History WesternAnimation / TheGroovenians

%% * GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe: Lalasha

* AbhorrentAdmirer: Glindy's sister is this for Jet.

* FanDisservice: King Norman in a bikini. No. Just no.

%% * FelonyMisdemeanor: This show morality seems to be firmly set in type 1.

* JerkassHasAPoint: The parents and Norman say that you can't just have fun all the time. You have to take responsibility for your life. However, despite this justified line, they're treated like the villains.
* LimitedAnimation: A rarity in CG animated productions. It manages to look bad even by 2002 standards.
* ALongTimeAgoInAGalaxyFarFarAway: It's just set on two planets called Jeepers and Groovenia with no mention of Earth.

* MultiBoobage: The Groovian flight attendant.

* WomanScorned: Glindy's sister after Jet leaves her.

* AllCGICartoon
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation

* AuthorFilibuster: Painfully so. Why else would a career modern artist make a cartoon that is effectively a thinly-disguised rant about the importance of artistic vision?

* DeadpanSnarker: Swirly.

* FantasyForbiddingFather: Both of Jet's parents count.
* FelonyMisdemeanor: This show morality seems to be firmly set in type 1.
* GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe: Lalasha

* MindScrew: Just...one...long...mind screw.

* TakeThatCritics: Some people believe that this is what Scharf was trying to say through his characters.
* TemptingFate: Subverted. After Glindy says "Could this place get any better?" King Norman and his goons show up.
* TotallyRadical

* VillainSong: "The Money Song".

* WeWillMeetAgain: Norman vows that he'll be back to get Glindy and Jet. It's possible that if the pilot succeeded, he would have been a reoccurring villain.

* SettleForSibling: Jett's parents attempt to marry him off to Glindy's sister Yelda. Glindy manages to break free and run off with Jet in time.

* PopStarComposer: The B-52s did the title song, while [[VideoGame/CrashBandicoot Mutato]] [[VideoGame/JakAndDaxter Muzika]] did the background music and the [[VillainSong Money Song]]

'''''The Groovenians''''' was a 2002 half-hour CGI television special created by surrealist painter Kenny Scharf. It served as a failed pilot to a potential series that never came into fruition and aired on Creator/CartoonNetwork only twice, the first time being on the Creator/AdultSwim block and the second time being on the "Fridays" block. After a 2003 nomination Annie Award for Best Animated Short Subject [[http://www.perkypickle.com/groov-films/ (and an attempt to pitch it to MTV and VH-1)]], the short was never heard from again. The cast features Creator/PaulReubens as the main character Jet, Drena [=DeNiro=] ([[Creator/RobertDeNiro Robert]]'s daughter) as Glindy, Creator/DennisHopper in the dual role of the father and the villainous King Norman and Jeff Bennett as Suavo. Music/TheB52s contributed the titular theme while Mutato Muzika composed the music and the "Money Song". Jordan Reichek of ''VideoGame/CrashTwinsanity'' fame co-wrote the story, served as the production designer and drew the storyboard.

!!This show is an example of:

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The scene where Jet sticks the key into Zazzy's "slot".
** Not to mention the brief scene with Glindy meeting her "boss". [[BrainBleach Curse you]], [[AllAnimeIsNaughtyTentacles anime]]!
* FanDisservice:King Norman in a bikini. No. Just no.
