[up] Does that mean there's a reboot still in the works or has it been cancelled? Your wording is confusing.

It was in the works in 2020, but they shelved it. Last year, they took it off the shelf, but apparently with a different approach.

Robyn Byrd's involvement makes me feel a little better about the reboot, and less annoyed by Billy West's jumping on-board.

I still think this is a pointless reboot.

[up] It's kind of amusing, because Robyn Byrd was initially against the reboot happening, because of her suspecting that John Kricfalusi would've been involved.

[up] I think she was also concerned of unwanted harassment towards anyone that chose to be involved who might not even be aware of John's past.

[up][up][up] Bill Wray might also be involved. I've heard some stuff to that effect.

Bob Camp is not involved, for now, but he's met with the crew and he says they want to do this right.

The cast? She was never a voice actor, to my knowledge... If he means "the crew," then good for her and good for the show.

EDIT: That's not what Billy said. He said she's working on it. I assume in a producing position. I reiterate - good on her. She was one of the brilliant executives who made the original possible.

Another crew update: Awesome Inc., the production studio behind this revival, recently updated their site with new crew members.

Some notable talent includes:

This is not a fake, by the way, so good on Bob Jaques. He still hasn't been paid in full for Adult Party Cartoon.

And, for that matter, the number of Carbunkle guys who are involved. Good on them too.

As an addendum, Owen Fishback specifically noted he's a character layout artist, on his Twitter bio, for the series.

Happy happy joy joy, we got leaked character sheets of Ren, Stimpy, and some walrus in a tie!

I'm already hearing good things, like how Ren looks like a mix of his Spumco and Games Animation variants! grin

Looks clean and faithful until you realize that “no reference sheets” was a key rule when John K. was at the helm. I wonder how having reference sheets will affect the final product.

Looks very Season 2 inspired (even the walrus I believe was a one shot from a Season 2 episode). Probably the first time since then that Ren looks like a cute goofy dog instead of a grotesque naked old man.

But yeah, while I like it looks faithful to the 'peak' era, I hope they remember the whole point is that the show doesn't stay on-model.

[up]X2: Having model sheets doesn't necessarily have to mean "being on-model" on a strict sense. While some sheets have specific guidelines, it's supposed to be a springboard on what the character basically looks like, and allow for interpretation from there.

Furthermore, as established in the previous page, there's a bunch of returning alumni from the previous iterations. I think they're well aware.

Chico, Yeah no? That's giving too much credit to John K and I dont think he's to be credited with Ren And Stimpy being good at all. Also model sheet deviation is also more exciting when there is a model to deviate from.

There were indeed model sheets done for the original show in the 90s. You can see some of them in the style guide, released in 1992.

Most of the cartoons that followed in R&S' path also used model sheets - Cow and Chicken, for example, used them, and that show was full of hilarious, off-model expressions.

I guess some footage of the reboot has leaked, though I don't know the extent of how much.

For those curious, here's a quick scene of Ren fighting some cables.

Here's a different clip with sound that's a commercial for Log.
