He's obnoxious but he still makes you want to pick him up and cuddle him. Robotboy has already become one of my favourite shows and without Gus it wouldn't work Totoro From My Neighbour Totoro. Chuck's Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons of the 1950s and 1960s are works of art, but it's the hapless Coyote more than any other character with whom audiences can sympathise. Gus From Robotboy - a brand new show that we have co-produced in the UK.
The simplicity of the characters and the "wobbly" animation style were a huge hit. The new series, Roobarb and Custard Too, recreates the wobble effect wonderfully, as well as the antagonistic relationship between the two stars. Wile E Coyote Chuck Jones is a cartoon genius and one of his greatest achievements is Wile E Coyote. Originally created as the comic foil to Road Runner, Wile E Coyote quickly stole the show and became the poster child of luckless, try-hards the world over. Roobarb and Custard If a character's greatness is measured by the fondness with which they are recalled, then Roobarb and Custard may be the UK's favourite cartoon duo ever. Grange Calvery's enthusiastic dog, Roobarb, and equally sarcastic cat, Custard, were first brought to our screens by the BBC in 1974. I agree, not because of its surreal humour and satirical scripts, but because it champions the good in everyone, no matter how repulsive they may be.
In 1998 Time magazine called The Simpsons the greatest show of the 20th century. He's a mean-tempered, aggressive man and arguably the least likable character. For that reason, I am all the more amazed at how the writers still get me to sympathise with him. Just like Craig, she never lets logic get in the way of having a good laugh Mo From The Simpsons. Matt Groening's masterpiece is heaving with great characters, but my favourite has always been Mo.
