The new episodes of Skatoony will be animated entirely in-house by Cartoon Network in London while Talent Television, creators of the kids’ reality series Best of Friends, again handles all live-action elements. The show is created, produced and directed by James Fox. Kevin Narrainen also serves as producer and Finn Arnesen is exec producer for Cartoon Network. Annie Miles exec produces for Talent Television, while Amanda Browning handles producer duties and John A. Marley directs the live-action shoots.
Skatoony has real-life and cartoon contestants competing in three rounds of wild game show challenges, with the final contestant taking everything in an against-the-clock challenge. Many of the contestants will be chosen via a web competition currently running at www.cartoonnetwork.co.uk. Groups of three friends can play the online Skatoony Quiz Champ Challenge and win the chance to audition live at their school early next year. There have been more than 6000 entries to date.
