Burbank-based animation studio Bento Box Entertainment has been tapped to produce the animation for Bob’s Burgers, a new prime-time animated series for Fox.
The series, which has an order for 13 episodes, is about a guy who runs a burger joint with the help of his tightly wound wife and three unhelpful kids. It’s created and co-written by Loren Bouchard (Home Movies; Dr. Katz: Professional Therapist), who also is a showrunner with Jim Dauterive (King of the Hill).
Bento Box principal Mark McJimsey (King of the Hill) will be a producer on the project. Bento Box was formed last year with partners Scott Greenberg, former president and chief operating officer of Film Roman; Joel Kuwahara, a veteran producer on The Simpsons; and McJimsey, longtime producer on King of the Hill.
Bento Box is currently producing Neighbors from Hell for Twentieth Century Fox Television in conjunction with Jeffrey Katzenberg and DreamWorks Animation to premiere on TBS this summer.
