Ape Escape Cartoons

Can you believe it? Ape Escape is finally debuting in the U.S. So, make sure you take a break this weekend from celebrating our nation’s independence by tuning in Nicktoons Network Sunday afternoon - 3:00 p.m. in the east; noon in the west - to watch the first of thirty-eight two-minute cartoons based on the very popular video game. While the series was produced by Frederator, Project 51, Hawaii Film Partners, and Showcase Entertainment, the big, special ape-like thanks goes to the shorts’ writers/board artists:

Mike Bell
Niki Yang
Adam Muto
Don Dougherty
Doug TenNapel
Karl Toerge
Andrew Dickman
Dave Cunningham
Mike Gray
Doug Gray
Chad Coyle
Sam Henderson
Chris McDonnell
Kenny Pittenger
Ross Kolde

An extra tip of the hat goes to Mr Toerge. Not just the supervising director, Karl pulled off the Herculean task of overseeing the show’s creative production from Day One, usually from his compound on the shores of Hawaii. Thanks for all the work, Karl.
