Will Kyle Carrozza ever rest? Not last night, he didn’t (poor MooBeard creator was up till 3AM working on the finishing touches to his boards for “Riley the Raccoon” and “Weird Eddie”. These are two pitches that the LA team has seen before, and which are now being presented to Fred Seibert. I think we counted that “Weird Eddie” has been pitched to us EIGHT TIMES. How’s that for tenacity?

Thanks so much Kyle for pitching so swell (Kyle’s voice work is AMAZING, by the way.)

Wow, 3 cartoons pitched. Moobeard, Riley Racoon, and Weird Eddie! I hope to at least get one of my cartoons on OY!! Jan 20th is my pitch! OMG cant wait!!

 

GO KYLE GO!!!!! Your Moo-beard animation looked AMAZING btw.. :)

 

Kyle, now u gotta post a clip of it!!! lol

 

He’s pretty amazing, ain’t he? We’re all rooting for him, here!

 

we all love kyle, and everyone wants to see more kyle shorts on oh yeah! <3

 

Eddie and Riley!! Wooo Woooo!!!
We’re all routing for you Kyle-you deserve it!

 

Man, both these shows look so interesting, I want to see these on TV. Great Job, Kyle!

 

Shows= Ideas

 

Hard work pays off! :D Go Kyle!

 

I’m really interested in seeing the “Weird Eddie” short.

 

We need more of Kyle’s cartoons! Yeah!!

 

Frederator really screwed up when they turned both of those cartoons down. Either one would have and could have been big time if gone series. I have a really good feeling that Moobeard just might do that.

Oh well, Fred’s loss, another company’s gain.

 

Kyle Carrozza has some of the coolest and most original story ans character concept stuff I’ve seen here at Oh Yeah! in a long ass time. I must confess, some of the stuff I’ve seen recently coming out of Oh Yeah! hasn’t been that great, and some of it, downright atrocious. You CARE about Kyle’s characters and know them well only after 7 minutes. I think Fred’s decision NOT to give Kyle a second cartoon was a really bad choice, seeing as it will probably be replaced with something that is not as worthy.

Mr. Carozza, my hat’s off to you. You’ll make it big with your tenacity and skill, believe me, somewhere - even if it’s not with Nickelodeon. You deserve bigger and better things, anyway. Nick is just a little fish in a big pond. Go for the shark!

 

C’mon Kyle, you’re not fooling anyone. Everyone knows you posted this. How can an anonymous person on the internet “CARE about Kyle’s characters and know them well only after 7 minutes” if the short isn’t out yet? Your stuff is not as good as you think. It’s rather amateurish and confused. You should spend some time learning to draw hands and feet better. Anyone who looks at your work with a professional eye can see you can’t draw hands and feet. You always hide them, or draw the same pose each time. Look at Moobeard, no hands, no feet. Gee I wonder why? You need to watch out for tangents on your drawings, they are all over the place. You need to make the poses more interesting in your character designs. I don’t get a feeling for the character’s personality based on your bland cookie cutter pin ups. Give your character an attitude in his pose. The poses you choose are unbalanced and awkward. Your color sense is way off too. Because of the colors you chose Moobeard’s dark pants are invisible because of the dark cape, and don’t get me started on the hat. Is that supposed to be a pirate hat? All in all I’m glad Frederator passed on your halfbaked nonsense. Frankly I’m surprised you got that first short. Weren’t you the first one greenlit? I see standards were pretty low in the beginning of the pitching program. I bet if you would have pitched Moobeard a month or two later than you did you wouldn’t have gotten greenlit.

I’d like to thank Frederator for having spared us from more of Kyle. It’s too bad he took up a slot that a more talented artist could have had.

By the way Kyle, Nickelodeon is not a little fish in a big pond. The “pond” being the animation business is actually small. There are only a few places besides Nickelodeon. And I don’t know if you checked lately but Nickelodeon is NUMBER 1, consistently beating Disney, Warners, Fox, and Cartoon Network.

Dude next time have some balls and post your name. If I were some idiot supporter of your hideous work, I’d post my name. Or at least a fake name. Like “MIKE JOHNSON” above. Oh sure Kyle that name’s real.

 

In the world of animation, I may consider myself quite the amateur. In the world of quality in general, I would prefer to think of myself as somewhat learned. Kyle’s stuff has been, most definitely, some of the most quality animation I’ve seen in all my years of life.

Our spectral guest here seems far too much like a high school fine arts teacher who is only disgruntled for not selling their own work and demands respect for meager accomplishments. As most people with the emotional maturity of a seventeen year-old will tell you, respect is earned through hard work, dedication, and respect for OTHERS who have also proven their worth. Kyle, in selling his cartoon, has proven his worth most certainly, while you could hardly pass the entrance examinations to kindergarden.

I will agree with another comment above stating that more Kyle would make the world a better place to be, and possibly even

 

Kyle is my best friend and one of the greatest and kindest people I have ever met. I am so happy that he got the opportunity to make a cartoon here, but disaapointed in the final decision not to give him another one. The more of Kyle’s work that’s on the air, a better place the world will be :)

I love you Kyle!

 

You know, I don’t think that was Chuck Jones at all.

 

Anyone who knows Kyle knows he would never post anything like that about himself anonymously. # 1 because that’s just not Kyle, and # 2 because he has enough sincere supporters that he would never need to do that.
Kyle is also very grateful to Fred Seibert and Nickelodeon for giving him the chance to produce his own cartoon short. Please respect what this blog is intended for.

 

Well said, mom! :)

I also have a feeling who wrote that “Chuck Jones” thing - pretty low and uneccesarily jealous sounding.

 

Kyle, pay no mind to my shameless bitter imitators. Making a short at Nick is a huge accomplishment and you should be proud!

CHUCK JONES POWER! AWAAAAAAAY!
*flies off*

 

Now THAT’S funny!

 

Ahhh, there we go. The REAL ghost! I know Chuck wouldn’t be such a…well…you know. :) He was a good man, with HONOR! :) Thanks for straightening things out, “Chuck!” :)

 

I also thank you, REAL Ghost!

 

To those folks whose comments we’ve had to delete: we don’t have problems with differing opinions here by any stretch (see above for proof); it’s that we’re trying to keep the site relatively profanity free as the majority of our audience is kids. Thanks.

 

Hey Kyle…..
Moo Beard looks great and I’m proud of the footage that came back.
You do an outstanding job. You’re a good artist, animator and good guy.
it’s a pleasure working with you.
Take care and I wish you all the best on your future pitches.
Your Cartoon Pal……
Jeff
