YouTube ShutUpCartoons

Shut Up! Cartoons was a YouTube animation channel project created by Anthony Padilla and Ian Hecox of Smosh and by Barry Blumberg, featuring various animated videos. [1] [2] [3] Shut Up! Cartoons launched on April 30, 2012, with Do's and Don'ts, and ended with the termination of the series Smosh Babies on June 23, 2017. [4] [5] [6] [7]

Ownership and production

The channel was launched as part of YouTube's $100 million "original channel initiative" by Smosh co-creators Anthony Padilla and Ian Hecox, as well as Barry Blumberg. Blumberg served as the president of the Smosh YouTube channel, as well as Shut Up! Cartoons. Previously, Blumberg served as the executive vice president of Harvey Entertainment, [8] as well as Disney Television Animation chief. [9] At the time of Shut Up! Cartoon's launch, Blumberg was the Head of Content for Alloy Digital, [10] which would become Defy Media via its 2013 merger with Break Media. As such, Defy Media owned Shut Up! Cartoons. [11]

At the channel's launch, Lenora Hume served as its production lead. [9] Later, TeamTO co-founder Corinne Kouper served as head of production on Shut Up! Cartoons. [12]

Content

The initial teaser trailer featured clips from 11 different shows, with Padilla and Hecox later informing their viewers that there were 18 planned shows in total. The first three cartoons launched by the network included Do's and Don'ts: A Children's Guide to Social Survival, Zombies vs. Ninjas, and Pubertina, a show about an 11-year-old girl going through puberty. [13] [14] In May 2012, Smosh launched Krogzilla , a show created by and starring Cory Edwards featuring John O'Hurley, about a shrunken sea monster seeking employment. [15] Snowjacked soon followed, broadcasting on Tuesdays to mixed reception. [16]

At the end of the first three cartoons' 10-episode run, they were replaced by Nature Break, Weasel Town, and Oishi High School Battle. Oishi High School Battle was a 10-episode live-action animated series created by Daniel Dominguez and Joe Gressis, [a] which followed a anime teenage demon hunter, Oishi Kawaii, attending an American high school following the termination of her father Ryuzu's job due to incompetence. [5] [6] [7] The series was directed by Brett Weiner [17] and animation directed by M.C. Griffin. [18] [19] [20] Lauder Robinson and Peter Lundquist produced the series, [21] with Dena Hysell-Cornejo and Melody Rutherford serving as executive producers alongside Padilla, Hecox and Blumberg. [8] [22] Marina Viscun and Jake Hartley served as associate producers. [23] [24] [25] The theme song was performed by Blood on the Dance Floor. [26] The series ran from July 13, 2012 to September 14, 2012. Another show was added replacing Krogzilla, called Samurai! Daycare. [27] In September 2012, they also launched Politicats to replace Snowjacked. The show that replaced Nature Break was Planets, a reality show about the ten celestial bodies of the Solar System (the eight planets, Pluto, and the Sun).

Weasel Town's replacement, entitled Really Freaking Embarrassing, was created by Peter Hannan (Nickelodeon's CatDog ). [28] The series had its first trailer removed by YouTube for "shocking and disturbing content". A new trailer was added, with fewer disturbing scenes. In September 2012, the channel launched Oishi Origins, a three-episode prequel to Oishi High School Battle. The show replacing Samurai! Daycare was Icons of Teen, which features both fictional characters (such as Batman and Spock) and real celebrities (such as Oprah Winfrey) as teenagers. Also that week, Oishi Origins was replaced by Teleporting Fat Guy, which was based on a character from previous Smosh videos, who explains how he became the Teleporting Fat Guy.

On November 20, 2012, Politicats was replaced by Sub: 3, following a Speed Racer-like character that delivers pizza on a tight time limit, met by mixed reviews. On November 28, 2012, the trailer for With Zombies, created by Matt Clark (the creator of Planets), was released. On February 17, 2013, Oishi High School Battle was nominated for Best Animated Series at the 3rd Streamy Awards, but lost to Electric City . [29] [30] [31] On June 12, 2013, the paper series Paper Cuts premiered on the channel. The ten episodes featured shot-by-shot re-creations of famous movie scenes and trailers made entirely out of construction paper. On June 23, 2013, the Canadian stop motion series Life's a Zoo premiered on the channel. On June 26, 2013, Oishi High School Battle was renewed for a second season, [32] [33] [34] with episodes being directed by Joe Gressis. [35] Adam Deyoe and Loren "Enzo" Semmens joined production as live-action director and producers, [36] the latter through his company Bronco Showdown, [37] [38] and Hilary Miller was hired as a script editor for the episodes. [39] Jeffrey Peters served as director of photography for the season, [40] and Lucas Smith did second unit camera work. [41] On November 15, 2013, Do's and Don'ts and Krogzilla received IAWTV nominations for Best Animated Web Series. [42] In January 2014, Oishi High School Battle was renewed for a third and final season. [43] The second seasons for Do's and Don'ts and Pubertina premiered in April 2014.

On June 23, 2017, the channel posted their final video, which was the series finale of Smosh Babies, [44] and ceased operations following Padilla's departure from Smosh. [45] [46] Defy Media later removed all the episodes of Oishi High School Battle from Smosh's website and the channel, and sold the rights to Verizon's streaming service go90, commissioning a 20-episode sequel series named Oishi: Demon Hunter. The series was directed by Joe Gressis and produced by Alan R. Cohen and Alan Freedland. [47] The series was produced in 2017–2018. [48] [49] Actors Cathy Shim, Kyoko Mase, Shawn Pearlman, Greg Watanabe, Anthony Burch and Kevin Joy and Gressis himself reprised their roles from the original series, while new actors and actresses were cast for the production. [b] Mark Viloria handled plate shooting for green screen use, [50] and Andrew Garwig served as a production assistant. [51] Animation production was handled by SmashBits Animation. [c] [52] The series was edited by Michael Stratigakis, [53] Barrett J. Amato, [54] Don Fisco, [55] and Kenny Kiesecker. [56] Oishi: Demon Hunter was set to air in March 2019. [57] However, production was halted when go90 shut down on July 31, 2018, [58] [59] [60] and Defy Media also shut down on November 6 of that same year. [61] [62]
