Kid Cosmic is an American animated superhero television series created by Craig McCracken and developed by McCracken, his wife Lauren Faust and Francisco Angones for Netflix. The series was based on his 2009 comic The Kid from Planet Earth. Produced in-house by Netflix Animation, the show is McCracken's first to have a serialized format, as well as his second foray into the superhero genre, having previously created The Powerpuff Girls .^[1]^[2] Illustrated in a "retro 2D" style inspired by comics such as Dennis the Menace and The Adventures of Tintin , the series follows Kid, a young boy who gets a chance to become a superhero and fight evil aliens alongside other characters with different abilities.^[3]^[1]

Plot

Kid Cosmic follows Kid, a young boy who naïvely fantasizes about becoming a superhero, living in a junkyard in a thinly populated stretch of desert in New Mexico.^[1] When a spaceship crashes in the area, he discovers it has onboard five "Cosmic Stones of Power" that give him the chance of fulfilling his dream. When the stones attract alien invasions, he forms a motley team of superheroes to defend the Earth from them.^[3]^[1] This team, with each member having a stone giving them a unique power, consist of Kid's grandpa, George "Papa G" (Old Man Many Men), who can create multiple clones of himself; Kid's friend Jo (Portal Girl), who has the ability to teleport; Rosa (Niña Gigantica), a four-year-old girl who can become a 40-foot giant; and Tuna Sandwich (The Precognitive Cat), a cat that can predict the future with a third eye on his forehead.^[6] They are accompanied by Stuck Chuck, an alien invader stranded on Earth after the destruction of his ship. Stuck Chuck's mission is to steal the Cosmic Stones for his Great Leader.^[2]^[6]

In the second season, the Local Heroes are teleported into space and have to go on a quest to find the other eight Stones of Power to fight against Erodius the Planet Killer.

In the third and final season, the Local Heroes, now the Global Heroes, find out that there is actually a fourteenth silver Cosmic Stone of Power of healing, and learn further revelations about Erodious and the world they're currently in, requiring that they must make great sacrifices.

Voice cast

Main

Jack Fisher as Kid,^[3] a nine-year-old kid who finds the first five Stones of Power and uses them to fulfill his dream of being a superhero. His real name is unknown. He is an orphaned kid living with his grandfather, George "Papa G", in a junkyard where he spends time reading comics and collecting curious stuff from the yard. He is motivated to be a superhero after his parents died in a car collision and feels that having powers would have allowed him to save them. In the first season, he tried to dominate the use of the green Stone of Power which he initially thought was for flying until it is later revealed to have telekinetic powers. After losing this stone to Fantos in the second season, he uses the olive green Stone that transforms him into a slime form to the disgust of him and the rest of the gang. In the third season, he mastered the use of the Green Stone to the point of slowing down Erodius and prevents it from hitting Earth.
Amanda C. Miller as Johanna "Jo",^[3] a teenage waitress at Mo's Oasis and Kid's best friend who dreams of seeing the world, and is granted the power of portal creation by the purple Stone of Power. Her hero name is Portal Girl and she is also the leader of the team. In the second season, she has to prove her leadership abilities by leading the Local Heroes to find the remaining stones and confronting Erodius. In season 3, she found out her power stone doesn't just create portals to places she can think of, but also to places she can imagine.
Lily Rose Silver as Rosa Flores,^[3] a Mexican-American four-year-old girl who is granted the power to enlarge herself to gigantic proportions by the blue Stone of Power. Her hero name is La Niña Gigantica, which is Spanish for "The Gigantic Girl". She is the daughter of Ramona and Carlos Flores and an energetic girl that is devoted to helping Kid and Jo in their adventures despite her young age, going to the point of recovering the Power Stones by herself. As a regular girl, she loves dinosaurs and princesses.
Tom Kenny as Stuck Chuck,^[3] an alien who is among the first to try to steal the Stones of Power from Kid and ends up stuck with Kid's group when, as a result, he loses both his ship and legs. His name is a nickname thought up by Jo since his real name was never revealed, and he was also the one who caused the spaceship with the first five Stones of Power to crash on Earth. Initially seeking any opportunity to get the stones for his Great Leader, he reforms near the end of the first season by also providing his translator to Tuna Sandwich because he began to understand English. In season two, he works as a dishwasher in Mo's Oasis and gains the dark blue Stone of Power, granting him pain absorption. Similar to Kid, he also likes to read comics.
Fred Tatasciore as Tuna Sandwich,^[3] a cat who resides at Mo's Oasis and to whom Kid gives the red Stone of Power, granting him the power to see glimpses of the future. His hero name is The Precognitive Cat. Tuna wears a high-tech collar that translates his speech into English, given to him by Chuck as of "The Invaders from Earth".
Keith Ferguson as:
- George "Papa G",^[3] Kid's hippie grandfather who encourages Kid to find nonviolent solutions to his problems, and is granted the power to clone himself by the yellow Stone of Power. His hero name is Old Man Many Men. His design and personality are very similar to Wander from McCracken's third animated series, Wander Over Yonder . In the third and final season, he is revealed to be 112 years old, as he kept the silver Stone of Power, which grants the wielder instantaneous healing abilities since he found it as a child and it has kept him healthy ever since. But once he returned the silver stone to Erodius, his vitality disappeared and he became weak and decrepit to the point where he now needs a wheelchair to move around, as his age finally caught up with him.
- Carl, a trucker and regular at Mo's Oasis. In the second season, he gains the ability to turn invisible through the turquoise Stone of Power.
Kim Yarbrough as Florence "Flo",^[7] Jo's mother and proprietor of Mo's Oasis. She tries to keep her business floating even when dealing with Kid Cosmic's antics, including having her diner in space. Despite that, she decides to support Jo, even if she prefers to get mentorship from Queen Xhan. She tends to use several of the Power Stones Jo finds in the second season while she never dominates the use of one. However, in the third and final season, she dominates the use of the olive green Stone, even to the point to stop Fantos a little.

In the depths of space, a fleet of orange aliens attack a spacecraft carrying five Stones of Power. Badly damaged, the spacecraft's pilot uses the purple Stone's power to evade all but one of the pursuing aliens and crash-lands in an unspecified area of the American desert. The wreckage is discovered by superhero fanatic Kid, who recovers the Stones and makes them into rings, dubbing himself "Kid Cosmic". He takes the green Stone for himself, which gives him the power of flight. He shows off his power to his friend Jo, a teenager working at her mother's diner in town. Jo takes the purple Stone, granting the power to create portals. The two are ambushed by the orange alien from the fleet (later nicknamed "Stuck Chuck" by Jo) but manage to trap him in the floor of Kid's trailer. Chuck tells Jo and Kid that the Stones' presence on Earth will ignite a cosmic war that will destroy the planet, so Kid convinces Jo to help him form a superhero team to protect the town.

Kid's blue Stone is stolen by 4-year-old Rosa, granting her the power to grow to 40 feet tall. Jo and Kid unsuccessfully try to remove the ring from Rosa's finger, with Kid vehemently opposed to Rosa joining his superhero team. Giant Rosa accidentally frees Chuck from the trailer and he uses the power of the yellow Ring to create copies of himself and take back the green and purple Stones.

Tuna Sandwich has a vision that appears to show Kid on the ship as it explodes, and follows after them. After finding the spaceship, Chuck admits to lying about the Scroll and attempts to contact his Great Leader through the ship's console, but is attacked by Tuna. In the ensuing chaos, the ship's self-destruct sequence is activated. Everyone manages to escape the explosion through one of Jo's portals, though Chuck loses the lower half of his body in the process. Kid christens his team with the name "Kid Cosmic and the Local Heroes" as one of Tuna's future premonitions shows a giant alien battle raging across the desert.

Waves of invading aliens start arriving on Earth to claim the Stones. The Local Heroes manage to hold onto the rings mainly through a combination of luck and Rosa's brute force, documenting their victories on tape. Kid starts a tradition of awarding the "Medal of Heroism" to the team member who saved the day, but starts to doubt himself when he becomes the only hero yet to receive one. Desperate to prove himself, Kid takes on and defeats an invading robot army alone, not knowing that it was actually Papa G trying to boost his confidence. After the team gives Kid his medal, Chuck steals the tape containing proof of Papa G's ruse.

He fails to get through and is picked up by the rest of the Local Heroes. The team makes up and agrees to help return the Stones to their rightful owners. The Local Heroes and Chuck repurpose an ice cream truck as the "Kid Cosmobile" and Papa G supplies them with superhero costumes. Driving directly into the battle, the gang repeatedly interrupts the fighting to convince the Earth Force to stand down.

The Biker tries to run down the heroes with his truck, triggering Kid's memory of his parents' accident. In his moment of distress, Kid levitates everyone off the ground, revealing the green Stone's true power of telekinesis. He uses the power to take the rest of the Stones back from the Earth Force and offer them back to the aliens, learning the Stones are the remaining remnants of their worlds, destroyed by the Planet Killer, Erodius. 6 months later, life for the team has mostly returned to normal when a battered Queen Xhan comes back to town with the 5 Stones, announcing that Erodius has returned, and they need to collect all 13 Stones to defeat Erodius.

However, Queen Xhan reminds Jo who is the leader and she puts the team back into the party, without noticing that Fantos has also arrived at the party to steal the stones. When Kid notices Fantos' presence, he decides to try to steal back his telekinetic stone without hearing Jo's orders, blowing the team's cover. However, Erodius also appears and begins to destroy the planet that is giving gravity to the satellite where the party is thrown, making Jo panic.

With the help of Krosh, Jo tries to put the Local Heroes in shape to fight Erodius, but the team is not willing to provide a fight against either Krosh or Rosa. At the same time, a group of survivors from a recent attack of Erodius migrates to Mo's Oasis with a size so tiny that the complete civilization could survive in one of the motel rooms. However, a surprise attack by Fantos puts the team at an advantage by removing the rings from the Local Heroes except for Krosh, Rosa, and Jo. Jo, thinking fast, puts the Local Heroes to work by protecting the immigrants while Krosh and Jo fight Fantos together and, while Fantos takes the upper hand to the point to throw Jo away from Mo's Oasis, Krosh rescues her, and they both defeat Fantos to the point of him running in humiliation. The gang celebrates the duo's triumph, but Jo announces that the Local Heroes are disbanded, deciding Krosh is the only team she needs to beat Erodius.

Erodius destroys Mo's Oasis, while Queen Xhan runs away with the small civilization. Finally, Erodius is moved once again to Earth where the Local Heroes see the planet approaching in frustration. However, Kid brings a big Goo Stone with him, and, along with some Growth Stones, he comes up with a plan. The Local Heroes, using a Teleportation Stone, enters Erodius and using the properties of both Goo and Growth stones to burrow into the center of the planet and destroy it just before it collides with Earth. After that, 3 agents from the Planet Protection Group (PPG), a group banded to defend Earth, approaches the Local Heroes to thank them for their actions but also to enroll them to find the stones that are now all over the planet, reforming the group now as The Global Heroes.

But, when the Global Heroes try to catch up with the situation, they are called back to use a big mecha robot to confront The Biker in Black's machine. Jo, still suspicious, moves out of the machine during the fight and she finds evidence that the reality has been altered and that the missions are fixed by none other than Kid Cosmic unknowingly, who is inadvertently materializing his adventures based on the comics he read that he would win easily, but Papa G appears, revealing he was aware of it since they were sent to Earth and had known because the comics that Kid reads were originally his and was able to deduce it since the comics and missions they previously undertook were extremely similar to the comic's stories. Jo runs to warn Kid, but Papa G fights her in his desire to keep Kid happy. When Jo defeats him, Papa G falls into the vacuum, revealing he is not a clone and urging Jo to save him.

Fantos, tired to see Erodius destroying small planets and asteroids, decides to use the Green Stone to lead Erodius on a collision course to Earth. The Local Heroes infiltrate Erodius and confront Fantos, who easily dispatches the Heroes with the collection of Stones in his apron. During the battle, Papa G is seemingly crushed by some stones, and while Kid loses his green stone to help him, he also remembers his first days with Papa G when he helps him build a bike using stuff from the junkyard to comfort him over the loss of his parents. However, Papa G emerges completely unharmed and reveals that, somehow, his lucky amulet had saved his life. Fantos traps all the Local Heroes inside a big suit made with Erodius' geodes and uses the energy of the planet to start attacking Earth, but suddenly, Erodius manifests the Goo Stone's power and traps Fantos underneath a pool of slime, suffocating him. The gang try their best to save themselves, but Kid decides to dive into the slime pool to recover the Stones. When all seems lost, Kid emerges from the slime and reclaims the Stones, including his own, which he uses to momentarily slow down Erodius. Suddenly, Erodius uses the Red Stone's power to connect mentally with everyone and reveals that it was a planet used for healing but, after being destroyed by an asteroid, moved to destroy other planets so it can find the remains of its core that would restore it. Papa G realizes that he has the fourteenth stone--his lucky amulet, which has kept him alive for 112 years, and uses it to cure Erodius. However, this causes the Power Stones to lose power. Jo uses the remains of her power to get the gang back to Earth, but without his stone, Papa G's age catches up to him and seemingly collapses.
24	6	"The Grand Opening of Planet Earth"	Written by : Rob Renzetti & Craig McCracken Story by : Francisco Angones, Colleen Evanson, Craig McCracken & Rob Renzetti	John Jackson, Dave Thomas, Justin Nichols & Vaughn Tada	February 3, 2022 (2022-02-03)
Kid and the gang attend a funeral service to mourn the victims of Erodius, and discard their now powerless stones into the chasm where Mo's Oasis once was. A man in black and soldiers appear to thank them for saving Earth from Erodius and pay them big, but tell them to keep their adventures a secret. Six months later, the new Mo's Oasis is about to re-open. Kid plans to share the truth of all their adventures through comic books, but all the editorials reject his ideas. Frustrated, he takes a bike ride and sees an agent of the PPG, and so thinks this means they are still in the fantasy world, but while the PPG is in fact real, it is not the same as the fantasy version. Frustrated again, Kid ventilates he is not happy with not sharing the truth to the rest of the world: not that he and the gang are heroes, but that while the combined community of the rest of the universe is so much like the communities of Earth, the planet is cut off from all of it, acknowledging that the diner is in the middle of nowhere. Later, he discovers that Flo has transformed the jukebox into a communicator that broadcasts into outer space, enabling aliens to visit Earth and attend the diner.

Production

Upon completion of his Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends series in 2009, Craig McCracken planned a career in publishing his own comics or graphic novels, a more "intimate [and] direct approach to cartooning" in contrast to working with a large crew for a television network.^[9] During that time he made a comic strip entitled The Kid from Planet Earth,^[10] about a young boy who fantasized about becoming a superhero.^[1] He was inspired by the idea of how different reality would be if the character actually got the chance to fulfill such an aspiration.^[1] McCracken wanted to "tap into this naïve confidence that all kids have" of being a superhero, while also basing the concept on his early years of wanting to become a professional artist.^[1]^[11] He later realized that, in order to have the characters "learn, grow and change," he would have to tell the story with a serialized format.^[12] Knowing that "[no network] would want it at the time",^[13] he put the idea aside until 2015, when the industry of animation became more accepting of serialization within kids' animated series.^[1]^[12]

After the cancellation of Wander Over Yonder , McCracken, alongside his wife Lauren Faust, his friend Francisco Angones, as well as several former Wander Over Yonder staff members including Andy Bean, Chris Tsirgotis, Justin Nichols and Dave Thomas, further expanded the idea and ultimately produced an animatic for a 22-minute episode.^[12]^[14] The series was then pitched to Disney, who ultimately passed on it in favor of The Owl House .^[15]^[16] Upon learning that Netflix were setting up an animation studio and was looking for new shows, he went to their studios on a Thursday and presented the animatic as a pilot.^[1]^[12] The executives supported the idea of a 22-minute family show, and greenlit the series the following Wednesday.^[12] "It was really quick and quite an incredible experience!", McCracken recalled in 2021.^[1] The show was eventually retitled to Kid Cosmic to avoid confusion with The Last Kids on Earth , another Netflix cartoon.^[17]

McCracken and his old friend Rob Renzetti served as executive producers for the show.^[1] With the use of the Toon Boom Harmony software, Mercury Filmworks animated the show in Ottawa, Canada, with a staff of 110 employees.^[1] The company had done animation services previously for the first season of Wander Over Yonder, McCracken's previous creation.^[18] Netflix's animation division is leading production with a team of approximately 45 people.^[1]^[19] Having produced solely for television in the past, McCracken felt that he now had more creative freedom to pitch projects that had a darker tone or that could work as a movie, something that television channels "might shy away from".^[19] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the series team had to continue working at home since March 2020, slowing down the production process.^[2] According to McCracken, completing a season takes a year and a half of hard work, from writing start to finish.^[1]

Design and themes

The main setting of the show, an arid landscape with a "generic rural southwest desert vibe", is presumed to be New Mexico. However, McCracken said in an interview for Den of Geek: "It could be New Mexico, it could be California [or] it could be Arizona. Basically it's a remote enough place where a spaceship could crash and not a lot of people would know about it."^[20]

Stylistically, the show is meant to resemble the visual look of classic comics such as Hank Ketcham's Dennis the Menace and Hergé's The Adventures of Tintin ,^[1]^[3] where every action is grounded in reality: "A lot of the choices that we made in Kid were based on the fact that these are real people in the real world [...] So with the animation we avoided overly smooth and flowy actions or lots of squash and stretch, things that you associate with cartoons," McCracken said.^[20] Stuck Chuck's design is a nod to the aliens from the 1996 film Mars Attacks! and other science-fiction movies.^[21] Spaceships, cars, and major locations like Mo's Oasis Café are often represented by 3D models.^[22]

McCracken affirmed that some of the ideas explored within the show are also based on things that he personally experienced, such as the loss of his father at the age of 7, similar to the protagonist, who lost both of his parents.^[12] The dynamics between Kid and Jo are loosely based on McCracken's relationship with his older sister and are similar to those of Mac and Frankie in Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends.^[21] Rosa's "playful spirit" is also a reflection of the creator's young daughter.^[1]^[6]

Kid Cosmic also plays on the theme that "heroes help, not hurt", which means the characters often show a compassionate attitude toward their adversaries.^[12] This strays in tone from McCracken's first popular work, The Powerpuff Girls , which he described as a "campy parody of superheroes".^[12] He declared: "I really didn't want to tell a story to kids that said, 'Hey, if you get great powers, then you can go and beat up bad guys and be violent and win.' I didn't want that to be the message. So I asked myself what a real hero is".^[12]

Music

The series features music by composer and multi-instrumentalist Andy Bean, who had previously worked on soundtracks for animated productions. In February 2021, Netflix released a soundtrack album titled Kid Cosmic and the Sonic Courage. Under the name of the show's fictional "70's psychedelic garage punk band" Dr. Fang and the Gang, the soundtrack features music and songs of the first season written, composed and performed by multi-instrumentalist Andy Bean. He had previously written and composed the soundtrack for McCracken's third series Wander Over Yonder.^[23]

Release

Kid Cosmic was announced on November 6, 2018, along with other Netflix animated projects.^[24] A trailer was released on January 5, and the show debuted on February 2, 2021.^[3] Five companion shorts were released on the Netflix Features YouTube channel on February 3, 2021.^[25] The trailer for season 2 was released on August 10 of that year, with the episodes debuting later on September 7.^[4] The trailer for season 3 was released on the Netflix website at January 6, 2022 and on the official Netflix Futures YouTube channel on January 13 of that year, with the last 6 episodes debuting later on February 3 of that year.

Reception

Kid Cosmic was met with positive reviews. On Rotten Tomatoes, the first season holds a 100% approval rating based on 6 reviews, with an average rating of 7.9/10.^[26]

Adrián Carande from the Spanish magazine Cinemanía called it "a little miracle [that is] flawlessly animated" and brings McCracken back to his roots, while being "sincere" "fast-paced", and "effective".^[27] IGN's Nicole Clark said that the first season wrapped up with the side characters lacking development, instead focusing on Kid's emotional process as a superhero. She also described him as "an extremely challenging character to sit with", and synthesized this season as a "merely entertaining show."^[28] Karen Han from Slate magazine said that the season "is all about opening the gates and letting people in", with the main team "finally finding its groove" and a cliffhanger ending.^[29] Vulture editor John Maher included the show as one of the stand-out animations from early 2021, praising the "patient character development, subtle world-building flourishes, and a willingness to explore just how hard it is to grow up."^[30] Likewise, Los Angeles Times named Kid Cosmic one of the 13 best TV shows of that year.^[31] Amanda Dyer of Common Sense Media described the series as a "fun superhero comedy teaches patience" but warned of the "mild violence." She also stated that character in the series learn "valuable lessons about teamwork and what makes a true superhero" and said the series is a "great option for family viewing" especially for those who grew up watching The Powerpuff Girls .^[32]
