Call it Charlie Brown with a twist.
Brothers Keenen Ivory, Shawn and Marlon Wayans, of Scary Movie and In Living Color fame, have created a series of animated children's shows, with books and toys to follow. Its name: Thugaboo. The series of three specials will premiere on Nickelodeon, then air on the network's all-animation channel, Nicktoons, a network spokeswoman said Wednesday.
Inspired by the Wayans brothers' favourite childhood cartoons, Thugaboo follows the misadventures of nine kids growing up in the inner city. "It's like hard meets soft," Shawn Wayans said. "The thug is how they dress, kind of street, but they're good kids and they make the right decisions." Three specials are planned - an hourlong show and two half-hour programs - centred on important times in children's lives. (continue)
