It’s not like Bill is supposed to look like a real cat after all, and I’m pretty sure that trying to realistically animate a Snorklewhacker would actually break the laws of physics.

Yes, we know that style is all the rage lately, but there’s so much more room for diversity of style in 2D animation plus, the comics are already drawn in 2D anyway. Regardless of who does produce the music, however, Billy and the Boingers is an absolute must.ĭear whoever works at Fox and might be reading this, please don’t try and make Bloom County 3D. As the music should be just as eclectic as the band’s shenanigans, I’d actually nominate The Mighty Boosh for writing duties on this one. They are bizarre, occasionally wholesome, frequently dress up in KISS makeup, and have been known to destroy a few hotel rooms in their time. Billy and the Boingers Soundtrackįor those of you who don’t know, Billy and the Boingers (formerly Deathtongue) are the resident band in the strip, made up of Opus the Penguin, Bill the Cat, Hodge Podge the Rabbit, and managed by Steve Dallas, the human.

However, most of Holloway’s roles were taken over by the talented Jim Cummings, who is very much alive and honestly probably on retainer by Disney, who now owns the Fox network, so it shouldn’t be too much of a corporate stretch to get the man hired. Unfortunately, Holloway died in 1992, so that dream is a little bit impossible to fulfill. In the same 2007 interview, Breathed stated that his dream casting for Opus was Sterling Holloway, a voice actor known for his roles as Winnie the Pooh, the Cheshire Cat, and Kaa the Snake, among other classic characters.
BLOOM COUNTY TV
Ironically, when reflecting on the special in 2007, Breathed was quoted as saying his humor “wasn’t meant for television, even if it was done right.” With that in mind, we have a list of a few things we think might help get this flightless waterfowl of a TV show off the ground. While the sentiment is sweet, as was the book, the special was lackluster at best. While those are the only details about the project we know so far, we’re here to go over a quick history of Bloom County and jot down a wishlist of all the things we want to see from this upcoming series.īloom County has only been adapted to the screen once before when Breathed’s spin-off children’s book about Opus the Penguin was turned into a half-hour Christmas special called A Wish For Wings That Work. Instead, it’s that Berkeley Breathed’s comic strip Bloom County is getting an animated series at Fox.

One of the most surprising announcements to come out of the past two weeks is not that an unnamed Spider-Man actor has a fake butt.
