Both Nickelodeon and Disney, Doug shares a lot in common with other animated shows than you can imagine.
I kid you not. I often forget that despite being overshadowed by the likes of Ren and Stimpy, Hey Arnold, SpongeBob, Recess, Phineas and Ferb, just to name a few, Doug had a major influence on a lot of Youth in the 1990s and the 2000s.
I'm not going to get into the brains of all the other influences out there because:
1. I'm heading out to a computer store in Vancouver to get my Corsair Type 4 600w cable for my RTX 4080 GPU.
2. It's better to list the influences in a future blogpost, not a Maverick Quickie.
So let's keep things slightly simple and condensed.
Doug shares the same overseas animation studio with two shows depending on the particular era you follow.
The Nickelodeon series, with the exception of DOUG CAN'T DANCE which was animated domestically at Jumbo Pictures New York, was animated at HanHo Heung-Up.
Can you guess what else Hanho worked on?
The Disney Series on the other hand has more in common with these two shows shown below:
Don't ask why Jim Jenkins decided switch to Mike Judge's overseas animation studios during the late 90s because that just opens further questions that I just don't have all the answers to.
It's perfectly normal for a Saturday Morning cartoon to share the same studio that does animation for Prime-Time Adult Animation.
While HanHo Heung-Up is still active today, especially since they have Bob's Burgers to work with, Plus One Animation however is pretty much dormant.
As a matter of fact, Plus One is not working on the Beavis and Butthead Paramount+ revival since it switched to TITMOUSE Inc. for it's animation.
And we don't know if the King of the Hill revival will switch to Titmouse too.
And in the event DOUG is revived, chances is that it may have to change animation studios too.
If so, it might by animated at Atomic, Bardel, Wild Brain, Titmouse, or Mercury Filmworks.... or maybe even Rough Draft. Who knows. Revival plans are not on the table yet until I hear that Jim Jenkins wants to revive the series.
And one thing I highly request if the series is revived: BRING BACK BILLY WEST!!!!
