Klasky CsuporightKlasky Csupo Inc. (pronounced Class-key Chew-po) is a multimedia entertainment production company located in Los Angeles, California, founded by artist/producer Arlene Klasky and master animator Gabor Csupo. Klasky Csupo started in 1982, and it's studio was initially just a spare bedroom on the LA Apartment, which Klasky and Csupo both shared at the time. Brief Overview Although the company has been most famous for its animated cartoons for Nickelodeon, such as Rugrats, Rocket Power, and The Wild Thornberrys, Klasky Csupo also produced the animation for the first three seasons of The Simpsons. (after which DPS Film Roman took over in 1992). Their second major series of work, other than Nickelodeon, was Duckman for USA Network; it revolved around the home life and adventures of a dim-witted and lascivious private detective duck named Eric Duckman. The series ran from 1994 to 1997. Also in 1994, the series released Nick's second K-C series, AAAHH!!! Real Monsters!. After Monsters! and Duckman both ended in 1997, K-C began producing The Wild Thornberrys for Nickelodeon. It revolved around a girl who could talk to animals (ala Dr. Dootidle). The series first aired in 1998. The company is also active in the production of recorded music. They have also produced a number of projects in commercial advertising, including a series of retail videos for the McDonald's hamburger chain. After 1998 and into the 2000s, K-C began producing new shows such as Rocket Power, As Told by Ginger, Santo Bugito'' and Stressed Eric. In 2001, In honor of the Rugrats 10th Anniversary, K-C released a special entitled "All Growed Up". The special featured the famous babies as pre-teenagers; it was so successful, that a series based on that special premiered in 2003. Name Pronounciation and its Logo Although the company's official pronounciation is "Class-key Chew-po", many fans think the pronounciation is "Class-key ''Cu-su-po"; this was the case when the company used a special movie ident of the logo (see below) for The Rugrats Movie in 1998, where an open mouth, with two big blue blinking eyes speaks the words "Klasky-Csupo!" ("Class-key Cu-su-po", and in a robot voice), some white 3-D toy blocks with the words KLASKY CSUPO come spinning out of the mouth. The blocks arrange themselves in configuration of the company logo. Their current logo is a updated version of their original ID that first appeared at the end of the world premiere of Rugrats in 1991. There was an alternate ident (with a different logo) seen in the 2003 movie Rugrats Go Wild!'', but shows have continued to use the original 1991 ident. Series produced External links
