Fran Krause, creator of Utica Cartoon had some good news today. Apparently, Utica Cartoon, a great pilot that aired during The Big Pick and ultimately lost, isn't dead! This is what I posted on rec.arts.animation:
"I'm sorry Fran that Utica lost. My 4 year od brother cried when it lost, he was that upset. I liked the show, but the animation was only ok. If the animation style was changed, the pilot would have been superb. Could you pitch the series to Nickelodeon or someone? The pilot was very good and it would be a shame to never see it get made."
Fran's response:
"Sheesh! Sorry your brother is bummed. I would give him a call from Micah Monkey if I knew his number. As for the Utica Cartoon, we're either going to do another pilot of it (with Osmosis-Jones quality animation) or we'll do a second, unrelated pilot, starting this fall and finishing up next spring. Should be fun. In the meantime, you and your brother can play games on the web page and maybe rent some good tex avery toons until it all blows over.

Utica Cartoon with Osmosis Jones animation? Need I say more. Hopefully Fran will pop up over here and maybe let us in on what's going on. I, for one, liked Utica, my only problem with it WAS it's animation. If the animation was Osmosis Jones quality, we'd all be in for a great treat!
(Wonders if I should post this in the news section...)
