Skatoony (stylized as SkatoonY) is a American/British/Canadian
children's animated game show, pitting live-action kids against
cartoons. The series was co-produced with FremantleMedia Animation
(for the British version), Blink Studios (for the Arabic version), and
Marblemedia with Smiley Guy Studios (for the North American version).
The series used to air on Cartoon Network in the UK. Reruns are still
occasionally shown on Teletoon in Canada. Now it is online in the US
on Toon Goggles. On US television, the show aired on Starz Kids &
Family until 2019.The show is hosted by 'Chudd Chudders' (voiced by
Rupert Degas in the UK and Jonathan Wilson in North America) and 'The
Earl' (voiced by Lewis MacLeod in UK and James Rankin in North
America).In 2001, Skatoony began as a competition microsite on the
Cartoon Network UK website co-developed by James Fox and Brian Boyle,
who the latter left Cartoon Network before the series premiered. In
2006, the first full-length Skatoony TV show premiered on the Cartoon
Network UK channel. However, a few phone-in shows such as Skatoony
Quizmas, Ready Steady Skatoony and Skatoony Truckatoony existed before
as a sort of continuity during school holidays. These phone-in shows
ended in 2005. The British version of Skatoony was filmed at MTV
Studios at Camden and in London with schoolchidren from around the
world auditioning as contestants.According to creator James Fox, the
process of producing a Skatoony episode was very complicated and
developed over all of the series.
