I, too, am also a Spumco fan. Here are some things you may not have known:

Yes, Ren & Stimpy ARE coming back! This time, on TNN! Look for them sometime next year.

Did you know that Ralph Bakshi's animation studio was located next to Bagdassarian Studios, the same studios that gave us The Alvin Show and the lame 80s remake Alvin & the Chipmunks? This fact even influenced an episode of the New Mighty Mouse. John Krisfalusi said he always thought the 80s version was so odd b/c Dave finds these rodents on his doorstep and what does he do? He makes them sing! John K also thought it was weird that the main concern of the 80s version was for Alvin to get a date with a HUMAN girl!
Needless to say, it wasn't long b4 the Alvin & the Chipmunks was parodied in one of my favorite Mighty Mouse in which Dave Seville always has Cheerios in his mouth for some reason the rodents to sing, then sing backwards, or face dire consequences!

Did you know the same people who gave us the New Mighty Mouse also gave us the video for the Rolling Stones "Harlem Shuffle"?

Did you know that Ralph Bakshi offerred John Krisfalusi a job as an animator on the box-office bomb "Cool World," but John thankfully turned it down to work on Ren & Stimpy?

Did you know that Bakshi was only producer, and that John Krisfalusi was the one REALLY in charge?

Did you know that all of the animators actually HATED Mighty Mouse? They were constantly seeking ways to write out of the script and promote their OWN characters.

Did you know that Krisfalusi is incredibly hard to spell?

Did you know that I have a lot of spare time on my hands?

Favorite lines:
Bug Wonder (fighting evil villains): "Take this! Take that! Take this five dollars! Don't spend it all on comic books!"

Dave Seville: "SING!!!"
Chipmunks: "La la la la la la la!"
Dave Seville: "SING BACKWARDS!!!"
Chipmunks: "Al al al al al al al!"
