The show kicks off in October. It tells the true story of eight
characters, picked to live together in a house to find out what
happens when people stop being real and start getting animated.
On the show cartoon characters from various genres of animation
are brought together to live under one roof. The characters leave
their animated "reality" and enter a new world where their
cartoon universes collide with a bang. The show will combine different
styles of animation and different personalities all of which have
been Drawn Together.
The series has been drawn traditionally and in 2-D digital ink
and paint animation. The eight stars/ housemates represent iconic
archetypes from the world of animation. They include Captain Hero
a not-so-moral do-gooder reminiscent of the Saturday Morning US
TV super heroes of the 1970s. Then you have Clara, a 20-year-old
sweet and naive fairy-tale princess.
A character that sounds interesting is Spanky Ham a foul-mouthed
Internet download pig. Giving an Asian spin to the scenario is Ling-Ling
an Asian trading card mini-monster.
The characters, all with different lifestyles and personalities,
create alliances with some of their housemates. However, quite often
the fighting and backstabbing take center-stage. This skewers the
world of animation, and also parodies many cliches prevalent on
reality television.
Also, whenever the moment calls for a musical number, the characters
are prone to break into song. The songs too are spoofs from various
genres of animation (the emotional love song ballad, the girl-group
rock band, group sing-a-long), but with original lyrics.
