US firm preps Worst animated series

The Worst characters include Robot Reaper: Robotic Harbinger of Death

Robot Chicken producer Stoopid Buddy Stoodios (SBS) is developing an animated series based on The Worst, a toy line of villainous characters.

SBS, which is also behind Netflix’s forthcoming stop-motion animated children’s series Buddy Thunderstruck, is working with the toy line’s producer Super7 to develop the series.

Characters set to feature include Black Falcon: Undead Warlord of Doom, Robot Reaper: Robotic Harbinger of Death, Batula: Bat Prince of Darkness and Snake Tut: Serpent God of Destruction.

“Being the nerds of nostalgia that we are, we were all-in as soon as we saw the art on the packaging for The Worst figures,” said SBS co-founder John Harvatine IV.

Family Guy voice actor Seth Green, Robot Chicken co-creator Matthew Senreich, Harvatine IV and Eric Towner set up the LA-based company, known for its distinctive stop-motion animation, in 2011.

It recently produced the animated series SuperMansion, featuring Breaking Bad star Bryan Cranston, for Sony-owned streaming service Crackle.
