KND STORYBOARD PAGES (season four part one)

Whaaaaaat?!

Season Four already?!

How is that

POSSIBLE?!

But don't worry.
There are still
TONS
of original storyboard pages
coming up.

But first we need
to talk about
storyboard artists.

Not Kim.
Not Maurice.
Not Matt.
and
Not Guy.
Enough about them!
Let's talk about their
ASSISTANTS!

Jesse Schmal
totally had
Kim's back!

Bob Suarez
rode shotgun for
Maurice Fontenot!

Abigail Nesbitt
put up with
Matt Peters'
incessant comic book
gabbing!

And
Quack Leard
was
Goose
to
Guy Moore's
Maverick.

It's their
sooper powers
that got these
storyboards
DONE
and they don't get enough credit for it.

So let's have a round of applause for them, please.


Thank you.

But enough about them
(for now)

Let's check out season four:

_________________________________________________

40A: Operation: FLUSH

Writer: Mo Willems

Storyboard: Maurice Fontenot

Fun Fact:

We always made it a point to have the 

evil adult sooper villains

act even more childish than the kids in the show.

Having them bickering in the Treehouse over

who gets whose room

is a perfect example of that kinda fun stuff.

40B: Operation: RABBIT

Writer: Mr. Warburton

Storyboard: Guy Moore

Fun Fact:

Some people say we could reconstruct

all three Indiana Jones movies using

scenes from KND.

I have no idea what they're talking about.

<snicker>

41A: FOODFITE

Writer: Mr. Warburton

Storyboard: Kim Arndt

(who posed the hell out of this board!)

Fun Fact:

I'm a big fan of the 

heavy metal mayhem of

GWAR

and was thrilled that they agreed to let

 us write new lyrics for two of their songs.

But there was a problem:

They couldn't find the master tapes for the songs I wanted!

So what'd they do?

THEY RE-RECORDED

THE SONGS!!!

I'm still mad at myself for not flying 

down to watch them record.

That would have

ROCKED!

Bonus Fun Fact:

Due to Gwar not being the most

kid appropriate band

we credited them as

RAWG

instead.

41B: Operation: CLUES

Writer: Mr. Warburton

Storyboard: Matt Peters

First appearance of

Numbuh Three's parents

GENKI and KANI SANBAN

Fun Fact:

Genki means 

good and/or healthy

in Japanese and

Kani means 

crab.

Bonus Fun Fact:

Having a guy named Santos

play Mushi was one of 

the best things we ever thought of:

42A: Operation: MACARONI

Writer: Mo Willems

Storyboard: Maurice Fontenot

First appearance of

NUMBUH 13

FUN FACT:

Mr. Willems was getting very frustrated with me.

I wasn't liking any of the episode ideas he was pitching me.

And I wasn't feeding him anything he could latch onto.

And our deadline was approaching!

But then,

out of the blue,

I said,

Macaroni Museum of Art

Mo slammed his hand on the table and shouted,

THERE IT IS!

and ran off to write this episode.

42B: Operation: NUGGET

Writer: Mo Willems

Storyboard: Guy Moore

Fun Fact:

Much like the previous episode,

all Mo had to say was,

CHICKEN NUGGET GOLD RUSH

And I happily chased him out of my office with a broom 

and told him to get writing.

Bonus Fun Fact:

I wanted to post the 

Chicken Nugget Song

but this is better:

43A: Operation: POOL (part 1)

Writer: Mo Willems

Storyboard: Kim Arndt

Fun Fact:

One of the things I vowed we would

NEVER

EVUH

EVER

do

was an

EVIL TWIN

episode.

Then we did an 

evil twin 

episode

and everyone

LOVED 

it.

People really like evil twin episodes.

43B: Operation: POOL (part 2)

Writer: Mo Willems

Storyboard: Matt Peters

Fun Fact:

Who knew the 

BURIED IN THE SAND

song from

Operation: BEACH

would get so many versions:

44A: Operation: CAKED-FOUR (part 1)

Writer: Mr. Warburton

Storyboard: Guy Moore

First appearance of

NICK and CHIP

Fun Fact:

Like Operation: SUPPORT,

this is one of those episodes that I'm 

sooper proud of writing.

The idea that 

Numbuh Two is such a hardcore tubing purist

that he won't upgrade his tube,

even in an anything-goes race,

still makes me smile.

So does

FARFIGTOOBIN.

44B: CAKED-FOUR (part 2)

Writer: Mr. Warburton

Storyboard: Maurice Fontenot

Fun Fact:

Cartoon Network asked us to tone down

Father's nasty verbal attack 

on Numbuh Two about his dad.

But were able to convince them

that it was important to the story

and they let it ride.

45A: Operation: SITTER

Writer: Mo Willems

Storyboard: Kim Arndt

Fun Fact:

This is one of my favorite

Mo Willems lines of all time:

_____________________________________________

45B: Operation: SATURN

Writer: Mo Willems

Storyboard: Matt Peters

Fun Fact:

We had dabbled in some teeny bits of 

computer animation here and there.

(ex: the opening of Operation: ARCHIVE)

But this was the first time we wanted to composite our 2D characters

 into scenes with hundreds of CGI Rainbow Monkeys.

As always,

the computer division of Curious Pictures

rose to the challenge and the show looks

gorgeous.

_____________________________________________

46A: Operation: CHOCOLATE

Writer: Mo Willems

Storyboard: Maurice Fontenot

Fun Fact:

Mr. Fontenot nailed all the scenes with Heinrich 

riding his wave of chocolate ala Ice Man.

He came from the world of comic books so

why wouldn't he, right?
