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?

Dang girl!
That's some good
storyboard!

Seriously.
Our storyboard team could
NOT
be beat.

Check back next week for
part deux
