Fun Trivia Facts You Probably DON'T KNOW About the upcoming Disney XD Show: Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja (Subheader: Why it's easier to NOT hate Disney XD)

Here's some reasons why RANDY CUNNINGHAM will be WORTH WATCHING alongside Motorcity and Tron: Uprising. My new motto for Disney XD is "#XDLookForThePitchBlack" Heh heh : P

Tron and Motorcity have proven their metal as great, well made, innovative, and entertaining shows, and while Randy Cunningham is getting promoted, the current commercials don't do the show justice. Watch the OP on Youtube (which is now up) and you'll see what I mean.

Two of the most notable (and concealed for reasons unknown to me) aspects of the show (and this is a whopper of a tidbit) is that Randy Cunningham's character designs were provided by NONE OTHER THAN JHONEN VASQUEZ (as confirmed by Mindspill), which they are LOOSELY based on (clearly not intended as a ZIM clone, to the point of being unrecognizable for what they actually are!) I shit you NOT. 

And secondly, Jhonen isn't the only auteur contributing material to Randy Cunningham. The theme song animation sequence is quite awesome as well, and as I found out by reading Mindspill, Passion Pictures, the mastermind animation studio that's similar to Titmouse, or probably its Brit Equivalent (they animated every last one of the Gorillaz music videos Jamie Hewlett directed, INCLUDING "Clint Eastwood")

The things they don't tell you in commercials. Sheesh! LOL.

There, edited in some links for proof, for the skeptics in the audience.
