Regarding TV cartoon scripts

I realise that to come barging into a forum and start immediately posting new threads is often viewed with scorn. I can only hope that this introduction goes some way to avoiding any minus points against me.

The upshot is, I am currently pitching a TV cartoon (one of many in an ongoing battle to reintroduce humour and fun for funs sake into kids TV) and was looking to find some like minded people on here. I do write myself but realise my limitations so far as construction and restraint go. Please check out this link to get a hint of the project....

If anyone could point me in the right direction, or ideally dig this sufficiently to want in then i would appreciate it hugely.

I am not soliciting work for free. We do have script writers on staff. I am just looking elsewhere indepently with a view to improving our options. However talk of cash is jumping the gun some what at this stage. I simply need recommendations of avenues to explore.

As a style guide i would suggest similar shows are
-Rocky and bullwinkle
-Roger ramjett
-danger mouse
-dudley doright

these are guidelines and not written in stone by any means

Thanks for your time.

Thanks for the replies. I understand what you mean entirely.

As a further explanation as to our situation try this

For my part i come up with the imaginative aspects and leave the sales to our sales fellows. i understand that it isn't clear at all as to what is what in the blog post I linked to (hence my mentions or cartoons of a similar ilk for a better understanding). The fact is we didn't intend that to be it's purpose rather it is a look at the art we have made... not at all 'look how wacky we are'.. that would really be an unfortunate impression to leave... in my opinion. Simply, it has been under wraps for so long and these few pictures are the first airing of anything we have since the concept has reached a more solid form.

So far as the advice on the content targeting specific demographics I also understand and appreciate your pointers. That said it is our intension to reach for something along the lines of fun for funs sake. No moral messages, no setting it in a school 'beacuse children go to school and will therefore identify with that'. We plan to whole heartedly go at something that is not dictated by the slots available or that fits the mould of something comptemporary. I know full well the difficulty of having a show commisioned what with the costs being ever whittled away and as a consequence the quality becoming less in both scripts and artwork. That said I of course realise a certain compromise is inevitable. However it is easier to sell a show that is already finished than throw out a premise and expect the largely unimaginative execs to fill in the blanks. {takes a breath} This approach we are attempting I am aware aware is not the way others and for that matter we use when pitching, it is a 'build it and they will come' scenario.
I would like to avoid any debate on hows, whys or 'what are you thinking?' as I hope the above makes the position clear in that respect. If it fails then we know we were wrong and we shall regroup outside the castle grounds and plan the next attack.

Bottom line being we aim to create something funny with good art and innovative animation... if you see the trade mags etc from the animation world these days (3D charmless gubbins and general clones of last weeks hit) you will realise how big of a hill there is to climb. We believe we have the resources for the art to also take on the writing is beyond us from the point of view of constraints on my time and my writing limitations.

Bit of a mouthful... hope that clarifies things a little

yep, I aim to build a relationship with like minded individuals who write scripts. I am asking that they contact me via private messaging.
Any other advice is obviously welcome

But unless you can confidently answer that question - What's the demographic? - during your 3-minute pitch to a jaded network program buyer at MIPCOM or NATPE or Banff or any of the other TV trade fairs, you will have a hard time being heard.

Yes i hear you loud and clear my friend. It is a neccesary evil, yes jaded execs, yes demographics... yes yes yes I am far from new to this world of pain believe me. i do find it very distasteful and would more likely punch a lawyer turned childrens televison commisioner in the throat that answer their 'what's the angle' questions, that is why we have other people to swap nonsense with them... as to it being nonsense, that is just my opinion of course. As i said i wish to avoid debates as to how this isn't the right way to go about things.I have had that for the last two years. So far as right now i am looking to develop some rapport with script writers with a view to making a 7 minute pilot show.

The shows iin a similar vein are- Rocky and Bullwinkle, Roger Ramjet, Dangermouse.

Cheers again

Hello again, just a note to say i am nearly finished on a two minute animated teaser of the show I am working towards pitching. I will post a link when it is ready. It should give a better idea of the direction I am after.

Thanks for the replies and the private messages I have had and i apologise for the length of time it is taking.

Thanks
