Global Tantrum

Background
Global Tantrum was a banner of Klasky Csupo that produced content aimed for mature audiences. It only produced 5 pilots, 1 series, and 6 Flash cartoons, 5 of which are currently lost.

(2003-2004)


Visuals: On a black background, a green planet is seen with a ring surrounding the bottom and "GLOBAL" arcing over the top. To the bottom right of it is the text "TANTRUM", in the same font but it gets wider at the end. The logo is very hard to make out for a second, with several shadows coming off of it. The logo then switches to a shiny cut surface with golds and blues in it, with the green shadows still appearing around it. After a bit, it switches back to the green before disappearing, leaving a few of the shadows behind.

Variant: An opening "presents" variant exists.

Technique: 2D animation.

Audio: A weird synth space tune with a robotic voice saying "Global Tantrum".

Availability: Only spotted at the end of the pilots Citizen Tony, Bench Pressly, You Animal, Stinky Pierre, Chuck Sweet, Bokowski, and the unaired Spike TV series Immigrants, which was turned into a movie in 2008. It was also seen on a print of the 1996 short Bird in the Window.
