Matt Thompson (animator)
Matt Thompson is an American television producer, television writer, television director, and voice actor. Career Early work Matt Thompson, and his creative partner Adam Reed, started out at Cartoon Network doing various odd jobs until they came up with their own show, ''High Noon Toons'', in the mid-1990s. ''High Noon Toons'' was a 3-hour programming block of cartoons hosted by cowboy hand puppets Haas and Lil' Jo (a Bonanza pun). While working on this show, Matt and Adam were usually drunk and the two eventually got reprimanded for lighting one of the prop sets on fire. He has also voiced the character of "Talent Scout" on the series ''12 oz. Mouse.'' Production companies Thompson and Reed formed 70/30 Productions when they started work on Sealab 2021. The company's name came from the plan that Thompson would do 70% of the producing and 30% of the writing, with Reed doing the reverse. The pair became renowned for their work on a number of Adult Swim television project ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

''Sealab 2021'' is one of the four original Williams Street series that premiered in 2000 before Adult Swim officially launched, the others being '' Aqua Teen Hunger Force'', '' The Brak Show'', and '' Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law''. Much like Adult Swim's ''Space Ghost Coast to Coast'', the animation used stock footage from a 1970s Hanna-Barbera cartoon, in this case the short-lived, environmentally-themed ''Sealab 2020'', along with original animation. The show was a satirical parody of both the original ''Sealab'' series and the general conventions of the 1970s animated children's series. While there was initial re ...
