Disney Sets Greenlight And Release Date For The Paloni Show - Halloween Special! Slated For October 17th On Hulu,Disney+ International and Star+.
20th Television Animation has created a brand new holiday special, called “The Paloni Show! Halloween Special!,” which has been created by “Solar Opposites” and “Rick And Morty” co.creator Justin Roiland. In 2009,Justin pitched an animated comedy to Fox that was a mix of family high jinks and screwball variety acts. The result was The Paloni Family Comedy Show, an off-the-rails pilot presentation that didn’t make the cut for Fox’s Animation Domination. however Disney has given The Paloni Family a second chance for the 2020s for the world of streaming.
In this special, Leroy, Reggie, and Cheruce Paloni have been given the opportunity of a lifetime to be the hosts of an unforgettable Halloween Special full of “spooky” shorts from a group of up-and-coming animators.
The special stars Roiland, Zach Hadel, Pamela Adlon, Vatche Panos, and Karl Wahlgren and features tons of guest animator shorts,
Justin Roiland voices Leroy, the oldest sibling in the family, Leroy is an optimistic, hard-working guy who’s only dream for as long as he can remember has been to make and host his own variety show. He and his brother Reggie are very close and are usually on the same page creatively.
Smiling Friends Co-Creator Zach Hadel plays Reggie, the short-fused, fast-talking little brother of the family with a foul mouth and a tendency to let his temper get in the way of doing his job as a host, Pamela Adlon plays Cheruce, the alienated middle child who has her own ideas for how the special should have gone. She’s bitter and holds a grudge against her brothers for not embracing her ideas.
Rounding out the main cast are Vatche Panos, who voices Little Long Legs, the Paloni’s long-legged young cousin who seems to care only about candy and having fun; and Kari Wahlgren, who voices Aunt Stephanie, the Paloni’s selfish and gullible aunt who feels that motherhood has robbed her of her best years.
