“These characters are an odd contradiction for the cartoon world, maybe because they’re kids like all kids are. They have a naïve point of view of the world, yet they’re complex enough to assimilate all that they’re going through. And all of this occurs at that awkward time of life when they want to be regarded as more than a kid, and embrace the grown-up world. They’re trying to make their transition from cute to cool, even though they don’t really have their own opinions about what cool is. One of the strengths of the show is pointing out that these kids are heavily influenced by pop culture, and not all pop culture is positive. It’s about individuals realizing that their own opinions are actually more important than any opinions forced upon them.” - Steve Lyons (The Weekenders director)
