“You take the moon and you take the sun
You take everything that seems like fun”

Chowder is the new cartoon by CH Greenblatt that began airing on Cartoon Network this month. And it’s wonderful and awesome. And wonderfully awesome. It’s my favourite thing right now.

It’s about an apprentice chef, Chowder, who lives in Marzipan City. Food related hilarity ensues in two 10 minute servings per episode. It’s got a wonderful squidgy organic look to it’s movement and character expressions, and it uses that trick with static textures that Gankutsuou did. Only with a lot more restraint. And there’s puppets and stop motion too. It’s funny and charming in way I’ve not seen since Spongebob, and deserves the all success that show had.
