Agh why! Soup2Nuts, the animation studio behind the best show ever on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim, Home Movies (you’re free to disagree but also free to be wrong), and Comedy Central’s Dr Katz: Professional Therapist is closing!
More recently, the Boston-based studio has been producing Word Girl as part of Scholastic, but a “restructuring” of the parent company has spelled the end of Soup2Nuts. “We are realigning some of the operations from Scholastic Media,” said Kyle Good, senior vice president of corporate communications for Scholastic, when speaking to Boston Globe’s Betaboston. “We are restructuring that part of the business closer to our core businesses which are children’s publishing and education.”
The studio was founded by Tom Snyder in 1993 as Tom Snyder Productions, became Soup2Nuts in 1999, and was purchased by Scholastic in 2001. It will be remembered for its excellent comedy animation, literally holding the patent to Squigglevision, and for introducing us all to the human wonder that is H. Jon Benjamin. No? Just me?
