		The concept behind this new GameCube 'toon-based Skateboarder is that Spumco is holding auditions for a new show called Hypergrind, and you're attempting to land the lead role by performing a variety of implausibly deranged stunts.
		With 12 characters to choose from, each with a different array of moves, and a familiar control system to Tony Hawk's, what sets Go Go apart from the competition is the comedy angle.
		While humour is very tricky to get right in videogames, the cel-shaded characters have all been put together by Spumco's whacked-out team of designers, lending them at this early stage a style and charm that many titles struggle to reach.

	DVD Times - The Ren & Stimpy Show: Seasons Three and a Half-ish
		With Kricfalusi and his studio, Spumco, out of the picture, Nickelodeon set about establishing its own studio, Games Animation, which continued to produce the show until mid-1995, when it was finally cancelled after both its quality and viewing figures had plummeted like an anvil in a Road Runner cartoon.
		Indeed, a number of old Spumco concepts were still lying around during the third season, and by and large they tend to result in the strongest episodes, showing that even the sloppiest execution can't quite mask the quality of the ideas.
		Not being as familiar with these episodes as I am with the Spumco cartoons, I am unable to confirm exactly which ones have been cut, but I did notice that the bumper cartoon that was supposed to follow the episode Lair of the Lummox was missing.

	Animation Sites: Some Stellar Attractions by Michelle Klein-Häss
		Spumco did some pretty amazing stuff with limited, TV-style animation when they helmed Ren and Stimpy, and they are continuing that tradition.
		It also seems to be up to Spumco's sponsors, as the episodes usually end with a pitch from an advertiser.
		On the opposite coast from Spumco's Hollywood digs is BerksAlive, an on-line cultural cyberzine from the Berkshire Valley in Pennsylvania.

	The Ripping Friends: The World's Manliest Men On GameVortex.com
		Spumco, the creators of the Ren and Stimpy phenomenon, have finally come up with a new idea.
		A sort of mock jazz/mock action musical score streams throughout the game, which has no effect on the actual game, other than to remind you that these guys are supposed to seem silly and unreal.
		People who enjoy the Spumco phenomenon might all get some use out of this game, but monotony and aggravation could push gamers away from this title towards better-designed action games.

	GAF - Review - Go! Go! Hypergrind (GameCube)
		SPUMCO starts with their tongue placed firmly in cheek as they lay out the “Toon World” story step-up.
		They are not “required” conquerings (you don’t have to finish first or in the top three) but each showdown counts toward your overall score and adds cash to your pocket to buy upgrades for your skater that improves their abilities.
		For instance, Piggy Sue (or, as I like to call her, Tonya Hog: Pro Porker) is an overweight sow whose showing a lot of tail (of the corkscrew pig variety) and WAY too much crack (of the plumber variety).

	Planet GameCube News Article: Go! Go! Hypergrind Now Available
		Hypergrind is being developed by the newly-formed Team Poponchi at Atlus Japan in conjunction with Spumco, the creators of The Ren & Stimpy Show and The Ripping Friends.
		SPUMCO, the real world animation company responsible for the hit cartoon series, The Ren & Stimpy Show, is holding auditions for an upcoming action feature called "Hypergrind", in which the main character will be an animated skateboarder capable of performing crazy and humorous tricks.
		As the character of your choice, you'll enroll in SPUMCO's newly founded stunt school, where you'll compete against other outrageous characters while pulling off insane fantasy tricks and performing extreme "Negative Reactions" on the game's 8 massive themed movie sets.

	Year In, Year Out
		We all know that John Kricfalusi and Spumco did much to pioneer this development but I believe that the possibilities were first revealed by early fans of South Park, who found that they could up-and-download entire episodes of the series on to the Web.
		Spumco has already struck again, making a deal with Harvey Entertainment Co. to resurrect their stable of comic book and cartoon favorites (many of which were first animated at Paramount-Famous).
		Speaking of Harvey and Spumco, I predict that another hot trend will be the revival and resurrection of older cartoons, with radical revisions of others thrown in.

		Spumco always had its premieres (both season 1 and 2) in mid-August (a whole __month or two earlier__ than Games!!).
		The origin of the motto "The Danes call it quality" is in the fact that Spumco originally shared an office building with a recording studio called Quality Sound.
		Spumco now uses Quality Sound's recording room and has in its possession some archaic sound equipment formerly owned by the studio.

	TVShowsOnDVD.com - Review for Ren and Stimpy Show, The - The 1st And 2nd Seasons
		John Kricfalusi grabbed some friends and co-workers and started Spumco when he became sick of the way cartoons were made at the large studios.
		Nickelodeon realized Spumco and John K knew what they were doing, but they still hated the new stories.
		Tensions between the network and Spumco built, and in September, 1991, John K and Spumco were fired from the show they created.

	Ripping Friends, The (2001) - Review By DAILY-REVIEWS.COM (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		In the meantime, John K’s production company, Spumco, stuck mostly to web cartoons, occasionally venturing out to make a video for equally iconoclastic artists like Bjork or a couple of parody shorts of the "Jetsons" and "Yogi Bear" for Cartoon Network.
		Of course, the images of missiles and bombs in the cartoon were enough to get it pulled from the air after September 11, but compared to Spumco’s glory days, “The Infernal Wedding” does not have the edge.
		After all, the Spumco website is currently missing (presumably for retooling), there are promises of new "Ren and Stimpy" shorts and perhaps a "Ripping Friends" feature, and the Spumco team is still cranking out glimpses of brilliant work, like their “Ranger Smith” cartoons and their recent Tenacious D video.

		This’ an unusual cartoon even for John K., and his character development instincts are in place whether or not Spumco did it all the way.
		As Spumco is wont to do there are sudden cuts to various parts of someone's body (usually Ralph's) engaging in sudden animations that make hidden corners of their anatomy do unexpected things.
		It seems to be an advance for Spumco, if only because of the visuals they pulled off, and yet it lacks variety for such a length.

	Johnk
		Most people are familiar with his work on ‘The New Adventures of Mighty mouse’ in the late 80’s and of course, ‘The Ren and Stimpy Show’.
		At Spumco.com, you can watch the daily talking comic strips of the ever-lovable redneck, George Liquor (who, incidentally, was intended to be Ren and Stimpy’s owner in the original series) and George’s web cartoons, featuring his buddy, the slobbering Jimmy the Idiot, among others.
		We are going to develop new animation software to improve the quality of what you can do with cartoons, because the software that exists now is pretty primitive.

		In one of the new cartoons, a sequel named "Untamed World 2: Lair Of The Lummox" may prove the name to be "Untamed World." In an ironic twist, the episode aired as "Lair of the Lummox." Stimpy has appeared in a bumper called "Geezer Hunting" for Untamed World as well.

	Discussion: Specific acting/ expressions/ poses in animation - www.ezboard.com
		I've seen a lot of anger from the Disney side and a lot of defense from the Spumco side, but very little discussion of the actual points that John raises in the interviews.
		The way we analyze acting here at Spumco is to take a scene, and still frame through it, looking for distinct expressions.
		If you would like to see what John is talking about, take one of John's scenes and take a Disney scene with a similar theme and break out the distinctly individual expressions that make up the continuum of acting and see what you come up with.

		Worth attributes this to the fact that the Spumco connection to Tower provides viewers with free shipping should they make a purchase.
		Worth adds that Spumco and Tower also offer viewers the digital equivalent of a cereal prize.

	About Icebox
		The Spumco site will still house editorial content, but there will be no animation on the site.
		Kricfalusi became a pioneer of the online cartoon genre with his Spumco site, where he led in exploring the possibilities of uncensored animation, of advertising as part of cartoons, and in cartoon interstitial ads.
		The truth is that given how little bandwidth most users have, animation is one of the only really workable moving image entertainment forms on the Net, a fact which everyone from DEN to Oxygen to Joe Cartoon have recognized.
