Intertropolis & Routeville is an American upcoming animated television series created by Jordan Cassatt and Kimberly Blanding. It is set to premiere on January 4, 2021 on Nickelodeon. It is produced and distributed by Blanding Cassatt Original Television, a subsidiary of Blanding Cassatt and the series is slated to be moved to Blanding Cassatt's own kids' television network, Sintopia, which both those companies are set to be launched in 2022.

The series is about the roads and highways that includes Interstate Highways, U.S. Highways, State Highways, and County Roads and is revolved around two main characters named Interstate 48 and U.S. Route 86 who lives in a big metropolis called Highway City, which contains twin cities called Intertropolis, Nevada for the Interstates, and Routeville, Utah for the U.S. Routes. The twin cities are separated by a curveless toll highway called Town Separator, treated as a state border between Utah and Nevada.

Synopsis

Two main characters Interstate 48 and U.S. Route 86 lives in Highway City, a metropolis where Intertropolis and Routeville are bordered to each other in Nevada and Utah. They enjoy their times around the metro as they try different things and activities. They also have to deal with the citizens' behavior and crimes no matter what it takes to live in Intertropolis and Routeville. As they drive on the road and on expressways, they have to follow all the traffic rules and laws in order to stay safe and avoid traffic accidents.

Plot

Interstate 48 (I-48) and her best boyfriend U.S. Route 86 (US 86) are in a fictional city called Ooscondio, located in the south central Pacific Coast of California. It is a city for California State Route Shields, not quite their species for Interstate Shields and U.S. Route Shields. They live in a crazy neighborhood full of Californian highway shields who are treating I-48 and US 86 that this is not a city for U.S. Route Shields and Interstate Shields. So I-48 and US 86 find a real estate magazine, an ad on the internet, and a commercial on television showing a city of Highway City, a fictional big city in the Utah/Nevada state line that contains two fictional twin cities called Intertropolis in Nevada for the Interstate Shields, and Routeville in Utah for the U.S. Route Shields. They decide to move there to have a good, joyful, peaceful life.

The next day, they went to the bank to get their whole cash from their savings account. US 86 thinks about taking a flight to Highway City, but I-48 doesn't want to leave her beloved sports car behind. So I-48 drives off with US 86 and getting ready to leave Ooscondio and heading to Highway City. They take on to Interstate 48, a fictional Interstate Highway in the southwestern United States that starts from Ooscondio, California to Santa Fe, New Mexico, and it also takes them to Highway City (Intertropolis, Nevada and Routeville, Utah). US 86 suggests I-48 that if there's a traffic jam on the Interstate, she bests exit on to U.S. Route 86, a fictional U.S. Route that does the same to Interstate 48. Like I-48, it starts from Ooscondio, California. Unlike I-48, US 86 ends to Colorado Springs. Like I-48, it does go to Highway City (Intertropolis, Nevada and Routeville, Utah). U.S. Route 86 runs parallel to Interstate 48, mostly to its south, and it also has interchanges to it. I-48 realizes that she don't have to drive on US 86 because I-48 has an HOV (High Occupancy Vehicle) lane in the metro limits of Highway City.

It took six hours to get to Highway City without traffic jams, but they made it there. They exit off I-48 onto US 86 so they don't get caught in traffic because they know that I-48 is a busy highway because of its 16 lanes. I-48 and US 86 are looking for a decent hotel around the metropolis they saw in the real estate book to stay in until they can find a new home they want to rent.

Production

Early development

Around the summer of 2015, when Jordan Cassatt created Blanding Cassatt as his personal social media stage name and private web company during his high school years, before July 2015, he made a personal debut image of his series in the title of Interstate vs. U.S. Route. After July 2015, Cassatt retitled it to Intertropolis and Roadville. In September 2015, after all the retitling of the series, he thought about them not good names. So, he thought of a creative idea of a greater title of Intertropolis & Routeville, which will be the show's official title.

Development

Jordan Cassatt, creator of Intertropolis & Routeville, is currently writing a screenplay script for his show's pilot episode set for Nickelodeon to premiere in September 2020. After that, he will write three other screenplays for his show's 5-minute shorts, which are followed by a script for the official season one premiere of Intertropolis & Routeville called "Move to Highway City", set to premiere in Jacksonville, Florida in December 2020 and air on Nickelodeon in January 4, 2021.

In October 2020, Cassatt is creating a storyboard inside his house with the help of Kimberly Blanding.

Nickelodeon to Sintopia

Jordan Cassatt and Kimberly Blanding started releasing their first animated series for Nickelodeon on January 4, 2021 with the episode "Move to Highway City" before they can start their own mass media company Blanding Cassatt, which started in 2022. The first season of Intertropolis & Routeville ended on September 27, 2021 with a half-hour crossover episode called "Interstate Loud" as a crossover between Sintopia's Intertropolis & Routeville and Nickelodeon's The Loud House.

Title term

The name of the series - and the two main cities - comes from the name that Jordan Cassatt come up with. Such as "Intertropolis" comes from the word "Interstate" and "Routeville" comes from the word "Route", as well as the road series name "U.S. Route". The series was originally named "Interstate vs. U.S. Route" back in 2015 when Jordan Cassatt come up with the name. Then he thought that it is not a good title for the series. So he decide to call it and come up with a better and a more creative title which is "Intertropolis & Routeville".

Reception

Intertropolis & Routeville is the first series created by Jordan Cassatt with his wife and partner Kimberly Blanding and the very first ever television series to air on Sintopia. It also received positive reviews from critics and companies, perhaps because of its animation, cartoon design, humorous effects, road and freeway designs, cartoon reality, and is the most highly original television show for children on television. No other popular animated series has a main focus about the series of roads and freeways. It also became one of the top animated TV series on Nickelodeon, with The Loud House and SpongeBob SquarePants. It is also one of three Nickelodeon shows to be on two TV channels. The Loud House and its spin-off series The Casagrandes premiered on Sintopia with the permission from Nickelodeon and its owner ViacomCBS.
