Thugs On Film is an American-British adult-animated web series that ran from 1999 until 2001. The show was created by Dan Todd and produced by Mondo Media as part of their Mondo Mini Shows lineup.

Overview

The show revolves around 2 film critics named Cecil and Stubby, who review recent and iconic movies at the time. Cecil is the smart, nervous and serious one, who likes a good movie and Stubby is more rambunctious and has a more immature style of humour than Cecil does. The 2 make jokes about the movies they review regardless if they hate it or not, at the end of every episode, they rate the movie with Rolexes instead of the usual 5-star method. The show would also have a trivia quiz at the end of the episodes about the movie they reviewed. Cecil and Stubby end off each episode turning the lights off in their abandoned warehouse and hold up a "The End" sign and there would be comedic dialogue between the 2.

History

The show would be first teased in 1998, and have a set release date for January of 1999, but would be pushed back to May instead with their first episode being about Star Wars, every episode would be released on a Sunday. The show would receive critical acclaim online and would be added to new websites, most notably the BBC America website (Where it aired on the channel from around 2000-2001), the Washington Post website, Reel.com (which sponsored them for a while), AltaVista, IMDb and Netscape.

Mondo Media would hire animators from different companies from their area to work on the show, most notably Curious Pictures, Wild Brain and (Colossal) Pictures. They would also hire animators from around the globe like Paul Boyd from Bardel Entertainment, A.K.A. Cartoon and Natterjack Animation, Alan Lau the co-founder of Ghostbot and even entire companies like Slinky Pictures and Honeycomb Animation.

The show would receive a second season in 2001, changing the logo, lighting, scenery, theme song and changing the intro and credit sequences. The second season would have less episodes than the first one and end with the episode Ghosts of Mars in August of that year.

Later in 2007, the show would air as part of Mondo Mini Shows Classics in the Philippines on a channel called Maxx TV. Around this time, Mondo Media would get a YouTube channel and starting posted some Thugs On Film episodes on the platform.
