Pig Goat Banana Cricket - Official Theme Song - Nick

Pig Goat Banana Cricket (originally titled Pig Goat Banana Mantis) is an American animated television series and the thirty-seventh major Nicktoon that aired on Nickelodeon. The series was created by Dave Cooper and J. Ryan. David Sacks is served as the executive producer for the series. The show premiered on July 18, 2015. Pig Goat Banana Cricket was considered by many to be one of the worst Nicktoons of all-time, although it's pretty gross.

Synopsis[]

The show is about four friends who live in one tree house: Pig, a pig whose favorite food is pickles; Goat, a goat who wants to become a songwriter/singer; Banana, a walking, talking banana who's a park ranger; and Cricket, a cricket who's a scientist. The gang go on zany adventures, and when things go from crazy to crazier, there is only one pair of four friends to save their town: Pig Goat Banana Cricket!

Production[]

Pig Goat Banana Cricket was created by Dave Cooper and Johnny Ryan for Nickelodeon. The show is based on their comic from Nickelodeon Magazine published in 2004. Cooper and Ryan are both veteran comic book artists; the show was described as their first big endeavor for television, though the former had been used for his design work on Futurama.

Developed from Pig Goat Banana Mantis!, a pilot directed by the independent animator Nick Cross, the stories were described by Ryan as difficult to write, given their intertwined nature and the 11-minute running time. This process was smoothened by the running time being doubled and the direction from the network being clarified. The two had to adjust to the studio environment, and described their career in comics as preparing them for production. Jones, Milo, and Wilson are set to reprise their roles from the original short, with Mantis, who had been previously voiced by James Urbaniak, retooled as Cricket due to a character of the same name in Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness.

According to Candi Milo's Twitter page, the show has been renewed for a second season since the show's premiere.[2]
