CRITTERIFFIC DAYS CHAPTER ONE: PILOT!

A few days ago, I made a post asking whether you preferred Catnap was mute, or able to speak, in the Smiling Critters cartoon. And this story is why!

This is a Blue’s Clues style TV show created in 1996 by Playtime Co in a desperate attempt to salvage the company by rebooting the Smiling Critters and Nightmare Critters toy lines. They’ve had to take up partnerships with other companies in order to scrape by, such as Tsubaraya. It’s a live action animation hybrid in the same style as \*Blue’s Clues\*, with a live action host interacting with the Critters and going on adventures with them.

There’s more to this than meets the eye though, as the world of the Critters is alive. A digitally created world using advanced artificial intelligence and computer technology, some of the Critters (namely Dogday and Catnap) have portions of their Bigger Body memories thanks to the neural imaging technology that was used to help accelerate the construction of their AIs.

If the show doesn’t succeed, it’s game over! Can the Critters make the show as awesome as it can be? And what threats from the original factory threaten the show
