Adventures of MYCUN

Adventures of MYCUN is an American computer-animated crossover television comedy spun off from the MYCUN films created by Geo G. and Taylor Grodin. The show officially premiered on Fox on September 28, 2008. All of the cast from the films reprised their roles in the show. In other countries, in addition to Fox, it airs on some other channels such as NBC, Disney XD, etc.

In March 2014, Fox cancelled Adventures of MYCUN after six seasons, manly do to Geo wanting to continue production on Gabriel and the Wacky Pack 2, as well as returning as a showrunner for Geo TV. The series ended on May 18, 2014. All seasons were released on DVD and Blu-ray by Geo LTD. Home Entertainment via 20th Century Fox and are also available on iTunes, the Windows Store, Xbox Live Marketplace, PlayStation Network and Netflix.

On May 11, 2014, Elijah Wood, who voices Gabriel Garza, stated that he was unaware of any plans for season eight. However, the following month, Geo G., the creator of the show, stated that the show would be revived in late 2014, starting with "MYCUN Reunion", which aired on September 28, 2014.

On May 17, 2019, Fox announced that Adventures of MYCUN had been renewed for seasons 12 and 13.

Plot
Like the MYCUN series, Adventures of MYCUN features the adventures of the MYCUNs — Gabriel Garza, Red Puckett, the Minions, Gru, Hiro Hamada, Norman Babcock, Caesar, Blue Eyes, Maurice, Rocket, Toon Link, Ico, Yorda, Coraline Jones, Agatha Prenderghast, Bernard Bear, Victor Van Dort, Victoria Everglot, Emily the Corpse Bride, Jak, Daxter, Luca, and other apes (such as chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans), set in a fictional city, called MYCUN City. But their life there is occasionally interrupted by attacks from Koba, and his henchmen (including Dr. Drakken and Shego), so Gabriel must occasionally team up with the MYCUNs to stop their plans. And all this happens during their daily life.

Production
In September 2005, Geo G. had plans of creating a television series based on MYCUN: The Movie. In June 2006, Geo announced that Fox had ordered a pilot for a MYCUN television series. According to Geo, the series will air after the release of the sequel. Nothing was confirmed on what the series would be about until March 2007.

At first, in March 2007, it was announced that Nitrogen Studios Canada would handle the rest of the CG animation, pre-production, and post-production, in Vancouver. Since then, the Adventures of MYCUN premiere was delayed to fall 2008. It was most likely delayed to make room for the release of Legend of MYCUN on February 1, 2008.

On September 28, 2008, Fox aired the first episode "Welcome Back" at 9:30 pm ET/PT. The Double DVD Pack edition of Legend of MYCUN released on November 30, 2008 included an unaired episode of the show called "Need for Joey Speece."

Fox debut
Adventures of MYCUN aired on Fox on Sunday September 28, 2008. From seasons 1 to 4, Nitrogen Studios worked on the animation for the show and since season 5, Arc Productions took over the animation until season 10. Starting with the season 10 episode "Every Ape Has Its Day", the animation is provided by Splash Entertainment and Blur Studio. Both Cartoon Network and Universal Studios were planning on a 13 episode second season, but the episode number got changed to 30.
