Shockwave.com has announced that they have signed Trey Parker and Matt
Stone, the creators of SOUTH PARK, to concoct 39 new works. The new shows
will first air on shockwave.com beginning in March. Stone and Parker's new
disfunctional toons will range from 2 to 5 minutes and could be one-off
shorts or pieces of an on-going series. In the L.A. Times on December 8,
1999, Stone was quoted as saying that "the real allure of [the deal] is
that we get to create another TV series but on a much smaller scale. We
have so many ideas that havn't fit in SOUTH PARK." The duo of demented
humor will retain off-line right, just in case their new brain childs make
a wave. This provision allows them the rights to pursue traditional
television and movie deals bases on their newly created work. In
combination with the new Parker and Stone deal and their teaming with Stan
Lee Media, Inc., Shockwave.com has increased their potential in becoming
the first place people want to visit when checking out the ever-growing
world of Internet animation.
