Were thrilled to add the cult classic, REN & STIMPY, to our air, said Keith Dawkins, vp/gm, Nicktoons. The show is timeless because it combines great style, great humor and a truckload of attitude. We're excited about bringing this original Nicktoon back to our audience. REN & STIMPY represents the type of bold, experimental, creator-driven animation that Nicktoons and our Nicktoons studio is all about.
