We've got an early Cartoon Hangover Shot for you this week! And this one is very different then our usual upload. This week we're joined by longtime network member @EIEANIMATIONS who decided to pitch us an entire episode instead of just a short! When we started Shots we never enviisoned something like this happening with it so when Dewald presented us with the opportunity to help share his cartoon with the world we had to jump at it! Make sure to check out Virtually Impossible live on Cartoon Hangover right now!
Cartoon Hangover: Introduce yourself to our community! How long have you been an artist/animator and how long have you been making content for YouTube?
Dewald: Hi there, my name is Dewald de la Rey and I’m a 26 year old animator, writer and director from Cape Town, South Africa.
I’m also the owner and head producer over at E.I.E ANIMATIONS, a YouTube channel with 220,000 subscribers and almost 60 million views, where we upload primarily animated horror parodies.
I’ve been creating content on YouTube for over 10 years now and even though it’s been extremely stressful, I’ve loved every single minute of it. I’m hoping that this show will be the start of my next chapter as a creator on the platform.
Cartoon Hangover: Tell us about your show? What's the pitch for people who maybe aren't familiar with your work?
Dewald: Yung Beathoven is a virtual musician that lives in Metatropolis.
Along with his trusty robotic best friend “Brobot”, the two friends set out on a mission to save enough credits so that Yung B can be smuggled out of the virtual realm and follow his dreams of becoming a viral musician in the real world.Through battling an evil french pigeon squad to befriending an irresponsible party bear and trying to get the love of his life, Tiger Lily, to notice him, watch as Yung Beathoven and Brobot get into tricky, weird and often questionable situations, all in an attempt to follow a dream.
Cartoon Hangover: There's a lot of different things going on in Virtually Impossible. What are you drawing inspiration from when you're creating something so eclectic and out there?
Dewald: I’ve always had a huge adoration for film and tv with my main passion being 2D animation! Growing up with shows like Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Courage The Cowardly Dog, Ed, Edd and Edd etc, I really wanted my show to have that nostalgic element while also drawing inspiration from modern shows & movies like Scott Pilgrim vs The World, Adventure Time, Family Guy, Phineas & Ferb, Fanboy & ChumChum, Zach Stone is Going To Be Famous, Regular Show etc.
I pretty much wanted the show to be a perfect culmination of all my inspirations, drawing from all my favorite aspects to create something unique, slightly cheesy, modern and feel good.
Cartoon Hangover: Where can people find more of your work?
Dewald: You can find me on all social media platforms.
