A number of memorable animated videos were produced during the heyday of MTV, including " Take on Me " by a-ha ; " Sledgehammer " by Peter Gabriel ; " Money for Nothing " by Dire Straits ; and " The Harlem Shuffle " by The Rolling Stones ( the animated sequences in this video were directed by Ralph Bakshi and John Kricfalusi ).

In 1985, he teamed up with young Canadian-born-and-raised animator John Kricfalusi to make a hybrid live-action / animated music video for The Rolling Stones ' The Harlem Shuffle, which was released in early 1986.

The series ' creator, John Kricfalusi — a Ralph Bakshi protege — was largely influenced by the classic works of Bob Clampett.

Bakshi and John Kricfalusi inspired the staff to try to get as much Jim Tyer-style drawing in the show as possible.

John Kricfalusi, best known as the creator of The Ren & Stimpy Show, got to know Clampett in his later years and has reflected on those times as inspirational.

John Kricfalusi:

Ren & Stimpy's creator, John Kricfalusi, was credited to adding " tidbits of poor taste " to the three " Little Red Riding Hood " episodes, and a few other Spümcø artists also contributed to selected episodes during the course of the show.

John Kricfalusi was a character designer for the show and went on to create Ren and Stimpy and The Ripping Friends.

Spümcø co-founder and then-president John Kricfalusi sold The Ren & Stimpy Show to Nickelodeon in 1988, which became Spümcø's first original animated series production.

Prior to the founding of Spümcø, two animators, John Kricfalusi and Lynne Naylor, would spend their time attempting to sell original cartoon ideas throughout the 1980s, while working for various animation studios like Filmation.

After only a few months of the founding of Spümcø, John Kricfalusi decided to fly to Nickelodeon's headquarters in New York, where he would pitch five ideas for cartoons.

Because Nickelodeon had no original cartoon material prior to the hiring of John Kricfalusi, the company was unaware of the basic process of an animated cartoon.

Nickelodeon fired John Kricfalusi in 1992, and Nickelodeon moved production from Spümcø to Games Animation.

In 1997, John Kricfalusi directed a music video for Björk titled " I Miss You ", a single that was released the same year.

During 1997, John Kricfalusi and his staff at Spümcø launched their Web site, whose goal was to provide cartoons for audiences, without the censorship of television networks.

" When asked about the style of the cartoon series, creator John Kricfalusi made the following statement:

After Nickelodeon fired John Kricfalusi from The Ren and Stimpy Show in September 1992, he had plans to make a feature film starring the world's " manliest men ".

During 2002, after The Ripping Friends had been cancelled, John Kricfalusi received a phone call from the cable network TNN ( now Spike ).
