From 1993 to 1994, Kricfalusi contributed several articles for the magazines Film Threat and Wild Cartoon Kingdom under various aliases.

The DVDs also feature several special features including interviews / documentaries of the people behind the cartoons such as Friz Freleng, Bob Clampett, Tex Avery, Robert McKimson, Chuck Jones, musical conductor Carl Stalling, and voice-artist Mel Blanc, pencil tests, and audio commentaries by animation historians Jerry Beck, Michael Barrier, and Greg Ford, as well as current animators Paul Dini, Eric Goldberg, and John Kricfalusi.

He is joined by, among others, a drunk cat with the red nose, gray fur, big lips, and saggy jowls who was popular enough to appear in several later cartoons such as in the Rolling Stones music video Harlem Shuffle ( with art by Ralph Bakshi and John Kricfalusi ); in a few episodes of Tiny Toon Adventures ; an episode of The Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries ; and among the many cats in Tweety's High-Flying Adventure.

Later, Kricfalusi produced more animated projects with Flash including several online shorts for Icebox. com, television commercials, and a music video.

While an article about the series in Amazing Heroes # 129 made it appear like Bakshi was the director of the show, Kricfalusi clarified that Bakshi was the producer, and that Bakshi's creative involvement was the highest during the first several weeks of the production, after which he stood out of the way and let the team go about its business.

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.

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

Syd Iwanter, the Creative Director of TMS productions came up with the concept and hired Kricfalusi to draw a one sheet pitch featuring the main characters for a proposed HIGH SCHOOL 2525.

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.

Kricfalusi had volunteered to give Nickelodeon executives an informative background of cartoonists using storyboards for storytelling in animated cartoons, rather than a script.

Coffey agreed with Kricfalusi that, " If storyboards were good enough for Bugs Bunny, they were good enough for her.

According to Kricfalusi, the episodes continued production since he did a " trade " with Coffey, which would be the exchange of having " really crazy " episodes for some " heart-warming " episodes.

Bill Wray, a production artist for the show, stated, " On some occasions Kricfalusi completed an episode in eight months.

Kricfalusi confirmed that the primary reason for the Nickelodeon executives ' decision, seemed to be due to the level of violence in the show.

Kricfalusi made remarks specifically to the episode " Man's Best Friend ", which features Ren beating the character George Liquor with an oar, which may be the cause for his firing.

According to Wray, Kricfalusi believed, " very step after the storyboards weakens the process ", and that he " fought for the integrity of the storyboards ", and lengthened production time because he wished to salvage the quality of the series.

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.

As early as a 1987 story session for the Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures, Kricfalusi had proposed using a wad of gum as a character, an idea which was used to create the first villain for the new series, Indigestible Wad.

Kricfalusi and his long-time partner Jim Smith created the Ripping Friends before they created the similar superhero Powdered Toast Man for The Ren & Stimpy Show.

Also, as early as a 1987 story session for the Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures, Kricfalusi had proposed using a wad of gum as a character, an idea which was employed to create the first villain for the new series, the Indigestible Wad.

Gray was working for Filmation at the time, and soon Kricfalusi found work there as well.

From 1979 to the mid 1980s, Kricfalusi worked for Filmation and later Hanna-Barbera on various shows which he once described as " the worst animation of all time.

Under Bakshi, Kricfalusi directed the animation for The Rolling Stones ' 1986 music video " Harlem Shuffle ".

Kricfalusi left Bakshi's studio to work on The New Adventures of Beany and Cecil for ABC, where he teamed up with many of the people who would later work with him on The Ren & Stimpy Show.

It was a huge springboard for many cartoonists and animators who would later become famous, including John Kricfalusi ( creator of The Ren and Stimpy Show ), Bruce W. Timm ( producer of Batman: The Animated Series ), Jim Reardon ( writer for Tiny Toon Adventures, Wall-E and director of many Simpsons episodes ), Tom Minton ( writer and producer for many Warner Bros. television cartoons, including Tiny Toons, Animaniacs, The Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries, Baby Looney Tunes and Duck Dodgers ), Lynne Naylor ( co-founder of Spümcø, character designer for Batman: The Animated Series and storyboard artist for The Powerpuff Girls and Cow and Chicken among other work ), Rich Moore ( animation director for The Simpsons and Futurama ), Andrew Stanton ( director of Finding Nemo and Wall-E ) and others.

Kricfalusi's interest in Golden Age animation crystallized during his stay at Sheridan College, where an acquaintance of his held weekly screenings of old films and cartoons, among them the cartoons of Bob Clampett and Tex Avery, which left a deep impression on Kricfalusi.

Kricfalusi and many other Spümcø animators worked for Donovan Cook's 2 Stupid Dogs during this period as well.

Kricfalusi served as art director for a musical segment in the show Class of 3000 entitled Life Without Music, which first aired on November 3, 2006.

On February 13, 2006, Kricfalusi started his own weblog, John K Stuff, posting about cartoons and the animation industry.

Kricfalusi produced seven new cartoons aimed at adult audiences.

The network officially canceled Adult Party Cartoon around November 2004 ( Kricfalusi shut down his studio in Canada shortly thereafter following a lawsuit by Carbunkle filed against Spümcø in the Canadian court system ), but in 2005, Kricfalusi announced that all of the Adult Party Cartoon cartoons were coming to DVD, and that the possibility exists for new The Ren & Stimpy Show episodes to be produced off the back of successful sales.

In addition to missing deadlines for Nickelodeon and making too many controversial cartoons, Kricfalusi said that the episode " Man's Best Friend " was the episode of The Ren & Stimpy Show that got him and the Spumco staff fired from the series.

The music video for " I Miss You " was animated and directed by John Kricfalusi of Spümcø, best known for the Ren & Stimpy cartoons, which Björk admired.

Kricfalusi described Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures as the origin of "‘ Creator-Driven ’ revolution " and that he hired artists " dissatisfied with the formula cartoons they were forced to work on at other studios ," and as a " witty, satirical and wildly imaginative " series and " quite a revolution when compared to the cartoons being made everywhere else.

The music video for " I Miss You " was animated and directed by John Kricfalusi of Spümcø, best known for the Ren & Stimpy cartoons, which Björk admired.

Kricfalusi directed eight of the twenty-six episodes and supervised the series.

In 2003, Spike TV produced a new show featuring Ren & Stimpy, which was written and directed by Kricfalusi.

That year, Kricfalusi directed two music videos, and served as art director for an animated musical segment.

This incarnation of the show was produced and directed by John Kricfalusi, who would later create The Ren and Stimpy Show, and made use of voices from Billy West, who also did voices for Ren and Stimpy.

The Ren & Stimpy Show was a cartoon series that Kricfalusi created, sold to the channel Nickelodeon, and directed at his studio, Spümcø.
