Antonio and Mr. Wacky Fox

Antonio and Mr. Wacky Fox is an American animated television series created by Everett Peck that premiered on Skyscore on November 15, 2019. The series centers on the titular deadpan duo --- 16-year old boy Antonio Anderson, and anthropomorphic fox Brian "Wacky" Fox --- living together in the fictional town of Daystreet.

The series was pitched to Skyscore in 2016 as a three-minute short film entered in the annual Animated Shorts Program. It entered production the following year. Since its debut, the series has gained high ratings, becoming one of Skyscore's highest-rated and top-rated series of all time. As of November 2022, four seasons of the series have been broadcast, along with a renewal for a fifth season. The series has spawned a multimedia franchise, with a feature film based on the series set for release on Peacock in 2023.

 * Antonio Anderson (voiced by Charlie Tahan), a socially silent 16-year old boy whom Brian Fox lives with. He conveys little to no emotion, and has a sense of cynicism and sarcasm albeit evened out by his sense of mystery and wonder.
 * Brian "Wacky" Fox (voiced by Tom Hiddleston), a self-conscious, gentle, subtle, wise-cracking British anthropomorphic fox who shows slightly more emotion than his friend Antonio. He wears a yellow polka-dotted jacket, a purple bow tie, and a yellow bowler hat.

Setting
The series takes place in a fictitious city in Arizona, which is Daystreet. It is possibly based on Tucson.

Development
Everett Peck, creator of Duckman and Squirrel Boy, first conceptualized his idea for Antonio and Mr. Wacky Fox in 2011. When he joined as writer for some episodes of Jim-George for NightHouse, Peck said he hoped to do the show when his two-year writing stint on Jim-George ended. While Peck was writing some episodes for the revival of Sean Santos, he pitched his series to Skyscore in 2016 as a three-minute short for their annual Animated Shorts Program. According to executive producer Timothy Winbush, he stated that this was one of the best pilots they ever done.

In July 2017, Skyscore announced that Antonio and Mr. Wacky Fox had been picked up for a season of 20 episodes. The episode order was later increased to 42. On October 13, 2019, Skyscore announced that the series had been picked up for a second season of 25 episodes later increased to 38. On August 9, 2020, the series had been picked up for a third season of 39 episodes.

Episodes are produced at Skyscore Animation in North Hollywood, USA and animated by Rough Draft Korea and Saerom Animation in Seoul, South Korea.
