Seth Green, his wife Clare Grant, Matthew Senreich, and special guest star Macaulay Culkin (!!) sat down at the panel, each clad in a ridiculous hat. We snagged a pic:
We think Culkin's rocking an Uglydoll, but unfortunately no fans asked to confirm this. No need--everyone was too jazzed by all the footage we were treated to. Not only a taste of Robot Chicken season 5, but also the next Star Wars installment, and the Christmas special. I furiously scribbled down notes on each, while trying to simultaneously watch the screen so I wouldn't miss a reference. Here's what you can expect this season:
Using stop motion, claymation and irreverent humor, Seth Green and Matthew Seinrech lambast pop culture and current events. Robot Chicken is a multi award-winning rapid-fire satire on pop culture that skewers TV, movies, music and celebrity. The show brings action figures and toys to life in three-dimensional worlds through the old-school magic of “stop-motion” animation.
Created by Seth Green and Matt Senreich, Robot Chicken is a festival of old-school stop motion animation and fast-paced satire. Action figures are used to great effect to spoof tv, movies, music and celebrities. From the twisted minds of Seth and Matt ,the idea came up when Matt Seinrech interviewed Seth Green for 'Toyfare' magazine. Matt had a regular feature titled 'Twisted Toyfare Theater' in which Seth was a fan and eventually the idea for Robot Chicken came about after Seth appeared on 'Late Night with Conan O'Brien'. The name for the show kept changing and changing due to copyright and legal reasons until eventually they came upon the dish ' Robot Chicken ' in a local Chinese restaurant. The dish was described as' Tender chunks of chicken breast fried in a light batter and cooked in a sweet and pungent sauce'. While Matt and Seth were working on the idea a Sony website heard about the idea and approached the two about creating an internet only series. In 2001 'Sweet J Presents' was launched. This eventually became 'Robot Chicken' , named precisely after the dish
