This was our attempt at a (mostly) silent episode - which is a really hard thing to do on a TV budget and schedule. Luckily everyone rose to the occasion. Scott Kreamer wrote a great script. Artist Sean Szeles added hilarious gags and did an amazing board. Boulder did the best TV animation of the year. And Composer Shawn Patterson did some of his finest work as well.
Inspired by the greates motion picture of all time, Jean Claude VanDamme's Bloodsport, The Good the Bad And El Tigre is one ofd my favorites.
We had originally wanted all El Tigre episodes to be half an hour long. After the pilot we knew that the kind of stories Jorge wanted to tell would be difficult to tell in 11 minutes. With 30, we could tell an epic story, had lots of action and relax the pacing to let the jokes breathe. The Good The Bad And El Tigre gives you a pretty good look at what we had in mind.
I had a feeling that the episode with the super sexy super hero lady would get some extra love from the fellas on the crew - both at home and in Ireland... And I was right! Everyone did an amazing job on this episode, from Sean Szeles' board, through Boulder's animation, up to Shawn Patterson's music. All top notch!
