Cartoon Network is running a live-animation interactive quiz over Halloween. Skatoony Spooky invites kids to ring up and speak to animated quizmasters who will respond live on air. Created and produced in-house by director/animator James Fox, the show is billed as a cross between Las Vegas glitz and a US gameshow. The quiz, which airs from 27 October to 31 October, tops and tails ad breaks, encouraging children to stay tuned during breaks. Kaydara lip-synching technology will be used, employing a bank of mouth shapes and movements. Then the characters are 'puppeteered' in the transmission box via a PC keyboard.
