Storyline

Rudy Tabootie's (Elizabeth Daily's) a regular kid with a very special possession: a magical piece of chalk that lets him enter ChalkZone, a world beyond the chalkboard. In ChalkZone, anything that's ever been doodled and erased comes to life. If Rudy draws a horse, he has himself a ride. But if he draws a monster, he has a big problem. Luckily, with the help of his sidekick Snap (Candi Milo) and his best friend, Penny Sanchez (Hynden Walch), Rudy's a pro at drawing his way out of trouble when they're on an adventure. And in ChalkZone, adventure takes on a whole new dimension.

Trivia

Rudy Tabootie was originally eight-years-old in the first two Oh Yeah! Cartoons. When plans for a television series based on the shorts came around during production of the second season of Oh Yeah! Cartoons (1998), Nickelodeon executives insisted the creators age Rudy up to two years and to add a female protagonist, who became Penny Sanchez.

User Reviews

I Love This Cartoon More Than I Used To

I liked this show a little growing up, but I liked Rugrats better. At that time, I thought that this cartoon might be set in the '50s because Rudy and Penny looked and acted like '50s kids. Now, I'm 13 and I still think that. I love this cartoon more than I did growing up and without a doubt, this is my favorite cartoon of all time. This cartoon has the greatest animation I have ever seen! They also couldn't have picked better voice actors! Rudy is voiced by E.G. Daily, who also voices Tommy from Rugrats and Buttercup from Powerpuff Girls. Penny is voiced by Hynden Walch, who would later voice Starfire from Teen Titans and Princess Bubblegum from Adventure Time. This Nickelodeon cartoon, along with CatDog and Danny Phantom, has a very catchy theme song! This is a very short lived series that had 40 episodes over 4 seasons and ran from 2002 until 2008. I hope that Nickelodeon can produce new episodes with the original creators, writers, and cast. Bill Burnett and Larry Huber are the greatest cartoonists of all time and E.G. Daily and Hynden Walch are the greatest voice actors of all time!
