Introducing RetroNado!

RetroNado is an online media project studying the history of the animation business and its influence on contemporary creators, their cartoons and creative industry as a whole.

RetroNado, hosted by Jon Fox Wilson

This show was created from a passion for digging into information about the artists, actors, animators, directors and producers that helped create the cartoon shows and movies that are considered "nostalgic". This often requires us to rewatch animation we haven't seen in 10+ years!

There's nothing like the "wow" factor you get when you learn one of your favorite screen actors also played an obscure background character in your favorite cartoon or a showrunner whose cartoons you love started out as a storyboard artist on a whole other famous project.

[ If you'd like a taste of what to expect, click here to watch the pilot RetroNado episode about the Jumanji cartoon (yes, THAT Jumanji!) ]

RetroNado's coverage isn't limited to the U.S. and Canada! We research animation from all corners of the globe, including Japanese anime and French animation.

Watch us on Instagram, TikTok or YouTube to learn a ton about the ideas, concepts and people behind your favorite cartoon TV series and movies!
