The Nudnik Show has a unique history, itself worthy of a Hollywood movie. The Nudnik cartoons were created in Prague in the 1960s as theatrical shorts for the U.S. market. They, along with the rest of the Rembrandt Films animation library, lay undiscovered in a New Jersey warehouse for 25 years before Adam Snyder, the son of the original producer, uncovered them in 1995. Snyder packaged the library into 13 half-hour episodes. Each episode begins with a Nudnik cartoon, followed by other cartoons from the Rembrandt Films library, including the Oscar-winning Munro, several cartoons based on classic children’s books, and Rembrandt’s Self-Help series. To tie everything together, Nudnik creator Gene Deitch created a new animated opening title sequence and 30-second links featuring new Nudnik gags.

The Nudnik Show has allowed an international audience the opportunity to enjoy one of the last undiscovered classic cartoon libraries. Distributed worldwide by TV Loonland, the series has aired in more than 20 territories!
