Revision as of 17:51, 9 October 2004
Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends is an animated television program by cartoonist Craig McCracken, who also created the wildly popular Powerpuff Girls. It premiered on Cartoon Network on Friday, 13th August, 2004 as a ninety-minute TV movie. Half-hour episodes began airing the following Friday and continue to do so.
In the world of Foster's Home, imaginary friends become real the instant a kid imagines them. Everyone can see them and can talk to them. However, kids still outgrow their friends sometimes, and when that happens, the friends don't disappear. That's why Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends was founded. This foster home was founded by the elderly Madame Foster to provide a home for abandoned imaginary friends; their motto is "Where good ideas are not forgotten." Children who cannot imagine their own imaginary friends can also adopt friends from Foster's Home.
In the premiere movie, we meet eight-year-old Mac and his imaginary friend Blooregard Q Kazoo, or Bloo out of the house. Mac's mother and his thirteen-year-old bullying brother think Mac is too old to have an imaginary friend and want the troublemaking Bloo out of the house, but Mac isn't ready to give Bloo up yet. Then Mac and Bloo hear about Foster's Home. Bloo is hesitant at first, but after visiting Foster's Home and meeting some new friends, he decides to stay. Normally the occupants of Foster's Home are eligible for adoption by other children, but after Madame Foster sees that Mac and Bloo are still best friends, she declares that Bloo may stay at Foster's without ever having to worry about being adopted. In return, all Mac has to do is visit every day. This is hardly a problem for Mac, who would rather spend his after-school time with his friends at Foster's Home than at home with the mean, ugly Terrence.
The show is produced entirely in-house in Macromedia Flash; unlike most traditionally animated shows, none of the animation is done overseas.
