‘Doug’ creator Jim Jinkins explains the meaning behind the characters’ different skin colors:
“I wanted all skin colors to be beautiful. The Doug universe is a parallel world where it doesn’t matter what color you are—it’s who you are on the inside that matters.”
Directors Joel Crawford & Januel Mercado hope ‘FORGOTTEN ISLAND’ can help remove the stigma that animated films are only for kids.
“It’s accessible for everybody but there’s a sophistication & an edgier feel to it that I think soon we could have mainstream PG-13 animated films.”
