ABOUT

Good evening all, my name is Samuel B. Foster, the director of Mina and the Count Resurrected, and I would like to welcome you all to the official website for the upcoming non-profit project. For those who have just come across and don't know what the cartoon is about, I'll give a little brief history on the cartoon.

 

In 1995, Rob Renzetti (Creator of My Life as a Teenage Robot) and Frederator Studios (The company behind Adventure Time, Fairly Oddparents, My Life as a Teenage Robot, and many other cartoons) created a seven-and-a-half minute cartoon segment for Cartoon Network's What A Cartoon! Show called "Mina and the Count: Interlude with a Vampire" originally airing on November 5, 1995. The plot revolved around the titular Count, Vlad, waking up in the dead of the night to perform his nightly search for women when he accidentally stumbles upon the room of a seven-year-old girl named Mina Harper. As the Count attempts to leave the room, Mina unexpectedly for an unknown reason grows attached to the Count by hugging his leg pinning the Count to the ground. Eventually, after being dragged into many of Mina's girly activities and attempts to escape, the Count starts to enjoy spending time with Mina and thus a friendship is born. This short would later launch a small series of five more shorts after transferring to Nickelodeon's Oh Yeah! Cartoons and aired until 1999. 

 

All six shorts would gain a small cult following with many demanding for a full series to be made, but Fred Seibert, the president of Frederator Studios, would break the hearts of many by announcing that there are currently no plans to create a whole series based on the shorts. Rob Renzetti would go on to make the classic Nickelodeon show, My Life as a Teenage Robot, with Frederator Studios moving onto other projects leaving Mina and the Count in the shadows of obscurity and forgotten souls.

 

However, this is where I would come into play. After becoming accepted as a screenwriter/storyboard artist into two non-profit animated projects still in the making, My Life as a Teenage Robot: Rebooted and the Modifyers: Rebooted, an idea popped in my head after watching the entire Mina and the Count series, "If many want a full series on this, why not do it yourself?" So, with some thought coming in, I decided to bring a lost dream to life. But, the only problem is that I can't do everything on my own. So, I ask all from around the world to help and support this project. I currently require screenwriters/storyboard artists 2D/3D animators, voice actors, character/background designers, and music composers. With all of these necessary tools combined, we will show all that the smallest and unknown of minds can be something huge to the public. Dare to scare the Count?
