Total Drama Island

The most unreal reality show on TV!

(26 x 1/2 hours for tweens)

Fresh Animation considered jumping on the reality TV bandwagon. We thought about coming up with a hot new concept, searching for the funniest, most insane, and confrontational people around, then turning the cameras on them and hoping they showed their true colours.

But then we had an even better thought: why not just animate the darn thing and write it all ourselves? Welcome to TOTAL DRAMA ISLAND, an animated spoof on reality series for tweens that takes reality to a whole new level by removing the “real” part.

We began by putting 22 completely different teens together, each one evoking the most memorable scoundrels, whiners, psychos and players seen on reality TV. These are kids who wouldn't even acknowledge one another in the halls at school, and now they find themselves stuck at a crappy summer camp together 24/7. Tensions are high, crushes are inevitable - it's going to be a looooong summer.

From the cheesy, camera-loving host to the outrageous, jaw dropping moments tweens have come to expect and love... all your favorite reality TV icons and moments are here. The difference? We've scripted them for maximum drama and comedy! You'd have to shoot hundreds of hours of real people to get just a few of these great moments! Like the gigantic bikini brawl that erupts on the beach after Leshawna discovers a passionate love letter that Heather sent to her man.

At Camp Wawanakwa, anything is possible. Why? Because we wrote it that way. The lodge suddenly seats 20,000 screaming fans for the talent contest. The lake is mysteriously infested with sharks for the “open water” challenge. And sure, Duncan could just spread gossip about Jeff... but isn't it more fun if he threatens to unleash a booby trap full of snakes on his bed unless he swears his allegiance? And we'll have cameras capturing every moment - in the lodge, the cabins, the canoes - even places the characters don't know about. You name it, we've mic'd it. The cameras are rolling and all bets are off!

Total Drama Island takes a camped-up swipe at the convention of “reality TV” and turns the comedy up by eliminating any element of reality whatsoever. Tune in for the most unreal reality show on television!
