Katbot

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Disney's Katbot was to be a comedy series based on the character Katbot and website created by Angela Martini for Funny Garbage. Katbot is described as a curious, somewhat naïve, fun-loving cat-robot (secret agent) from the planet Katatonia, who, as part of her schooling is sent to Earth to study preteen culture. By using her hypno-façade, she disguises herself as Katerina Botenski, a foreign exchange student from a small Eastern European country she also calls Katatonia. The only person who knows her secret is her best friend Junior Lebore, the son of her host family. Through her friendships with an eclectic group of earthlings, Katbot experiences life on Earth with a unique and comic perspective.

Terri Stoner (Tiny Toon Adventures), Bart Jennett (Disney's Recess) and John Carlin were to serve as executive producers. Kristin Ellington was to be a co-executive producer and Randy Myers (The Powerpuff Girls, My Life as a Teenage Robot) was to be the director. The series was to star Anneliese van der Pol (Disney Channel's That's So Raven) as Katbot, Charlie Schlatter (Ferris Bueller television series) as Junior Lebore and Mayim Bialik ("Blossom") as Paula. As of June 8, 2005, Disney's Katbot has been cancelled. It is unknown as to whether or not a pilot of Disney's Katbot was ever fully produced or if it will ever see the light of day.
