Ultracity 6060

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

UltraCity 6060 was an animated short produced by Mike Bandolik and Dave Hughes, directed by Mike de Seve (a.k.a. Mike DeSeve) and written by Ben Gruber. It was shown occasionally on MTV's teen/adult-themed cartoon variety show Cartoon Sushi. It consisted of anime scenes that were dubbed with humorously incorrect dialogue for comedic reasons.

Most of the anime used was taken from the OAV series Genocyber which is released by U.S. Manga Corps. Another U.S. Manga Corps title was used for another UltraCity episode starred Iria in a parody of her own anime Iria: Zeiram the Animation.

For the episode "Planet Jackson", footage from ADV Films' Mighty Space Miners was used. The young boy in the film was made to be Michael Jackson and the rest of the cast as the Jackson family, Quincy Jones, Donny Osmond, Andrew Jackson and other people looking for handouts.

The only non-anime cartoon used in UltraCity was from Cartoon Network's "Cartoons That Never Made It" produced by Amperio-Lux. One of them was Fast Driver, an obvious Speed Racer parody poking fun at everything.

Other shorts featured two news reporters talking about the maintsream use of profanity in society (the irony of course was that they sweared very frequently), as well as a man named Hirogani, who was having problems trying to stop his severe flatulence around people (taken from Genocyber). Another short was when they announced that their "animation budget has been completely concealed by excessive robot battles", which made them make lip-synching banned (a remake of a scene from the first Mobile Police Patlabor movie).
