These fun, great-looking characters collectively known as Funny Face actually started life as characters in promotion of a powdered drink mix. Funny Face was introduced by Pillsbury in 1964. Pillsbury shrewdly positioned Funny Face in two key areas. First, unlike Kool-Aid, its product was sugar-free and promoted as being dietary. Second, it did not rely on one icon like the Kool-Aid pitcher, but six unique characters, each fronting its own flavor. Recently, Jack Brady, Jr., the current owner of the property, along with partner Mike Lewis, decided that it was time for a Funny Face revival and teamed with Renegade Animation to bring this property to life as an animated series. Renegade, known for its emphasis on comedy, personality, character animation and its strong sense of design, saw the perfect confluence of elements with this property.

The Funny Face television series is aimed at kids from 6 to 11 and recalls the animation style and the spirit of classic, theatrical cartoons such as Tom & Jerry and Looney Tunes.
