Production notes

A trial version of "Sidekick," consisting of five five-minute episodes, aired in 2005 as part of the "Funpak" omnibus series.

Young orphan Eric Needles lives in Sidekick, an animated world filled with superheroes and super villains. On the day Eric was to begin sidekicking for the greatest superhero of all time, Maxum Man, Maxum went missing- leaving this rookie with the task of making the world think that Maxum is still on the job. Since sidekicks aren't good enough to be superheroes, Eric and his second-stringer friends are always given the worst jobs, which mean they're going to be the first projectiles thrown.

This TV series is scheduled to run for 40 30-minute episodes, each consisting of two cartoons.
