Captain Carrot is something nutty that I can see James Gunn trying to cram into a future DC project. Just obscure and out there enough for him to jump on it as a series or something. :)

Scott Shaw! (Zoo Crew co-creator) has been hoping for a Captain Carrot cartoon for ages, but it never happened, perhaps because of his royalties deal on the characters. However, when a CC action figure came out a few years ago, DC and McFarlane Toys "forgot" to pay him any royalties. The fact that they gave his character a whole different look made him less happy, too.

But a traditional CC/Zoo Crew cartoon would be awesome.

I'd definitely love to see a Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew! animated project, someday. I'd even love to work on one (although it seems that I often can't objectively 'enjoy' anything I've actually worked on).

It was a blast to draw those characters, last month. :mrgreen:

I, too, was disappointed with the McFarlane Toys 'Captain Carrot' action figure. Maybe I should create a CG sculpt that's a better likeness for Scott Shaw!'s character design.

The Zoo Crew did get featured in a Robot Chicken sketch, some years back. :lol:

I love what I have seen of Robot Chicken…but have seen so woefully little of it! :(
