Rascal Raccoon, created by Brendan Hay and Justin Wagner, is set in the a place called Toonie Terrace, where good-natured Toonies rambunctiously and without fail outwit the Meanies, who are trying to do them in.

The project is intended to be a live-action/CGI hybrid.

A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas Opens Nationwide
A Very Harold and Kumar 3D Christmas”, directed by Ulterior principal Todd Strauss-Schulson, opens this weekend in theatre’s nationwide.
“…This third H&K movie may be the wittiest, and liveliest, one yet…. This one, directed by series newcomer Todd Strauss-Schulson, fuses misanthropy and sentimentality in hilariously off-kilter ways.”
—ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY/OWEN GLIEBERMAN
“The film’s director, Todd Strauss-Schulson, takes aggressive advantage of the 3-D format, sending all sorts of things shooting out at the audience: syrup, snow, streamers, a hat and lots of wacky-weed smoke….”
—NEW YORK TIMES CRITICS PICK
“Strauss-Schulson, directing his first feature, is never shy about going for the requisite excess — of either the franchise or the 3-D format — and the two aesthetics blend perfectly in one sequence that has plumes of cocaine falling like snow as Bing Crosby serenely croons “White Christmas. Strauss-Schulson doesn’t want the extra dimension to fade into the background as an afterthought; just as with the shameless showmen of 3-D’s original 1950s heyday, his vision of the medium is unabashedly in your face.”
