Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was part of a bizarre wave of early-2000s animated shows where hip-hop culture collided with sci-fi premises, most of which died screaming.
The $10 million budget for 13 episodes was astronomical for 2004 animation; it was canceled before finishing its run, leaving the cartridge quest unresolved forever.
