Kick Buttowski: Suburban Daredevil (often referred to as simply Kick Buttowski) is an Emmy Nominated animated television series created by animator Sandro Corsaro, about a young boy named Clarence "Kick" Buttowski (Charlie Schlatter), who aspires to become the world's greatest daredevil. It became the fourth Disney XD original series and the first such animated series. The show premiered on February 13, 2010, with two episodes airing the first day. Also the series premiered on Disney Channel Asia on May 28, 2010[1] There are two 11-minute segments per show. The show uses Toon Boom Animation software. There are also some 3D-animated elements. The series is executive-produced and directed by Chris Savino.[1] and Sandro Corsaro.[1] Many of the characters and situations were based on the Corsaro's childhood growing up in Stoneham, Massachusetts.[1]
Kick Buttowski: Suburban Daredevil was in production up on December 19, 2008. The original name was Kid Knievel at the time.[2] The title was changed to Kick Buttowski as of April 4, 2009.[3] In early December 2009, it was announced that the series would premiere on February 13, 2010,[1] exactly one year after the launch of Disney XD, and the premiere of its first original series, Aaron Stone. The series's stunt coordinator is Robbie Knievel, the son of Evel Knievel.
Corsaro has stated that he was thinking about his own childhood when he drew the character in 2002 and subsequently began developing the idea for a TV series. Kick was originally named Kid Knievel, and was slightly different from the original vision of himself. He was much smaller.Creator's Official Facebook Page for Kick Buttowski fans was launched.
The pilot was written and developed by Devin Bunje and Nick Stanton, who eventually left the project to work on another Disney XD series, Zeke and Luther. The pilot was later split into the first two episodes of the series, "Dead Man's Drop" and "Stumped".
Kick Buttowski: Suburban Daredevil was originally set to air on fall of 2009, but Disney announced it would air in February 2010. The show debuted on Disney XD on February 13, 2010[1] at 8:30 a.m. ET. Sneak peeks and promos were shown on Disney XD, DisneyXD.com and Disney Channel.[5] The series is to air every Saturday morning at 8:30 a.m. ET according to Disney XD.
On April 2, 2010, the series first aired on Disney Channel as a special presentation with the episode, "Obsession: For Kick / Flush and Release" as part of the "Get Animated" marathon. Another presentation was shown on Disney Channel on May 22, 2010 featuring three episodes. On June 18, 2011, Kick Buttowski was moved to an off and on spot on Disney Channel with its incorporation into Toonin' Saturdays, Disney Channel's new Saturday morning cartoon block.
The show aired its final episodes on December 2, 2012.
The pilot episode "Dead Man's Drop/Stumped", was watched by 842,000 viewers, the second highest rated series premiere in Disney XD's history.[6] The second episode, "If Books Could Kill/There Will Be Nachos" was watched by 972,000 viewers.[7]
"Our big challenge was finding a voice for the character that can sustain a lot of stories, through numerous episodes,” explains Coleman. “We want to look at the characters far beyond a TV show, as a new character in the canon of Disney characters and find the right balance between comedy and action. One of the things that we are excited about is the fact that it’s a total brand fit for us. It’s a great companion piece for our hit show Phineas and Ferb—and has some of the same underlying themes of friendship and determination."
