The Happy Tree Friends Writer's Questions and Answers Topic

Since the show writers Kenn Navarro, Ken Pontac and Warren Graff are active on this site, they'll be here to answer your questions. Warren answers questions in this discussion and Kenn (and other mods at this site) answers questions on his comment wall.

The Rules: Be patient, the writers of HTF may take a while to answer your questions because they're busy people. Don't answer any questions yourself and keep discussions about the questions and/or answers to a minimum. Keep in mind that the writers can not take ideas from fans due to legal reasons.

Don't ask questions about merchandise or release dates for episodes, it's out of Warren's, Kenn's and Ken's jurisdiction. If you have questions about the site, ask Cliff Malloy or Z.

My questions.

1. Why are the HTF characters so fragile?
2. I was looking through the older questions, and i read that HTF people just appear O3O. So why do they have..... Ummm.... Yeah, Like In baking me crazy, Lumpy's "part" was showing. So how do they come into the world?
3. In Take a Hike, Petunia drank dirty water. Why does she if she has OCD? (Obsessive compulsion disorder)

1. I don't know if I would call them fragile. They don't always break easily, they just break often.

2. Same as this world...the stork.

3. She had heat stroke. Actually, to be honest, we might have written that one before we installed the OCD. We didn't really implement the OCD until the middle of the TV season, so everything before that might be different.

Hey, I have a couple of questions for you, Warren.

1) That animated music video with Fall Out Boy was awesome. Is there any chance of another one of these videos in the future?

2) Have you guys thought of animating yourselves into the show?

Other than that, I have to thank you all for a very good show.
Keep up the good work.

1. No, I don't think so. There are none on the horizon.

2. That idea has never come up, and I dont' think we ever will. We have talked about inserting videos of ourselves explaining jokes or gags in the show. Sometimes we come up with jokes that we know nobody will understand, and we always say, "Well, that's when a video of me will pop up and explain the joke." We laugh about it in the meetings...but for some reason, now, I feel like I need a video to pop up and explain the explanation I just wrote.

Thanks! We're glad you enjoy the show.

Oh, I've noticed now that I've forgotten the question mark on the question 3...and a question:
4)For the other stuff (like Ka-Pow's Episode, Smoochies,Kringles,Love Bites etc...)will you make a sneak peek,or what?
Thanks in advance (again)....

4) I don't know. Kenn puts those together, so I guess if he feels like he has something to share then he will. Kenn likes to share so I'm sure he'll figure out something.

Hey hey!
A friend and I are going to be collaborating on making fan-made HTF shorts. To fully recreate the beautiful brutal bloodiness of the actual show,is there any place we could get hold of some of the real show's background music?

I have no idea. But if you are recreating the beautiful bloodiness of it, you should just recreate the music as well.

I'm not sure they approve of fan made shorts, Veri...

As long as they're different I think. Honestly I don't know what the rules are. I'm pretty sure mash ups are OK, but if you copy it exactly, that's trouble. Don't take my advice though, I'm not a lawyer. If Mondo sues you, it's not my fault.

Hi, me again :'D

I was watching all the episodes again and now I have this question...

How come Sniffles (and Petunia) always dies the most gruesome/painful deaths? Any reason or is it just fun to torture Sniffles? :'D

I don't know. We don't plan it that way. I guess they are just lucky.

What I mean is making animations on our own,we weren't intending to try and make money or anything off of it...would you prefer we use fanmade characters as well,or are you okay with using the original HTF chars?

I don't care either way, but I'm not the one with the lawyers. I honestly don't know what can get you sued and what can't so I'm really hesitant to say. If it was me, I would stick to fan made characters, but I'm safe like that.
