Production
In 1989, Robert Stainton created two characters, Big Guy and Dr. Benson, which would later become Little Guy and Dr. Beanson, the series was first pitched to Hanna-Barbera, who rejected it because they thought it was "too stupid" of an idea for them. Robert later pitched the series to DiC Entertainment (who rejected it due to Andy Heyward finding the idea "more fit for a indie comic book"), Ruby-Spears (who rejected it due to Robert being absent due to an appendix operation), CineGroupe (who rejected it due to Robert having difficulty understanding some of the staff through their Quebecois accents), Walt Disney Television (who rejected it due to it being "screwed-up" and "creepy"), and Cosgrove Hall Films (who rejected it due to being "too American of an idea"). In 1990, Big Guy and Dr. Benson's names were changed to Little Guy and Dr. Beanson. In 1993, CINAR made an agreement with Robert and James Clayton to fund the series, it was pitched to Fox for their Fox Kids Network block shortly afterwards, who greenlit it, the pilot episode, produced at Chicago commercial animation firm Jeepney Films, was aired in select markets on Saturday, October 29, 1994 at 10/9c. However, the first episode wouldn't air until Sunday, August 13, 1995 at 10/9c. Seasons 2 and 3 were already in development, with Season 4 being on the drawing board.
