The Incredible World of Riddles

The Incredible World of Riddles is a Kuboian animated television series created by Ashley Maverick, and the first series to be produced by Kubokartoonz (now called GeneBox Animation). Targeted towards young children, the show is set in a fictional fantasy-orientated planet, Riddle World. It is the first official animated series to be produced in Kuboia.

The show has a total of two series, aired in 1991 and 1994, both consisting of thirteen 17-minute episodes. The first series focuses on four children, who have never met each other before, who must work together to save the mayor of Riddle World, Mr. Riddles, who has been kidnapped by a unknown figure. The second series, meanwhile, focuses on the adventures the children have after saving Mr. Riddles. Episodes of series 1 were premiered on Vision Network on Sunday evenings, whilst series 2 episodes premiered on Nickelodeon Kuboia on Saturday mornings. The series was aired on around the world during the 1990s and 2000s.

The Incredible World of Riddles has had a large impact on Kuboian culture. It is often credited for setting the staples for Kuboian animation, and is the first ever television series to be labelled as a Kantasy series, which has since became the most popular genre/style of animation in the country. Due to its influence, the series continues to be enjoyed worldwide by people of all ages, despite being targeted towards a younger audience.

Production
Ashley Maverick created the premise and characters for The Incredible World of Riddles in 1986. She would often spend several hours each other drawing up designs and animating characters performing different actions in order to get the hang of producing cartoons. After co-founding Kubokartoonz in early 1989, The Incredible World of Riddles was the first series to be pitched.

Ashley Maverick chose to base the show around a fantasy setting because she considered making a cartoon based in a realistic setting to be boring.

Animation
All of the show's characters, backgrounds and objects were drawn and animated by Ashley Maverick. She insisted that the show should run at a minimum of eight frames per second, as she wanted to avoid spending too much time and money on too many frames, but also did not want the animation to appear sloppy or unprofessional.

In The Incredible World of Riddles, the human characters are drawn without noses, ears or eyebrows, and their eyes consist of only round black pupils, completely lacking a limbus and sclera. Ashley Maverick has stated that this was done to make drawing and animating the characters easier. This has since became a staple of Kantasy shows.
