ChalkZone is an American animated television series created by Bill Burnett and Larry Huber for Nickelodeon.

He soon makes friends with Snap (Candi Milo), a short, blue, humanoid drawing made by Rudy when he was eight years old.

[5] Despite this, ChalkZone did not make it to the air until 2002, as the initial 13 green-light episodes were shortened to 6 due to executive reasons, all which were completed by 2000.

[6] The show's air-date was up for debate until the lack of new programming and America's critical situation at the time led the decision to air the series in 2002.

A well-liked rumor about the show is that it was based on Simon in the Land of Chalk Drawings (which Nickelodeon aired in the early 1980s as part of Pinwheel).

The final season featured new character designs with a slimmer line quality and a zooming chalk transition as new artists and overseas studios were used for the remainder of the series.

[8] Bill Burnett's original idea for the concepts' score was something in akin to simplistic children's toy instrument melodies to fit the show's children's "chalk-drawing" theme, but the Nickelodeon crew suggested a more techno rock-based score to give the show a huge contrast from the premise.

ChalkZone reruns aired on NickSplat (then known as "The Splat") for two nights only on November 12 and 13, 2016, as part of a block that ran every weekend from August until December commemorating the 25th anniversary of the Nicktoons franchise.

Three episodes ("Gift Adrift", "French Fry Falls", and "Eschucha Mi Corazon") were released for the Nickstravaganza!

Joly Herman of Common Sense Media rated the series 3 out of 5 stars, saying, "What makes this show interesting is that it acknowledges that worlds of imagination are available to all of us.

"[13] Lana Berkowitz from The Houston Chronicle wrote, "There are flashes of fun in [ChalkZone], the action moves along, and there's no violence.

Berkowitz further added, "After a clever setup, Chalkzone settles into a predictable zone with stories that could easily be erased from memory.
