According to Thad Komorowski, the studio had a hostile working environment comparable to that of Spümcø, not paying employees well, and its output was subpar, with John Kricfalusi's high standards demotivating the studio; it backed out after animating six episodes, despite Kricfalusi's approval of their work.
