Production[]
Despite the success of Calvin and Hobbes the Animated Cartoon Adventures, Bill Watterson hated the series, and said to The Hollywood Reporter, "Cartoon Network has disrespected my values about what I think the series should be. They just wanted to make what they wanted to make, and that is not OK with me." Watterson demanded the series be rebooted, and then Calvin and Hobbes:The Movie premiered, with another series pitch from Nickelodeon. Watterson accepted as long as the cast from the movie returned, the series was live action, and new characters were to be played by A-List celebrities. Some rock music icons appeared throughout the show, such as Mark Hoppus from blink-182 as Jack, Ozzy Osbourne from Black Sabbath as Retro, Tyson Ritter from The All-American Rejects as Principal Spittle, and Jack White from The White Stripes and Rivers Cuomo from Weezer voiced Calvin's monsters. Weezer also did the main theme for the show, while The White Stripes contributed the closing theme.
