==Production== ===Voicing=== The voice actors of the show ''Freakazoid!'' included various actors from other television series and films. [[Tress MacNeille]], [[Maurice LaMarche]], [[Jeff Bennett]], and [[Frank Welker]], who all provided voices in the series ''[[Animaniacs]]'', were on ''Freakazoid!''. Actors [[Ed Asner]], [[Ricardo Montalbán]], [[Larry Cedar]], [[Jonathan Harris]], and [[Stephen Furst]] also provided voices for the series. Also, writers [[John P. McCann]] and [[Paul Rugg]] (who played Freakazoid) added voices themselves. Casting for the show had been difficult for the ''Freakazoid!'' staff, as no lead character had been found even after extensive auditions.<ref name="Rugg">{{Cite news |last=Rogers |first=Brett |year=1996 |title=Freaking Out with Paul Rugg |url=http://members.aol.com/baltohoya/rugg.htm |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071104024703/http://members.aol.com/baltohoya/rugg.htm |archive-date=November 4, 2007 |access-date=June 29, 2007 |work=Animato! |issue=36}}</ref> Eventually, when writer Paul Rugg was brought to demonstrate the voice in a recording session, he ended up filling the role, as he said: "I went in there and did it. Then they played it for [[Steven Spielberg]] and he said 'Yep! Fine, sure, great,' and then I panicked ... and I had to do it."<ref name="Rugg" /> Rugg played the role of Freakazoid through the entire series run. ===Animation=== The animation was outsourced to Animal-ya, Studio Junio, and Tama Production in [[Japan]], [[TMS Entertainment|Seoul Movie]], [[Dong Yang Animation]], and [[CNK International|Koko Enterprises Ltd.]] in [[South Korea]]. ===Music=== <!--Adding a music section to this page would make the article more informative. Music was an integral part of this series. I suggest the following:-->The music for ''Freakazoid!'' was written by [[Richard Stone (composer)|Richard Stone]], Steve Bernstein, Julie Bernstein, [[Gordon Goodwin]], and Tim Kelly. Stone won a Daytime Emmy with lyricist (and senior producer) [[Tom Ruegger]] for the main title song in 1996.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Woo |first=Elaine |date=March 15, 2001 |title=Richard Stone; Won Emmys As Composer of Cartoon Music |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2001-mar-15-me-38004-story.html |access-date=May 5, 2022 |website=[[Los Angeles Times]] |language=en-US}}</ref> Julie Bernstein was nominated for a Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Original Song in 1998 for the song "Invisibo" from the episode "Freak-a-Panel".<ref>{{Cite book |last=Crump |first=William D. |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/1076805299 |title=Happy Holidays—Animated!: A Worldwide Encyclopedia of Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and New Year's Cartoons on Television and Film |date=2019 |isbn=978-1-4766-7293-9 |location=[[Jefferson, North Carolina]] |page=146 |oclc=1076805299}}</ref>
