What if D Tor Productions was founded in 1940/Dereck Torres Animation Television in 1985?/The Loud House

The Loud House is an American-Canadian animated slice-of-life sitcom created by Chris Savino for D Tor Channel, based on the One Boy and Ten Girls shorts from the Derecktoons franchise.

The series officially premiered on May 1, 1998. It has received worldwide critical acclaim since its premiere and gained enormous popularity (behind Mao Mao and DuckTales) by its second season. A feature film, The Loud House Movie, released in theaters on August 20, 2004. The movie served as the series finale for the show. The series also aired on DToons, CLN (Saturday Morning), and Guitar Kids. As of July 30, 2020, all prior seasons of the show are available on EzekielTorres Now.

The show was produced by Chris Savino Productions, Cyan Jetpack Television Animation, and Dereck Torres Animation Television.

On February 14, 2018, it was announced that a Loud House spin-off was in development as well as a Loud House revival. It is titled Lincoln's Clubhouse, will focus on Lincoln and his friends interacting with the preschool audience, and will be animated using computer animation.

Premise
In the fictional town of Royal Woods, Michigan, the series follows the misadventures of the Loud Siblings, eleven sibings with distinctive personalities: bossy eldest child Lori; idiotic and happy-go-lucky Leni; musician Luna; comedian Luan; athletic Lynn; comic fanboy Lincoln; gloomy and demonic goth Lucy; polar-opposite twins Lana and Lola; child genius Lisa, and baby Lily. Lincoln occasionally breaks the fourth wall to explain to viewers the chaotic conditions and sibling relationships of the household, and continually devises plans to make life in the house better.

Development
The Loud House was created by Chris Savino for D Tor Channel. Savino based the series on the "One Boy and Ten Girls" shorts from the Derecktoons franchise and his own experiences growing up in a large family. Early in development, the Loud family was going to be composed of rabbits, but this was terminated when an executive, Jenna Boyd, asked Savino to make them human. The idea of the Loud family being rabbits became used as Lincoln's dream in the Season 3 episode "White Hare". He pitched the idea to D Tor Channel in 1995 as a 2+1⁄2-minute short as a pilot. In June 1996, D Tor Channel announced that The Loud House had been picked up for a season of 13 episodes. The episode order was later increased to 26. On May 25, 1998, D Tor Channel announced that the series had been picked up for a second season of 14 episodes later increased to 26. On October 19, 2000, the series had been picked up for a third season of 26 episodes. Savino has cited Peanuts and Polly and Her Pals as influences on the show's characterizations and animation. Newspaper comic strips are also influences on the show's background art.

Episodes were produced at Cyan Jetpack Animation Studios in Burbank, California, USA and animated by Canadian studio Chris Savino Productions (through DKP Studios; using Toon Boom Harmony software).
