Robot Chicken is an Emmy- winning American television series from producers Seth Green and Matthew Senreich . It is broadcast on the American Cartoon Network in the Adult Swim series and on German pay TV on TNT Comedy . The protagonists of the series are mostly commercially available toy dolls for children, such as Barbie dolls , or the action figures He-Man and the Transformers from the 1980s , whose appearance may be changed.
In terms of content, Robot Chicken parodies events from pop culture, which are re-enacted and provided with a dose of black humor. The series is based on stop-motion technology. In the individual frames of the animation, mouths made of paper are attached to the figures to simulate the movement of the lips. The first episode aired in the US on February 20, 2005.
