David Michael Feiss Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018
David Feiss (born April 16, 1959) is an American animator.Feiss was born in Sacramento, California. He joined Hanna-Barbera around 1978 while still a teenager.He worked on the 1980s revival of The Jetsons, was a key animator on the Jetsons movie, co-animated the Ren and Stimpy pilot "Big House Blues", was an animation director on The Ren & Stimpy Show during its first season and created the Cartoon Network original series Cow and Chicken and its spin-off, I Am Weasel. On his shows, David directed every episode and also worked as a writer, his writing credits usually collaborated with Michael Ryan.Feiss co-directed the animated segments of The Adventures of Hyperman, a computer game released in 1995 by IBM.In issues #5 and #30 of his cousin Sam Kieth's comic book The Maxx, David showcased his work with The Crappon (which looks like the Warner Brothers frog mascot), Fred Flower and Uncle Italian Moose, which had a very similar style to Cow and Chicken (they are reprinted in WildStorm's The Maxx Volumes 1 and 5 trades). Feiss also collaborated with Kieth on a story featured in Parody Press's 1992 one-shot comic book Pummeler, spoofing Marvel Comics' famous character The Punisher. He was recently head of story for Sony's first CG animated film, Open Season.
When Cartoon Network purchased the series of Cow and Chicken, Feiss added the "show-in-a-show" segment I Am Weasel (each episode would consist of two seven-minute "Cow and Chicken" segments, and close with one seven-minute "I Am Weasel" segment); when the network renewed the series for a second season, Feiss did not want to keep the I Am Weasel segments, but the network did. Feiss finally agreed to continue with I Am Weasel, on the condition that Red Guy from Cow and Chicken could cross over into I Am Weasel as that segment's main antagonist as well.
