Synopsis

Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go! is an American/Japanese animated television series, and was created by Ciro Nieli, one of the directors of Teen Titans, with animation being done by a Japanese studio known as The Answer Studio. Set mainly on the fictional planet of Shuggazoom, the series follows the adventures of five cyborg monkeys and a human boy named Chiro as they struggle to protect… their planet - and the rest of the universe - from the forces of evil. As is obvious from the visual appearance of the show, there is a significant anime influence present, despite being produced for American television. It was also influenced by Star Trek, Super Sentai, Voltron, and Star Wars. The show also contains various references to pop culture, a notable example being the episode "Season of the Skull", which is a parody of the 1970s thriller The Wicker Man.

The art style was a tribute to classic anime, such as Speed Racer, Astro Boy, and Cyborg 009, and was influenced by the works of Ken Ishikawa, Go Nagai, Sanpei Shirato, Shotaro Ishinomori, and Osamu Tezuka.

Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go! was created by director and producer Ciro Nieli.

In 2003, an executive from Disney accepted the project.

It is also inspired by Star Trek, Super Sentai, Power Rangers, Voltron, and Star Wars.

Animator and designer Lynne Naylor, who worked on Samurai Jack and Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi, served as the art director.

Her husband, Chris Reccardi, writer for Samurai Jack and The Powerpuff Girls and additional staff for Tiny Toon Adventures was the assistant director.
