Synopsis

The series is set in a universe inhabited solely by anthropomorphic animals of many species and focuses on a trio of campers attending a poorly run summer camp known as Camp Kidney.

Trivia about Camp Lazlo

Murray was also inspired by John Candy’s own summer camp-themed cartoon series Camp Candy.

Linda Simensky, who had previously worked with Murray on Rocko's Modern Life, had since moved to Cartoon Network and called Murray to solicit a new series.

After an initial hesitation, Murray sent Simensky the idea for a show with a working title of 3 Beans.

Following approval, Murray began production at Cartoon Network Studios in collaboration with his own company, Joe Murray Productions, and appointed Mark O'Hare as co-producer.

After Rocko's Modern Life concluded production in 1996, series creator Joe Murray kept a notebook of ideas for television shows and books.

Murray attributes some of his most fond memories to days at summer camp; Murray said that he attended summer camp every summer for "4 or 5 years in a row" and that he "couldn't really get the scouting thing down".
