## Executive Summary & Cultural Positioning

Fanboy and Chum Chum is an animated television series centered on two enthusiastic fans of science fiction and fantasy. The title characters are distinguished by their choice to wear wild superhero costumes with their underwear worn on the outside. Throughout the series, the duo experiences a variety of adventures within their imaginative world. Their daily lives are filled with unusual occurrences, ranging from encounters with an ice monster operating a Frosty Freezy Freeze machine to Fanboy’s teacher transforming into a zombie.
