Crime Time is a series of animated shorts produced by Future Thought Productions, produced by Jay Zaveri and Steve Kasper, directed by Nassos Vakalis[1]

Premise[edit]

Shifty (The Criminal) perpetrates crimes from the sublime to the ridiculous - and never quite pulls them off, resulting in hilarious consequences. It is rendered in a graphic style reminiscent of classic UPA shorts.[2][3]

Crime Time gives the viewer a brief but comical look at the irony of crime. Taking on the spirit of old-world cartoons, the series uses sight gags and pacing to bring about a comedic scenario. Produced in a combination of Flash and CGI animation, the creators utilize classic elements of story telling to give this series a unique personality. The series, which consists of shorts varying in length from 90 to 180 seconds, introduces a comic anti-hero character Shifty (The Criminal) who seems to always be just moments away from successfully beating the system only to have his plans derailed by some unforeseeable circumstance.

Characters[edit]

Shifty– The Show's main villain protagonist in the series.

The Fat Cop- An unnamed overweight police officer. He partners up with The Skinny Cop.

Lance the Skinny Cop- A thin police officer and the partner of The Fat Cop.

Female Robber- A Female Robber who is Shifty's one time Girlfriend who only appears in The Girlfriend episode.
