Owen& #39;s reddit AMA is live. I& #39;ll post screenshots of his answers here!
The cat would have ditched Tulip in the Beach Car
He just tells Chrome Canyon the vibes and then the man makes magic. We all love the music on this show
Randall isn& #39;t a train-wide phenomenon and the pig baby isn& #39;t a passenger turned into a pig baby
The crew don& #39;t really "reject" ideas. In concept, Ryan and Min started out as bank robbers in the old west. Owen also talks about characters "crossing dimensions", "living out of phase with each other" and falling in love with a stranger by watching their tapes
Even if they knew it was the last season, they wouldn& #39;t have changed Book 4. It was a reaction to Book 3. It was the story they wanted to tell.
A cut scene from The Party Car featured the one and only Alan Dracula
Depending on the scene, the number of arms the Steward has varies. Such is the magic of animation, folks!
OH GOD THERE& #39;S MORE THAN ONE
Kez is hot blooded, hence warm kisses. Book 5 would have probably been about Amelia taking over the Train, and Hazel does age
Confirmation that Book 5 would have been Amelia& #39;s hijacking of the Train. Also Owen wanted to explore how gohms are made, quarantine, how long the Train is and a... Christmas special???
Owen was told of the show& #39;s cancellation in December
Even Owen& #39;s not entirely sure what that nightmare hand creature in the Museum Car is
We need Book 5
i hate cartoon network
all the food in the pig baby car sounded revolting honestly
Owen enjoyed writer& #39;s retreats and board pitches while working on the show. Also just hanging out with his team
Owen& #39;s advice for showrunners
They planned on coming back to Amelia and Hazel and to explore that relationship. Also there are no plans for any more Infinity Train stories in any media form, including comics, but Owen still wants to
Apparently it& #39;s very easy to get JK Simmons to voice a giant pig baby on your weird therapy train show
We& #39;re not sure if Lake can actually taste anything
Someone please give this man a Kipo toy from Carl& #39;s Jr
Alex, Maddie and Chrome Canyon are responsible for the banger at the end of Book 4
Owen estimates that half of Book 4 was made during the pandemic
Owen doesn& #39;t like flashbacks as a narrative element, instead choosing to find different ways to reveal character& #39;s pasts
The themes of Book 4 are "relationship maintenance and communication or lack thereof". Also "artistic endeavors versus the reality of creativity", and how relationships take work
Owen says they got to do every car they wanted, but wishes some characters said or felt something different, but it was sometimes difficult with the limited production timeframe
It& #39;s possible to get on the Train multiple times. There are cars with food on them but only one toilet car.
The Mall Car and The Tape Car, both from Book 2, are Owen& #39;s favourite episodes.
Owen confirms that the lunch lady Lake sees in episode 1 is Jesse& #39;s lunch lady
Book 5 my beloved, what secrets would you have revealed?
Ryan is named after Ryan Pequin, storyboard artist on Books 1 and 2 before leaving the show to work on Summer Camp Island
The boots were standard issue for passengers before Amelia& #39;s takeover. Simon& #39;s boots were modified, but Owen doesn& #39;t say how
GIVE GRACE HER EXIT I AM NOT ASKING
Owen has not completely given up hope that Infinity Train can continue, one way or another
um...
Owen has been working on new projects that he can& #39;t talk about. He specifies that they& #39;re adult non-comedy animated movies and tv shows
jesus christ owen
Simon& #39;s death, Lake and Mace& #39;s argument and the bathroom scene in Book 4 are Owen& #39;s favourite scenes
the humpty dumpty themed restaurant is based on a real restaurant called Humtpy& #39;s
Lake would win in a protagonist battle royale
replying to a response on his "Kez has warm blood" answer, Owen says that Kez keeps all her blood in her mouth...
okay let& #39;s... maybe stop asking this man questions...
okay let& #39;s... maybe stop asking this man questions...
Owen recommends Taskmaster (me too it& #39;s so funny), and Maddie recommends the Wet Hot American Summer shows
Maddie came up with the idea of a talking cow creamer and Owen thought up the giant pig baby (of course he did, the madman)
Owen wanted to do seasons with a recurring character and where a character stayed on the Train.
idk if he& #39;s referring to Amelia being a recurring character, and Grace & Simon staying on the Train, or if these would have been elements for different characters in later seasons
idk if he& #39;s referring to Amelia being a recurring character, and Grace & Simon staying on the Train, or if these would have been elements for different characters in later seasons
Either One, Amelia or the Cat would have murdered someone in Book 5
The hand monster in the Museum Car is known as The Docent
Owen wants to do the show with the original crew, but sys he& #39;s still grieving the cancellation and wants to try out other things in the meantime
STOP STOP STOP
Book 8 would have touched on alzheimer& #39;s disease, loosely inspired by an autobiography that Owen& #39;s grandfather wrote
Amelia gave all the passengers their belongings back
One-One could recreate denizens physically but it wouldn& #39;t be the same person due to different experiences.
Confirms all denizens are individuals
Confirms all denizens are individuals
Hi Maddie!
Pre-Amelia, every passenger had the same jumpsuits so that everyone started with complete neutrality
The script for Book 5 is fully written. Owen won& #39;t release it because there& #39;s always a possibility the show could continue somehow
Chicken Choice Judy& #39;s musical style is inspired by The Bangles and YMO
I will burn Cartoon Network studios to the ground
Randall wasn& #39;t in Book 4 because he was still in the Beach Car
Owen wants to make an R-rated sci-fi animated movie. He doesn& #39;t like coffee
They wanted to set a story parallel to Amelia taking over the train, presumably partly to act as a set-up for Book 5
Book 4 is a comedy
The crew wanted Book 4 to subvert the darker tone of Book 3
Shadowy government entities are aware of the Train and have tried getting on it to study it
That& #39;s all for now!
Owen says Cartoon Network passed on the Infinity Train movie (Season 5) because they thought it didn& #39;t have a child entry point. He reiterates that maybe one day it could change, citing fan engagement as a key factor to potentially renewing the show in the future
Season 5 was going to be a movie and some storyboards were made. The crew were in the process of brainstorming characters and plots for Seasons 6 and 7 when the show got cancelled
If numbers get so high, they get physically smaller
A lot of things about the Ghoms would have been revealed in Book 5. Also, answering as to whether or not the ghoms are edible, Owen links to... a gif of Danny Devito as the Penguin...
"The train projects a version of the train into the real world by using elements of itself". Nobody collects dead bodies off the Train, and there are possibly more rooms inside the Engine
All the cars in the train are completely random, allowing for every possibility in which a passenger can learn a life changing lesson
One story (not necessarily Book 5), was going to focus on Hazel and Amelia
In an alternate reality, Owen Dennis is a pastry chef! I think we& #39;re all much more thankful he decided to create this show instead
Whether Infinity Train continues in comic form isn& #39;t up to Owen
Owen believes in "death of the author", and loves hearing fans& #39; personal interpretations of the characters and stories
No Flintstones car for a while, it seems
why does owen have so many limes???
Owen is still hopeful the show can return one day. If IT continues as comics, he& #39;d like to have different writers and artists from around the world work on it. He& #39;s been watching a lot of true crime docs and RuPaul
Reminder that "Train to Nowhere", the song at the end of Book 4, is available to stream on spotify, apple music and other music streaming services
The cabin robe is Owen& #39;s favourite Samantha outfit
Stories, themes and characters for the remaining seasons were all discussed, plus some concept art
Stay hydrated, people! If you& #39;re reading this, go and drink some water. Now. Right now, go and do it! I won& #39;t ask again!
I love this advice. Don& #39;t be afraid of your creativity. Embrace it! The world will be a better place because YOU made something here!
SOMEWHERE IN THE WORLD THERE ARE REAL, CANONICAL SCRIPTS WHERE LAKE SAYS "FUCK"
no comment
Imagine if your number got so high the Train just gave up and wrote "googolplex" on your hand
Owen and his team made the show they always wanted to make.
And I think we can all agree that Minty Lewis did a terrific job as Kez this season
I never noticed this oh my goodness
I think they kept it this way because real progress and self betterment takes time, so it& #39;d cheapen the idea of the train if the character got home and no time had passed
Every "This would have been covered in Book 5" is so painful. It was really going to be such a good season
Owen says his number would be around 185
dont laugh dont laugh dont laugh dont laugh dont laugh
We now have an official menu to enjoy while watching each season
yep
This man is such a creative inspiration
MattsAttack2413& #39;s sister is the only person on Earth who& #39;s allowed to know that it takes about 10 months to make an episode.
Season 5 was going to reveal a lot of mysteries about the Train
thanks owen
a... *full* script...
Infinity Pain
HBO Max and Cartoon Network, we DEMAND more Infinity Train!
David Bowie and YMO were musical influences for Ryan and Min-Gi
Book 5 would have run parallel to the events of Book 4
Owen is already working on other projects. He worked as a storyboard artist on season 1 of Close Enough last year, which was created by JG Quintel, who originally hired Owen as a writer and storyboard artist for Regular Show.
Kez, the Docent and Paco are Owen& #39;s favourite Book 4 denizens
OWEN LISTENS TO VAPORWAVE. HE DOES IT ALL THE TIME.
The voice acting on the show is incredible and Jeremy Crutchley is no exception
Production itself wasn& #39;t affected too badly by the pandemic, but the crew didn& #39;t get the chance to have a proper goodbye in person
oh no
it& #39;s true, gay people are bad at geography
im too sleep deprived rn to add anything to this look its 4:20 am funny number
At least I& #39;m not the only one
Well now I just have more questions about Kez& #39;s mouth
Please don& #39;t follow Owen into the bathroom at conventions
On the Train, your own progress is up to you
Let& #39;s hope the pandemic can end soon so we can all get back to doing the things we love, as best as we can do them
The Choo Choo Crew loves Animal Crossing
Your own life and experiences are the best place to start if you want to create something
um...
Thank you Justin Michael and Angella Kim for the incredible split-screen scenes in B4 E1
Book 6 would have been about a character that hasn& #39;t been introduced
Someone make a VR Infinity Train game I am not asking
Lake is Minnesotan
Infinity Train would work so well in any choose-your-adventure style game
An imperfect finished product is still better than a perfect idea that was never started
Frank the bear is Owen& #39;s favourite side character. He also voices him.
Owen says that if you& #39;re making a pilot episode, make one where the characters and world are all established. It& #39;s better than having a pilot where everything is being introduced
Infinity Train Ms. Pac Man crossover when?
The Wasteland was originally intended to be even more nightmarish
An Infinity Train game would be just so cool
Your interpretation of the characters and the show is what matters most, not what happens before or after the stories. However you interpret the show is completely valid
It& #39;s been so long since I watched Regular Show, I need to go back and watch some of it again
