It was always designed for kids 6-11 years old Sidney’s favorite X-Men was Beast Wishes that the animation was better and they had the same budget Warner Bros was able to spend for Batman The show was successful because: Multilayered stories and great writing Worked the characters backstories into their actions Understood the philosophies of characters Great voice talent Interviews Oral History: Sidney Iwanter https://mosseprogram.wisc.edu/2021/08/06/iwanter/ https://youtu.be/P5hIZaSq_qs 01:00:01 Tortorice: So, this brings up then your post-UW career. What did you do? How did you how did you end up in the entertainment business? Iwanter: I slept with all the wrong people. What happened was I went out to UCLA Film School. I got accepted to, I got accepted there. But I didn’t like it. In fact, I basically dropped out after maybe a year, year and a half. Why? Because academically, it was the pits. Doney: Do you want a water? Iwanter: Oh, no. Thank you. I had… Tortorice: Especially when compared to UW, right? Iwanter: Yeah. No, I’m I’m being serious about that. I had my major professor and film was Russell Merritt. Tortorice: Fantastic teacher. Iwanter: PhD from Harvard in Comp Lit. And he used to say to me, He’s now Berkeley, he’s Berkeley emeritus now. He used to say to me, You don’t study film. As. Unless, you don’t study film, as film, it’s part of an interdisciplinary study. So in other words, if you’re going to study film, you study it through English Lit, French Lit, History, Comp Lit, you know, economics. It doesn’t make any difference. But it’s not. Film is an art form, but it also is as an art form. You, if, if you’re studying Renaissance artists, you have to study Italian, you have to study the history. You have to know what’s going on at, in Florence and Venice and Rome at the time. Okay. The teachers at UCLA at that time and maybe still there. All they did was study film. But they studied film as if it were in a vacuum. They might as well have just been reading Daily Variety. I hated it, hated it with a passion. There was no intellectualism. There was, it was, it was like a wasteland. And I was really pissed because I had also gotten accepted to NYU. And, you know, and but I couldn’t afford NYU. And I could afford UCLA only because if you stayed there for a year, you’d become a California resident. 01:02:59 And so I basically dropped out after about a year, year and a half. And I thought to myself, should I go back to Madison? No, because I don’t want my mother telling me. “Well, I told you so,” honest to God. So I stayed out in Los Angeles and I, weaseled my way into a job. My girlfriend, who I met here in Madison, we went out together to Los Angeles. And so she had gotten a job at J. Walter Thompson. And one day she says to me, Sidney, there’s a job. I hear from a friend who’s working at a TV station, Channel 9 (KHJ-TV), which was General Tire at the time, which is now owned by Disney. The station the there’s a job available there as a teletypist, you can type. And maybe you can go get the job and get off your ass. I says okay. And I, I went there, I got the job. And the reason I got the job was that the person who had promised she wanted it had gone elsewhere and they just needed somebody. And so I actually had to take a typing test. And so and I had prior to that, I worked at the phone company for 18 months as a teletypist. So I was really quick at this. So I got the job at Channel 9 and I got it through a woman named Shelby Conti, whose husband was a struggling composer named Bill [William] Conti, who was the guy from Rocky eventually, you know, an Oscar winner, you know, and so on, and then but he’s Bill Conti anyway. So that job led to a, because I like to talk to people. That job led to another job at Paramount Pictures Television, which was right across the street, which in research again, as a typist, which led to a job at Hanna-Barbera in 1979. I’m encapsulating all of this because there are all kinds of weird stories that go along with this stuff. A lot of one of them, I got the job working at Hanna-Barbera through drugs, but not I wasn’t taking them, but the person who hired me was and this God as my witness that you know, and she got fired from Hanna-Barbera because she came out of the ladies room with a milk sign, but got milk. Well, it wasn’t milk. So they fired her. They says, you can’t be taking coke. You work for Hanna-Barbera! You know, we do Scooby Doo. 01:06:00 What are you talking? And you know. Okay. Anyway, so and the but I had been doing some freelance work for Hanna-Barbera while I was at Paramount. And then I got fired because she had hired me, six weeks later. I say, man, I, I gotta I gotta get this this job, you know, because I’m losing too much money playing the horses at Santa Anita and Hollywood Park. That’s what, I used to do that to make I used to make extra money, you know, trying to play the ponies as well as, you know, poker because they were poker parlors back then. I was a real reprobate. I had just, you know, I would have probably ended up as something straight out of Guys and Dolls if I hadn’t gotten this job. So I, I called, I called up to get my Hanna-Barbera job back, which was just a freelance job. And the person who answered the phone was the person who had just, had replaced the woman who had a coke problem, because she answered the phone because her secretary was in the bathroom. And one thing led to another. And this woman hired me. And this woman became my like my Rabbi in a way, she hired me and fired me three separate times, all for insubordination over the years, different jobs. And so she hired me at Hanna-Barbera. She hired me ten years later at Marvel Entertainment. And then a year after that at Fox Kids, where I became, everybody got to know me because of the shows I worked on, like in animation like X-Men and Batman and Beetlejuice and Spider-Man and Silver Surfer and Goosebumps. And so I mean, you know, and that’s basically, you know, Tortorice: So you kind of fell into it, it sounds like. Iwanter: Yeah. Oh, yeah. I fell into it because, and a lot of people fall into it. Tortorice: Right. Iwanter: Because those of us who didn’t, you know, when I went to UCLA, I didn’t want to become a production person. I think I wanted to, I wanted to be Harvey Goldberg or George Mosse and I knew I couldn’t because I don’t I don’t speak like that, you know, and so and I just ramble on and I just, you know, my, my stories, most of them are, you know, except the ones I tell you, you know, that there’s a lot of tall tale-isms about it, you know, that sort of stuff. But, but yeah, you do. I fell into it like a lot of people. And I’ve spent 40 years in kids programming. Tortorice: What are you most proud of in terms of your work in kids programming? Iwanter: The X-Men, the X-Men show. Because they still talk about it today. 01:09:00 Because this, what this show did, this is animation from, it basically revived the Marvel Universe. It proved you could do this. [Bryan] Singer, the, the, the Director of the first X-Men movie, never read a comic book. He said, I only watched the series to get my, you know, to, to understand that world. And I was the network executive on that show, which meant that everything passed by my desk. All concepts, all scripts, all storyboards, all the, all the, you know, the, the pre-, the post-production. I was there with the editors and all this other stuff. And to this day it’s probably the most sophisticated storytelling. For a children’s. I don’t know if you’ve ever watched it? Doney: Yeah, I have. Iwanter: And, you know, it is, the animation might have sucked, but those stories, man, they were, they were multi-leveled. There was, there was, there, were, there was a character Beast who would always quote Voltaire and Shakespeare. I mean, you know, I got away with murder on this, because it was my show and nobody could touch it. And I did stuff that had never been done before in, you know, for kids programming. And yeah, I made, I made those kinds of references. And it’s, that sort of stuff has been lost today because the people who make these decisions are stupid and they don’t believe that kids are smart enough. And even though you know, you’ve got, you’ve got the six-month-olds with their computers in front of them and you know. But so yeah, that I’m, I’m, I’m, I’m also proud of surviving, you know, because it’s not it was not an easy business. And because you’re always fighting for tenure and that’s your only as good as your, as you’re not good at all. No matter forget about what you just did. What are you gonna do for me now type of thing. So yeah.

Now you may be saying “Echo already has a working title” and you’re right. The good people over at The Cosmic Circus reported that the working title for Echo was Whole Branzino and while that was indeed the working title, Marvel Studios likes to have multiple working titles for their projects and they tend to shift over time. As of right now, Grasshopper is the title they’re working with and I expect it’ll stick until filming begins.
