Vegas Moptops

Vegas Moptops is an American animated television series created by Edwin Ohm. The series centres on the apprehensive and self-conscious Tobi Lorrell, who juggles between his enrolment to secondary school and the way of living in a crime-heavy city, along with his friends Monty and Marc, and younger brother Lars. The show tackles on Las Vegas society, dilemmas within the transition through adolescence, and the quality of life.

The main characters were conceived by Ohm during a conversation shortly after finishing production of the first season of Intense Phys Ed, and based it off his experience in his first year of secondary, describing the show in interviews as the 'juggle back and forth from social awkardness and the obsession of the status quo'. After pitching an 11-minute rough draft of the pilot to Aroba Animation, they assigned him with the plan of 24 half-hour episodes.

On August 16th, 1998, Vegas Moptops made its primetime debut on CBS in the height of Aroba's popularity therefore opening to 6.1 million viewers. The show proved to be critically lauded for its themes, calling it a 'call to arms for more progressive animation for young audiences'. Due to the show's success, Aroba requested for Vegas Moptops to be syndicated and broadcast for the daytime Aroba Invasion block. The series garnered consistently high ratings throughout its 10-season run and became one of the longest-running animated shows produced by Aroba.

Years after its series finale on March 1st, 2008, the original team pitched a screenplay for a theatrical film based on the show. The script adapted into The Vegas Moptops Motion Picture and was released to theatres on May 7th, 2012, whereas the original show lives on via reruns on ArobaCentral.
