Jackson Publick, co-creator of Venture Bros., describes the move of their Noodlesoup animation studio in Spinning Plates:
Noodlesoup moved their studio a couple of weeks ago. And though I am loathe to let go of the raw/industrial, open space stylings of their previous world headquarters in favor of the smaller, more quasi-corporate setting of their new offices, I welcome the change of neighborhood with open arms. Barely a hop, skip and/or jump away from its former setting, the new Noodlesoup finds itself in much more austere surroundings — namely, across from the fabled, stone-lion-bedecked New York Publick [sic] Library and Bryant Park. Perched atop the 26th floor of this architectural wonder, I will sit in my cramped office and allow the stunning southern views of the Empire State Building and some building with gargoyles all over it whisk me away to a sci-fi/family/action-adventure/adult comedy inspirational wonderland. I will miss the palsied, oversized-hip-hop-gear-wearing, scabby, babbling masses that teemed along our former stretch between the Port Authority and Penn Station… I will miss their belligerent requests for cigarettes and change… I will miss the pigeons on the overhead ledge that thrice crapped upon me… I will miss the occasional knifings and vehicular manslaughters on what I like to call ‘our corner,’ and the palpable sense of dread that accompanied the setting sun there. Rest in Peace, Old Noodlesoup Headquarters… Hell-OOOOOO Fifth Avenue!
