History Creator / ChrisSavino

** Some time in the year 2000, Savino directed a pilot for the ''WesternAnimation/WhatACartoonShow'' titled ''Foe Paws'', which involved a woman purchasing a dog and cat from the store to act as her new children. The short could have pre-dated Savino's creator credit for ''The Loud House'' had it been picked up for a series.

* ''Foe Paws'' -- Creator/Storyboard Director/Model Design

* BleachedUnderpants: Inverted. Savino is best known in the animation industry, working on children's cartoons, and has done plenty of comic works of similar nature. However, at some point, he created a comic strip titled ''The Complex Adventures of Eddie Puss'', which is about a young anthropomorphic cat who is sexually attracted to his own mother. As you might've guessed, the comic strip isn't kid-friendly at all. He has since disowned the strip, and refuses to talk about it anymore.

* FlipFlopOfGod: Although Chris had admitted to the allegations that were made against him, expressed his guilt, shame, and remorse, and had even praised the bravery of the women who came forward to call him out on his misconduct toward them, he has since denied the allegations, claiming all of the women who came forward had lied about him in order to help boost their own fledging careers in the animation industry, and that any relationships or affairs he had with any of them were completely consentual.

* ''ComicBook/{{Hate}}'' (scrapped TV pilot) -- Layout Artist

However, at some point, he created a comic strip titled ''The Complex Adventures of Eddie Puss'', which is about a young anthropomorphic cat who is [[OedipusComplex sexually attracted to his own mother]]. As you might've guessed, the comic strip isn't kid-friendly at all. He has since disowned the strip, and refuses to talk about it anymore.

* LongTitle: Two of his books, ''Peter Power'' and ''Writing Cartoons'', really favor this.

Since then, he has published several books, including the children's novel ''Coal: A Cautionary Christmas Tale'' and nonfiction guide ''Writing Cartoons in 4 Acts (Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Midpoint)''. He has also made the newspaper comic strip ''For Brothers''.

As of 2022, Savino and his second wife, Ian, have launched the ''Christian Car Rides'' Website/YouTube channel, which features the couple driving around in a car and discussing topics (WebVideo/ComediansInCarsGettingCoffee sound familiar?) that range from answering fan-submitted questions, to proclaiming Savino's innocence. He is also working with an upstart Christian alternative streaming service known as Loor to develop a new animated series called ''Busted Bible Stories'', a FracturedFairyTale series which attempts to bring faith-based entertainment to the 18-35 demographic in the spirit ("Pun intended," says Savino) of ''WesternAnimation/MrPeabodyAndSherman''.

* OldShame: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACDIHh9B-84&t=503s this video]] with Creator/ButchHartman, Chris is asked if he was a showrunner for ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'', prompting him to answer with "I ran it to the ground".

* CreatorsOddball: His decision to make the Bigfoot and Gray pilot live action rather than animated was a surprise to his fans given his inexperience in the field.

* ''Bigfoot & Gray On the Run'' (volumes 1 and 2)

** In 2011, he launched an Indiegogo campaign to fund for a live-action short adaption of his comic book titled ''Bigfoot and Gray on the Run'', which he intended to serve as a potential pilot for a TV series. The short was [[https://vimeo.com/59683177 completed]], but its chances of being picked up are slim to nothing with the allegations made against him.

Christopher Mason "Chris" Savino (born October 2, 1971) is a storyboard artist, writer and director.

** When Nick [[http://deadline.com/2017/03/spongebob-loud-house-sherlock-gnomes-1202054433/ announced plans]] for a [[WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouseMovie theatrical TLH movie]] for 2020, Savino was signed on to write and direct the feature. However, due to his firing from the series, he was replaced as writer and director by Chris Viscardi and Dave Needham, respectively. Given that the movie was eventually pushed back by one year (and released on Netflix instead of theaters), it's likely that his original draft (if it was even completed, as the movie was greenlighted only seven months before he was fired) was scrapped.

** After their divorce in late 2017, his ex wife Bethany had to privatize her Instagram page since the controversy surrounding Chris was bringing unwanted attention from The Loud House's fanbase to her and their kids.
* RoleEndingMisdemeanor: Savino's career was effectively destroyed after he was suspended and eventually fired by Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} in October 2017 when several women in the industry came forward to reveal his decade-long history of sexual harassment and blackmail threats against them.[[note]]One of them being ''WesternAnimation/BoJackHorseman'' director Anne Walker Farrell.[[/note]] Savino has since withdrawn from his social media accounts [[note]]with the exception of an apology [[http://money.cnn.com/2017/10/19/media/nickelodeon-chris-savino/index.html he posted]] on his now-defunct Facebook page[[/note]], making it safe to say that he's all but blacklisted from the industry and that he'll have no further involvement with ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'', or any show for that matter.
