Rob soon went to Disney and became fast friends with Creator/AlexHirsch producing Alex's show ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' due to Disney wanting an animation veteran to work on Alex's first show for them. After ''Falls'' ended in 2016 with a wildly successful two-season run, he did stay with Disney for a couple more years as a co-executive on ''WesternAnimation/BigCityGreens''. As of this writing, his latest animation job has been once again teaming up with one of his old friends circa Craig [=McCracken=]'s newest show ''WesternAnimation/KidCosmic''.

''My Life as a Teenage Robot'' debuted [[[[Main/ShortRunInPeru internationally]] in 2002 and the United States the following August, and to this day remains Rob's sole full-length series he claims to his name. ''[=MLaaTR=]'' was notable for being Nickelodeon's first major foray into [[ActionGenre action]] and quickly became a critical darling, but the network not really knowing what to do with it led to declining ratings, resulting in its 2005 cancelation.

Fred Seibert would leave Hanna-Barbara a couple years later, formed Creator/FrederatorStudios and created a nearly identical anthology show for Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}, ''WesternAnimation/OhYeahCartoons''. Rob created several more shorts for this show, among them five more ''Mina'' shorts. Nick over time grew very uncomfortable with the concept, but Fred allowed Rob to keep his last slot for the show and develop another pilot. Some brainstorming with Fred led to the creation of the short ''My Neighbor is a Teenage Robot'', which Nickelodeon eventually approved for a full series in March 2002: ''WesternAnimation/MyLifeAsATeenageRobot.''

Robert John Renzetti (born September 12, 1967) is an a UsefulNotes/{{Chicago}} born American animator, storyboard artist and artist, cartoonist and author with a long career throughout a large number of sectors in American television animation.

He grew up in Addision and from a young age was interested in drawing and animation, eventually studying art history and later attending an animation program at the Columbia College Chicago, where he met Creator/GenndyTartakovsky. He later went to study at the California Institute of Arts, once again with Genndy and also meeting Creator/CraigMcCracken.

His first job out of school was animating on ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' in Spain, then he joined Creator/HannaBarbera under the guidance of Fred Seibert and worked on several shows there. He was one of many
who contributed to Creator/CartoonNetwork's and Seibert's anthology project ''WesternAnimation/WhatACartoonShow''; his short, "Interlude with a Vampire", was based off his [=CalArts=] student film. It was the pilot for a full series ''WesternAnimation/MinaAndTheCount'', but despite multiple parties being interested never quite made it. Rob was a prominent staffer on much of Cartoon Network's early material regardless, including staff jobs on the shows of his best friends like ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'' and ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998''.

Fred Seibert would leave Hanna-Barbara a couple years later, formed Creator/FrederatorStudios and created a nearly identical anthology show for Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}, ''WesternAnimation/OhYeahCartoons''. Rob created several more shorts for this show, among them five more ''Mina'' shorts. Nick over time grew very uncomfortable with the concept, but Fred allowed Rob to keep his last slot for the show and develop another pilot. Some brainstorming with Fred produced ''My Neighbor
is known a Teenage Robot'', which was greenlit for a series. ''WesternAnimation/MyLifeAsATeenageRobot'' debuted on August 1, 2003 and to this day remains Rob's sole full-length series he claims to his name. ''[=MLaaTR=]'' was notable for being Nickelodeon's first major foray into [[ActionGenre action]] and quickly became a critical darling, but the creator of ''WesternAnimation/MyLifeAsATeenageRobot''.

network never really knowing what to do with led to low ratings and a swift cancelation. Rob can be found on himself ended up horribly burnt out by the heavy work schedule involved in handling his own show, which is partially why he hasn't helmed a show since then. In spite of that, time has [[VindicatedByHistory treated it well]] and he's come to be really glad that ''[=MLaaTR=]'' now has a large internet following holding out hope for a revival.

When ''[=MLaaTR=]'' ended production, Rob left Nickelodeon and jumped back to Cartoon Network to reunite Craig for his [[WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends newest show]] at the time and to start an anthology show of their own in ''WesternAnimation/{{Cartoonstitute}}''; this show never actually hit the airwaves even though it did achieve its goal of starting new series to a degree. Working at Cartoon Network again with Creator/LaurenFaust led to his next big job as a story editor on ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'''s first two seasons, leaving the show around the same time she did.

Rob soon went to Disney and became fast friends with Creator/AlexHirsch producing Alex's show ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' due to Disney wanting an animation veteran to work on Alex's first show for them. After ''Falls'' ended with a wildly successful two-season run, he did stay with Disney for a couple more years. As of this writing, his latest animation job has been once again teaming up with one of his old friends circa Craig [=McCracken=]'s newest show ''WesternAnimation/KidCosmic''.

Has a
[[https://twitter.com/RobRenzetti Twitter]].Twitter]] where he stays somewhat in touch with fans of many shows he has worked on, mostly prominetly ''[=MLaaTR=]'', having posted a large amount of production material for the show over there.

!! Tropes Rob Has Used In His Works
Tropes:
* AuthorAppeal: He likes anime [[Creator/OsamuTezuka Tezuka-style]] anime, UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfAnimation (in particular Disney and superhero works ''WesternAnimation/{{Popeye}}''), robots, [[BunniesForCuteness rabbits]] (having owned several as pets), superheroes, and puts a whole lot of influences from [=UPA=] shorts from the 1950's. He's also a big horror fan, which shows in references ''Mina and the Count'''s subject matter while influences from various eras of it crop up into ''My Life as a Teenage Robot'' on occasion.
* CreatorCameo: Cameos in the first episode of ''My Life as a Teenage Robot'' as an ice cream truck driver.
* CreatorsOddball: He directed two episodes of ''Family Guy'', which remains his only work that has never had children as part of its intended audience. It does fit him in a different way in that in that Creator/SethMacFarlane is yet another ''What a Cartoon!'' / ''Oh Yeah! Cartoons'' alumni (being one of a few animators who provided shorts
for his work.
both).
* DemographicallyInappropriateHumor: He puts in adult jokes Much like with Craig and Genndy, this type of humor is very prominent when he's writing jokes.
* HeAlsoDid: Aside from cartoons, he is an author and has written a few books
for fun.Disney.
* {{Minimalism}}: Another part of his art style, mostly due to strong [=UPA=] influence.
* ProductionPosse: Works with Creator/CraigMcCracken, Creator/GenndyTartakovsky, Creator/LaurenFaust and to a lesser extent Creator/DaveWasson very often. Both of his own shows feature Creator/CandiMilo voicing major characters.
* ProductionThrowback: Larry 3000's head from ''Time Squad'' makes a cameo in the first episode of ''My Life as a Teenage Robot''. Not surprisingly, that show's creator Creator/DaveWasson was on the staff for ''Teenage Robot''.
* {{Retraux}}: Rob is a big fan of classic animation and art of many decades' past, and as a result many tropes from them tend to bleed into his work. ''Teenage Robot'' liberally employs RubberhoseLimbs, PieEyed characters and very minimalist art common in the 50's and 60's.


Added DiffLines:

* ThickLineAnimation: One of many key figures in bringing this style back into vogue in the mid-late 1990s. His own shows, especially ''Teenage Robot'', really bring it home.

* RuleThirtyFourCreatorReactions: When there was a debate on Facebook over some fan-art of Jenny, Rob stepped in and offered his views, saying that while he doesn't find outright porn of his characters as tolerable, simple "sexy" pinups were A-OK.
-->'''Rob Renzetti:''' "Let me say that this particular piece of art is okay with me. It is 'sexy', which is okay with me. What I object to is 'Sex' images where things range from very suggestive to completely explicit. I hope that is clear enough for everyone but, if you aren't sure whether an image might be appropriate or not, then don't post it."
