Rick And Morty - The Ultimate Trivia And Curious Facts Collection

RICK AND MORTY THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB Rick and Morty is an American adult animated science fiction sitcom created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon for Adult Swim. The series follows the misadventures of cynical mad scientist Rick Sanchez, and his fretful grandson, Morty Smith, as they split their time between domestic life and interdimensional travels. The show blends family drama with sci-fi concepts. It is inspired by British-style storytelling, drawing from series such as The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Doctor Who. The show addresses themes of existential dread and cosmicism. Rick and Morty has won multiple awards, including Primetime Emmy and Annie Awards. CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: Rick and Morty originated from an animated short parody of Back to the Future called The Real Animated Adventures of Doc and Mharti, created by Justin Roiland for a short film festival. The short featured crude humor and served as the basis for the characters of Rick and Morty. The show's creators, Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon, met at Channel 101, a short film festival in Los Angeles where participants submit short films and a live audience decides which pilots continue as a series. Roiland's submissions often featured shock value and "sick and twisted" elements that caught Harmon's attention, leading to their collaboration. Initially, Adult Swim wanted a more prime-time show and approached Dan Harmon, who was initially hesitant because he was unfamiliar with animation. Harmon then contacted Roiland, who suggested using the Doc and Mharti characters, which were eventually renamed Rick and Morty, to create the show.
