World Leaders Entertainment

World Leaders Entertainment (formerly Noodlesoup Productions) was a New York City-based independent animated entertainment and advertising production company. Originally founded in 2001 by a close group of New York animators, directors and artists.
Entertainment Productions
World Leaders' most notable entertainment productions include The Venture Bros. for Adult Swim, Gotham Girls for Warner Bros., Battle Pope for SpikeTV, Supernormal for CITV, Super Gliders for Kids' AOL, and Robotomy for Cartoon Network.
They also produced the opening animation for both My Baby's Daddy and Duplex for Miramax.
Commercial Productions
On the commercial side they recently completed an eight spot animated campaign for Tracfone's Net10 with creative from Droga5 that won gold in the 2008 Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival, gold in the 2008 One Show awards, and silver in the 2008 ANDY Awards. The campaign features The League of Evil, a fearsome group of villains who have finally met a force more evil than themselves: their cell phone company. It can be found at Tracfone's No-Evil.net.
World Leaders has also completed an array of commercial projects for clients ranging from Microsoft, Choice Hotels, Amtrak, General Mills, Kohler, Heartgard, Cartoon Network, and MTV in collaboration with agencies like Droga5, Saatchi & Saatchi, Arnold Worldwide, GSD&M, Euro RSCG, Strawberryfrog, Young & Rubicam, and DraftFCB.
Interactive Productions
World Leaders Entertainment has also created interactive applications and microsites for its clients. Their most recent interactive endeavors include MightyGiants.com for General Mills' Jolly Green Giant, Lucky Charms Webisode for General Mills' Millsberry website, Jos Plumbing.com for Kohler, I Do Dog Tricks.com for Heartgard, and The Elephant and Piggie Dance Game for Disney and Mo Willems.
World Leaders' End Tags
One of the company's distinct features are the end tags featured during the close of The Venture Bros, of which several distinct ones aired during the second and third seasons. Each features a world leader (past or present) commenting about soup, which serves as a reference to the company's former name and brand (the Noodlesoup end tag was an animated child declaring, "That's good soup!"). These quotes include Fidel Castro exclaiming "Qué sopa mas buena!" ("What good soup!"), Marie Antoinette declaring "Qu'ils mangent de la soupe" ("Let them eat soup"), Napoleon Bonaparte pronouncing "Ca, c'est un bon soupe" ("This is some good soup"), Queen Elizabeth I announcing "That's bloody good soup!" and John F. Kennedy stating "That's good chowder".
World Leaders Stinger
Featured in the ongoing fourth season of The Venture Brothers, are several miniaturized caricatures of world leaders, some of whom were featured in the previous seasons end tags.
Studio closure
Sometime between the conclusion of production on The Venture Bros. Season Four and the end of 2010/beginning of 2011 World Leaders Entertainment permanently shut down. As a result ongoing productions including The Venture Bros. were transferred by Cartoon Network to Titmouse, Inc. who will assume production of The Venture Bros. starting with the one hour special then Season 5.
