The voice of the iconic Pokémon theme song from the 1990s animated series will be lending his pipes to another animated tune, as Jason Paige has been tapped to create the signature song for upcoming preschool series Duncan’s Flying Tugboat. Paige will collaborate with TikTok synthwave artist Sunglasses Kid for the project, which will pay homage to classic toons of the ’80s and ’90s.
Originally announced in 2020, Duncan’s Flying Tugboat hails from Virginia-based prodco CUDO (formerly The SkyFarm Company), which has reworked a new version of the concept to bring to market. Relish Studios (Cave Club, Marvel Battleworld: Treachery at Twilight, Polly Pocket) is providing animation for the series, which is co-created by writer Scott Albert (PAW Patrol).
The series follows a ragtag crew of “eggyboo” creatures who journey across the skies in their flying tugboat, helping other air-traveling adventurers. CUDO is also developing a Roblox game and iOS storybook app for Duncan, coming soon.
