Big City Greens the Movie: Spacecation Red Carpet Interviews
GRAMMA ALICE, CRICKET, TILLY, BILL
Brothers and Big City Greens creators, Chris and Shane Houghton, explain that the idea for the series came about because they moved from the country to Los Angeles when they were kids. The character of Cricket is very much inspired by Chris, so it is only fitting that he voices him. Gramma Alice is based on their real life Gramma Alice, as well. They always say write what you know, and these two took it to heart. Perhaps that is why this series is so successful and well loved, that there is now a movie.
When asked if Big City Greens the Movie: Spacecation can be a standalone film, or if you have to have seen the series to understand what is going on, every single person stated that it absolutely can. There are certain things in the movie that are there as fun Easter eggs or nods to past episodes, but this also serves as a great introduction to the Greens.
