What if Paris Filmes was founded in 1923/Paris Animações was founded in 1989?/The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy

The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy  is an American-Canadian animated horror anthology television series that aired on Paris Sleepover and [Lucastoon adult]. It was created by Maxwell Atoms, Mike Judge, Matt Groening, Nick Park and Adam Shaheen.
The series premiered with the episode "The Tale of the Grim Reaper" as a pilot on Halloween 2001 on [Lucastoon adult]. The show was both a critical and commercial success, garnering numerous awards as the series progressed.
However, it also sparked much controversy for its depiction of extreme violence, imagery, gore (that wasn't seen that much on TV cartoons at the time) and using realistic hand-drawn animation, TBA, which led to the updated television cartoon rating system in 1993.
== Premise ==
The series is centered around the exploits of Billy (Richard Steven Horvitz), a completely idiotic and happy-go-lucky boy; Mandy (Grey DeLisle), a cynical, intelligent, and merciless girl; and Grim (Seth Green), a Jamaican-accented Reaper. After Billy and Mandy cheated at a limbo match against Grim (in retaliation for putting the limbo rod too low for them to go under), he is enslaved in a permanently unwanted friendship with the children.[2] Grim is miserable in the first days of his servitude, and even fantasizes about killing them multiple times. However, as the time passes, he gradually adapts to the new life, and even grows to care for Billy and Mandy, if only somewhat. Despite this, he retains a love–hate relationship with the two and desires to eventually break free from his servitude.
Billy and Mandy use Grim's supernatural abilities and powers to venture into supernatural locations or environments, such as the Underworld, or the Netherworld, inhabited by an assortment of grotesque monstrous beasts. The pair also use Grim's enormously strong supernatural abilities or ties with a number of beastly characters to achieve goals or desires for themselves, often with twisted results. Famed fictional monsters including Dracula, the Wolfman, and the bogeyman are also comically depicted in the series.
Supporting characters include Irwin (Vanessa Marshall), a nerdy awkward boy who has a crush on Mandy; Harold (Richard Steven Horvitz), Billy's father who is even dumber than his son; Gladys (Jennifer Hale), Billy's loving yet mentally unstable mother; Mindy (Rachael MacFarlane), the snobby, stuck-up, and spoiled queen bee of Billy and Mandy's school; Sperg (Greg Eagles), the local bully who has a sensitive side; Fred Fredburger (C. H. Greenblatt), a simple-minded, irritating underworld creature who loves frozen yogurt and nachos; Dracula (Phil LaMarr), a selfish elderly vampire who is revealed to be Irwin's paternal grandfather in the final season of the show.
The show lacks continuity for the most part, as many episodes end with characters killed, exiled, or stuck in a situation. Characters sometimes display an awareness of some events from previous episodes, but there are no clear character arcs or coherent plot lines tying the show together.
