Career
Naylor co-founded Spümcø[2] and was involved in the development of Ren & Stimpy. Ren & Stimpy was criticized for violence with adult, bathroom, dark and sexual humor that TV scarcely uses; it was also praised by some critics and audiences and inspired more innovative satirical cartoons such as Beavis and Butt-Head,[3] Rocko's Modern Life, South Park, Family Guy, and SpongeBob SquarePants.[4][5] She also produced and directed the film Hercules and Xena - The Animated Movie: The Battle for Mount Olympus. Her biggest roles in character designs were for The Powerpuff Girls, Samurai Jack, Star Wars: Clone Wars, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi, and more.
