Everyday Borderline is an animated series that aired on YTV in Canada and Toon Disney in the United States from July 25, 2003 to January 5th, 2007. The series is a collaboration between Disney & YTV. Despite the narration present in this series, no real dialogue is used.

Plot
The series takes place in a world where cartoon caricatures of different species are stuck living through everday cartoon life trapped in their own thick outline drawn crudely and enhanced by a cartoonist named Riley Breeck, who is eager to get his cartoon to a publishing syndicate. The caricatures are constantly abused by said cartoonist, and are always looking for ideas to defend themselves whilst creating chaos in the world itself.

Production
The series is a joint collaboration between Disney's Jetix & YTV. Chris Tebbatt first pitched the idea to Jetix in late 2001. Having been persuaded by other people a year later, he re-pitched the idea to YTV, and they later teamed up with both CinéGroupe and House of Cool and convinced Jetix to support the series on condition of merchandise. Production took place approximately in Canada and the United States, being produced by CineGroupé and House of Cool with some of the animation being done by Creative Capers Entertainment, although additional animation is done in-house as well.

Tebbatt stated in an interview in 2008 that the crudely drawn art style was inspired by the works of some relatively known users on Newgrounds.

Reception
The series received mixed-to-negative reviews from critics, mainly due to the lack of dialogue and unhinged chaotic nature among the characters. However, it received generally positive reviews from audiences themselves, with the praise going to the range of voice acting, bouncy animation and hilarious comedy. It is rated at least 8.6/10 on IMDb.

Home media
DVDs of the series were distributed by Walt Disney Home Entertainment alone.
