Matthew Raymond “Matt” Burnett (born March 7, 1983 in New Jersey) is an American animator, writer, director, voice actor, storyboard artist, and executive producer. He is best known as the co-creator, alongside longtime collaborator Ben Levin, of Cartoon Network’s Craig of the Creek (2017–2023) and its spin-off Jessica’s Big Little World (2023). Together, Burnett and Levin also co-wrote and co-directed the prequel film Craig Before the Creek (2023). Before creating his own series, Burnett was a key creative force on Steven Universe (2013–2018). As a senior writer and story editor, he helped develop the story for nearly 50 episodes and edited scripts for more than 50, working closely with the storyboard artists during pitches to refine Rebecca Sugar’s vision for the show. He and Levin left Steven Universe after Craig of the Creek was greenlit, but returned to co-write the story for Steven Universe: The Movie (2019). Burnett’s career began in the mid-2000s. In 2006, he provided the voice of Simon in the short film She She She She’s a Bombshell!, and the following year worked as an animator on Kappa Mikey (2007). Since then, his work has spanned writing, directing, voice acting, and producing, with a consistent focus on imaginative, character-driven storytelling. Burnett often credits his DIY, hands-on upbringing for shaping his creative ethos, bringing authenticity and heart to the worlds he builds. Across television and film, he has established himself as a versatile storyteller dedicated to creating stories filled with humor, warmth, and emotional depth.
Twenty years have passed since the conclusion of Adventures, and all has mostly been peaceful in both Skylands and Earth. Skylands has entered a new golden age of peace and prosperity, and the Skylanders' members have disbanded to focus on their personal lives with the new peace this age provides. Back on the Earth, the portal masters have found success in their personal lives, and the Skylanders games invented by Jake have become a fond part of many people's childhood nostalgia. But soon, a handful of kids from Earth will realize that these are more than just games when they enter a series of strange portals that arrive on Earth... ║ Fancast for a sequel to Skylanders Adventures that would act as a loose adaptation of pre-revamp Ring of Heroes and a potential springboard for a Skylanders reboot.
