Created by Matt Burnett and Ben Levin, who served as the head writers of Steven Universe for its first five seasons, Craig of the Creek is an American animated television series created for Cartoon Network. The series follows the adventures of the ever imaginative Craig and his two best friends Kelsey and J.P., as they explore the woods outside their small town of Herkleton and interact with a myriad of eccentric characters: from paintball players that use near-lethal ammunition to a tribe of kids that hoard lost toys in the sewers.The pilot for the show was released on the Cartoon Network App/VOD in December 2017, while the series proper similarly premiered on these services on February 19, 2018; the show made its television debut on March 30, 2018. On January 19, 2022, the series was renewed for a fifth season and a movie was announced.On November 15, 2023, the movie, Craig Before the Creek, was announced with a teaser trailer to be coming soon, set to focus on the time when Craig first came to the titular Creek. It would later release digitally on December 12, 2023.A spinoff series tentatively titled Jessica's Big Little World, starring Craig's little sister, was announced on February 17, 2021, to be in development for Cartoon Network's Cartoonito preschool block. It debuted on Cartoon Network on October 2, 2023. | |

Order Versus Chaos | |
| Craig of the Creek / int_1a237409 | comment |
Order Versus Chaos: The series develops an ongoing storyline involving Craig's desire to map out the Creek, which becomes a key MacGuffin that the King of the Other Side of the Creek needs in order to expand his empire. The kids of the Creek all form their own cliques and rules for playing, but ultimately get along with each other. The kids from the Other Side of the Creek have to submit to the King's rules. By the end of "The Tournament", The King has taken detailed pictures of Craig's map. By the end of season 3, King Xavier has been dethroned after briefly ruling the entire Creek. | |

The Ghost | |
| Craig of the Creek / int_1ba17583 | comment |
The Ghost: Tony Mozafari is often mentioned among the Creek Kids. He started the water balloon fight in "Escape from Family Dinner", was reported to have a lizard the size of a car in "Sour Candy Trials" (though this was Big Red making things up), claims to have seen a zombie in "Fort Williams", kids took refuge in his tree house in "The Ground Is Lava", and claimed he knows and booked a famous musical band (which he actually did) for "Creek Talent Extravaganza." He's never actually been seen or heard at any point in the show. | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall | |
| Craig of the Creek / int_1e7487cd | comment |
Breaking the Fourth Wall: The series occasionally acknowledges itself as a cartoon. In "Jpony", during J.P.'s dance "Do The J.P.", he calls out to the kids watching at home to join in and dance. While playing Hide & Seek inside the Wilson household in "Snow Place Like Home", Craig looks for a hiding spot and notices a white space on the 4th wall near the front door. Craig comments that they never use this room on the show. When Bernard, Craig, and Jessica get locked out of their house in "Locked Out Cold", Craig comments how they already did this plot in an earlier episode. J.P. is aware that he has a Non-Standard Character Design compared to the other kids, such as Skintone Sclerae, and while not directly breaking the fourth wall, often leans against it to point out meta details in the animation. In "King of Camping", Duane shows off his hatchet by claiming that it can cut off heads... of cabbages, lettuces, and other "TV-Y7 vegetables". In "Adventures in Baby Casino," Craig tells the watchers that this is where they come in before playing Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe with Big Baby. | |

Chekhov's Gun: The game of Capture the Flag. The kids' investigation into the history of the creek kids who played there before them revealed Apocalyptic Logs of a great game of Capture the Flag that was used to settle disputes between the various factions of the creek. After King Xavier took over the Creek, the Creek Kids regained their independence through a game of Capture the Flag. | |

Special Guest: The band Bad Moves appear as themselves in "Vulture's Nest". Del tha Funkee Homosapien appears in "The Kid from 3030", as a kid who moved from the city to the suburbs and is pretending to be the titular robot from the future. His character is named Deltron, in a nod to his project with Dan the Automator, Deltron 3030. Deltron returns in "Capture the Flag Part 5: The Game", but Del himself doesn't, as Deltron has no speaking lines and performs the preexisting Deltron 3030 song "Positive Contact". Keith David is Craig's narrator voice in "Craig and the Kids' Table". | |

Bilingual Bonus | |
| Craig of the Creek / int_294ed981 | comment |
Bilingual Bonus: Several unique and accurate examples of this have shown up throughout Season 4, without any subtitles. In "Sink or Swim Team", Eileen's grandmother is introduced and she only speaks Bisaya (Cebuano). She remarks "Huh.... Maayo ra na sila sa sunod nga salida" ("Huh.... But they're gonna make up in the sequel anyway") in response to a Cliffhanger in the film she's watching. She also says that Craig is handsome and asks if he's Eileen's boyfriend. Jackie, being both mute and deaf, speaks exclusively in Black American Sign Language, with a couple of characters understanding and signing the language while conversing with him. In "Grandma Smugglers", Raj and his grandmother both converse in Gujarati, with the latter speaking the language exclusively. | |

Vocal Evolution: Philip Solomon was 14 when he began voicing nine-year-old Craig Williams. Fast-forward a few years, and Solomon is an adult, while Craig has only aged a year. Consequently, Craig's voice sounds deeper and much more affected. | |

Lethal Joke Character: Squeakers the Infected Rat is this in Bring Out Your Beast. The card deals -3 damage to its owner at the end of every turn, and who wants to use a character that only hurts you? Someone playing against a Beast Snare, tricking the opponent into snaring Squeakers and then the opponent faces the -3 damage penalty. | |

"Everyone Is Gone" Episode: In "The Last Kid In The Creek", after refusing to eat hot cabbage and clam chips that J.P. offered him, Craig declares that he'd rather be alone than surrounded by "weird snack-loving kids", then shouts "YOU HEAR THAT, UNIVERSE!?". Some days later, he finds he's the only kid left in the creek after everyone else got sick (because Kit refused to take a sick day from running the Trading Tree). | |

Pineapple Ruins Pizza: J.P. expresses his defense of pineapple on pizza, saying it balances out salty with sweet, but Craig dismisses it as "nasty". When the Green Poncho is asked of his opinion, he sides with J.P. for the same reason. Craig shows bewilderment as if he doesn't even know who he's talking to anymore. | |

Skewed Priorities: In "Elders of the Creek", it goes both ways when the elders are trapped under their rock and livestream their Sanity Slippage for viewership, so the kids watching don't want to get them out for that same reason. That is, until Craig warns them all that their parents will come and find out the dangerous stuff the kids do at the creek. Cue the instant cavalry. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
| Craig of the Creek / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: The trio are launched high into the air - high enough that they can see the town - and land feet first into Craig's backyard. Then Kelsey falls over and Craig and J.P. buckle their knees, with Craig saying they jumped really far. In "The Climb" Kelsey sends her pet parakeet Mortimer to fly up a massive tree to retrieve Craig's phone. Mortimor tires out after flying just a fraction of the way up. Mortimor may be a bird, but he's also a very small and domesticated animal that probably doesn't fly to great heights often. | |

Nobody Likes a Tattletale: In the episode "A Tattle Tale," Craig and friends have to look after a group of younger kids who constantly tattle on each other about everything. Most of the episode is Craig and company trying to teach the kids not to constantly tattle, though they do make a point of saying that there are some circumstances where you are supposed call for help from an older kid, such as if someone is in danger. | |

Clap Your Hands If You Believe | |
| Craig of the Creek / int_4dbd3706 | comment |
Clap Your Hands If You Believe: The kids of the creek all pretend their fantasies are real and make them extremely gullible to anything that should be impossible. To the audience, these fantasies are shown to be real enough, but at times, the curtain gets pulled back and we see that they're all pretending to see these fantasies and are simply messing around (not that they'll ever admit that they're using their imagination). | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Craig of the Creek / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: Title cards from the first to mid-second season mimicked kids' drawings to reflect an adventure. Starting in "Craig and the Kids' Table" onwards, the title cards are painted, and more vibrant and colored as a result. As their voice actors hadn't hit puberty yet, Craig and Jason's voices were much higher-pitched in early season 1 then they are in the rest of the series. Kelsey, meanwhile, had a completely different voice actor, and thus a completely different voice, in the first few episodes. Season 1 is the only completed season that doesn't have any double-length episodes. | |

| Craig of the Creek / int_598513bb | comment |
Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: Between the Williams kids, Craig enjoys playing and goofing off and hates chores and responsibility, while Bernard is stern, straightlaced, and takes work very seriously. Naturally, they don’t get along very well. Jessica is an oddball, as she fluctuates between being more and less responsible than Craig. Between the Mercer kids, J.P. is an utter Cloudcuckoolander who often gets himself into precarious situations, which Laura is quick to call him out on. She's still more willing to take it easy than Bernard, however. | |

Only J.P. is disturbed by this event. Jessica starts placing "Pay Up!" house pieces around the house to claim them as her own. Nicole is amazed that she put one inside a bottle of orange juice without breaking the freshness seal. | |

Serious Business | |
| Craig of the Creek / int_6b35bdff | comment |
Serious Business: The kids treat everything that involves hanging out at the creek this way. Pretty much everything is taken seriously until the dinner alarm at the end of the day snaps everyone back to reality. In "You're It", a game of Tag is treated like a curse that has been passed down to the kids in the neighborhood for generations. In "The Ground is Lava!", everyone in the creek pretends the ground is, well, lava, though Craig plays it for drama after getting into an argument with Jessica and he wishes to find her before she succumbs to the lava. The thing is, she's not playing the game, so the kids' imagination of her doesn't work...until she's accidentally coaxed into playing it, that is. If someone pretends to handcuff you, you have to pretend to be restrained. Cardboard apparently has a lot of neat appliances when really going to the extremes. Moving away from the creek equals the kid in question is dead to everyone. (At least they arrange a funeral.) The kids of the creek are all generally ignorant of the time during sunset that they absolutely need one of them (Beth the Timekeeper) to remind them (and therefore snap them out of their fantasies) loudly to go home for dinner at 6 o'clock. Adults aren't safe from being serious on their own stuff. Duane takes his camping skills very seriously that fishing out a salamander instead of a fish still means it has to be eaten to survive. | |

Covers Always Lie: In "Dog Decider," Craig recalls when he was chosen to choose a movie for movie night with his grandparents on a weekend. He chose the movie "Burning Justice" over "Rhino Racers" because the first sounded and looked better (it had a dismembered, melting face showing the skull). As it turned out, it was a boring courtroom movie. | |

Driving Question: In Season 2 "Ancients of the Creek", the Stump Trio discovers that the ancient kids of the creek played a game of Capture the Flag that escalated into a war across the creek that would drive them all to become indoor kids. The Trio is trying to figure out what happened back then so it won't repeat again. The game proves to be the last resort for the Creek Kids to regain their independence after King Xavier successfully takes over. | |

Free-Range Children | |
| Craig of the Creek / int_84c5ec0b | comment |
Free-Range Children: The sheer number of kids able to explore the creek without adult supervision. The adults are aware that the creek is the playground that kids go to, and the kids are well aware that any problem that happens must be solved by themselves, because letting adults know about what they do would get them banned. | |

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane | |
| Craig of the Creek / int_cb70651c | comment |
Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: While the series tends to lean toward the mundane side of the series' fantastical situations (they tend to be the characters' overactive imaginations), there have been moments in the series that seem rather shaky and beyond realistic. This issue is intentionally skirted around in "The Haunted Dollhouse", where the Witches of the Creek are freaked out while questioning if the dollhouse actually is haunted or not. Even with everything they're seeing with their eyes, they can't make heads or tails of it, and the episode ends leaving it ambiguous for the sake of creepiness. | |

Mundane Made Awesome: Playing in a creek is made into a huge deal for the kids who do. Some of the kids and events that happen suggest that not everything is grounded in reality. Wildernessa's dog, Cheesesticks, can roar loud enough to physically push Craig, Kelsey, and J.P. from the middle of a thick algae pond onto the shore, and blowing their souls out of their bodies in the process. | |

In "The Ground is Lava!", everyone in the creek pretends the ground is, well, lava, though Craig plays it for drama after getting into an argument with Jessica and he wishes to find her before she succumbs to the lava. The thing is, she's not playing the game, so the kids' imagination of her doesn't work...until she's accidentally coaxed into playing it, that is. | |

Ship Tease | |
| Craig of the Creek / int_dcb9c541 | comment |
Ship Tease: A few of these happen between Craig and Kit in "The Shortcut", most notably when Kit's grandma whispers to Kit that she shouldn't trade Craig anything for her heart, causing Kit to be embarrassed. Wildernessa has this with Craig. In her debut episode, as she describes the dangers of the creek, her imaginary depiction of Craig is exaggeratedly handsome. It's made very explicit that she has a crush on him in "Breaking the Ice". Cartoon Network even teased them in their social media platform accounts during the 2021 Valentine's Day with "Vote for Your Fav Ship Name", where they called them "Crildernessa", and "Your Relationship Based on Your Sign", where they use couples to represent the Western Zodiac, with them representing Taurus. What's interesting to note is on the latter post, they used Official Couples for each signs (granted, two of the couples broke upnote Finn & Flame Princess and Mordecai & Margaret and one's with a Companion Cubenote Panda and his phone), so it's ambiguous if they'll go down that route with them.note Come "Puppy Love", they're official. Then, the day before Valentine's Day 2022, they were teased even further in "All the Adorable Couples", which included married couples like Nicole & Duane and Jojo & Earl, couples officially dating like Courtney & Tabitha and Bernard & Alexis, and couples who are official in all but name like Kelsey & Stacks, J.P. & Maney, and Shawn & Raj. They're teased yet again in "Craig of the Creek Anime Cover Theme Song", where during the video, a bunch of cherry blossoms, which can be symbolized as love, appears and reveals them sitting together until J.P. shows up and gets between them. "Craig to the Future" shows that the two are dating as teenagers. This is a future concocted by the Witches, however, so it's not precisely their fate. "Puppy Love" makes it clear that the feeling is mutual as Craig not only remembers her confession that was cut short after she was frozen during Capture the Flag, but he understood what she meant, showing he isn't oblivious to her feelings for him. He later views her the same way she viewed him back in "Breaking the Ice" as exaggeratedly beautiful. When Wildernessa finally confesses to Craig that "Cheesesticks" likes him, Craig correctly knows what she means and lets her know he likes "them", too. They both laugh and howl together, with Cheesesticks joining them. "Sink or Swim Team" has this with Craig and the Sewer Queen: When Craig visits the Sewer Queen's house, Kelsey and J.P. assume that Craig was planning on marrying her behind their backs. When he meets her grandmother, she calls him guapo and asks the Sewer Queen if Craig was her boyfriend. She is immediately embarrassed. | |

Hollywood Board Games | |
| Craig of the Creek / int_de763115 | comment |
Hollywood Board Games: "Adventures in Baby Casino": Craig's The Ace characterization encompasses even playing Tic-Tac-Toe, which he easily wins by taking over the corners. When faced with a 9x9 grid, he fakes struggling against his opponent, a The Don baby, to get him overconfident. A very smoothly played Batman Gambit. "Bored Games": The second human-sized board game the Stump Trio lands in is Battle Barns, a Battleship knock-off. Their opponent welcomes them by shooting one of their barn ships with a corn torpedo. Being their turn, the kids now need ammo to fire back — J.P. summons a cute dog Monopoly piece but is reluctant to load it in their cannon, which shows that he's a Gentle Giant. Next, Craig summons Scrabble tiles which, when fired, take the shape of an arrow. This particular ammo choice (not intentional on his part) matches with the fact that he's Black and Nerdy, as well as providing some slapstick comedy. The kids win with this shot, causing them to cheer. When they discover they destroyed their opponent's home, they awkwardly apologize because they are good kids. | |

Worthless Treasure Twist | |
| Craig of the Creek / int_edf841f6 | comment |
Worthless Treasure Twist: In "Deep Creek Salvage", Craig sees something shiny in the creek, thinking it might be gold, with Craig, Kelsey and J.P. clearing the junk out of the swamp, only to discover that the gold bar is actually an ancient candy bar from a candy factory that went out of business over 50 years ago with an expired sweepstakes wrapper. Nevertheless, the Creek kids learn to appreciate the creek which is now cleared of pollution. | |

Unconventional Food Usage | |
| Craig of the Creek / int_f1dcfb69 | comment |
Unconventional Food Usage: When fighting Maya, the king of the other side of the creek's best-friend-cum-royal-guard, J.P. throws his sandwich (which he had been brandishing like a weapon all episode). Initially subverted when Maya eats said sandwich, but doubly so when J.P. reveals the sandwich was in his underwear, making the whole thing a chemical/psychological warfare ploy. | |

Would Hit a Girl | |
| Craig of the Creek / int_f42f96fa | comment |
Would Hit a Girl: Craig almost did this to a girl on the other side of the creek after overhearing a bad comment she made about his map to the Honeysuckle Rangers. J.P., however, stops him from beating her up due to not wanting their cover to be blown since they are on a mission to get the map back from the Honeysuckle Rangers undetected. | |

Series Fauxnale | |
| Craig of the Creek / int_f9c3ecc6 | comment |
Series Fauxnale: The Capture The Flag five episode special event at the end of season 3 neatly wraps up the overarching conflict between the Kids of the Creek and the Creek Kingdom. It answers the mystery of what the Capture the Flag War from the ancient kids of the Creek was even for, features the sudden return of various allies and antagonists such as Deltron and Paloma, sees King Xavier dethroned by Craig and his kingdom toppled, and the entire other half of the creek is now available to explore. The event had all the makings of a final episode and could have ended right there with most mysteries wrapped up and a few threads for some characters left intentionally hanging, but the series was renewed for a season 4 and the adventure continues on. | |

Depending on the Writer | |
| Craig of the Creek / int_fdc4fab4 | comment |
Between the Williams kids, Craig enjoys playing and goofing off and hates chores and responsibility, while Bernard is stern, straightlaced, and takes work very seriously. Naturally, they don’t get along very well. Jessica is an oddball, as she fluctuates between being more and less responsible than Craig. | |
