Sushi Pack is a Canadian-American animated television series produced by DIC Entertainment and American Greetings, that aired on the KEWLopolis block on CBS November 3, 2007 - September 12, 2009. It featured a team of anthropomorphic wasabi, salmon egg sushi, crab sushi, tuna sushi, and octopus sushi as they used their wits and their emotions to save the world and educate young children. The Sushi Pack team lives in a donut shop with their human friend, Ben. Despite the superhero element of the story, violence is used only as a last resort. The closing theme song of the show is a techno/rap/funk hybrid song written by Phofo, composer for the entire series. Sushi Pack was created by Studio Espinosa. Quests involve learning about the meaning of friendship, social skills, and teamwork.
Sushi Pack was the last television series to be produced by DIC Entertainment, before shutting down in 2008, folding into Cookie Jar Entertainment, which produced the second season.
Welcome to the rat race, people killing themselves
To get ahead of the pack, backstab and attack.
Out for self, the money, the power, the fame,
Competition and greed in a world without shame.
I stumble and fall along the path I've chosen,
I face my fears, I won't be broken.
Corrosion has a way of fucking with your sanity,
I do what I gotta to preserve my humanity.
Switchback - taking life as each day comes
Switchback - facing fears, I never run,
Switchback - never quit until I'm done
I'm the underdong and I will overcome.
Confrontation can break you down to your very fast compound.
Beat you down, drag you round, break you
Refuse to bend, never ever let it take you
Over the edge where you can never break through.
Overcome, switchback, stand strong alone
The good, the bad, the truth, the unknown
Locked up at war with the demons within
I fight to live, I live to win.
The harder that I battle with lifes deceit,
The stronger I stand on my own two feet.
If I allow the world to assimilate my mind,
Will my freedom be forever denied?
