## Synopsis

Chaotic (2006-2010) is an American animated fantasy adventure series created by Martin Rauff and produced by Bardel Entertainment and 4Kids Entertainment, with broadcast across FOX, The CW, Teletoon and Jetix. Tom, a teenager who dismisses the card game Chaotic as make-believe, is drawn into its world after entering a password from the game, a turn that follows his friend Kaz Kalinkas, voiced by Darren Dunstan, who has been telling him tales of the realm. Voice actors including Sean Schemmel as Maxxor and Booth Daniels, who voices both Connor and Raznus, populate a stream of quests, battles and rivalries across the game world. Across three seasons and seventy-nine episodes, the series runs as a continuing adventure with episodic action, its story built from the card game's characters and factions. Its tone is bright, breezy and kid friendly, with a light sense of wonder about crossing from the ordinary world into a fantastical one. Set in a fictional realm rather than any real place or era, it sits in the lineage of card game tie-in cartoons, and fans of Yu-Gi-Oh! and Beyblade will find a similar blend of collectible game lore and youthful heroism.
