Career
Naylor attended Sheridan College.[4] She co-founded Spümcø[5][6][7][8][4] and was involved in the development of Ren & Stimpy.[4][5][8] Ren & Stimpy was criticized for violence with adult,[9] bathroom,[9] dark and sexual humor that TV scarcely uses; it received critical acclaim[7] and inspired more innovative satirical cartoons such as Beavis and Butt-Head,[10][11] Rocko's Modern Life, South Park, Family Guy, and SpongeBob SquarePants.[12] She also produced and directed the film Hercules and Xena - The Animated Movie: The Battle for Mount Olympus. Her biggest roles in character designs were for The Powerpuff Girls, Samurai Jack, Star Wars: Clone Wars, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi, and more.
