Vinton -- the creator of claymation -- is well-known for having brought to life some of the world's best known animated characters, including The California Raisins, the computer-animated M&Ms "Red" and "Yellow", and Thurgood Stubs for the Eddie Murphy inspired television series THE PJs.
Tall, daring and handsome, secret agent Jack Hightower had it all -- a stellar career, beautiful women, and more power and influence than he could shake a supermodel at. Only one thing eluded him -- the capture of his long-time arch nemesis, Dr. Flagitious Savant. Then one fateful night, the mad Doctor lured Jack into the beam of a shrink ray! Now Jack's trying to put his miniaturized life back together, hunt down the deadly Dr. Savant and reverse the process that made him into the world's first living action figure.
