The first season of Battle for Dream Island was made and directed by twin brothers Cary and Michael Huang. It was released on YouTube on their channel jacknjellify from January 1, 2010 to January 2, 2012.
This season mainly revolves around a fictional game show that centers around competitions between twenty anthropomorphic objects for a fictional island resort known as Dream Island, and is hosted by a speaker box known as the Announcer. The losing contestants, which may be in a team, were voted off by viewers and eliminated in a ceremony called Cake at Stake, where the voted-off contestants were imprisoned in a box called the Tiny Loser Chamber, which affected the course of the season. While characters occasionally die throughout the season, they can be brought back to life with machines called “recovery centers”. Viewers suggested their own characters to make cameo appearances.[1][2][3]
Twin brothers Cary and Michael Huang (born March 18, 1997) created the show, as well as directed the first season. In 2009 during his school years, Cary “had to create a fake catalogue for an algebra class”, and inside of it was “a comic about how rock, paper, and scissors … could be improved. [Cary] replaced them with water, sponge, and fire”. Cary continued creating comics; he had written a comic inspired by Total Drama Island, titled Total Firey Island.[3] Michael created animations based on Cary’s comics,[6][7] later stating that he wanted to “combine [animation] with Cary’s characters”.[3]
In 2009, the twins started production on Battle for Dream Island at the age of 12, and released the first episode on January 1, 2010 to their YouTube channel jacknjellify.[1][3] Like the previous projects by the Huang twins, the show was animated using Adobe Flash.[8] The season ran for two years, and its final episode was released on January 2, 2012. The next season, Battle for Dream Island Again, premiered on June 30, 2012.
