Thomspon Colton: Agent of MI3 is an animated series produced by Golden Fox Studios from 2003 through 2006. Its producers and creators, David Agnew, Smith Alansson, and Robert Markham have stated that: "...it [the show] is a postmodern look back at action, adventure, and all that is Bond."

The show was orignally panned by critics for its ultra-simplified art style, which at times was even more abstract than some Saturday morning cartoons, but showed its seriousness thorugh deliberate use of "diminished" colours seen in Batman: The Animated series, and significant lack of slapstick, often opting for "higher ground", as director Smith Alansson put it in a 2005 interview.

The show also used professional actors to voice their actors, although the title character's was a relative unknown, Walter Spelvin. Sound effects in the show also appear to have been voiced over by a voice actor, giving an illusion of onomatopoeia.
