http://www.cartoonbrew.com/internet-television/netflix-announces-6-new-animated-series-141106.html
>Five of the shows are children’s series and one is targeted at adults. Interestingly, all five kids’ pick-ups are based on existing concepts, ranging from films (Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, Spy Kids) to videogames (Skylanders) and books (Llama, Llama) to graphic novels (Hilda, pictured at top). The sole original idea is the adult series, which is the celebrity-driven Big Mouth from actor Nick Kroll.
>The latter, described as an “edgy, surreal animated comedy” about teenagers experiencing puberty, was developed by Kroll and Family Guy writer/producer Andrew Goldberg, as well as Mark Levin and Jennifer Flackett. Confirmed voice actors for the series are Maya Rudolph, Jason Mantzoukas, Jordan Peele, Fred Armisen, Jenny Slate, and Jessi Klein. Ten episodes will premiere in 2017.
Skylanders Academy
>Animated action-comedy Skylanders Academy follows the heroic adventures of the Skylanders team, a ragtag group of heroes with unique elemental skills who travel the vast Skylands universe, protecting it from evil-doers. They achieve victory by setting aside their egos, learning to trust one another and fighting as one to maintain harmony and balance in the land. Led by showrunner Eric Rogers (Futurama), the series features the voices of Justin Long (Ask Me Anything) as Spyro, Ashley Tisdale (High School Musical, Phineas and Ferb) as Stealth Elf, Jonathan Banks (Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul) as Eruptor and Norm MacDonald (Saturday Night Live) as Glumshanks. Additional voice talent includes Susan Sarandon, Daniel Wu, Parker Posey, James Hetfield, Catherine O’Hara, Chris Diamantopoulos and Harland Williams, among others. Available to Netflix members worldwide, starting with 13 episodes this fall and continuing with a second season in late 2017.
>Hilda cartoon
Cool!
>>84144585
Llama Llama
>Based on the award-winning and best selling book series by author and illustrator Anna Dewdney, Llama Llama is an animated show about childhood moments and adventures, as well as the special connections between lead character Llama, his parents, grandparents and best friends. Set to premiere in 2017 to Netflix members worldwide, Llama Llama tells heart-warming tales of life in a safe, friendly town seen through the eyes of Llama as he interacts with the amazing world around him. The series is led by an all-star team of creators including Oscar-winning director Rob Minkoff (The Lion King), director Saul Blinkoff (Doc McStuffins), showrunner Joe Purdy, legendary art director Ruben Aquino (Frozen, The Lion King, Aladdin, Mulan) and Emmy-award winning producers Jane Startz and Andy Heyward.
>>84144618
Spirit Riding Free
>Inspired by the Oscar-nominated film Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, Spirit Riding Free follows the heartfelt journey of a wild mustang who could not be tamed. A whole new generation will experience all the daring adventures when Spirit meets a girl named Lucky whose courage matches his own. Together they push limits, harness the power of friendship and discover what it means to be free. With their best friends by their side, they explore a world filled with endless rides, magnificent horses and never-ending fun. The series will premiere exclusively on Netflix in 2017 in the U.S., Canada, Latin America, UK, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, the Nordics, Benelux and France.
>>84144646
Spy Kids: Mission Critical
>From producer Bob Weinstein comes an animated adventure comedy series based on the beloved family film franchise, Spy Kids. The show follows brother and sister team Juni and Carmen Cortez as they attend Spy Kids Academy, a top secret spy school for kid agents. When a new counter-spy agency threatens the safety of the world, it will be up to junior spies Juni and Carmen to train and lead a team of fellow Spy Kids cadets against the forces of S.W.A.M.P. (Sinister Wrongdoers Against Mankind’s Preservation) and their diabolical leader, Golden Brain. The Mission Critical team may not be ready, but they are the only ones to call when grown-up spies can’t do the job! Featuring FM DeMarco of Netflix original series Dragons: Race to the Edge as head writer, Spy Kids: Mission Critical will be available to Netflix members worldwide in 2018.
>>84144572
>“edgy, surreal animated comedy” about teenagers experiencing puberty
Sounds like the blandest concept possible.
>>84144675
Hilda
>A production of Silvergate Media, the makers of Octonauts, in collaboration with Mercury Filmworks, Hilda transforms the Eisner-Award nominated graphic novels by Luke Pearson and published by Nobrow into an incredible animated adventure for older kids. The series follows the journey of a fearless blue-haired girl as she travels from her home in a vast magical wilderness full of elves and giants to the bustling city of Trolberg, where she makes new friends and discovers mysterious creatures who are stranger –and sometimes more dangerous– than she ever expected. Twelve episodes available to Netflix members worldwide beginning in 2018.
>>84144572
>Spy Kids cartoon
Neat. I loved Spy Kids as a kid. I haven't watched them in a solid decade, I never saw the fourth one, and I doubt I'll watch the cartoon, but it's still cool to hear. Hopefully kids'll like it.
>>84144572
>another edgy, surreal comedy with cynical asshole characters and crude humor
Why doesn't Netflix realize that a sizeable demographic who watch animated series and can afford their service (ie 18-25 year olds) would rather want something more mature and with substance? Like, shit, make something like a Cowboy Bebop, just anything but another comedy
>>84144703
>I haven't watched them in a solid decade
You might...you might not want to go back.
Take it from someone who tried to. The first one is the only film that even halfway holds up as something watchable.
>>84144646
>A show based off that movie nobody remembers
Okay
>>84144778
FUCK NO! If you're not using animation for what it was made for then you might as well do it in LIVE ACTION!
Animaniacs season 6 or GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY INDUSTRY!
>>84144836
Won't this be the last Dreamworks x Netflix show considering that DW is going off to Comcast?
>>84144873
>Animaniacs season 6
Sure. It will be Calarts style, animated in flash, and free of any trace of toxic masculinity.
>>84144922
That would fill the last 12th slot of their deal, yes.
>>84144927
At least your whining is compact. You're just going after everyone, huh?
>>84144646
>Dreamworks makes ONE animated series based off their 2D films
>It isn't Road to El Dorado
Megamind would've been better than this.
>>84144675
The movies became cartoons already.

>Spirit meets a girl

Oh boy I'm dying to see all the zoo porn out of this.
>>84144696
>>84144572
Aw sweet, I love those Hilda books.

>>84145001
But Road to El Dorado doesn't have that sweet sweet horse girl demographic anon
>>84145089

Everybody abandon thread, it's toxic now.
>>84144873
>Animation was only made for stupid comedy and nothing more
Get out of my industry. People like you are cancer.
>>84144922
They're not messing with the deal anytime soon.
>>84145148
No, I said that animation was only made for INTELLIGENT comedy, never stupid.
>>84144873
Who has decreed that animation may only be used for comedy?
>everyone wants to work for Netflix
I love how this keeps happening. Networks treat their showrunners like utter shit, especially in animated series so no wonder everyone's going to Netflix.
How's Voltron doing?
>>84145001
>Road to El Dorado show
Fucking genius. Fund it.
>>84145120
Road to El Dorado has a great horse character though. I wish it could happen.
>>84144646
Oh boy more of that fuck-me eyes lady horse then huh
>>84145206
>Who has decreed that animation may only be used for comedy?
the people who fund animation
Shame we didn't get another thing like Voltron.
>>84145209
Netflix literally refuses to release numbers for anything.
No one actually knows. If we're going by the amount of gay fanart being churned out online I'm pretty sure it's the most popular animated series in human history.
>>84145269
I clicked on a Voltron thread once. I stopped clicking on Voltron threads.
>>84145209
Netflix is genuinely open to whatever cool animated show you're interested in as long as you prove you can make it and not waste their money. Networks treat cartoons like poison. Viva the internet TV revolution.
>>84145269
Not in the top 10, thats for sure.
Animaniacs however is at number 2, only behind House Of Cards.
>>84145265
This line-up was made in advance though, I'm sure that they're looking for their next big action show pitch at this moment
>>84145307
Animaniacs season 6 will change that.
Reminder to ignore and report Famicom/TMS posts, because fuck if I know how these threads end up becoming.
>>84145269
>going by the amount of gay fanart
The best metric.
>>84144646
It could be great if they keep it 2d.
>>84145001
>>84145220
But GOOD GOD, it would have been great to get a Road to El Dorado movie, even today people still remember it, even if it the passing was weird at the end.
Dreamworks was build on the idea that they would make EVERY MOVIE into a franchine with various sequels, but they never managed to do it with their 2d movies, unlike Kung Fu Panda, How to Train Your Dragon and Shreck.
Road to El Dorado was planned to have multiple sequels with Tulio and Miguel exploring the rest of the new world and other mystical places, with their premise of "sidekicks of adventure films as protagonists".
>>84145345
Please shut the fuck up
>>84145307
While it is true that Netflix is more chill, I do feel like they are a buisness after all, and for that they need the traditional types of animated shows that TV networks tend to have, like
>the cynical/dysfunctional family comedy with limited animation (F is For Family, Bojack)
>the action show (Dragons, Voltron)
>the little babby stuff (Lego, Dinotrux)
>whatever else (Croods, most DW shows)
>>84145439
Now that you mention it, a streaming series would almost be perfect for a Tulio and Miguel show. They'd be free to make the plots last as many episodes as it would take without fear of someone missing a premier along the way.
>>84145315
>Animaniacs however is at number 2, only behind House Of Cards.
>Source: myass.gov
Netflix literally refuses to release viewership numbers. They have no legal obligation to do so like the actual TV channels do, they have no higher management or commercial organisations that requires that viewership data.
No one knows anything for sure beyond "well a lot of people are talking about House of Cards coming back on Twitter this week" and other shit like that.
And they have no real reason to ever publish that data. Keeping that behind a wall of silence make it easier to cancel or renew shows without the entire Internet playing Viewership Math Detectives about what's going on.
>>84145387
But he has nothing to do with these threads & posts.
Voltron was so good i'm disappointed we won't be seeing anything else like it from Netflix. Maybe if Marvel sells the the rights to do some animted shows.
>>84145209
I hope Greg Weisman gets to do a Netflix show soon. Young Justice or not.
>>84145552
What do you mean, we've got Guilmero Del Toro's "Trollhunters" coming this December.
>>84145524
No, Animaniacs being number 2 on Netflix is well known info. You're delusional, seek help.
>>84145552
Dude just because there's nothing right now does not mean there will never be.
>>84145600
I wonder who they'll cast to replace Anton Yelchin. He was supposed to be the lead.
>>84144675
Will Machete be in it?
yawn
>>84144585
>Johnathan Banks and Norm Macdonald
what
>>84144703
>>84144791
I rewatched them a month ago. The first one is boring at every moment that isn't Alan Cumming or Tony Shalhoub speaking. The second is goodbad schlock. 3 was always terrible.
>>84145754
Probably someone who sounds similar.
I'll still watch it since it's got Hellboy/Slade and Fraiser/Sideshow Bob.
>>84145001
Damn it, anon.
Now I'm fucking mad.
>>84145583
WHY WAS THIS DELETED?!? this is 100% true, anyway.
They are already talks about Animaniacs season 6.
https://desuarchive.org/co/thread/81367427/
>As some of you may know there have been recent talk (as of April 2016) about a 6th season of Animaniacs ever since Anime Japan 2014 showcased a backwards WB logo in TMS' booth where the staff have been tweeting admit feeling good about a season 6 and encouraging everyone to binge watch seasons 1 to 5. The creator, staff and cast have stated that if it happens they'll drop all of their current projects and get right into it and they have also stated that they have all the writing done for season 6.
>Personally, I love Animaniacs and if there's any possibility that it can come back as a Netflix exclusive, I will do whatever I can to make it happen. What are your thoughts on it?

>>84146255
Never, kill the cancer.
>>84146270
Animation historian.
Is the new Voltron worth seeing for someone who's never seen anything Voltron related? Does it stand on its own or does it require a pre-existing love of the franchise?
>>84146334
No, it's shit, please watch real cartoons instead.
http://www.b99.tv/video/great-piggy-bank-robbery/
>>84146334
It's good, no prior knowledge needed
>>84144696
interested.
>>84146270
He's obsessed with Animaniacs and Hamtaro and TMS (some animation studio) to a psychotic degree. He doesn't listen to anything anyone tells him and is incapable of learning anything.
>>84146270
Faggot who thinks TMS (Tokyo Movie Shinsha) is the best there is and it will bring quality animation back to the US. He also believes that they own Tiny Toons and Animaniacs, makes up rumors, and anytime people tell him to fuck off he pretends that he is someone else.
>>84144778
>Like, shit, make something like a Cowboy Bebop, just anything but another comedy
Animated comedies aren't bad. What is bad is that it often fall into or there exist the presumption it is either South Park tier or MacFarlane tier humour. I wouldn't mind a animated comedy that break that stigmatization, usually comedy is comical when everything clicks naturally and not used as an overtly run gag.
Neither does it have to be the next Cowboy Bebop, while that maybe ideal, I wouldn't mind watching another Moral Orel or Dr. Katz.
As for the next Cowboy Bebop, I doubt that'll happen. Maybe considering Rebecca Sugar's influence, she'll pitch a magical girl anime a lá Utena. Or, maybe Del Toro'll finally pitch that Pacific Rim anime.
>>84146658
There's so many different ways of doing comedies (e.g. Konosuba, Airplane!) but it seems like the sitcom has become the standard for American shows.
>>84146389
>>84146473
>>84146601
That 100% false.
>>84146938
Hello Famicom.
>>84144873
>in LIVE ACTION!
why, We are going to live to see movies where the entire cast is literally CGI and the audience can't tell. Animation is going to replace live action, it's just it will be called CGI to prevent driving people away.
>>84144873
Anything with a lot of visible fantasy or sci-fi stuff will always look better animated then in live action, no matter how good the special effects or cgi is.
>>84145602
Animaniacs is on Netflix?
Huh
>>84144585
FINALLY! I've been saying this needed a cartoon for years
.>>84144572
>The latter, described as an “edgy, surreal animated comedy”
awwww dammit I thought we'd get a nice adult action cartoon
>>84144572
>like a week since it's been announced
>still no porn
I don't care what new stuff they produce. I'm sure someone will like it.
But if they don't put out a season 3, or more, for knights of sidonia I will straight up lose my mind.
>>84144646
I liked Spirit but that was over a decade ago.
Children now have definitely not seen it.
>>84144572
The Big Mouth show could be alright depending if they actually put effort into the way it looks.
Will still support it like Voltron to make Netflix know that people are interested in cartoons targeted for the older crowd.
>>84144696
>Hilda
I'm interested in this. Might read the comics cause 2018 is a long time away.
>>84147111
That only happen once with Beowulf and they knew right away.
>>84147193
Being cheap is NEVER a good thing.
>>84147210
Yep.
>>84147215
>Kong already renewed and Voltron isn't
I know that piece of crap is cheaper to make and premiered earlier, but seriously?
>>84147340
I'm pretty sure there'll be Sidonia season 3 next year. The manga is now over and they can finish up the story in one more season. Wouldn't be surprised if Netflix actually funded it this time around instead of just claiming it as Netflix Original because of broadcasting rights, since they are looking to produce more Japanese content too.
>>84147621
Voltron:LD is only $45,000-90,000 a episode, the cheaper episodes are the ones when they just ship the script & sound track to Korea (as only a Korean director is listed).
How cheap is Netflix?
>>84147621
Isn't Voltron already contracted for 75 episodes?
>>84147700
American shows have budgets of $500,000 or more, so how could VLD be that cheap?
>>84147603
That's because it was bad CG. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bL6hp8BKB24
>>84147700
Oh, I'm sure they'll renew Voltron too sooner or later. I'm mostly just annoyed by Kong: King of Cheapskate CGI being renewed at all.
>>84147815
Fuck off Famicom. For the love o Christ, no body likes you, please just leave us alone.
>>84147751
American shows have not been at that cost in over a decade.
>>84144572
While some of this stuff looks interesting, I would really like to see Netflix produce an original animated series in the vein of Avatar: The Last Airbender. That would be nice.
>>84147858
http://lineboil.com/how-much-does-an-animated-tv-episode-cost/
Why would the prices have dropped so much that something like Voltron can now be done for under $100k?
>>84147840
OLM is doing the Kong show, they have never been good (but they do have the talent).
>>84147906
>Simpsons
Bloated pay checks to tolerate shitty scripts.
>Nick
TMNT and ONLY TMNT, Avatar was at a million but most of that was only spent on plane trips to China & celebrity pay checks, only $200,000 was spent on the show it self and Korra was only $200,000-300,000 a episode (for the most part for Mir)
>Drawn Together
IP licensing, what is spent on the show is much lower then that.
>Average American Animated Half-Hour
Budgets from older shows.

That's a 4chan flaw, not something /co/ specific.
>>84148093
Again, it's been debunked.
>>84148008
It doesn't matter what they spend the money on. The budget is what it is, end of story.

>tfw people like this actually exist
>>84148065
>>84148105
Eat a dick
>>84148121
YES IT DOES! At $500,000 we should be getting not only near feature quality animation that is 100% done in the States but also a full score 30 piece orchestra that is individual scored for every episode.
>>84145001
>Tulio and Miguel adventures pre-El Dorado or after the movie
All my money
>>84148207
Yeah, maybe you should be. But you aren't. If they have a budget of $1,000,000 for an episode and spend 80% of that on voice acting then that's just how they used the money. That was the budget and that's how they used it.
>>84148257
Yea, no, it's one thing to deal with shitty scripts but if you are starting up a million bucks means you stay in the US, fully animated and a 70 piece orchestra that is individual scored for every episode.
>>84147111
>You know, Bojack, one day that's gonna be the actor's whole job one day. Just sitting in a chair for 10 minutes then, six months later, an appearance on Leno.
>>84147385
All they'd need to do is throw the original film up onto Netflix ahead of time and kids would be caught up.
Sort of like what Nickelodeon is doing right now uploading all of Hey Arnold onto Netflix ahead of The Jungle Movie.
>>84148303
Nobody is doing that.
>>84148359
But they should.
>>84147725
78, but I'd assume so. That's the order for all the Dremworks shows so far.
>>84148395
If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.
>>84148425
Last I checked it was 52.
Yeah, whatever netflix, just give me my season three of Bojack before I fucking kill someone.
>>84148354
It already is.
Dreamworks and Netflix are best friends right now so a large amount of their movie library is up there.
>>84146334
I've never seen Voltron or any mecha anime before this and I think it's great. Unfortunately the threads are full of gay shipping.
>>84144646
For the longest time I thought this was called Spirited Away. So whenever I'd hear someone talk about Spirited Away, I'd think "The movie about the horse really has that big of a fanbase?"
>>84148725
It'd be neat if the series kept up the whole none of the horses talk outside of spirit narrating his inner monologue.
>>84148652
You're delusional and the show is aimed only at fujos & SJWs.
We are trying to get rid of them.
>>84148880
Another distinguishing feature of Famicom is that he is eternally at war with fujoshi, and thinks that Japan is trying to get rid of them. Of course it's useless to explain how things really are since he is mentally ill.
>>84148880
Animaniacs will never, ever, ever, ever return
>>84148909
No, Japan is trying to get rid of the fujos when we are trying to get rid of the SJWs, if we work together we can redeem the industry.
>>84148456
Nope

>>84148976
Sure thing, Famicom. I'm sure it's all real in your head.
>>84145001
Anon, by pointing this out you have pissed me off. Of all their GREAT 2D films, they literally picked the shittiest one to make a series out of.
>>84148981
At least Voltron:LD is only $45,00-90,000 a episode.
>>84148999
I'm not him and it is real you sick fuck.
>>84149098
Oh, Famicom is also the one claiming unrealistic budgets for Voltron.
>>84149130
No he is not, seek help.
DreamWorks's other 2D shows are only $10,000 a episode.
>>84149166
$10,000 is enough to pay 10 animators $1,000 a month. Sounds legit, Famicom-kun.
>>84149217
Or actually that's not even true since production takes much longer than a month.
>>84149239
These are flash projects were talking about.
South Park is done in 1 to 2 weeks.
>>84149243
lol
>>84149217
Not him and those shows are made in flash.
After all South Park is only made with $1000-2000 a episode.
>>84149098
Do you feel frustrated knowing you have absolutely no power to bring back Animaniacs? Do you feel that nervous feeling in your chest whenever you share your delusions because you secretly suspect you're insane?
>>84149345
Where do you think you are right now?
>>84149304
TMS is bringing it back, end of story.
They were tweets about it last year.
No delusions, no insanity, just hard cold facts.
>>84144696
Good for him
>>84145269
Its not gay that green one is a girl
>>84148981
That said, the 52nd episode of Turbo ends with a slight nod implying finality.
It'd be nice if they had another season though.
With the shows having started adding DWA logos to their openings, it would feel like a shame for Titmouse to miss out on getting to do their own just because of timing.
>>84149548
Never would I assume that character is female in an anime.
>>84149410
You make me sad Senpai.
So I guess that means Dreamworks has its 12 slots filled.

Is this the western flcl
Is Comcast going to shit all over the blossoming relationship between Dreamworks and Netflix? Or will their love of money wun out?
>>84151345
Like, they can't really stop the deal they have right now for the 12 shows, but I don't know if they can keep it from being renewed?
Up until now Dreamworks' attitude had always been this is an amazing deal beneficial to both parties that they'd love to extend, so I don't know what happens next.
>>84149410
Animaniacs is not coming back, end of story.
Not today, not tomorrow, not in the next decade.
>They all already have entries in Netflix's library so you can add them to your watchlist.

>>84150568

>>84148880
Fujoshi are literally the same exact thing as any male otaku
>>84152079
No they are not.
>>84151345
Well, DWA benefits from being on Netflix compared to Hulu (that Comcast co-owns), since the latter is only in the States, while the former is global.
DWA's deal with Netflix extended recently, so they'll be doing good for a long time. When it finally ends, maybe Comcast's NBCUniversal will launch a kids channel of its own, and slowly move the shows there.
