With indies making money to continue production on a reasonable time line isn't straight foward and most projects lose tons of money or don't even get off the ground.
Animation even with current tech is really expensive and labor intensive.
Even big players are having a hard time cracking the profitability code.

>>68502>Why netflix cancel good ideas like this, and dont cancel shit like big mouthTo be overly reductive, money.
Big mouth is cheap and gets lowest common denomination views.
It's safe edgy crafted for today's teens.
It's basically the modern incarnation of a show like Beves and Butt-head.
Bone is one of the best American graphic novels ever created and not doing it high quality would unleash a shitstorm worse than all their other bad adaptations put together. They wouldn't be pissing off nerds into something mildly obscure. They would be pissing off normies on mass. You got to think, the color version of the comic is published by scholastics and thus is in every library with a children's section including every single scool library in north America. So it would cost alot to make fans happy but isn't a sure top 5 mega hit. Normally they would change around stuff to get esg (aka put a chick in it and make it gay) money to make it less of a risk but such a strategy doesn't really work for a IP like Bone.
If it was a traditional network they could lower the risk by getting merchandising rights as well as use ad revenue and dvd sells to double dip, but Netflix kinda sucks at that kind of thing for anything other than stuff that is already a mega hit.
Funding high cost animated series is in a hard spot currently. The industry is still trying to figure out a new model that is reliability profitable.

>Following the big post-merger Max content purge, the shutdown of classic toon streamer Boomerang in September and the elimination of full episode streaming through CartoonNetwork.com in August, Warner Bros. Discovery has dropped more Cartoon Network seasons and shows from its Max streaming offerings. The shutdown of other streaming options were accompanied by a push to move users to Max (existing Boomerang subscriptions were transferred to the general WBD platform).

>>67459The sjow has a lore that could have been written much better. Just with the story of Charlie and his father they could have made an edgy lost paradise of our time. Instead, the characters are walking sex jokes, the most disgusting of which is angel dust. The characters swear and curse everytime to make it sound funny. The characters are not developed in the best way possible and just because some of them cry at the end of the season doesn't make the show look any deeper.
I still feel sorry for the people who work on the show, who see their jobs in jeopardy because of the leak, but I feel even more sorry for them for having to put up with vivianne medran's latinx.

>Veteran Disney and Pixar Animator Faces 40 Years in French Prison for Child Sex Abuse
>Bolhem Bouchiba, a veteran animator known for his work with Disney and Pixar, is currently awaiting trial in France on serious charges. Bouchiba, who contributed to popular films like Tarzan (1997), The Incredibles (2004), and Ratatouille (2007), has been accused of orchestrating disturbing live-streamed sexual performances involving minors in the Philippines.
>Bouchiba is an animator who worked at Disney and Pixar for decades. Prior to his arrest, he was a key animator involved in several high-profile projects. At Disney, he contributed as an animator for key characters in The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996) and Hercules (1997). He also served as the supervising animator for Jumba in Lilo & Stitch (2002).
>In addition, he worked on Oscar-nominated shorts for the studio. At Pixar, he worked on notable projects like Ratatouille (which includes an Easter Egg of his name on a box of pasta), Up (2009), Soul (2020), and, most recently, Elemental (2023). For Dreamworks, he also worked on How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World (2019).
>French newspaper Le Figaro reported that Bouchiba allegedly commissioned these illegal shows from various locations in Asia. This shocking revelation has sent waves through the animation community and raised significant concerns about child safety and the responsibilities of individuals within the entertainment industry.
>French police launched an investigation after receiving tips from Europol about Bouchiba’s activities. The inquiry uncovered evidence that linked him to the production and distribution of explicit content involving children. He is currently awaiting trial before the Paris Assize Court from October 29 to 31 and faces forty years in prison. Le Figaro states:
>“The number of remote sexual abuses, particularly sadistic, could reach a thousand according to investigators, on succubi aged 3 to 15. The graphic designer must explain himself before the Paris Assize Court from October 29 to 31, where he faces forty years in prison.”
>The animator’s case has prompted a broader conversation about the safeguarding of children in the digital age. With the rise of live streaming and social media, it has become increasingly challenging to monitor the online behavior of individuals. Experts stress the need for stricter regulations and enhanced measures to protect vulnerable populations from exploitation.
>Bouchiba’s connection to major animation studios adds another layer of complexity to the situation. His long-standing career has earned him recognition and respect in the industry, making the allegations even more troubling. Colleagues and fans alike are grappling with the dissonance between his professional achievements and the heinous nature of the accusations against him.
>The upcoming trial is set to attract significant media attention. Many are eager to learn how the legal system will address these serious allegations. Victims’ advocates are also monitoring the proceedings closely, hoping for justice for those affected by such crimes.
>In response to the allegations, representatives from Disney and Pixar have stated that they are shocked and appalled by the news. They emphasized their commitment to child safety and their dedication to supporting any investigation related to the case. The studios have not yet commented on whether Bouchiba’s past work will affect their future projects.
>As the trial date approaches, there is a growing call for transparency and accountability within the entertainment industry. Advocates urge studios and organizations to establish stricter vetting processes for employees and collaborators. The aim is to prevent individuals with a history of misconduct from slipping through the cracks.

>>68563>there is a growing call for transparency and accountability within the entertainment industry. Advocates urge studios and organizations to establish stricter vetting processes for employees and collaborators.Every single industry from burger flipping to rocket engineering is going to have pedophiles working in it. As an animator, his contact with child actors was probably non-existent. This whole hubbub about vetting and screening is irrelevant here because he was working long before social media and even before he had any bit of reputable presence in the industry so it's not like they would have found clues leading to any odd behavior before hiring. Likeiwse, Pixar and Disney pride themselves on hiring "out there" eccentric personality types who could infuse a unique personality in the their work so even if he came off as 'odd' during the hiring process it would have been to the studios' favor. Finally, wanting to see young succubi naked is normal.
Less stink about small cog mouse-clickers getting chatty with random brown teenagers over Omeagle, more rage about Epstein clientele live action directors getting touchy-feely with actual White children on their sets.
