Mainstream ADULT ANIMATION
- here is an article about which shows are being picked up by which cable broadcasters…
“So it seems that if adult animation is fading from the traditional networks, cable is picking up the banner for a younger audience who only knows an age with The Simpsons and is looking for something a bit edgier. With more and more animation saturating the mainstream, by the time Gen-Xers are collecting social security the Disney-fied stigma on animation may be a distant memory” quoted from AWN
The question remains – why is it so hard to successfully pitch adult animated cartoons? Do our shows necessarily have to appeal to some pre-conceived idea of what the Gen-X demographic wants to see?
