@brainchild129.bsky.social I’m a bit confused. Why does Mappa only want to do adaptations

noahbossier.bsky.social @noahbossier.bsky.social · 9d

For those not reading btw the lines of these convictions:

2. Students w/ disabilities, queer students, POC don’t belong in schools & their history will be suppressed

NEW—Dept of Ed staff received an email from Sec. McMahon tonight with the subject, “Our Department’s Final Mission.”

McMahon writes that plan is, “to send education back to the states.” Notably doesn’t mention executive order like earlier draft, but some think it’s still coming.

@chevistian1.bsky.social but I heard reports from Pedro eboli that they only want IP based shows

If that’s the case im honestly baffled that dtva isn’t doing more original episodic shows and is just doing reboots and franchise based ip shows. Why not greenlight more orginals then

noahbossier.bsky.social @noahbossier.bsky.social · 12d

Because kids are watching YouTube and it’s too hard to compete with that.

noahbossier.bsky.social @noahbossier.bsky.social · 12d

I’m referring to the fact that there is barely any 6-11 episodic comedies even being greenlit anymore and everyone wants reboots for nostalgic 20 to 40 year olds. Because they are made to target nostalgic adults. I’ve heard from sources that studios are hesitant to make 6-11 and 9-14

Shows rather than make their own. This is an oppurnity for indie animators to dominate the industry and change a new model for the better.

noahbossier.bsky.social @noahbossier.bsky.social · 13d

Studios are in debt and trying to sell themselves to tech companies but the new indie studios will become the new mainstream studios working with streaming services to license cool new shows and potentially dominate the industry. @doodley.org mentioned that most studios are now looking to acquire

The reality is that the mainstream studio industry of 1993 is permanently shrinking with new technology and new platforms. And I highly suggest not to pitch shows to major studios until you have a completed animatic with already proven viewership because this is the model going forward. The major

Major studio veterans are increasing shifting to indie animation like @pearllow.bsky.social @danaterrace.bsky.social Liza singer @genegoldstein.bsky.social Paul Scarlata and others. It’s a viable model that can be made sustainable.

noahbossier.bsky.social @noahbossier.bsky.social · 13d

Is. It puts the risk at the small indie studio rather than the major studios and they can just license the show or buy it out. This happened with @glitchprod.com Amazon prime deal and it’s going to become more common thoroughout the industry.

noahbossier.bsky.social @noahbossier.bsky.social · 13d

Currently in negotiations with several Major Studios to potentially become an orginal older skewing show on a streaming service. This being based off a proven animatic that got 4 million views is often where major studios are looking for with “new IPs”. This is what the new model is essentially

This essentially proves a project is successful and is essentially a prebuilt audience. @vivziepop.bsky.social pateron funded hazbin hotel pilot and Amazon deal is a prime example of this but we have also seen it with most recently @kianamai.bsky.social animatic pilot IDWTBAMG which is

In other worlds executives are now looking at indie pilots and projects uploaded on YouTube to see if there are any promised hits rather than accepting pitches for originals. The video is at 23:44 mark which explains how it works.

Major studios have shifted to a new model. That is rather than develop new IPs in house they are wanting creators to make their own pilots on their own time with their own cash and once the pilot comes out and if it thrives it n YouTube get millions of views then the deals come in for orders.

Was almost exclusively marketed towards nostalgic fans of the series rather than a new show for kids to get into. The studios don’t know how to compete against YouTube and have essentially given up on doing so.

1

noahbossier.bsky.social @noahbossier.bsky.social · 13d

Because of this major studios have shifted to marketing shows to parents rather than kids and have only wanted reboots to target said nostalgic 20 year olds since kids don’t watch new non indie cartoons anymore(in large numbers). This is evident with the marketing of phineas and ferb revival which

That isn’t to say they don’t watch shows. It’s they tend to watch the viral trending shows like Ginny and Georgia and wensday rather than cartoons like kiff. Indie animation falls under these trending edgy shows that they like. And like Mr beast makes them feel mature and cool.

The amount of 6-11 and younger kids who are obsessed with horror games like FNAF and poppy playtime while also consuming indie shows like digital circus reveals an entire demographic who used to watch major studio cartoons are no longer touching even paid streaming services like Disney plus

This is because indie pilots are much more easily accessible and don’t require a paid subscription service to watch. Many adults don’t want to pay for a subscription service for their 8 year old and just dump them in front of YouTube. Indie pilots and horror games are easy to access as a result.

noahbossier.bsky.social @noahbossier.bsky.social · 13d

And that’s not even mentioning things like amazing digital circus or garrys mod YouTube animations which get way more viewership than every major studio cartoons. This is the reality that Hollywood studios are facing. They are still trying to make the old model work when it’s not 1995 anymore.

Some of these indie pilots and indie creations even outperform major studio cartoons in YouTube views. For example knights of Guinevere got 10 million views in less than 24 hours and art of murder got 1 million views in less than a week. Meanwhile stugo videos get 12k views per video

Over most major TV Y7 rated studio cartoons which is why major tv cartoon that’s not a reboot has lasted such a short. Streaming is not profitable because most people binge one show then cancel, plus the fact that ad dollars are going towards YouTube creators and social media.
