The Mitchells vs. The Machines was one of the big hits of the year in the west. There have been some pretty good series and films released so far, but the larger industry is going through a bit of an upheaval in an effort to ensure its workers get proper pay, along with more respect from the rest of the entertainment industry. The cancellation of the animated adaptation of Jeff Smith's acclaimed graphic novel Bone, as well as a number of other animated series, has raised questions about the state of western animation.
Sam Register, the president of the Cartoon Network, talked about his plans to make the network a place where creators can thrive in a recent interview. Because he is the head of animation at Warner Bros., studios have been signing creators to cross- studio overall deals, meaning that if you make your own original series on Cartoon Network, you could wind up. Register suggested that you can do that. We also have a studio for that. Having a suite of studios allows us to have a different approach when talking to talent.
We Bare Bears and Craig of the Creek will soon be getting their own animated features, as well as a film and follow-up series for the Cartoon Network. The original series have helped the network stand out over the last decade. Register admitted to having a great reverence for WB's old animated slate, but emphasized his responsibility to the creators of the future. That isn't taking into account shows like Genndy Tartakovsky's Unicorn: Warriors Eternal.
Both Fight Girl and Driftwood are just pieces of a larger game that includes the upcoming remake of the cartoon series, which will eventually lead to the creation of hit 90s shows like Powerpuff and Courage the Cowardly Dog. He hopes that the show will celebrate animation by opening the air as much as possible, along with the goal of partnerships and celebrating diverse talent such as Black Women Animate. If Register has his way, everything he has planned will ensure the network's success for audiences and creators in the years to come.
