Why does it feel like he's one of the few creators right now who treats animation like a serious production and not just like an animated web comic him and his friends are making on a big budget?

Dominic Russell
He achieves a high standard balance of style and substance.
Charles Anderson
Who are the other few good ones? The only other that I can immediately think of is Paul Rudish whose doing Mickey Mouse. Funnily enough he also worked on pretty much everything Genndy has as well.

>But also creates gods
Can anyone stop him?

Craig McCracken is still doing good work. I know a lot of people here didn't care for Wander Over Yonder, but I think it had a lot of great cartooning that shows that aspire to be wacky cartoons like OK KO or Tig n Seek kind of fall flat at.
Josiah Long
He's a true and pure animator. He knows the entire process. He has done the process at every level.
Most showrunners now are really storyboarders, or writers, or comedians, or comic book artists, or designers, or any number of tangentially related fields. They're all talented in their own way, but they're not animators. At least, they're not the kind of animators who can sit down and traditionally animate a sequence by themselves. That requires a certain discipline and fortitude that we no longer foster or value.

Why in the FUCK isn't there a DAMN thread for Primal but Steven Faggaverse and even old Star vs threads are prevalent as all hell !?
Grayson Butler
He’s living breathing embodiment of kino.
Caleb Myers
Broad range of influences + Talented Animator + Unique, simplistic but expressive style + Experience on several different projects = Good shit
We had several threads when it was announced and just had one when the SDCC teaser dropped.

But Rebecca Sugar, Daron Nefcy, Dana Terrace, and Ian JQ have all animated completed shorts either during or sometime after college. They're pretty familiar with the process, too.

>They're pretty familiar with the process, too.
But they've never done it as a job.
Tartakovsky, McKraken, Faust, they've all done inbetweening on theatrical productions. You can know the ins and outs of animation, but doing inbetweening as a job builds a fortitude and mileage that is completely unrelated to knowledge. You're building calluses, figurative and literal.
This isn't a knock on the current crop of showrunners. The fact is traditional theatrical animation is pretty much dead in America. They never had the opportunity.
