Genndy Tartakovsky Teases Plans for Animated Comedic Heist Series
Tartakovsky’s announcement, made at an Annecy studio focus for Adult Swim, was greeted with late enthusiasm by an Annecy audience.
Given Tartakovsky’s remarks came at a packed Adult Swim studio focus at this week’s Annecy Animation Festival in France, they came off as an effective pitch for backing from Adult Swim, which produced and aired the final season of “Samurai Jack” and “Primal.” They were made, moreover, in the presence of an Annecy audience, the most knowledgeable of animation publics, who reacted with applause and enthusiastic laughs. The Annecy showcase also sneak peaked the opening sequence of Takashi Shano’s “Rick and Morty The Anime” and “Women Wearing Shoulder Pads,” its first-ever Spanish-language series, a stop-motion show created by Gonzalo Cordova (writer on “Tuca & Bertie,” “Adam Ruins Everything”) and produced by Mexico City-based studio Cinema Fantasma (“Frankelda’s Book of Spooks”). News that Michael Cusack and Zach Hadel’s “Smiling Friends” – which the duo co-created and star in – was renewed for a third season was greeted with hearty applause at Annecy.
