BoJack Horseman creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg wishes the networks and studios would be “a little more courageous” on adult animation.
Noting today’s “industry contraction,” Bob-Waksberg said decisions by the gatekeepers are “being made out of fear” in the current landscape, which he “empathizes” with.
“I feel like there are a lot of artists and writers who want to do exciting things and kind of push the edges of what adult animation can be,” he told Deadline at Annecy. “I think it’s hard. You’d always rather take a safe bet than a riskier bet, but I feel there is more room in adult animation to be telling more stories than we currently are.”
Bob-Waksberg, whose 10-year-old Netflix hit BoJack Horseman redefined adult animation, noted that the contraction has hit genres across the board, leading to risk-aversion everywhere.
