Animated Satire

Various streamers continue to order animated series due to the high cost-benefit ratios ...

... HBO Max has greenlighted The Prince, a satirical animated comedy series from Family Guy producer Gary Janetti, who also voices the title character, and 20th Century Fox TV. ...

Written and executive produced by Janetti, the series will follow a cartooned 6-year-old Prince George, voiced by Janetti, spilling the royal “tea” on his family, followers and the British Monarchy. ...

Animated series of all types, adult satires, kids' adventure shows, straight-ahead comedies, are being produced in abundance and jobs for artists continue to multiply because these shows collect lots of eyeballs that boost streaming companies' bottom lines. Netflix discovered this truth when it partnered with DreamWorks Animation TV. It also found out that young viewers who watch cartoons on its platform stick around to become older viewers who watch Netflix live action.

In this competitive era of Disney-Plus vs. HBO Max vs. Netflix, any edge streaming companies can gain against one another counts for a lot. And streaming companies know that animation is a way to get an advantage. One Rick and Morty or Family Guy counts for a lot. And this is why streaming companies continue to underwrite the production of new animated half-hours.
