Netflix's new animated series include shows based on the graphic novel "Hilda," the videogame Skylanders, and the Dreamworks feature "Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron."
The post Netflix Announces 6 New Animated Series appeared first on Cartoon Brew.
Whaaa-at!!! When I first saw this profile of Luke PEarson in The New Yorker, I was pleased as punch. I called Pearson one of the best emerging cartoonists when I first saw his work four years ago and since then he's definitely emerged are a best selling author. But then I got to the third paragraph with the huge news that Pearson's Hilda series is being adapted as a 12-episode animated series set to debut on Netflix in 2018. The series will be based on the first four Hilda books, all published by Nobrow. The series will be produced by Silvergate Media (The Octonauts and Peter Rabbit.)
Oh, man! Oh, MAN! I loved the first Hildafolk book that Luke Pearson put out through Nobrow last year (and so did my 3-yr-old daughter: “Read it again!”) I can’t wait to crack open this new book, “Hilda and the Midnight Giant”. My favorite phrase in the whole teaser: “the first volume in this new series”! SERIES!
(via Nobrow – Hilda is coming…)
Wow! This is very exciting! I’m a big fan of these comics and I think they’ll look great animated!
