And yet CN still has more shows that I find interesting than any of the other kid's cable networks. ... sorry, I.... didn't get back to this thread until now...
There WAS NO differentiation for different TYPES of audiences in 1930! Everyone watched the same cartoons. The advent of television probably made everything worse.

As I've said before, there's a lot of merchandise of theatrical cartoons that was marketed towards children, and close to none for adults... so I find it hard to believe that cartoons were not seen as kids' stuff.
Then again, those guys did have prior animation experience, and studied the art form. One of them even worked with Joe Murray (who was apparently really happy to see one of his students get his show picked up).
Given that there isn't any What A Cartoon or Oh Yeah Cartoons type project nowadays, and he has no experience actually animating anything, I have doubts.

"They say I'm old fashioned, and live in the past, but sometimes I think progress progresses too fast."...... studying what AREA of animation? We have seen him draw (which isn't a lot to phone home about), and animating on your own is exceedingly harder! And with the motive Enter has with this pilot, I'd say he wants this to have good animation for what he is capable of!
He'd probably do well to find someone with animation directing experience for this.

The reason he wants to find the vas before the animation is simple. You have to have voice work for the animaters to draw over. I assume he just wants to get the voices done first and then look for animators. Or hell, maybe he already has animators on his project and he's been doing behind the scenes stuff without telling us.
Do we have to know every single thing about this project?

People generally don't want to think about anything really old except in stereotype form.
