The Creator of THE GRIM ADVENTURES OF BILLY AND MANDY Announces New Projects On the Way
Maxwell Atoms is an American animator probably best known for creating The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy for Cartoon Network. The show was fun to watch and definitely has a sizable fanbase. In a recent Tumblr post, Atoms announced that he’s planning to start a new animation project in the wake of the WGA strike. He shares that he’s currently torn between two projects with one being more kid-friendly but not made just for kids while the other is definitely geared towards adults as a dark comedy. Here’s the post from Atoms:
What with the Animation industry in disarray and the WGA on strike, it's looking like a dim year ahead for entertainment.
So I'm gonna do a thing.
It's going to be a "cheap and easy" thing (at least by my standards) geared toward putting out more content with less quality. Call it "The Hanna-Barbera Effect".
I'm down to a couple of projects I'm choosing from, with one being a kid's show and one being an adult show. The kids' show would fall into the Billy & Mandy "for more than just kids" range, ideally. The adult show would be a very dark comedy. My current plan would be to put whichever I choose on YouTube.
I know it's incredibly vague so far, but is there one you'd rather see over the other? Part of the decision will come down to which (kids or adult) seems like less of a nightmare and is less likely to get me demonetized. But I definitely want to keep you all involved!
Sadly, Atoms doesn’t provide any additional information about what would happen in either show, but no matter what it is, I’m sure fans will be excited to check it out. Are you excited to see what Atoms comes up with?
