How is WB Animation dealing with the Coronavirus? People are working at home and does it affect animation outsourcing in Korea?
It’s all being figured out as we go. The priority is to keep everyone safe. I don’t know what’s going to happen long-term.
What is the episode length gonna be for jellystone? would it be the same like Chowder and Harvey Beaks being 11 minutes long, or would the episode time length be longer?
Same as those. 11 min.
Will we be seeing the Teen Angels and the Neptunes in Jellystone?
Yes!
What do you think of Yo Yogi, the previous show to feature Yogi released almost 30 years ago?
I think it’s amazing and I guarantee we will 100% make it cannon in this show.
Do you believe in Cargo doors? (Super excited for Jellystone BTW)
I mean... I believe they exist?
I assume Jellystone is gonna be great because your other shows were also great
Never assume anything and you won’t be disappointed.
I distinctively remember on the official Chowder website, it was playing a version of the theme in the background with JUST the children singing the song, rather then the characters and I remember being shocked when the kids sung "you share a big peace for everyone" for Schnitzel part I vividly remember trying to tell everyone this information back then, but no one would believe me, so thank you for reaffirming me that I was not crazy
I always liked that version with the kids singing, but it felt right with the characters doing the lines.
What is your advice for a young creator who wants to do a show using iconic characters from animation with your own twist and of course respecting the true source material so can new and old fans enjoy the show?
Come at it with love, not reverence.
I just wanted to let you know one of my all time favorite scene of anything ever is the lollistop episode where chowder swallows all of the teeth and is firing it from his mouth and he looks terrifying it always makes me laugh when the little boy in the waiting room sees him and yells WHAT IS THAT. Thank you for creating such a cinematic masterpiece.
Carl Faruolo deserves credit for that! He boarded that episode!
Q: Hello! My question is that what advice would you give to an upbringing artist who has self doubt? How do I tackle this?
A: Self doubt is a very normal feeling. It’s always easy to feel like everyone is better, but art isn’t a race or a contest. It’s about growing and challenging yourself, expressing your emotions and thoughts, and interpreting the world. Your point of view and creativity is no less valid than anyone else’s. Technical ability is a different thing. That comes with lots and lots of practice and critical thinking. One approach you can take to improve is to keep a sketchbook that you will never show anyone else. Every day challenge yourself to draw something you struggle with, like cars, anatomy, buildings, clothes, etc. Once you get to the end, look back and see the progress you’ve made. This is only for you, so there’s no pressure of judgement. All you need to feel is that you ended stronger than you started! I hope this helps!
Will Jellystone be just Furry Animals only?
There will be shaved animals too.
Hello Mr. Greenblatt! Love your shows! You're probably sick of people asking about Chowder but, how do you feel about Lil' Nas X using Chowder as sort of his "thing" (using parts of the cartoon in his Grammy performance, using Panini)?
Thanks! It’s extremely flattering. It makes me very happy to see how the show touched and inspired so many people.
Will secret squirrel be in jellystone? The same question again but with snooper and blabber
If the show goes long enough, everyone will be in it.
What do you think of Thundercats Roar?
What little I’ve seen makes me very happy. I love how silly, loose, and kinetic it is. I’m a fan of the design and sensibility, and it’s obvious it was crafted with a lot of love for the franchise. While I really liked the previous incarnation of Thundercats, I dig that this is doing a very different thing. It’s like how there can be multiple versions of Batman, some serious, some goofy, and one doesn’t diminish the other. There’s nothing wrong a show just wanting to be fun in a dumb way.
Is there an episode of Chowder that you always think back to as “Yes this is my magnum opus and the best episode ever produced”?
There are many episodes I look back at fondly. I think Shnitzel Makes a Deposit is one I’m especially proud of because I like making stories where I have a challenge. So doing a story about something super boring like standing in line and (hopefully) making it not boring is an achievement.
I sure hope Harvey Beaks will make an appearance in Jellystone
Nope, just HB characters.
Hello C.H. Greenblatt! I just wanna say thank you to you and your crew for creating Chowder,it was my all time favorite cartoon show ever! you have no idea how grateful I am to you and your work, Thank you so much! :D now to the question: who's your favorite side-characters from Chowder? mine's Kimchi!
For me I think it was Gazpacho. I liked writing him, and Dana Snyder was so damn funny.
10+ years later I still have This for That, This for This stuck in my head. Thank you so much for bringing Chowder into the world. Me and my boyfriend watch it still to this day and it brings nostalgic joy to us, it never gets old. ❤️
... I don’t remember the reference. But you’re welcome!!
Was Harvey's speech in Nightmaid a reference to Game of Thrones? (I don't watch Game of Thrones but Mum does and she thinks that Harvey's speech was similar to a line from GOT or something)
I don’t think it was, but I wasn’t watching GoT at the time, so I wouldn’t have caught it.
