Hopefully this is the moment the adults wake up to the fact that DIE and CRT are hitting their bottom line and ESG funding only goes so far.
I think, frankly, that the whole "cartoons are for kids" idea needs to end. They never really were; animation is divorced from reality in a way that even just live TV isn't. Kids aren't able to fully understand that, which is why it's so easy to use cartoons to sell shit to em. Toys or morals or cigarettes.
Netflix in particular seems to have a real problem with the line between kids and adults and their animations jump all over it.
I'd like to see Netflix stop marketing to kids and instead act like an indy production company where anyone can get publishing help for their projects for a cut of the revenue. Make a ton of random crazy shit and see what works.
When we grew up in the 80s or 90s.. cartoons were pretty grimy and filled with dirty adult jokes that kids dont understand. But its done in such a way that both kids and adults can watch it together.

That's the thing, they were doing something like this. These cunts just took too long to get their projects out and it was such low quality, Netflix purged the whole lot of them.
The idea of animation being "for children" only started becoming a thing when the powers that be realized they could created what were effectively 22-minute long toy commercials and pump them directly into your living room. When animation started becoming a thing, it was made with adults in mind because you actually had to go to a cinema and pay money to see them.
