CUSACK IS BACK!
good since almost every cusack work clears smiling friends
I will now watxh your reboot of Home Movies.
oh god more therapy animation?
Of course we will be watching "dad's house"
>>153451136>Warner was going to be bought by Netflix>Suddenly release late night video saying Smiling Friends is cancelled>Day after, news drops that Netflix dropped out of buying Warner Bros and Paramount is buying them>Now instead of being “too tired” to make more animation he almost immediately has a new show on NetflixI’m noticinggggg
Koala Man 2: Electric Boogaloo
>>153451253It’s not it
>>153451136Jesus, this dude is a fucking machine>Yolo>SF>Koala Man>Croc and Cube on his YouTube channel >As well as more Damo and Darren
>>153451136>no zachit will failhard
>>153451321It’s a slimeball industry
>>153451381Koala man was good and it should have gotten more seasons.
>>153451405Zach couldn't even run an 11 min show without "burning out"
>>153451405YOLO is better than SF
>>153451136Cusack is a work horse, good for him.
>>153451136>Smiling Friends praised for not being another generic family sitcom>Cusack goes to make a family sitconWhat did he meant by this?
>>153451554Just because a show is perceived as something, doesn’t mean the creator shares the same sentiment.
Glep Dog
this looks like a million shows made before. what's the hook?
>>153451136How long until Zach creates a new show?Goddamn Michael hopped back on the horse immediately. Hell, due to how long animation takes to make, he was probably working on this while s3 of smiling friends was going on
>>153451619michael cusack
>>153451651Watch Zach crawl back to oneyplays
>got poached by NetflixWhat a fucking rat.
>>153451136he abandoned smiling friends fortune for this shit, holy moly
>>153451772>>153451980Seethe
>>153451405After watching season 2 and 3 of Smiling Friends, I'm convinced that he was making it worse
>>153452105I do wonder what a show solely showran by Zach would be like
>>153451136>The series follows a boy who spends every other weekend with his dad after his parents' divorceSmiling Friends did this story already, and it didn't end well...
>>153451980if that's true>follow your heart, stop caring about the moneykino
>>153452149It'd never get finished
>>153451136Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm fuck yea fucken oaf
>>153451420https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Mmdillz7fcThese shorts were God tierEvery next iteration sucked ass though
>>153451420the parts written by cusack were good, the parts written by the FX nobodies he partnered with were dogshit
>>153451980The timing suggests he was already working on it
>>153451440>>153452105
https://deadline.com/2026/04/netflix-dads-house-adult-animated-series-michael-cusack-1236875319/Danger 5 and Italian Spider-Man people are involved
>>153451420Koala Man sucked, it was like it was aggressively trying to be still rated PG as much as possible. What a waste of Damo and Darren.
>>153452429It had the same problem as The Harper House where it didn't know what time it wanted. Overall it was family friendly but then they'd say fuck
>>153451136Meh
>>153452400>Danger 5 and Italian Spider-ManOh this will be great
>>153452477>The Harper HouseI thought we all agreed to act like that show never existed and didn't kill Brad Neely's career in animation.
>>153451651Zach seems like the kind of person to find showrunning to be exhausting, I wouldn't be surprised if he just relaxes for a while before doing less intensive projects
>>153451420I binged the entirety of Koala Man in a weekend (left it on in the BG while drawing). I didn't laugh, chuckle, or even exhale once.
>Cusack was working on Crocodile and Cube during production of the infamous 3rd season that was so stressful it drove creators to burnout>it depicts an unrewarding, creatively dead-end job with an inexperienced partner>said partner keeps throwing around new conflicting ideas because they sounded cool in his head, in contrast to his own pragmatic work oriented mindset>this discrepancy leads to them being unable to finish a project>even the titular characters resemble critters from SF more than Michael's typical human designs and are extremely Pim & Charlie coded (who the creators originally based on themselves)HOLY SHIT! CROC AND CUBE WAS AN ALLEGORY FOR MICHAEL CUSACK'S FRUSTRATIONS WORKING WITH ZACH HADEL ON THE SMILING FRIENDS SHOW
>>153454379>CROCODILE & CUBE>CHARLIE & PIM>ZACH & MICHAEL
>>153454379>Driving your employees to burnout by multitasking at the EP level
>>153451607Looking at this image gives me great vitality and strength
>>153451980seetheeat shitfaggotlollmao eventhings fucking endart is art
>>153454379Fuck that makes too much sense
>>153451980He probably made bank already, anything else he does can be done for fun or because he actually wants to do it
>>153451651>>153451670MORE ZACH KINO IN ONEYPLAYS! YES!!!
>>153454601I dont understand your post. Why are you defending him?
>>153451321it wasn't "cancelled" they just didn't want to make more, if it was cancelled they would of said it was cancelled.
>>153455236unlike his crews
>>153451136>yet another family sitcom that looks like every other family sitcomWestern animation is a fucking joke.
>>153452149you ever heard about Hellbenders?
>>153457531That was co-created by chris
>>153457637>implying chris actually did anything
>>153451980Netflix pays out more than Adult Swim.
>>153451136>>153451856>>153457573>>153457203Do we really need this many threads for this?
>>153458224smiling friends WAS the next Rick & Morty dude, this is important
>>153458224his new show pretty much confirm that ZACH AND MICAHEL FUCKING HATE EACH OTHER
>>153458224>Linking a 60-reply thread to a 3-reply threadJust let that one die, damn.
how much are you willing to bet that despite all the shit people are trying to stir, that zach appears as a voice actor anyway
Did Cusack just confirm YOLO was in fact cancelled after all?
>>153451321zach's just a lazy fucker.
>>153451136Well that confirms it, then. Michael Cusack would've been just fine making those final two Smiling Friends seasons before officially bowing out. Ending the show abruptly was all Zach's idea.
>>153459380TBdesu he's pretty good at that
>>153451136Most interesting thing about it so far is that fuckass dog off to the side
How does this guy shit out entire cartoons akin to how Justin Roiland would shit out cartoon pilots before Rock and Morty finally got picked up?
>>153451136If there's one thing Hollywood hates, it's a happy complete White family.
>>153454379It's your job as a creative partner to help your partner workshop their ideas
>>153461315It's not as hard as they make it sound it's just a grift
>>153451980Boysfag, Cusack was working on like four other shows during Smiling Friend's production and this was likely in concurrent production too if you consider the timeline.
>>153461368How the hell is the "grift", he's producing entire cartoons. Actual products.
>>153451136Aw ye? I was just watching Bushworld Advencha
Is Zach Haddel/Psychic Pebble, friend of known lolicon and convicted felon Shadman, a pedophile?
>>153451136This doesn't look interesting.
I love aussie bogan shit so much it's unrealI'd move to Straya if they got rid of spiders
>>153451670He never abonded them in the first place. He just got busy and couldn't appear as much.
>>153461380Employees make the cartoons
