Disenchantment New animated show from Matt Groening Netflix 2018

Is that the first art teaser we've gotten so far?
When they announced the project I hoped it would be something grounded like classic Simpsons but it's clearly not. I'm very curious if it will be a good show.
It seems to be a reverse Futurama. I know Bill Oakley and Josh Weinstein, the showrunners for Mission Hill and season 7 & 8 of The Simpsons are working on this too, which makes me optimistic about it.
Quality over quantity, I guess. And I have a feeling Netflix wants users to binge shows quickly (8 to 10 episodes) so they can move onto the next show.
Didn't they announce it as a fantasy show? What made you think it'd be grounded? Or maybe I'm misinterpreting what you mean by "grounded like classic Simpsons"
Someone's described them and listed the directors for each episode, the demon looks like a very simple hierogylph
3 less than a Marvel Netflix show which would be floundering by the 9th episode.
Only thing I remember from the initial announcement was "Groening is doing a cartoon for Netflix" with no specifics whatsoever. Maybe I missed the details.
What I meant was vaguely set in the real world. The premise sounds a bit wacky. Of course that doesn't mean it can't be good.
Ah that would make sense then
Yeah I've been very curious to see just how out there this is. Hopefully we get a trailer soon or something if they're finally starting to tease the art.
Unless it's getting a surprise release beforehand, I would expect a trailer during Comic-Con.
Im there for Oakley/Weinstein. I honestly don't know what kind of input Matt Groening ever had on Simpsons and Futurama after the first few years. I don't know if he's responsible for the good stuff or the bad stuff. Sometimes I worry that he thinks all seasons of the Simpsons up till now has been quality shit. Id like to believe he secretly disowns it and is just raking in the cash.
Fantasy comedy seems a lot harder than Futuristic comedy. With Futurama/Back to the Future 2/Lisa's Wedding they took aspects of the current day and then extrapolated those in a ridiculous way to great comedic effect. Is this going to have celebrities playing themselves, pop culture references, and wizards on Instagram and shit?
That's Bart and the babysitter he fell in lvoe with that one time.
I would expect a similar format to Critical Role/HarmonQuest/Adventure Zone where it'll be fantastical settings with modern sensibilities.
It's weird that the DnD wave came back around.
Eat my pantaloons!
I'd say she looks more like his Russian piano teacher he crushed over that one time. She even has the same bangs.
