Whedon talks about Buffy animated
WizardUniverse.com had an interview with Joss Whedon and talked with him about his plans for a Buffy animated series. |
BENDIS: I don’t know. You have more insight on that than I do. [Laughs] Hey, remember the animated Buffy? That’s the first time we ever talked, was about the possibility of an animated Buffy. Whatever happened with that?
WHEDON: You know, uh, money. [Laughs] We just couldn’t get anybody willing to pony up for it. I couldn’t do cheesy animation. I needed it to be of the quality of “Batman: The Animated Series” or “Animaniacs.” Really tight. That’s the reason why there’s animation. We had a lot of low-budget people coming in. But if the quality’s not good enough, I have other things to do with my time. So more than likely, we were asking for the moon, but there was no network that was interested in going there. Between Fox and the networks, they could never come up with enough that would make a decent show. And interest wasn’t that high. You feel like you’re holding bags of money up to homeless men who are refusing them. You’re like, “But this is a no-brainer. This works!”
I had scripts by writers from the show that were hilarious because they were the scripts containing what we used to call our ‘Simpson moments.’ We’d pitch things for the regular show that were just too silly or ridiculous or offensive or whatever. Every one of those was in a script and they were hilarious.
