-There was Jozz Stokman's wonderful idea, a music series, a pure rock show for kids, with a list of possible musids, including some popur ones like the glorious Metallica highlighted in red, as mentioned ile above.

  -You're the sed person to ask me to hire this rock band. – said Billy.

  -Well, it's because of the incredible vibe they bring. – said Jozz.

  -The price is quite high, but we'll try to inquire about a price that fits. However, that's only for the first season, and I know that if it's a success, we sider the sed season. We'll evaluate the series based on profits and the value it gees. If possible, a third season might see the inclusion of the famous Metallica. – said Billy.

  -Is the series approved? – asked Jozz.

  -It is, but you o improve the delivery—smoother drawings, better backgrounds. You'll use the best for each se, incorporate the test teology, and we'll hire a scriptwriter to shape your ideas. There should be different subplots, and different storylines, each better thaher. – said Billy, from his seat in the audiovisual room.

  -So, the series will be delivered? – asked Jozz.

  -When it o be ready. You'll work hard to make a great series with your team of three. You seek advice; for now, you have a month to refine all the details. Your team will colborate with the great Lux Nation team on "The Iron Giant" movie and learn about the film process. Meanwhile, you'll work on your series. – said Billy.

  -Yes, sir. – said Jozz.

  -That's all for now. Your approved budget is 300,000, and more money be added depending on your performance. – said Raimon, formalizing the review of "Hardman Ssh."

  Jozz's eyes sparkled upon hearing there was already a budget for his TV series—a substantial amount. But the "buts" always came. He couldn't believe they could afford to hire a big musid, as he initially proposed for his series. However, that could be added ter.

  -The series looks fantastic. – said Raimon suddenly, referring to the drawings and material. The script, written by a young man, incorporated a hippie, punk, rocker, skater, baker, and alternative ambian an imaginative proposal about a music school. The script was incredible and would undoubtedly be at the top of the animatiram.

  -It's fantastic, very good, eveer than Anna's. But it be improved. We won't leave anything to ce. We have to wait for the iations within the pany to ba. But if I have to be clear, I would briallica myself, regardless of the price. I already have ideas on how to avoid excessive costs! However, some record bels might not be willing to work with us. – said Billy.

  -There's no doubt; you made me doubt at first, and I thought you didn't like the series. – said Raimon, hitting Billy on the arm. – But now that I see your idea, it's true; the pany has a lot of work to do this month and the . – said Raimon.

  The animation group came in, led by James Linkes, along with Glen Gooese, proposing a ree with the tales of the Grimm brothers and children's stories with different morals. They detailed one of the famous tales of the tury. Curiously, many stories that didn't belong to the Grimm brothers were included, but that was a study for ter. Disney adapted many of these books into great movies.

  -Well, the script is the inal book. – said James Links.

  -Animating the story word for word. – asked Billy.

  -Exactly as it's written. I would like to create other versions, but I realized that it could touch the is of other animated films. But if we animate the story word for word, the story ges! The cht for the Grimm brothers' stories is in the publiain, and nothing is worth more than the work they already did. – said James Links.

  Submitting the fantastic sketches closely aligned with realism, a drawing teique that emphasized the colors of the story over the color schemes used for the series, giving it an older look.

  - you do this in animation? – asked Billy, surprised.

  -Oh, unfortunately not. It's just a ceived idea. I want to make the first episodes in a theater produ style, portraying some ses with an opening, the curtain is drawn, and an ending, closing the curtain. We'll adopt a style used by Hanna-Barbera and old Disney. – said James Link.

  -Episode duration? – asked Billy.

  -Twenty minutes. – he replied.

  Another amazing idea that surprised him. If they could produce first-css animation, the series might hold value feions.

  -Forty-minute episodes. It's better to schedule an hour-long program. Let's pretend we're making a movie. – said Billy frugally.

  James Link swallowed. – The iment would be costly. – he said.

  -I'll participate myself. We need a specialist team, and it only be done when the Gargoyles series is done. I'll evaluate the shots, and we'll work together. We'll work on the backgrounds for now and then the characters. – said Billy.

  -We'll talk traham and John Lasseter. – said Raimon, noting Roy Graham as the sed-third in and. This gentleman had rich experien Disney animation, brought in by John Lasseter himself, along with Bob Schooley and Jerry Simmons.

  James Link's eyes lit up with something close to smiles.

  -The initial budget is 700,000 to create a pilot of three episodes. – said Raimon, noting again in his review of what they should and shouldn't do.

  -We'll start right away. I have a hunch, but my favorite tale is Bluebeard, so I'll begin with that one. – said James Link.

  But he was interrupted.

  -I like the viyle. Let's see if we add that style to 2D animation. I'll talk to Pixar to improve the 2D program and add new features. – said Billy.

  Even Raimon opened his mouth in surprise at Billy's annou.

  -Isn't it excessive? - questioned Raimon. Seeing the excessively high budget for the pilot, which would surely extend, the cost of the series would be, acc to quick estimates, double that of Gargoyles. It broke the mold, costing a total of 8 million dolrs for the first season of 47 episodes.

  First, they hired a specialized soundtrack that charged a million dolrs but did a spectacur job. From the chill of violins and pianos to orchestras, they used all kinds of instruments to give the series a suitable reality. Adding a bit more for advertising to be do its premiere, the value of 70,000 per episode is not a trivial price.

  For the X-Men and Spider-Man series, which require a lot of work, they paid a little less and are produg almost 80 episodes per series, which is not negligible.

  -It's not, don't worry. If I have to make money, I will. But James Link's idea is revolutionary. We must take ownership. With a bit of work, let's not only revolutionize ics, as has already been do also animation. down; I want to double Jozz's budget to 900,000, just for the pilot. – said Billy.

  -All right, all right. – said Raimon.

  Unbeknownst to them, Billy had unwavering fiden The Lion King and its success on the ss. The animation war had caused a sensation among the Ameri audiehe New York Times had received some gifts to ighe fuse and decre in favor of The Lion King, followed by some reted news programs.

  -I see. With the budget allocated for The Iron Giant movie, if we fail with The Lion King, I'm afraid to say that we'll stall the pany's flow for the hree years, which is the time we allow for our recovery. Also, your new c book pany will start operati month. We've already printed a million copies. – said Raimon.

  Lux Paint, a newly born pany, begaing items for sale, such as c books, trading card albums, and collectible cards. A small iment in the eyes of the rge iments made in Animation.

  for all of you, make the list, a series and an animated produ of low quality, cost the whole series between 300,000 dolrs to 700,000 dolrs, the whole series, plus some extra, but let's say that the quality is at the level Johnny Bravo, dexter, which do not require much difficulty and design, some other series, have a value per episode of 40,000 dolrs, and that is a great produ, the most expensive series of the history of which I know the episode is around a value of 210. 000 dolrs, now to make a series, is different from a movie because, the expenses of the movie are added, to publicity, distribution... others more, that is to say, a movie of 10 million dolrs, cost 7, but this is added other expenses. if the movie is not transmitted in emas, the profit is not so much, with the arrival of the ptforms streaming is different, but it tinues being a but.
