This man was single-handedly 90% of my childhood
-
"Nobody cares about fluid or smooth. You want great acting, you want good jokes, good stories, good characters." That single-handedly is the best message an animator can give. While looking good and smooth is nice, the facts that bring life to the animation are what matters. Genius Mr. Tartakovsky.
-
I love that even after decades doing animation as a career, he still says ‘I like to draw’
-
Clone Wars, Powerpuff Girls, Samurai Jack, Dexters Lab and the list goes on, what a living legend
-
You can tell how much he loves his profession by how animated he is.
-
One of the best cartoonists currently living, no doubt in my mind
-
Dude barely touches the paper with the pencil and the sketches already look alive and show emotions. This man is a legend.
-
Gendy was behind half the shows that made the Cartoon Network golden age. This man is a legend.
-
How is a man thats so clearly the goat of his industry be so chill and humble.
-
as someone who works in the industry I cannot tell you how badly this needed to be out there. there are so many misconceptions about how productions are usually made especially for television/streaming and hearing "nobody cares about fluid or smooth" was such a refreshing take that even hardcore veterans seem to keep forgetting. and my man here just laid it out plain and simple. much thanks, Tartakovsky <3
-
Genndy Tartakovsky, at this point, is one of the most prolific and influential animators and writers working today. Just check out the number of shows he's done. It's absolutely a terrific career he has had.
-
Everything this guy touches is GOLD. Easily the most influential artist since Disney for my mind. I’ve felt this for 20 some years, especially with Primal. The ability to tell such deep stories without dialogue… Genndy is modern master.
-
Genndy’s portrayal of General Grevious is probably one of the highlights of the Clone Wars series.
-
The miracle of life as described by an animator: “The baby starts as a pile of mush”
-
This interview needs to be at least 3 times longer... I didn't realise he was such an eloquent and approachable person
-
The visuals on Samurai Jack have always been incredible, not to mention the depth of the story itself. Even as a kid, it just had a different feel to it than the other animated shows I binge watched. Never knew this was the guy behind it all, thank you mister Tartakovsky for making countless of childhoods better entertained.
-
As an animator myself, it really cracked me up when he just gave up trying to explain “rigging” 😂 Very relatable!
-
So amazing that they got Genndy for this spotlight, he’s one of the living masters of tv animation. Also, I wanted to give a shout-out to Sym-Bionic Titan, one of his shorter-lived shows that is still absolutely a blast, highly recommend seeking it out.
-
It really says something about Genndy Tartakovsky's passion for this art form when even a lot of his rough drawings are quite lovely to look at.
-
The three archers is such a great choice for his favourite samurai jack episode. Everything really was firing on all cylinders in that episode.
