I have a vision that I’ve personally been trying to advance for many years. For over two decades I’ve been striving for animation to reach the mainstream level for adults. Animation that is directed towards adults with high-concept story lines, about strong adult themes, told well and with eye-popping animation and special effects.
 
Whenever that begins to happen, the industry regresses back to where it was and starts parading out the singing animal side-kicks and princesses who only want true love. I have a great affection for Disney movies like Frozen and Tangled, but I’d love to see a renaissance of strong, edgy, mature animated films that hark back to the late 70’s and early 80’s when studios made provocative films like Heavy Metal and Akira.
 
There are a hundred animated cartoons for children on TV but there are no real animated shows for adults. Sure there’s a few goofy comedies here and there… Bob’s Burgers and Archer, but nothing with bite — nothing with edge — nothing hard-hitting like The Walking Dead or Game Of Thrones. A real platform to develop characters and ideas and take them to a place that only art and animation can take them.
 
It is my hope that my creation PERIPLANET is a step in that direction. I want to make it a fully developed universe that’s animated that adults and older teens can come to and grow with — a world that is unlike anything in TV and film. Where characters and scenarios are so out of this world, they can only exist (and be believed) in an animated world.
 
Come join me.

Thanks, A.J.
