Behind The Elephant | adult swim
-
𝗧𝗵𝗲 ℰ𝓁ℯ𝕡𝕙𝕒𝕟𝕥 is an exquisite corpse. Not dead, not bad. It's a drawing game by 3 people.

In this vid, you see the process of how the special was conceived & orchestrated. You see -why- this concept is difficult. You get a peek at the music process. And the creatives see the final product.

Which, 𝗧𝗵𝗲 ℰ𝓁ℯ𝕡𝕙𝕒𝕟𝕥 was made by Titmouse. But by of soo many different animators.

Adult Swim’s The Elephant is one of the year’s most interesting animated projects—a three-part experiment from animation legends that actually pays off. Bold, strange, and rewarding. #TheElephant #AdultSwim

In two weeks, a new work from Cartoon Network Studios will arrive. Made by 4 of its best animators. In a story that bends the mind, and the story itself.

Four of #CartoonNetwork's best showmakers, Rebecca Sugar, Pat McHail, Pendelton Ward, and Ian Jones-Quarty, each have made a short cartoon together called #TheElephant. Ian & Rebecca on one part, Pat on another, and Pen on a third part. Each group not knowing what the other is doing. And neither do we, as details are not many.

The finished product will premier on [Adult Swim] 12/19. Then on HBO Max the next day.

Mike Sabin has come a long way since his MethCon days (and a con it certainly was);

https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/experts-warn-nz-drug-laws-outdated-as-calls-for-reform-grow-the-elephant/FTWPJIPOCRH2TLXOD56WNKF4XM/

But he's still stuck in a 20th century paradigm where there is a single 'just say no' approach to "drugs", as a general category. One that nobody would accept if it included 3 of the most dangerous recreational drugs; alcohol, tobacco and pharmaceutical opioids.

The 16 Oct edition of The Elephant covered the controversy over allowing under-14s in contact sports;

When you get to the Mum justifying the regular knocks to the head her son's sport involves, I want you to imagine that she's talking about letting the same under-14 year old son drink alcohol. Would those same rationalisations and whattaboutisms fly in that case?
