Eddie Alcazar's new pilot, Bullet Time, pays homage to '90s cartoons like Liquid Television, featuring a character voiced by Eric Bauza. The show blends vibrant visuals and detailed animation reminiscent of Ren & Stimpy. After four years of production, Alcazar reflects on the challenges of achieving hand-drawn animation, which has become rare due to modern corporate influences in the industry. He collaborates with animators from the past, noting how studios have shifted towards more cost-effective, model-based animations, pushing aside the traditional artistry.
"It's so time consuming to hand-draw everything. They were able to do it in the '90s and have the budget and people to take that risk to achieve it..."
"I think changed in the 2000s when everything started becoming very corporate driven. It almost evaporated cartoons, in a way. Who's supporting cartoons that take risks now?"
