At Disney TVA And Elsewhere

"Autumnal" was the word for the studios yesterday afternoon; everyone was heading off to turkey day. But I went through Disney Sonora and Warners anyway....

Warner Bros. Animation was quiet, awaiting its move back to Burbank. Skeleton crews on a few production tailings, mucho empty desks (as we previously posted, the company will be doing 4-5 series in the spring, along with some dvd features. No word yet on the upcoming titles or subjects)...

At Disney Sonora, thirty-nine new episodes of "Mickey's Clubhouse" have been greenlit, and staffers told me production boarders start coming back to work on the project in early December. A year's worth of work on the show is anticipated.

The other returning series now getting underway is "Emperor's New School", with 19 new episodes...

39 episodes in one year?!

That's what I got told. (Admittedly, the artist who told me might be a trifle optimistic.)

Probably it will be somewhat longer than that. OTOH, I know studios who do thirteen in 4-5 months.

To Anonymous,
I think you misunderstood. Steve was referring to the boarding, not the entire production. Last year the board artists worked 6-7 months on 25 episodes. In that context, a full year for 39 episodes seems positively leisurely.
