    yeah Genndy did mess up the clone wars. He made Greivous way more badass than he was supposed to be.

    Despite never having spent much thought on Genndy, other than that instant his name flashes by before something I’m about to watch and know that it’s gonna be good. The joy of seeing that it was him this time, made me not only happy but also made me realize that he ‘s one on a very short of people I really am a big fan of… 🥰

    Wow, throwing animation nuggets of wisdom left and right!
    This is why Genndy Tartakovsky is a legend!

    Genndy’s portrayal of General Grevious is probably one of the highlights of the Clone Wars series.

  21. basquiatmo

    May 9, 2023 at 9:03 pm

    I’m glad that Genndy is still recognized. His contributions cannot be overlooked or understated.

    He’s a genius of animation, but I just want Gendy Tarkovsky to direct a live-action Action film; I think he would do such a great job

    Having grown up watching samurai movies et al., Kurosawa, Samurai Jack was such a fantastic riff on that while being totally original. Stil one of my favorite series ever!

  28. Kevin 2.1

    May 10, 2023 at 6:45 pm

    It was nice to watch him answer the questions, it would be nice to make the Star Wars shows longer.

    This man inspired so much of my art and storytelling, I’d listen to him give a full 3-hour lecture of him explaining his process and not be bored for one second.

  33. Erik Svahn

    10:53 The blind archers truly is a great episode.

    Clone wars!!!! His clone wars is the best star wars media outside the original 6 movies

  40. BREAKER CHANNEL

    May 10, 2023 at 8:01 pm

    This man Is a legend. He cool,creative,talented,simple minded and passionate! He also takes his time. He knows that If he focuses on the important areas in his animation projects,the rest(including money),wouldn’t be a problem for him. Most animators nowadays, don’t care about anything else but the money they make. They don’t care about how creative they should be!

  41. Pablo

    May 10, 2023 at 8:03 pm

    I’m sad Mr. Tartakovsky didn’t acknowledge Sym-bionic titan. It was my favorite show on Cartoon Network

    watching the “three blind archers” episode as it aired was the first time i realized that animation could be art. i’m so glad genndy picked it as his favorite samurai jack episode.

  47. Jin Raigami

    May 10, 2023 at 8:43 pm

    Don’t focus on fluidity. Lol. This is why Ghibli is the best. They have both fluidity and character, storyline, etc.

  48. si'sillyman

    May 10, 2023 at 8:53 pm

    i have an answer to the pantless characters questions, think of it this way, say you had a pet, a dog for example, what is the more intuitive and simple way you can dress it ? a top ? or pants ? i see these characters as creatures that doesn’t need clothes, and the top they wear is a plus to bring more character, they are generaly animals, and their clothes originaly are theyr furr

  49. Uncle Phil

    May 10, 2023 at 8:53 pm

    The ease he can draw all those expressive characters is awe inspiring

  50. Rachael

    May 10, 2023 at 9:18 pm

    His name was on every single one of my favorite cartoons in the late 90s and early 2000s, I always remember the uniqueness of his name❤

  51. Peter Stoate

    May 11, 2023 at 2:49 pm

    15:32 I think that was a Dexter Laboratory reference.

    When he said well I think that about wraps it up!

    When Mandark caught the squirrel then wrap it

  52. Joe

    May 11, 2023 at 3:16 pm

    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.

  53. pip lol

    May 11, 2023 at 3:33 pm

    these questions are dogshit

  54. Quinn Fowlie

    May 11, 2023 at 3:40 pm

    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.

  55. OneWoman Army

    May 11, 2023 at 3:55 pm

    This was great, love it! And yes please, characters, story and the heart of an animation are so much more important than everything looking all smooth and pristine! Love to hear it!

  56. Will Stewich

    May 11, 2023 at 5:01 pm

    I love genndy he is so talented

  57. Ian Soares

    May 11, 2023 at 5:04 pm

    Really great video! I was struggling with a chapter for my comic and Genndy just inspired me.

  58. Katium

    May 11, 2023 at 5:18 pm

    “Don’t obsess over fluidity” Unless you want the moment to feel dramatic in that way. For me, I’d want certain parts of the animation to be fluid for that particular reason. Basically use it in a way that’ll make you go “dude, it’s about to get real REAL quick!”

  59. Thiago Teixeira

    May 11, 2023 at 5:25 pm

    I love this man! Is he working on anything right now? Is there a streaming service where I can watch Primal?

  61. Quarm

    May 11, 2023 at 5:39 pm

    About the blink question.. it’s actually a lot more common for animators to over use blinks than to under use blinks. It can be a crutch.

  62. Jocelyn Suarez

    May 11, 2023 at 5:45 pm

    Man Gendy is great. If y’all ever get James Baxter that would also be just as awesome

    Doom lowering the toon shoe into The Dip is one of the more chilling and horrific death scenes in all of cinema.

    I’d definitely hesitate to show Who Framed Roger Rabbit to a young child!

    May 11, 2023 at 9:16 pm

    Why did I start tearing up at the end? Felt like talking with him face to face, over a beer, in a dive bar. Thank you Genndy for the wonderful childhood memories. Thank you for creating incredible, vast, funny, captivating, entertaining and also teaching universes. Thank you or being such an awesome human being.

    May 13, 2023 at 5:14 pm

    Gendy is the master of action
    The coreografy in battle scenes are the best among western animators
    But not only that
    He has the talent to show emotions whit only movement alone

    May 14, 2023 at 6:28 pm

    I’m honestly sad that Gennady didn’t introduce himself as the creator of Sym-Bionic Titan 😔 It being a tax write-off now makes it impossible to see through legal means but man it hurts that he can’t represent such a masterpiece…

    The question in the thumbnail is so braindead. I’m glad the dude gave correctional answer instead of giving any credibility to the opinion that guy was clearly trying to make a statement with in the form of a question.

    Asking the ‘difference between animation and cartoon’ is like asking the difference between a cow and milk or the difference between an orange and an orange tree.

    Ffs I’m tired of people taking a subcategory of something and acting like it’s in a completely different group than the overall category it’s always been associated with.

    Ya know he could have tried to explain rigging or more concepts with in animation, I can understand not being a good teacher so just admit it dude and this is literally called “Amimation Support”😂 he should be able to explain some of these concepts that are honestly not that hard to grasp

    Some that creates humor, action, adventure, romance, drama, and tragedy can be this so optimistic and thats why he is the goat for animation. Genndy just thinks of anything that he can do and poof its all animated and its a beautiful masterpiece. I wish him all the best for Unicorn, Primal, and possibly Symbiotic titan finale!!

    Can we stop this stupid “anime isn’t a cartoon” now? Spongebob is called “Western anime” in Japan. Tartakovsky himself says there’s no difference.

    Although STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS was a Cartoon Network original, Disney+ would still get “credit” for the cartoon. Star Wars should be the sole Lucas Films franchise purchased by Disney for possession. All other Lucas Films franchises should be “un-Disney”, so such cartoons would stream on the streaming service’s chief relative Hulu.
