"Genndy Tartakovsky is the creator of hit Cartoon Network and Adult Swim animation series like Dexter's Laboratory, Samurai Jack, Star Wars: Clone Wars and Primal. He was also an important crew member on The Powerpuff Girls. With a CV like that, you might think he would find it easy to get studios to commit to his projects, but it seems not."
"Genndy's resorted to leaking test footage from a movie called The Black Knight to try to prove to Sony Animations that there's an audience for it. And the tactic seems to be working, as thousands of fans praised the footage and call for Sony to make the movie (see our pick of the best animation software and the best laptops for animation if you're looking to make your own project, with or without anyone else's backing). "This might get me in trouble....But gotta try a new strategy," Genndy wrote on a post on Instagram on Friday as he threw caution to the wind and leaked the animation test from his own movie."
Genndy Tartakovsky, creator of influential animated series, leaked test footage from a proposed feature, The Black Knight, to demonstrate audience interest. The Black Knight is described as a more adult animated action movie about a 14th‑century knight who controls a 20‑foot suit of armor using ropes, pulleys and levers. The leaked clip generated rapid fan enthusiasm, with tens of thousands liking and commenting and fans sharing the footage across platforms. Sony Animation has remained hesitant to commit despite the response, and fans publicly urged the studio to approve production.
