we basically watch cartoons curry search
because now now you know before we only
had to concern ourselves like originally
when they came out there in less than a
minute now here's what happens and then
it's over you know type of thing you're
like boom one joke zinger you're out you
know like one gagging you're out and it
was great because it was a lot of fun it
was really fast and and then as we kind
of got to do it more and more we were
like you know looking we can expand a
little bit more get a little bit more
elaborate so there's weather like the
kind of season two or three if you can
even call them seasons and Happy Tree
Friends where we expanded to about three
minutes maybe even four but now for the
series we have we we're doing
seven-minute episodes and it's it's been
a real challenge just because to take
you know something that was originally
my concept was like a minute long and
just like kind of stretch it all out to
seven which is kind of tough
giving characters quirks it would be
more difficult to illustrate in 30
seconds or a minute that you know
petunia has OCD she has to spend her old
time cleaning up something until you
really got that joke and then the thing
would have to kill her like that not as
satisfying as having a slower build and
a big payoff but I think the coolest
part about it and also again it's part
of the challenge is now now we can
actually do kind of class more classic
three arc stories where we have kind of
like the setup and then you know kind of
like a release and then a bigger set up
in a release and final you know big
final crescendo the climax it allows for
a beef story it allows for a slower
build kind of a more gradual arc it
allows for character development which
is something that we'd have a lot of fun
yeah we've actually kind of done it a
you know we've tried all sorts of
different ways cuz it's like oh you know
we just have to try it but yeah there is
there somewhere you know we definitely
it always always still starts cute you
know that's like the classic four we
left a happy tree it always starts cute
we've had some you know some some
episodes where something happens right
at the beginning and then you kind of
you know kind of go from there and it
just kind of yeah you know builds up
from there and stuff like that some you
know we hold to the very end you know
you don't get you don't get any any kind
of you know violence or whatever until
the end but it's just a big payoff
although war doesn't like that episode
anyway so maybe this payoff at all hey
Warren yeah one says it sucks because
that was done when he wasn't here though
what I call the golden years chaos was
good okay so now we can get a little bit
more elaborate we can put kind of we've
been able to leave like a B and C
stories together you know oh you know
Russell's got his own story in this
and so does mine and then sort of you
know nutty but they all kind of come
together there anyways in the end so
that's been kind of cool hard and but
but satisfying once we get it to kind of
pay off and work yeah it's just more fun
it's just kind of like kind of I guess
the metaphor is like it's a bigger
played sandbox to playing you know I was
supposed to like you know it's fun
playing this little sandbox but with a
bigger boat but with bigger real estate
you get you get more toys and more stuff
more tricks to play with
