Netflix<\/a><\/strong> might be interested in turning all the most popular animes in the world into live-action, but it’s not planning on giving the animation side of its operation new life anytime soon. The streamer is cutting down on its costs for the department, but at least we’re still getting a new Adam Sandler movie. In the same vein, its horror output has also suffered a hit, with the dependable Mike Flanagan officially leaving the streamer behind. <\/p>\n

Not even Guillermo Del Toro could save the Netflix animation department<\/h2>\n

Netflix has been a safe haven for animation in the past, offering a much-welcomed alternative to the family-friendly often-repetitive style of Disney. It has rescued projects like Nimona <\/em>and Star Trek: Prodigy<\/a><\/em> from ruthless cancelation by industry competitors, it produced the Oscar-winning Pinnochio<\/em>, a movie whose director Guillermo Del Toro presented as a flag for the incredible potential of the medium, and gave us the groundbreaking BoJack Horseman<\/em> series, which is considered one of the greatest of its kind.<\/p>\n

This background paints the latest news in an even more depressing light. The company will be making massive cuts to its animation department<\/a>, including personnel layoffs and the cancellation of two developing projects. Escape From Beverly Hills <\/em>is being released back to the open market and Godwin Jabangwe’s Tunga<\/em> has been sent back into development, Variety<\/a> <\/em>reports. Similar to what Dreamworks has recently announced, Netflix is also planning to start outsourcing its animation filmmaking in the future. <\/p>\n

Thankfully, the cuts didn’t affect Adam Sandler’s turn as a friendly Floridian lizard<\/h2>\n
