Genndy Tartakovsky on the defining moments of his animation career
Ойын-сауық
The works of animator Genndy Tartakovsky may vary wildly in tone-from cartoonish mania (Dexter’s Laboratory) to meditative action-adventure (Samurai Jack) to mainstream studio comedy (Hotel Transylvania)-but collectively they showcase an artist who is constantly pushing the boundaries of the form. His newest series, Genndy Tartakovsky’s Primal, continues this tradition by bringing to life a visceral, prehistoric tale of survival without the use of dialogue. In anticipation of Primal’s debut, Tartakovsky reflected on the pivotal moments of his career and shared stories about the creation of his impressive oeuvre. In the trip down memory lane, he recalls the Dexter’s Laboratory line-reading that changed the way he approached animation, Samurai Jack’s defining episode, and Star Wars: Clone Wars’ signature “big thing.”
Genndy Tartakovsky’s Primal premiered Monday on Adult Swim, and ends a five-night consecutive run this Friday, October 11.

Gendy taught me English through his cartoons...When my family immigrated to Canada I didn't have to go through the same struggles he did when he came to America because of him...this man's impact in my life can't be overstated...his cartoons set the standard for all the entertainment (especially animation) I watch
Dexter's Lab was a marvel of my childhood
I wish this interview would edit in some of the shots genndy brings up

Right, you'd figure the production value of these would be a little better considering who they're talking to.
They said that Chuck Jones is Orson Welles of Cartoons. So I think that is making Genndy Tartakovsky is Quentin Tarantino of Cartoons.

He's on Putin's D List too, so he's even more awesome.
This man made life amazing for 90’s kids.
That mace windu scene of him punching the bots was incredible
This guy gave us our childhood
Always dug Samurai Jack, every episode was so good! I was in my late 20’s when Puff Girls came out, we used to watch it all blazed up. Primal is why I started to become interested in the animator Genndy himself. Learning that he was behind a bunch of stuff that I loved is cool too.
Incredible, this man directed half my childhood! All of these shows are classics.
syn-bionic titan just hits me so hard, i dont know why.

@xanderholland6086 He did say he'd love to come back to it at some point! The reason it was canceled in the first place is that they couldn't get toys made of it 🤦🏻♂️...
Long story short: he's creative.
Can you imagine if gennedy did his own animation cinematic universe, can you imagine how awesome it will be

I like the "John Hughes meets Robots" quip because Genndy always makes character centered shows with amazing action scenes.
OMG grew up watching his works
I didn't know he created all of this 😳 he's amazing all of this show is amazing😍😍😍
My favorite was symbionic titan
Awesome. An amazing talent and spectacular professional in his line of work. He has a great natural talent with his art and teamwork
Genndy, can you please, please, please do The Silmarillion? You are the only person who could do this masterpiece justice!
The dude is a fucking genius artist
Goddamnit. Now I'm going to have to watch an Adam Sandler movie because I just found out Genndy Tartakovsky directed it.

6:46 I was literally thinking about this scene while he was speaking about the show and did not expect it at the end lol. It is probably the scene I laughed at the hardest in the whole sereis and is the scene I can recall the best.
Thanks for the video AV Club! Love it & love Primal!
Imagine the Lord of the rings and The Hobbit with his art style
I'm glad Genndy put "earth shakin' booty quakin'" on his list of achievements.

Every TV show created and feature film directed by Genndy Tartakovsky TV shows he created Dexter's Laboratory Samurai Jack Star Wars: Clone Wars Sym-Bionic Titan (with Bryan Andrews and Paul Rudish, which the latter created his own Mickey Mouse shows that Disney TV Animation is the production company of) Primal Unicorn: Warriors Eternal Feature Films he directed (the ones that are already released) Dexter's Laboratory: Ego Trip Hotel Transylvania Hotel Transylvania 2 Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation
I'd love for him to be the art director for a video game. Could be interesting.

Actually Star Wars: Clone Wars was a Cartoon Network property with Lucusfilm also coproducing so I’d say it’s a semi WarnerMedia property. Also he has a couple Sony and Adult Swim projects but isn’t going outside of those two companies.
Shit man Genndy you knew 𝙚𝙭𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙡𝙮 what you were doing with Agent Honeydew, didn't you? And Ashi, shiiiiiiiet. Thanks for Samurai Jack and all the rest!
Primal is beautiful... I guess. I didn't watch every Episode of Samurai Jack. But I get one thing. Genndy can make good characterwork. Watched the first Episode of Primal. And I love again that he is so ez going with new things. I love the Idea of characters who dont talk. I hope I will love this series.
