Jhonen Vasquez's Failed Series: Very Important House

Фильм және анимация

Back in 2014, Jhonen Vasquez and Jenny Goldberg had an idea for a cartoon that seemed perfect: Very Important House. Little did they know that the House of Mouse is a jerk who has a personal vendetta against people who create Invader Zim fan fics. Lunar Sea Spire's very own David dives down into the troubled history of Very Important House and shows what this show could have been.

I noticed a familiar drawing in the “Disney look at all this fanart” section and I can confirm at 6:28 my art of Frolie is there ( the one with the purple and blue gradient ) this is a surprise. I just wanna say thank you for deeming that drawing good enough for your video even if you most likely chose the fanart at random or possibly what little was shown in the VIH tags on social media. What a treat nevertheless, so sad about this show though. Disney was dumb for not picking it up

    It's a shame to me that Very Important House did get green-lit by Disney as a full-fledged series. Even though it's been a while, I am a fan of Jhonen's Invader Zim series as well as the Enter The Florpus movie that premiered on Netflix back in 2019 and I do find it unfortunate Jhonen could not tell any and all great adventures and stories he had in mind when him and Jenny Goldberg came up with this show. Also, to be honest, Jhonen Vasquez is one of the many cartoon creators I would love to see more creative cartoon shows from which is another reason why I find it unfortunate this show didn't get picked up by Disney.

I know he & Jenny likely want to move on by this point but I would totally support that crowdfund if it does happen.BTW did he state how long the pilot was?

    my opinion on someone who works in a adjacent industy to jhonen....development is a place where executives draw their inspiriation from. SO my guess is jhonen being the super talented person he is....the execs kept him on the menial salary of development. knowing damn well they were never going to pick up his series...but allowed him to be super creative as the execs watched and applied HIS creativity to other shows in the network. This is the way execs stay execs and keep ultra talented people like johnen as esssentially a creative director for the company but while under menial salary. And the moment the creative juices start to slow down, they have an easy out to let them go. ask me how i know.
