I'm making an indie animated show, the pilot movie, a hero named Kenyon would meet 5 heroes, the pilot would be about the introduction of our 6 heroes working together fighting the pilot villain near the climax which would lead into the series, in case you're wondering no, its not going to be an adult show, I want to stand out from most of the indie animated shows on YouTube, its an action kids show, the main series would be about meeting new heroes/villains, a group of anti heroes would be seen. (the anti heroes will have their own mimi series) The slice of life episodes would be about the heroes doing normal things when there is no villain to fight, the series will focus on certain characters either about the main heroes, sometimes the side heroes as well, I just wanted to know what do you think about me making an action kids show for kids and adults to enjoy by everyone. Also its TV Y7-FV

YOU ARE MY OMG, you are good. This was the most helpful "pitch bible" walk through that i have ever had. Its so clear now 🤩 thank you!

I'm planning to create an animated series about the paranormal and supernatural. This is a MAJOR big help, very informative and precise. Thank you!

A show idea I have is about a toddler that is super smart and becomes a super spy. My inspiration comes from Rugrats and Mission Impossible (or whatever spy movie you can think of). This video might help me with developing the idea more as well as pitching it to cartoon network or nick when I am ready. Thanks so much for this video.

This is incredibly informative and clear! Thanks for taking the time out!

Hi Jaiden!

Thank you for making this video. I've had an 11 minute pilot script on hand for a couple years now that's gotten great feedback and support, but I've always been intimidated by pitch bibles themselves, since they really are the show summed up and it's hard to organize all those ideas. This video was a really good, succinct summary of how to lay everything out.

I was taking notes while watching this video lol it's very helpful.

[IMGOINGTOCRYSJSJJSHA]

I have been thinking of creating an animated series and found this very helpful. Thanks!

[tracyfreeman]

THIS is FANTASTIC. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks so much

This helped, A LOT, before watching this, I thought I was in over my head. After watching this, I still think I'm in over my head, but with an outline. If anything comes of it, I'll let you know, but right now I need to stop stalling on youtube, and get 'R done.
