No, I am not kidding at all. And yes I was just as surprised as you are when they released the trailer. The show is going to be premiering their Season 8 with a Fan-Animated episode. Now that is making history.
This episode will feature work from 62 fans! Every animation is drawn in a different style and color scheme, and it is pretty epic. The producers asked die-hard fans of the show to submit their artwork.
We didn’t want it to be the “best drawings,” we didn’t want slick and professional results, here. As, We weren’t going for that.
We wanted it to feel like it feels when you’re online and you stumble across somebody’s fan art and maybe that fan is a kid However some of those drawings have more life and energy in them than what we could draw.
