#flying bark

It's a shame how we're at the point of hoping one project fails so we can enjoy another. It shouldn't be like this.

But, at the end of the day, I'd take LMK over anything else. In a heartbeat. Avatar had its time to shine. It's story was told. Give the spotlight to something else already.

A person in the LEGO Monkie Kid community known to have ties to official sources posted this, but quickly deleted it.

An anonymous source alleges that LEGO was rushing animators for a season 5, inducing severe crunch time. Flying Bark could not produce seasons fast enough, which is why they were dropped.

Observers of the situation have pointed out that Flying Bark unionized this year, which, if this account is true, almost certainly lended to them being dropped.

This would also explain why LEGO did not choose to replace Flying Bark with a different studio with hand-drawn animation. They did not care if the styles matched — they cared about how fast it could be pumped out. This also explains the amount of traced scenes in what we’ve seen from season 5 — the current animators are now facing crunch time, too.

It's so hard to say goodbye to a studio which gave us an incredibly beautiful show, but torches are passed, and Flying Bark will continue to make amazing things.

Thank you for everything Flying Bark, beginning to end of Flying Bark's involvement, Lego Monkie Kid has been truly special.

I just thought it’d be fun to do a fake official character ref in the Flying Bark style…if time permits, I may make more!
