“Bone” series coming to Netflix (Update: Cancelled)

[Rick Jones]

It felt like it was taking forever to get off the ground but I was really optimistic about it getting done this time, especially with Jeff Smith's own enthusiasm whenever he made a statement about it. This whole situation with Netflix right now sucks especially to see the animation side get such a hard hit when Netflix seemed to be one of the biggest avenues for getting original animation made today. I guess it was only so long that their business model could go without taking a hard hit like this. By the time this thing actually gets made, I'm probably going to be a senior citizen but maybe it'll happen some day.

This sucks. I knew Netflix was too good to be true, and that it couldn't afford all of the IP's it bought while it was operating at a loss. I was right.

The series has been cancelled.

Why is it so hard to get a proper adaption of Bone ?

Cancelled. Damn that sucks. Also I am worried that Redwall will suffer the same fate. Oh man the way things are going I will have no reason to keep my Netflix account.

Oh man, it would suck if they cancel Redwall (granted, we already had a solid cartoon version, but still) .

Geez, I didn't know there's going to be a TV series of Bone, but thank goodness I didn't subscribe to Netflix.

It totally sucks that it was cancelled. I was looking forward to finally get an animated adaptation of Bone.

I wonder if Amazon or Apple could save Bone? Unlike Netflix, Apple and Amazon have deep pockets and are less likely to pull the rug from under this property.

I hope Jeff Smith is shopping around...

It will still not be easy, it puts Jeff Smith back to square one and there is no guarantee that any other streaming service will pick up Bone.

(Sigh) The unfortunate truth .

Amazon is too cancel-happy for my liking. If I were Jeff Smith, I'd wait five years and reassess the entire streaming industry and which platform would be the best fit then. I kind of think maybe the notion of Bone on a streaming service came too early. The format was still far too new, and the story of Bone needs a far bigger commitment than something like Netflix would normally offer. If I were Smith, I'd take five and see how the Streaming Wars shake out.

If Jeff Smith revives Bone, I really want Sony Animation or Cartoon Network Studios to do it. Heck, maybe give Warner Bros. Animation a second shot.

um, didn't Cartoon Network studios part of Warner Bros?

Jeff Smith is done with this. And frankly, who could blame him?

This is positive proof that he won't be trying for another adaptation anytime soon.

I don't blame him. But it's not just his loss. It's all our losses. Screw Netflix.

I feel bad for Jeff Smith and this franchise .

 

[ThePharaohZ]

I honestly was more excited for Bone than Sonic Prime.

Jeff Smith deserves better.

........

That's a damned shame....

Yes he does indeed.

Maybe Cartoon Network could use Bone, it'd be a great addition to their lineup and would definitely rise up the ratings.

And you are right, Screw Netflix...

They have LOST ALL respect I had...

Not like I had much to begin with..........

And if it wasn't for the regulations here, then I'd say more....

But it's just time to move on.

Netflix failed us....

At this point, there is little to NO future for Western Animation...

And what's Minds, Rumble and all of those other sites?

I'm done holding up faith and hope that everything will get better, if Netflix couldn't save us all, then I truly don't know what will.....

Netflix flew too close to the sun and are now crashing down to Earth. Problem is everything that fell with it. It is terrible that once again Bone gets screwed over by a big company, that all we have is hype and broken promises. It sucks.
