Shut Up Cartoons posts trailer for new series ‘Alfred and Poe’
Yesterday, Shut Up Cartoons posted up a trailer for a brand-new series called Alfred and Poe. A CG-series that follows an English toucan and a lazy sea turtle living under the same roof.
The Youtube landscape of animation is certainly saturated to its fullest, so seeing Shut Up Cartoons going for a completely different style in animated series than years prior is a step in the right direction in trying to distance yourself from the pack.
Check out a first-look trailer below,and mark your calendars because the series starts May 5th @ Noon PST, only on Shut Up Cartoons.
Short of getting Roiland back, which I'm sure isn't going to happen, I don't even think they could get much better than the new voices from the previous season. And the ratings for season 7 weren't much lower on average than for season 6; it was pretty much just a normal season-to-season drop that most likely would have happened regardless.
I mean, look at the actual averages:
Season 1 - 1.57 million viewers Season 2 - 1.97 million viewers Season 3 - 2.33 million viewers Season 4 - 1.52 million viewers Season 5 - 0.96 million viewers Season 6 - 0.56 million viewers Season 7 - 0.42 million viewers
Ever since season 3, it had been having steep drops even with Roiland still involved; the season 6 to 7 drop is actually the smallest-percentage drop it's had since it started dropping, and if anything it's possible that changing the voice actors actually *boosted* interest a bit and prevented it from dropping even more.
