Ghostbusters

Netflix showcased a variety of animated projects at Annecy’s Imperial Palace, including adaptations from franchises like “Minecraft,” “Clash of Clans,” “Magic the Gathering,” and “Ghostbusters,” as well as the return of “Blue Eye Samurai.” Highlights included three new preschool shows based on Dr. Seuss, an adaptation of the French comic “Samuel,” and several adult-oriented series such as “Long Story Short,” “Haunted Hotel,” and “Mating Season.” “Samuel” is an acclaimed French animated series set for a wider audience release later this year. The Dr. Seuss adaptations consist of “Red Fish Blue Fish,” “Horton!,” and “The Sneetches,” with “Red Fish Blue Fish” aimed at children aged four to seven. “Long Story Short” is a family comedy from Raphael Bob-Waksberg, while “Haunted Hotel” is a horror-comedy produced by Dan Harmon. “Mating Season” is an adult animated comedy about dating in the animal kingdom. “Stranger Things: Tales from ‘85” aims to create animated series with cinematic quality, while “Splinter Cell: Deathwatch” is the first animated adaptation of the Ubisoft game. “Magic the Gathering” is described as an ambitious epic fantasy saga, and “Blue Eye Samurai” promises intense storytelling in its new season. A new “Ghostbusters” series is being developed with Sony Pictures Animation, and the “Minecraft” series is being crafted in collaboration with Mojang Studios. The “Clash of Clans” series will transform the mobile game's fantasy world into a workplace comedy.
