Bear in mind, not all those nine months are spent on animation. At any given moment, one episode could be in sound design, the next could be in character animation, the next could be in storyboards, the next could be in concept design and insert however many other steps here. Even with only one studio, there's overlap between different departments. I've seen shows that work with only one studio release 3-6 episodes a year, depending on complexity. So instead of 131 fucking years, Growing Around would take... 30 to 60 fucking years. Of course, this runs on the assumption that Enter has the brainpower to delegate several episodes at once.



Funny you should mention that. A long while back (like, late summer 2019), I combed through some of Enter's scripts in a real script editor to find the runtime for each of them (Lord forbid I time myself reading those things.) After reformatting all the dialogue, here are my results for Season 1a.

The common theme I've noticed is "Too much content for 11 minutes, but not enough to fill 22."
I always found it really confusing that this whole thing came from him saying that he could make a better execution of a shitty cartoon pilot. Why that of all things? It just seems so weird in a way that I'm not sure I can articulate.
At least it’s mostly honest theft instead of pretending it didn’t steal the idea from Flip Flopped... even if he hasn’t mentioned that pilot in years.

Wait, I thought the kids are the 'adults' in this world? Shouldn't the adult be asking 'are we there yet? '. Why are the kids dressed like kids, wouldn't you want the 'funny' imagery of the adults dressing like kids, and kids in bussines suits? Why is the car shaped like a butterfly? Wwwwwhhhhhyyyyyy? How the fuck can kids run heavy industrial machinery to make those cars? Why is the traffic girl helping kids cross the street, shouldn't it be adults? Unless they're special needs kids, which just raises more questions...

that’s actually exactly what the original pilot was, and Enter thought that was the problem. Be believes the central gimmick only works if the kids use kid stuff and treat the adult stuff like adults treat kid stuff. Which is a sad outlook on life because that implies he thinks adults only look down in childhood instead of encouraging it and engaging with the child...you know, like most parents do, probably including his judging by how much tv they let him watch.

 
What is he trying to accomplish with so many of these videos so close together? All it's resulting in is people hating him more.
I think he is trying desperately to salvage any of his political credibility that he burned away with the first of these Corona-Chan videos. Or he's trying to prove to those haters that he's right and that they're a bunch of idiots for not wanting to sacrifice grandma.

He should just take the L and move the fuck on. But, this is Mr. Enter we're talking about. He'll either keep on harping on it long after these quarantines end or he'll forget about it once Family Guy airs their next season.
 
I love how he is using the US lockdowns, which basically everyone who in general wants a lockdown, agrees have been a complete failure and mismanagement for whatever reasons, be it the state or federal response, I'm not familiar enough with the US system to say.

Also, regardless of how you look at it, states with heavy lockdowns have also had heavy testing, while the opposite is true for states with light to no lockdowns. This is something that skews your data. this is pretty basic stuff

That short was godawful. Outside of his refusal to grow up and face reality, I really would like to know what about that Enter found so "inspiring."

He said that it was wasted potential and that the idea could be salvaged into something great if it weren't a 100% role-reversal, but instead the kids act likes kids and the adults like adults. Yes, the spark that set off Growing Around was Enter being disappointed with a Disney short.

At best, the idea could work as a one off dream episode on some Disney tween cartoon, at worst, it's a stupid cut-away gag on Family Guy. How sad is it that THIS stupid idea inspired Mr Enter to make an entire fictional universe...

I mean, he's basically just digging himself deeper with progressively stupider and stupider hot takes.

Here's the original review:
The part about Flip Flopped starts about 14 minutes in.
 
Here's the original review:
https://youtube.com/watch?v=VXfWwOa9H78The part about Flip Flopped starts about 14 minutes in.
Soon after posting that review, he posted this video where he first mentioned Growing Around:
Back then, Enter was already voicing his hope that this would become a "legitimate, 11 minute, fully animated cartoon pilot", thinking that all he needs to actually get it done is to simply ask for "voice actors and animators and background music and sound effects". He also claims that this creation that is obviously a ripoff of a failed short from a failed anthology series "not fan fiction".

:story: Even back then, Enter already had big delusions of grandeur for Growing Around.

EDIT: :lit: He took down that third Corona-Chan video:

Hope one of you autists remembered to archive it.
 
Mr Enter powiedział(a):
I said that there was nothing sadder than wasted potential, and someone should retool Too Many Robots and Flip Flopped. Well, me and one of my artists did exactly that. We retooled Flip Flopped and I actually wrote the script for the pilot for the redesigned series, Growing Around. Like I said in the actual review, keep the kids as kids and the adults as adults. Just flip their roles around. Let's see if my theory is correct.

Why am I bringing this up? Because I want to go all the way with this one and turn it into a legitimate 11-minute, fully animated cartoon pilot. And because this isn't fanfiction or something, I won't have to worry about stupid legal bullshit cease-and-desist order from companies living in the 50s. But I digress. I want to make my own cartoon. I've got the script, it just needs voice actors and animators and background music and sound effects. And hopefully a theme song catchier than the Kim Possible one. If you have any of those talents or skills, I would really like to hear about it. Barring that, tell me what you think about what I wrote.

If only he stuck with that 11-minute runtime.
 
he does realize that those videos would put his Series in serious legal trouble if Growing Around ever became a success? not being a fanfic isn't enough.

Full context on Enter's "not a fanfic" quote: This isn't the first time he's tried to get a cartoon off the ground. He once attempted making an animation of his MLP fanfiction "Clean Up On Smile Five." It got halfway into storyboards before one of Hasbro's mass video takedowns gave him a convenient excuse scared him into dropping the project. That's the "stupid legal bullshit cease-and-desist order" Enter was referring to. It never even crossed his mind that Disney could sue.

Hey, I remember that one. IIRC, he was doing it to throw shade on other fan projects like Double Rainboom by making what he considered a realistic episode of the show. I figured it got pigeonholed in his mind like his other projects, but the copyright thing makes more sense.

Disney defaulted on the trademark over a decade ago, they couldn’t care less about the idea. Which might be the saddest part.

Does Enter explain why kids rule the world in GA?

You’re not going to believe this, but there is a reason. They came into power over adults because during the Stone Age they were the only ones who could defeat the dinosaurs via hiding in holes and waiting until the dinos poked their heads through and then beating their skulls in.
