Episode Transcription

Brandon Jenkins: Who didn’t grow up on cartoons? Maybe you watched them on Saturday mornings, with a bowl full of sugary cereal. Or maybe you played with the toys that were inspired by your favorite show. Cartoons have influenced generations of kids — and some of them, like Noelle Stevenson of She-Ra, grew up to create their own animated series. 

Noelle: I know the impact that these stories had on me. It changed me in a profound way and it affected the way I viewed the world.

Brandon: On this season of Behind the Scenes, we’re focusing on Netflix’s hit animated series. Each episode, you’ll be hearing from the writers, animators, and voice actors that make these shows possible. We’ll bring you into the world of shows like She-Ra and the Princesses of Power

She-Ra (clip): For the honor of Grayskull. 

Brandon: Disenchantment

Bean (clip): I want to be in charge of my own destiny. 

Brandon: Voltron: Legendary Defenders

Shiro (clip): Form Voltron!

Brandon: And so many more. 

Tito (clip): I’m Tito, the Anxiety Mosquito!

Brandon: We’ll find out how classic franchises were brought into the 21st Century by creators like Lauren Montgomery of Voltron…. 

Lauren: I was like, oh, my God. I have two girls in a boy show. Like, I am the effing savior of the world. 

Brandon: And we’ll catch up with some familiar voices along the way: 

Nick Kroll: Hey I’m Nick Kroll.

Abbi Jacobson: Hey, my name is Abbi Jacobson

Eric Andre: Hey, I'm Eric Andre 

Brandon: So whether you're a die-hard fan, or someone who is just curious about how animated series get made — we've got something — for you!
