I really want a series, and the fact that Klei is also willing to do so is awesome. But I don't know How can we send out words to netflix or similar type platforms,That's why I make this post so that anybody who knows what we can do now can help Us:wilson_flower:

making an entire season of animation is not an easy task.I have always felt that every update of the animated shorts produced by klei is very beautiful, so many players say that they are even a professional animation company XD 

It would be great if netfilx or other streaming media platforms are interested in dst’s animated series, but the current situation, especially when the world is under the influence of (covid-19), I guess it is unlikely to happen in a short time.and creating a complete one-season successful animation is not simple. It takes a lot of money and related animation producers, still need a good script. as Klei said, things will not be so simple, but if there is such an opportunity, Let netflix or other well-known streaming platforms be interested in dst, and I will definitely contribute a little bit of my power, such as donations and the like. 

Similarly, I also hope to see people with relevant experience or abilities help in this matter.

Yes, yes, YES! I hope it will be one of those shows with deep lore (It 100% will be though) but I woudn't mind just seeing more of character's interacting with eachother and seeing more of them.

Toothless is cute. 

Mercury Filmworks / Atomic Cartoons could be a good fit, they worked on the animated adaptation of Hilda that aired on Netflix.

They're also both Canadian animation studios. 

Hilda [Official Trailer]

Silvergate Media produced the show (although they were acquired by Sony Pictures Television in December 2019).

Walter short was mediocre. I noticed that Klei cut a budget on this animation. I know that because it was fairly easy for me to edit stuff from there which is a sign of not a lot of details. I also tried to compare to Wendy animation and in my opinion it was much more detailed. If anyone can confirm this I will be glad.

Editing!=Animating

2 big difference, just because it's easy to edit something someone else created doesn't mean it was easy to create the source material, specially considering all the drawing and animation fundamentals you have to go through to be able to make a short animation, oh and do that while having limited face-to-face communication due to a pandemic which can slow down the development, so yeah, due to time constraints they might have had to cut things or not, but calling it mediocre, really?

You are missing the whole point. I didn't edit this particular animation only, I did others as well and based on other comparisons this one felt fairly easy.

I didn't say it was easy to animate, I just stated the quality went a bit down.

It's all opinion, I just think other animations were better made. I don't get why you have to resort to white knighting? Next I will make a criticism of next animation and you will explode in my face?  

even if it doesn't have lore, but the characters interacting or having adventures on their own, i would pay for it. Since i saw Don Giani "webber stories" my love for wickerbottom increased i keep imagining funny situations like that but with Klei animated shorts.

You didn't give any details as to how the animation was mediocre, being easy to edit something doesn't make it mediocre either, just look at movie edits on yt. Not white knighting, I just don't see any reasoning in what you wrote to call it mediocre.

"Netflix, you're greenlit. Who am i speaking with?"

"Ah yes, hello! We have an idea for a show that we think would be GREAT for netlix."

"Okay great, would you like a pilot or just go straight to an order of 6 episodes?"

"We'd like to go right into 6 episodes with a pickup option at the end of 3."

"Got it, can you start shooting next month?"

"y-Yes, we're ready to start right now. Our forums are very, very excited!"

"Okay sounds great, we'll send you the contracts, what's this show about?"

"It's a Standalone series about a bunch of survivors before they group up to thrive in a magical wilderness"

Clip i referenced for this large waste of effort.

Here is one good example. If you look closely even the treeguard which is mostly green has shadows and a more evil look on his eyes. The sky also looks a bit more dapper then just one canvas color. Treat this with a grain of salt. It's the small things but they make the image a bit better.

Context is important in any art related stuff. Let's break it down.

In the Woodie's frame they are in the middle of a fight, Woodie got it angry by cutting trees and attacking the tree guard.

The Walter's everyone knows Deerclopes will ignore you and start smashing structures, Walter didn't attack it, but started getting near up to a point Walter was seen as a threat to Deer, like most animals would if approached, causing it to attack not because of angriness. After Walter gets rescued and escapes, Deerclopes let a roar to show dominance.

Of course, this is all up to interpretation. But there may be a reason to the difference in facial expression between the two.

As for the sky color, both use gradient going from a more saturated color at the top of the screen to a less saturate below. Also, you said Tree Guard was mostly green and has shadows, meanwhile Deer has white, black texture on hands/arms with a dessatured purple under it, its face has a gradient with different colors going from top to bottom, its fur has paper texture, and its horns adds one last different color. This is all technical stuff, they are important to get the message delivered and both succeeded at it, the animation didn't feel confusing, the color palette aren't eye blinding or confusing, the cuts were well done and made sense to the viewer, good sound sync and design to help give life and emotion. So, all in all, on a technical level, they both did the job well to deliver a message to the viewer in presenting a character.

But, more important than technicalities is a creation that has soul.

I agree. Looking at the Walter short, I found quite disappointing. All the other animations for each character seems so much more colourful, and compelling but this one seemed to fall flat - literally just a boy finding shack, fall into constant, feeds a random dog that is now his friend, meets deerlops, new friend saves him. (Too lazy to go into the actual details and comparisons between each of them)

I guess they didn’t plan on putting too much into him as he is isn’t supposed to be a lore heavy character but still, looking at characters such as Warly, wormwood, and Wortox... it could have been so much more interesting.

and then there is the animation which is again ..bland

Wait if they do this then does that mean that they would need voice actors? The should definitely try to swing Morgan Freeman to voice Wes. It might be quite the expense, but I really think Freeman has the capability of giving life to this character. Getting in touch with him or his agent is another issue, but once he sees the material he’s working with, he won’t be able to say no.

Klei just donated 1 million dollars to the BLM fund a week ago. If they had to cut some corners because of it, I don't blame them.

As much as i would like to see this happen i would have to go against it, because there's much more to consider when going after such thing. The progress on dst would become much more slower, having to either hire a brand new distribution/animation/editing team and or members or reposition artists/editors from other teams into the series one aswell as managing their entire work time around it. I think we all know that this is no easy task, but personally id rather have klei work on their games instead of fully commit to an animated series. There's also one thing to note which is the audience, now i'm not gonna point "hating finger" at anyone, but in current time we live in shows can get cancelled within a snap of a finger due to some folks and their agendas, but either way its not something that will come out in a month or two, so only time will tell if future will be better or worse for the take on animated series.

exactly , The characters interacting for surviving together is soo much fun to watch. We play with many characters together but just what will they actually think about each other. Imagine if has little bit of romance :wilson_love:,ooo I am seeing things

Game has it's own path and animation has it's own. There will be always some pros and cons in everything. If it's coming to netflix they will probably make a dedicated team for it. Game and animation both have it's own audience. That's why they mentioned in their comment that they want it seriously not like one south park episode.

Just think DST will not be limited only to games but it will have it's own anime community like sword art online:wilson_celebrate:
