In her Wednesday statement, Hanawalt remembered her time with Adult Swim as “creatively fulfilling” and praised “smart and thoughtful” Warner Media executives. She also voiced support for her collaborators and gave a shout-out to the Animation Guild and Writers Guild of America — urging fellow showrunners and creators keep up the fight to unionize their teams.
“Tuca & Bertie” might not have a home now, but the “Bojack Horseman” alumna said she isn’t finished with the show just yet.A few episodes into Lisa Hanawalt’s new, terrifically funny animated series “Tuca & Bertie,” there’s a moment when a puffin in a pink suit calls a crowded auditorium to attention.
“I still have a beautiful and weird ending to T&B in mind, hopefully someday we’ll get the chance to finish this story,” she said. “I’m not done creating. I’ve witnessed so many people connecting with this show on a profound level and I intend to keep telling stories like this, no matter what.”“In my head, I keep eulogizing T&B as ‘the show so nice, I sold it twice,’” she wrote.
