Genndy Tartakovsky Teases Plans for Animated Comedic Heist Series
Tartakovsky’s announcement, made at an Annecy studio focus for Adult Swim, was greeted with late enthusiasm by an Annecy audience.

The premise:
The robbers are three brother frogs, control freak James, neurotic Issac, and little George, who thinks he’s brilliant but is actually not. Estranged, they meet up at their father’s funeral, where they are informed that they will only inherit his fortune if they pull off a bank heist, stealing the contents of a bank’s vault numbered 881.
Trouble comes when all three cut side deals for help in the form of a Japanese yakuza tiger, a Russian mafia hippo and an Italian gorilla mobster. The police are wunderbeasts.
The structure:
Every episode is one shot, but they will not be told in chronological order. The whole has an EDM score, said their creator.
The remarks and reactions:
Given Tartakovsky’s remarks came at a packed Adult Swim studio focus at this week’s Annecy Animation Festival in France, they came off as an effective pitch for backing from Adult Swim, which produced and aired the final season of “Samurai Jack” and “Primal.” They were made, moreover, in the presence of an Annecy audience, the most knowledgeable of animation publics, who reacted with applause and enthusiastic laughs.
