10: Bad Dinosaurs Netflix Release Special

Ep. 10

Joel Veitch and David Shute are joined today by their longtime friend and collaborator Alex Mallinson, to discuss the origins of the project which eventually became the Netflix show Bad Dinosaurs, on the day of its release.


They tell the story of how they went from doodles of incompetent dinosaurs on a napkin, to a series of YouTube shorts, to a globally released animation series.


SPOILER: It was neither easy nor fast.
