IF YOU WANT AN EXAMPLE OF someone doing a post-apocalyptic life right, you should be watching DreamWorks Animation’s Kipo And The Age Of Wonderbeasts on Netflix.
Adapted from Radford Sechrist’s 2015 webcomic Kipo, and developed by Bill Wolkoff (Star Wars Rebels), the traditionally animated series has just unveiled its second season.
Season one set up the plight of Kipo Oak (Karen Fukuhara): a teenage girl who’s grown up along with the remains of humanity in underground burrows. But then she’s thrust up, alone, into the outside world of Las Vistas. Captivated by the incredible colors, creatures, and landscapes she’s never seen before, Kipo collects new friends and allies, often of the mutant monster persuasion, in her ultimate quest to get home.
“Everybody really embraced the tone of our world and the idea of this post-apocalypse that’s a wonderland,” Bill Wolkoff tells Red Alert. “Also the musical style, and how we wanted to do relationships differently than you might normally see in kids’ cartoons.”
