Genndy Tartakovsky has made a name for himself in the animation industry,
best known for works such as Dexter’s Laboratory, Samurai Jack
and Star Wars: Clone Wars (2003) (and, to a lesser extent, Symbionic
Titan), along with directing the Hotel Transylvania series of films
(of which I have seen the first). As a fan of his work, including [adult swim]’s
Samurai Jack Season 5, I was excited to see what he’d do when his next [as]
series Primal was announced, for which a selling point was a complete
lack of dialogue, a step up from Samurai Jack’s more conservative
use of dialogue. With Primal’s air date drawing nearer, I stumbled upon
a limited theatrical screening of the series at the Downtown Independent LA (still going as of this writing)
that would take place prior to the TV premiere, and so I took advantage of the
opportunity to see what the show would be like. After taking the chance, I
walked away highly impressed with what Tartakovsky had accomplished.
