“Dana left disney, so now there’s no way we’re getting spinoffs or comics for toh-”
Guys, Dana spent 5 years making The Owl House, as frustrating as it was for it to be cut, making what we got still took so much time and hard work from her and the rest of the team.
The woman needs some time to rest, and she can’t very well do that by hanging out in the disney offices rn.
and even if she gets approved for extra content, we still probably won’t have it out for some time regardless because of the work and time put into it.
There’s so much misinfo claiming that because she left she’s never doing toh stuff again and that’s just straight up not true.
She’s interested, she’s made that clear, but for now she’s a bit burnt out so until she’s up for it again, you just kinda got to be patient.
Promote the show, keep hammering disney, but don’t put pressure on her specifically, this is something she should be ready to do in her own time as well.
Let her rest so she can come back when she’s up for it, however long that may be, and in the meantime make sure disney knows there’s interest for the series to continue in the meantime.
I think people see “ Dana left disney” and just jump to the worst conclusions almost instantly, but it’s not as bad as you think when pulling back the clickbait.
These are hardworking people behind the show and if you were in their position, you’d want a break too.
The real takeaway here is:
Yes, she left.
Could she come back? Yes, she could, if she wants to.
Is this the end for toh forever? No, if she wants to come back and disney is asked for more, then we can get more. But they sure won’t approve if there’s no fan interest anymore.
For now, the fandom will manage on it’s own, until then.
Also adding on to this.
Creators can leave and come back. It does happen.
I grew up with Sailor Moon. Whose creator infamously had a spat with her anime production company to the point she split off to make a separate company to buy back some of her rights.
To the point she actually did halt production outright of all products for 5 years.
You want to know what we’re looking at right now. In just three months in Japan?
The final movies being animated properly for the first time. Because eventually as much as they dislike each other they were able to work something out to make another anime.
Dana taking a break doesn’t mean it won’t happen at all. It could. It just won’t be for a while.
And after everything she deserves a break
