In this episode of The Animashow, I had the pleasure of speaking with Philippe Alessandri, CEO of Watch Next Media, about the evolution of the animation industry: the phenomenon of consolidation, the impact of AI, and the strategic moves shaping the future of independent studios. Watch Next Media is known for its hit animated series “Nate is Late” and the big worldwide hit “Boy Girl Dog Cat Mouse Cheese”, both spanning three seasons. His company also produced the latest 3D animated adaptation of the iconic “Hello Kitty” - the second most lucrative franchise in the world.
