We chatted with 'Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts' creators Rad Sechrist and Bill Wolkoff to learn about their brand new and incredibly stylish Netflix series. Hailing from DreamWorks Animation and acclaimed animators at Studio Mir. The duo talked about developing the story from Sechrist's webcomics, finding a signature visual style and a bumping soundtrack to match it, and what lies ahead for a possible Season 2. More on 'Kipo' follows below:

After spending her entire life living in an underground burrow, a young girl named Kipo (Karen Fukuhara) is thrust into an adventure on the surface of a fantastical post-apocalyptic Earth. She joins a ragtag group of survivors as they embark on a journey through a vibrant wonderland where everything trying to kill them is downright adorable. The series is created and executive produced by Sechrist (How to Train Your Dragon 2) and executive produced and developed for television by Bill Wolkoff (The Man Who Fell To Earth).
