Topic	Kung Fu Panda Exec Says Hollywood Is At a Loss About Anime's Successes
Zikten 04/17/24 4:04:21 PM #37:	Over 20 years ago, Stephen Spielberg made an "American Anime" that aired during Primetime on the WB network (channel that later merged with another called UPN and became what is today CW) It was geared to older people. I would say it was a pg 13 cartoon. It was about a boy on earth who finds out he is half alien, and his dad is from a planet that is now invading Earth It was called Invasion America. I hoped at the time it would be a huge hit, and lead to the beginning of a great American Anime industry. But it had poor ratings due to kids being in bed when it aired, and older people dismissing it as a children's show. So it never got a 2nd season, and American Anime never took off <cite>Zikten posted [p:979963080] in Kung Fu Pa...
