Back during the dot-com era, I created and wrote the story concept for a sci-fi Flash animation called Zeek [1]. It eventually aired on the Locomotion TV channel [2], which was later acquired by Sony. Several members of the team had experience working as illustrators with DC Comics.

It's important to highlight, especially in 2024, that Flash was the way to create this type of animation back then, as streaming was prohibitive for most internet connections around the world.

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic was made in flash

Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends was also made in flash.

It's crazy that such a tool made it to the tv screen and then axed in one full swoop of a corp.
