‘Big Mouth’ Creator Reflects on Animating Puberty and its End
Imagine a funny cartoon about growing up, called 'Big Mouth.'
It's like a show about all the changes your body goes through when you become a teenager!
The show's creators, including Nick Kroll, wanted to show that everyone goes through these weird and sometimes embarrassing changes.
They made the show to make people laugh, but also to make sure that no one feels alone during this time.
They interviewed kids, used their stories, and talked about things that are sometimes not discussed.
The idea was to help people understand that it's okay to feel all sorts of feelings during puberty and that it is all part of becoming an adult.
Netflix's adult animated series 'Big Mouth' has concluded after eight seasons.
The show, created by Nick Kroll and others, explores the experiences of puberty with humor.
Kroll voices numerous characters and aimed to make audiences feel less alone during puberty.
The writers incorporated their own adolescent experiences and feedback from young viewers.
The creators focused on destigmatizing puberty and portraying its complexities.
