Explore the animated series universe through the role of the "show runner"! A unique opportunity to understand how this notion adapts and changes in the world of animation.

The term "show runner" comes from the US and got popular in the live-action production of series. It designates the person who has overall creative lead and management authority on a given television series, during the whole production process. But is this notion relevant for animated series?

Does it exist outside the US market? More broadly, what are the creative processes at stake while elaborating an animated series and the various ways to become a "show runner" in animation, if such a job really exists?
