Pibby’s Learning Adventure initially gained popularity among Adult Swim viewers, only to disappoint them when it was announced that it wouldn’t progress into a series. The creator offered a glimpse of what might have been if Pibby had received a full green light. The initial short, released during Halloween 2021, featured a character from the educational cartoon ‘Learning with Pibby’ struggling to survive as a colossal dark entity began consuming Cartoon Network and transforming its characters into sinister versions of themselves.
In my perspective as an enthusiastic viewer, the pilot episode of “Learning With Pibby” left such an impressive impact that it sparked immense anticipation among fans for a complete series. However, in the year 2023, the creator, Dodge Greenley, announced disappointingly that a full-fledged series was not in the works. In a series of intriguing Instagram posts, Greenley unveiled glimpses into what could have been for the Pibby series, featuring Courage from “Courage the Cowardly Dog” meeting an untimely and violent end, and Pibby engaging in a frenzied battle with Snorks using hammers.
Learning With Pibby Creator Reflects on Adult Swim Cancellation
Dodge Greenley, who created Pibby, shared his feelings about the Adult Swim pitching process in an emotional Instagram post last year. He wrote, “In 2019, I proposed a concept for a show featuring a sweet preschool character dealing with the apocalypse. As the real-world apocalypse unfolded in 2020, I worked on her story. Unfortunately, creating this character’s story felt like getting hit in the heart each week.” He also mentioned that when the pilot debuted, it was celebrated as a success and there seemed to be potential for a full show. However, the actual situation turned out to be quite different.
Although “Pibby” was initially shown as part of Adult Swim’s April Fool’s Day joke in 2022 and didn’t get picked up for a full series, creator Greenley faced no better fortune when trying to pitch the show. After another setback during the writer’s strike, the creator fell into a depression, expressing deep sadness every time someone brought up “Pibby.” He wished he could continue the story and give her a complete narrative. This art piece is a unique glimpse of what might have been for “Pibby,” marking the end of her tale.
What Happened With Learning With Pibby?
Learning With Pibby has proven to be quite an unexpected gem among recent Adult Swim offerings. Greenley suggested that the show’s originality may have contributed to its initial rejection. However, with the ongoing transformations within Warner Bros. Discovery, it’s plausible that this type of series might not align perfectly with their current direction.
Regarding the various shows under Warner Bros., managing their licenses must have been quite challenging, given the intense themes like those in Greenley’s work. It’s worth pondering if the series could secure the required permissions to execute some of its ambitious ideas. Sadly, for now and probably for a long time, Pibby’s story has come to an end. It’s disappointing for animation enthusiasts who can only imagine what could have been, and Greenley experienced this creative turmoil as well. However, we did get the exciting initial short from it.
