Oh thank goodness, the new Urkel and Batman cartoons are apparently both safe
Batman: The Caped Crusader (and the Urkel animated Christmas special) are reportedly still in production, with Hulu, Netflix, and Apple all expressing interest
A silver lining, dimly visible within the flickering light of the prolonged garbage fire that is HBO Max’s animation efforts at the moment: The Urkel cartoon still lives. (Batman, too, if you’re some kind of deviant who cares more about that than the fate of animated Urkel holiday special in the year of our lord 2022.)
This is per THR’s Heat Vision column, expanding on recent reports on a number of animated shows that were supposed to debut on embattled streaming service HBO Max, but which have now been pulled from its schedule. The most prominent of these, of course, is Did I Do That To The Holidays: A Steve Urkel Story, which we have been following for almost exactly a year at this point, lured in by the idea of Wyatt Cenac writing a holiday special starring Family Matters breakout star Steve Urkel (still Jaleel White), as he attempts to un-ruin Christmas by finding Santa Claus at last.
