Yeah, saw that. I'm cautiously optimistic. There are so many ways it can go oh so wrong, but I've got pretty good faith in Seth.
Given his track record with The Orrville and Ted, I am cautiously optimistic from at least a technical standpoint that he'll be able to capture the general look/feel of the books. The real areas of concern will be things somewhat outside of his control like budgets and things like that.
I was incredibly impressed with what he pulled off with The Orville. That is the majority of the reason I'm optimistic. My biggest concern is how well they can live-action the content. To your point, budget will be a huge factor in it.
My other main hope is that, obviously Princess Donut will have to be some level of animated/CGI, and I hope they can figure out a way to get Jeff Hays to do the voice. I can suspend disbelief for any of the other characters to be changed, but he IS the voice of Donut.
It's not DCC without him, full stop. I don't see how Matt lets it happen without that being a deal-breaker.
