Why did George RR Martin gravitate toward animation?
The creation of the scenarios narrated in the novels would have required an excessive budget, which, as Martin says, would not have been paid for by the managers of the streaming platform. For the screenwriter, animation was a viable option in order to realize each of his stories.
“A measure that I fully support. Thebudget constraints“would probably have made a live-action version prohibitively expensive, with half the series taking place at sea and the need to create a different port every week, from Driftmark to Lys, the Basilisk Islands, Volantis, Qarth,” he continues Martin in reference to the 'Nine Voyages' series.
