Tartakovsky acknowledged that Primal doesn't exactly follow documented history, as the last dinosaurs died out tens of millions of years before early man came along. Check out the video below for a look at how Samurai Jack handled action and emotion. A similar horrific tragedy binds these two unlikely characters and they have to learn to rely on each other to survive. Even our human is almost a beast himself. Early in my career I realized that accessible character relationships the true sign of a successful show and so for Primal I wanted to explore the relationship between man and beast on the most primal level. ItвЂ™s their relationship that really is the key to the show's success I think. 'Their bond is really a man and animal relationship in this brutal primordial world. 'We call the caveman SPEAR and the T-Rex FANG,' Tartakovsky said. The relationship they form is very much at the heart of the series. In some ways I donвЂ™t think of it as being dialogue-free, but we are trying to tell these stories in the most visceral way we can, and because our main characters canвЂ™t technically speak English we have to find new ways to emote.' Primal may not feature any traditional dialogue, but it does star two characters with names and clear needs and desires. 'When developing this show it was natural to not have dialogue as a caveman and dinosaur donвЂ™t naturally speak, and with the added success of Jack it came to me that could we actually make a show made of just those sequences.' When asked about his particular cinematic influences, Tartakovsky said, 'My love of visual sequences stems from live-action films like Sergio Leone westerns, Kurosawa, some 70вЂ™s action films, Tex Avery, and my general love of animated movement. WeвЂ™ve always done them and they always stand out,' Tartakovsky said. Tartakovsky told us that while he didn't necessarily enter into Primal with the intention of challenging himself to tell a completely dialogue-free story, that approach was just 'natural.' 'After the success of the last season of Samurai Jack I noticed people really responded to the silent sequences.

It's the rare animated series to place a real value on silent scenes, allowing imagery to tell a story in place of words. Silence is one of the real hallmarks of Samurai Jack.

So when doing something adult we are free to do something more complex and sophisticated.' The more you do, the more confidence you get but itвЂ™s very complex and sometimes very elusive. ItвЂ™s something that I learned that comes from the gut. Of course, during my Cartoon Network years we were making shows for kids so there is a built-in system of things you can do and not do, but we definitely pushed stories and the way we told them, even the early days of Dexter.' Tartakovsky continued, 'The more stories you tell the better you begin to understand what youвЂ™re doing, and at the same time, story is something that I donвЂ™t think you can ever master or reduce to a formula. It makes things very easy when the people you are working for have trust and believe in you and actually really like and respect your work. 'The very first episode of Dexter's Lab was greenlit and overseen by Mike Lazzo who was back then the head of programming at Cartoon Network in its very beginnings and now he is my boss for Primal. 'I have been very fortunate for the most part of my career when it comes to support and trust,' he said. YES NOWe were curious how much the switch to Cartoon Network's Adult Swim brand has changed Tartakovsky's process is there a greater freedom that comes with the Adult Swim name, beyond superficial elements like violence? Tartakovsky told us storytelling freedom has never really been an issue at Cartoon Network, even in the days of Dexter's Lab. IвЂ™ve spent the last 25 years or so trying to find my point of view and refining it and with Primal it feels like it has come together in the strongest way possible.' 'As far as my approach, itвЂ™s always pretty much has been the same IвЂ™ve just been trying to improve with each episode, project, etc. 'At the end of the day itвЂ™s still completely traditional animation,' Tartakovsky said.

The main difference, he explained, is that the animation itself is done digitally through TV Paint rather than on actual paper, which helps speed up the overall process. To start, check out an exclusive new image from the series below: Tartakovsky told us his approach to animating Primal doesn't differ wildly from that of Dexter's Laboratory or Samurai Jack. His distinctive character designs and haunting environments couldn't be mistaken for the work of any other animator. As different as Primal is in terms of plot, tone and subject matter, it's also a series that should be instantly recognizable to fans of Tartakovsy's previous Cartoon Network projects.
