You've also got to look at this as a potential job interview. They guy took years to get this project off the ground, barely knew what he was doing, and had to hire random mercenary artists and animators to do the heavy lifting for him, and none of them are part of a team or a studio he put together. Sure, he accomplished this on a shoestring budget, but did he prove that he could produce cartoons on his own, and would do even better with corporate backing, or did he just show that he could drag his ass over the finish line if given enough time?
There's kids still in art school right now who can do better work than Pan did with all the help he could find and 15k of his own money. If you were hiring, would you hire the guy who has a shitty reputation and tons of stupid e-drama around him, or would you poach some of that young talent into one of the studios you already use to produce better cartoons?
