Unanimated Buffy
Unanimated Buffy

Sarah Michelle Gellar says she's too busy to do toon.

Talking to Sci Fi Wire, Sarah Michelle Gellar says she didn't sign to do the Buffy cartoon because she just didn't have the time.

"I don't do something unless I can commit 110 per cent, and I just can't say that three times a month or this week I could actually, absolutely do an animated show."

Sarah was unsure that further Buffy adventures are called for.

"I think Buffy went out when it was still on top. I felt like we came back in that last season, did the show we wanted to do. I was really happy. I don't know why, then, you go back. What can Buffy do?

Sarah was also less than happy with the proposed storyline for the animated series.

"I remember the pitch to me about the cartoon was like, 'She can turn into things and have magical powers.' To me, that wasn't what Buffy was about. To me, Buffy was a real girl. These were metaphors for real demons. This was about how, in high school, the demons of high school literally become these monsters. So I'm not sure why you'd make an animated show. And no one showed me a script."
