For me personally, I would choose composer (for a few tracks) and showrunner.

If "Director" was unavailable, I'd prefer "Consultant" - advise the writer(s), director(s) and producer(s) but ultimately only provide advice, but no real "power" beyond that - and maybe do a walk on role for a scene.

Edit: Voted Director's Accomplice just to see what the votes were...

I'd prefer to just do my own thing and let them handle it, with the stipulation that I get to look over everything before it's finalized.

I'm not that good of a writer , to dream about this.
but I'd hate it if a character I created is misrepresented , so unless they want to alter the story, I'll be there to haunt them

I would demand full control over casting. If they don't look like my characters, than they are rejected. No swapping-nonsense.

I'd also demand final say on the script. If I see changes that alter my work in a way I'm not comfortable with, they would be edited until acceptable. That, or removed altogether.

I would DEFINITELY have a lawyer present to help enforce all of this because the people in movie production companies are slimy as hell.

I'd want to be a consultant with ultimate VETO power. If they try to make anyone anything they aren't, Veto. If they try to make Nury a guy, or Aise a girl (or worse, make Seymour a girl!), I'd want power to veto these choices. They were made as they are for a specific reason.

But that’s the best part. :blob_evil: :blob_cookie: :meowsip:

I'll do that when I decide I don't want any control :blobrofl:
:blob_ghost:
But yeah, knowing how the industry is today. Makes it a bit difficult to decide if you want to go through with it if you do get the opportunity.

The way they handle it can affect perception.

You’re probably better off hiring one of those fan animators than them. ?

Agreed. If I ever decide to break into an animated medium, I'd probably go a similar route to Vivziepop (Hazbin hotel). Make a pilot with some friends, hope to get an offer from a big company. I'd likely decline disney merely on the basis that it's disney.

Or better yet, get sponsored by Raid Shadow Legends. :blob_evil:
