comments The Great North, the new adult animated series on Fox, gives its characters and its viewers a lot of room to let their imaginations roam. From depicting Alanis Morissette (yes,
the Alanis Morissette, who voices herself) as a floating torso who offers advice from the glow of the Aurora Borealis, to diving into a town-wide Feast of Not People festival, think of the show as a wacky, snow-covered cousin of Bob s Burgers.
That vibe is derived, in large part, from the experiences of Bob s Burgers writing partners and sisters Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Logelin, who found that growing up in the wide-open spaces of rural Indiana offered different opportunities for storytelling. It s one of the reasons they decided to set their new series The Great North in Alaska.
