Even after 12 seasons of the Emmy-nominated series, Bob’s Burgers and creator Loren Bouchard show no sign of slowing down. In May of this year, Bouchard and his team released their feature length film The Bob’s Burgers Movie, which they have been working on simultaneously along with the series. Bouchard says the movie inspired them to “take bigger swings” in season 12, resulting in a two part finale, with the first part “Some Like It Bot Part 1: Eighth Grade Runner” being submitted for Emmy consideration. The series is nominated for the Outstanding Animated Program Emmy this year, totaling 13 nomination and two wins since the series premiered in 2011.
DEADLINE: Why was “Some Like It Bot Part 1: Eighth Grade Runner” chosen for Emmy consideration?
LOREN BOUCHARD: It had a lot of passion in it. All of our episodes have all of our passion in them, but this one was a real passionate project. My co-showrunner Nora Smith and I wrote it and it was very much coming off of the movie. The Bob’s movie really inspired us to take bigger swings in terms of storytelling that feel a little more cinematic, you know, has a little bit of a bigger scope. We had visuals tell the story a little more than we’ve ever done, and we were really satisfied and happy with how it came out. It felt like the show as it can exist now that we know how to make a feature film.
DEADLINE: Would you say that the feature film affected the entire season?
BOUCHARD: I mean, everything affects everything. For us, it’s especially complex, you know, we have COVID making it a little harder to make the show, and then we have the movie kind of inspiring us to make the show bigger. And they’ve been in conflict somewhat with each other over the last several years. All of us
