Ok, I have to do a 20 min. animations and I've made the scripts. My question is: How can I know how much text is needed for a full 20 min animation? I have 3000-3500 words on average, but I doubt it matters (as episodes include non-written text such as fights, running scenes etc.) This is putting me down..Should I start by recording audio and see how long it is totally, because I'd prefer to avoid that...
Got a tip for us?

PS: Normally, one page of a formatted script (movie or teleplay) is one minute of filmed/animated content.

Spinnerlys is correct - that is the rule of thumb that writers use. You just have to be sure to format your script to industry standards.
But what you could do is write a few more pages than you need - or a few less - and tweak the length in editing.
Take two directors with the same script and the running length of each result will be different depending on pacing etc.
