That might be your interpretation of the series, but my interpretation is that the series is about an animation who gains sentience and rebels against his Animator. While the Chosen One only appears in two out of the six episodes, the story of each of those episodes is his struggle against the Animator.

Take the Nightmare On Elmstreet movies. Each movie features a different protagonist being terrorized by Freddy Krueger. Freddy may be the sole recurring character, but he's also presented as the antagonist in each of the movies.

While we clearly disagree as to who is the protagonist and who is the antagonist, the Animator is the one who initiates the conflict by forcing the Chosen One to be in his animation, making him the antagonist by default.
