Cartoon Industry thread - Showcasing the Spergery of the Animation Industry

PS. the person who wrote this episode looks like this in real life

Speaking of Disney. There were some pencil tests made for Encanto right around before the gay bill was revealed, and a lot of artists were commenting that 'Disney should do it as a 2D film', along with doing another 2D feature again. Most the comments were from professional artists that had worked on small projects while working on projects on their own. Laughable.
Disney wants nothing to do with traditional 2d stuff because it's costly and too slow. Details elude me but there's a story about some 2d film they deliberately sabotaged so it would perform poorly as an excuse to axe all of their 2d studios and make the switch to just 3d stuff only.

The Princess and the Frog, which has a terrible title, was about niggers, and was not about a princess. And it was still quite profitable, just not the mega hit they wanted. Ultimately it's just they wanted to go woke more than they wanted to make good movies so they've been making dumb decisions ever since.

This is so absurd I want really badly to like it, but the clip I looked at was brain damage bad. Bad/cheap animation (the style is made for low budget, but.. holy crap!), dead voice acting, and awful writing. With solid writing and better direction this might have been fun. Isn't part of philosophy behind this design style to be shifting budget from animation to writing? GREETINGS, FELLOW HUMAN CHILDREN falls apart so fast and so badly with shitty web comic tier writing, and having it in a scifi/fantasy world makes it so much worse.

The character designs kind of remind me of the comics that you’d see on Tumblr. If you go on the SJW Art & Extremes thread, you’d probably see some close examples to it.

From what I've heard, it's basically the same tier writing from O.K. K.O.

Besides, it's not like we're missing out on much.

I unironically think there's some charming and interesting gems floating in a sea of sex, sexuality, trans, race, and fat obsessed shit in that thread. But I'm also kind of a fan of this sort of style that draws from the cheap mid 90's MTV and Cartoon Network stuff, that in its own way has roots in 50's-70's UPA and UA commercials and shorts. Mixing that with some of the stuff that was floating around Tumblr before the pron purge doesn't bother me.

This just looks so absurd that it might have been fun, and with a low budget and competent production could have survived with a modest audience. But at no level were fucks given, so it ends up in the landfill of throw away kids cartoons.

Fuck, I'm not even going to look at that. My brain bled enough from that Thundercats thing.
 
since you're accepting OP help, can you elaborate why exactly these people can be? just listing the names and credits doesn't tell us very much about them.
Well, Rebecca Sugar is the creator of Steven Universe and an Tumblr native; which partially explains why an half-decent show went to shit. But I don't know if there's any drama associated with her.

As for the rest, I'm not exactly sure because I don't read Twitter; but I've heard that the guy behind Gravity Falls is either an conspiracy theorist or an virtue signaller.

And there's also the fact that he pulled this.

For years, Hirsch has been a hard left-wing equivalent to Alex Jones (as with any other shitty left-wing celebrities currently working in either NYC or Hollywood).

Treasure Planet was the movie that was intentionally sabotaged, very little advertising and the advertising they did do intentionally spoiled the end of the movie.
