Cartoon Industry thread - Showcasing the Spergery of the Animation Industry

There's an urban legend that the writers of Rugrats produced worse shit than this as an coping mechanism.
And one of those writers was Steve Ressell

Who would later end up being exposed as a Child Groomer

It's not just an urban legend, some of it surfaced but it's mild compared to the stuff that's lost to time.

Yeah, it's nothing new that a lot of Nick employees have done some pretty creepy things, like inserting their fetishes into the shows they make. Take for example, Bella and the Bulldogs

Edit: There's also a couple of videos that do a pretty good job at explaining this stuff

Great thread idea, glad it came to fruition.
Seems the Nimona movie has been picked up by Netflix

Boy will this be a trainwreck...
What do the kids like? They like Frozen. And they like Link from the legend of Zelda. Do something like that.

I know the animation industry is a incestuous CalArts cesspool but it still baffles me how unoriginal these people all are.
 
Another thing about Concrete. Make that two. Specifically the bottom.

Everytime I see the Concrete concept I think of Klayman:

Which might not be a crazy take? Am I the only one who sees this? In one interview I recall her mentioning Skullmonkeys was one of her inspirations, which is a really strange fact considering the creator of those games is ultra conservative and a complete polar oposite of Rebecca Sugar.

There’s an episode of Uncle Grandpa that aired a few years back that had a pretty racist and sexist joke … that no one picked up on or cared about lol

There was a mystery box and everyone was imagining what cool stuff could be inside the box.

Belly bag (or whatever) imagined it to be “knock off purses desperate for a green card” - then a bunch of Chinese looking/sounding purses were drawn trying to seduce him.

I’ve been trying to find the clip but can’t. It was on YouTube years ago but I lost it.

Anyway, “that’s xenophobic and racist and sexist and AAPI HERITAGE MONTH folx. Do better. I am so TIRED.”

But if you find it, let me know. I wanna see who the writer(s) are and if they posted any SocJus shit.
 
Cartoonist being weirdos is hardly surprising.

What i always found most peculiar is how all these american show creators all seem to come from the same school or couple schools,, are dating each other, relating each other or are friends with each other, they are never more than a few links from each other. Nepotism seems pretty rampant, specially when they are making garbage and is hard to understand why they keep getting it greenlighted that it becomes very obvious.

So, what are the chances that these cartoons have had their animation outsourced for a lot of it? If it's very likely, then it's pretty hypocritical for these types to go on about wages when Kim Lee Chung is working for less than $3 an hour over in South Korean sweatshops.
the saddest part is that those koreans are 100x more skilled in every possible way than the rich american kids who develop the show. They have to waste their efforts animating the bad tumblr ocs.

.....I don't want to know if that second mouse has something up her cooch or in.
I know he's known for "Devilman Crybaby" and "Cutie Honey" so it's not that shocking/I've seen this set in the Farms before.
You're thinking of Go Nagai, who at the very least has never pretended he wasn't a giant deviant. Tezuka made Astro Boy, which features far too many images of robot oil going up Astro's robot boy butt.
 
Why cant these people reframe from puting fetishes in kids cartoons ? How does a girl who takes pictures of boobs get a job making kids shows?
They sort of mistaken their DeviantArt with it being actually “artistic” and something worth salivating over.
