Western Animation - Discuss American, Canadian, and European cartoons here (or just bitch about wokeshit, I guess)

To be fair, it’s not a very high bar but still a silver lining.

Let me put it like this; it wasn't some toxic woke agitprop and I think it's a perfectly fine family film. Had some very nice animation in certain parts (even if the less action heavy parts of it was kinda bland/forgettable looking) and it didn't have a toxic message or much in the way of weird inappropriate content.

And yet they still won’t upload Buzz Lightyear of Star Command onto D+. The movie already flopped, there’s frankly nothing to lose at this point.

I couldn’t have seen this coming. Hopefully the animation massacre won’t be too bad, Jesus…

If Genndy Tartakovsky and Craig McCracken's stuff survives it, the rest can burn as far as I care.

Just saw Luck was a lot worse than I thought. The Animation is on Par with Grub Hub and a little better than Food Fight. I hope you like this song:
they play it about 3 or 4 times. It was like a bad Dollar Store Disney rip off movie of Monster Inc with a slightly bigger budget. Also Whoopi Goldberg is in it for no reason. The rule 34 of the Dragon and The Unicorn in this movie will be scary.

Guess I'll have to check that (and also Prey) out. Must be on the same level of animation quality as SFM videos, I assume?

The Sea Beast is pretty good, until it hits that point in the cliche action-adventure story plot where it becomes nonstop action scenes and goes up its ass with seriousness. It also has a kid that's way too precocious, but it's a kid movie so what can you do. Very cool animation style that feels like live action movement with distinctive, artistic characters, really nice backgrounds, interesting setting.

I mean, literally that have furry NSFW scenes and a fucking bizarre human mating between.
I need to wash my eyes with chlorine.

Furries didn't even exist back then you swine. That's good old-fashioned bestiality like God intended.

All that hope that the magic once given to us as children by Pixar would be revived by the man himself after taking a new leaf, and all we're left with is disappointment and degeneracy.

Welcome to the harsh reality we all live in now, enjoy your stay. :drink: :smug:


Well in an effort to cheer you all up...


I'm a little late but here's don Bluth's "lost" short film banjo the woodpile cat.


from the description: Banjo the Woodpile Cat is a 1979 animated short film directed by Don Bluth. It follows the story of Banjo, an overly curious and rebellious kitten who, after getting into trouble for falling from a house to see if he could land on his feet, runs away from his woodpile home in his owners' farm in Payson, Utah by catching a truck to Salt Lake City. Produced in a shoestring budget, and created in Bluth's garage, the film took four years to make and it was the first production of Don Bluth Productions, later Sullivan Bluth Studios. It premiered theatrically on November 16, 1979, and at the USA Film Festival one year later. It was released on DVD by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment on May 20, 2014

Cross-post with the DC thread

Wanted to write in here as I recently watched League of Super Pets and no one between this thread or western animation has said anything about it.

My thoughts: The movie was surprisingly really good. I went in expecting a mediocre film and came out thoroughly enjoying the film. Nothing about the film screamed exceptional, but it flowed well and remained humorous till the end. It even had some well done sad moments. Overall, a good 7-8/10, it is a good watch if curious.

Here I will go into more detail about the film and plot, so if you want a fresh experience don’t click the spoiler tag:
The plot of the film centers around two conflicts. The first is Krypto and his unease over the idea that he will be replaced as Superman’s best friend now that Lois has entered the picture. This was brought on by two dogs telling him that he will be more removed from Supe’s life now that he has Lois and that Supe’s wants to get rid of him. Krypto then gets into a fit and tries to keep the couple apart. This part also highlights that Krypto is not very well socialized to be with anyone but Superman (his only friend) as he doesn’t act like a dog.

The second plot deals with the new League of Super Pets. Ace the hound, PB the Pig, Merton the Turtle, Ch’p the Squirrel, and Lulu the Guinea Pig. All of them want to break out of the shelter with the first 4 animals wanting to go to the mythical farm where they can be free, while Lulu wants world domination and is building a device.

The two plots begin to meet up when Lex Luthor brings down a meteor full of orange kryptonite that will give him powers. The Justice League defeat Lex, who for some reason was unaffected by the Kryptonite. During this, a piece of the meteor is brought down by Lulu and crashes into the shelter, giving all the animals powers. Lulu leaves the others to die in the fire caused by the crash, straining their relationship. Afterwards, Lulu kidnaps Superman as revenge for Krypto freeing her from her owner Lex Luthor, in a surprisingly done twist. From there she enacts her plan to impress Lex by capturing the Justice League, creating an army of guinea pigs, and freeing Lex from prison. She also injected Kryptonite into Krypto, so no powers. Now Krypto must learn to get along with the Super Pets to save his buddy.

From there the plot does some interesting stuff. Of course, we have the Krypto learns to be a dog, he learns to understand his new friends so he can guide them into using their powers, the you guys are my friends and I don’t want you to get killed for my mistake so I must go alone scene, yada yada. Nothing is original, but it is handled well. A good twist was that Lex betrays Lulu, which then comes back to bite him as Lulu breaks free from the cell she broke him out of.

The goood:
  • The connections between Krypto and Lulu are great. Lulu fuels Krypto’s insecurities by speaking on how her owner loves her. Lulu was Lex’s guinea pig, literally and figuratively and she cannot see the clear abuse between the two. Lex was doing nothing more than testing on her, but it made her feel important and cherished in a way Krypto doesn’t feel currently.
  • Ace’s story was actually pretty sad. The idea that before the shelter he had a family was good. Personally I thought the family would die, but no, the writing was actually a lot smarter. Instead it wrapped into the themes of Krypto’s narrative. Ace’s family changed dynamics with the inclusion of a daughter. One night the toddler got loose and was about to tumble down the stairs till Ace grabbed her. When the parents came in they saw the daughter had a bite mark on her arm and deemed Ace unsafe for her. What I love about the story is that even though Ace was betrayed, he understood why and continued to love the family regardless. I love his I wouldn’t change what happened speech. He makes a point to Krypto that if he truly loves someone, he has to be willing to let go.
  • The humor. The film had some great jokes. A personal favorite is the Justice League hotline which says press 1 for Earth 1, press 2 for Earth 2. I also love Mertle as she took me by surprise when she started cussing. The movie isn’t a comedic masterpiece, but the jokes definitely get a good chuckle.

Lightyear dropped on Disney Plus today, so I figured I'd give it a watch because I had nothing better to do. I'm really glad I didn't pay for a ticket to see this in an actual cinema. It's so boring.

Absolutely, It’s one of the most tedious Pixar films I’ve ever sat through, say what you want about predatory trash like Turning Red at least it’s not sullying an already established franchise and the controversy around the film is funny enough as it is. No one is going to remember Lightyear in the future years, it’s up there with Brave in terms of forgettable Pixar films.

Anyone watched the new Beavis and Butthead episodes, honestly I thought they were pretty good, now in addition to music videos they watch YT videos and TikToks.

The nu-flash animation is still very distracting with some character designs being out of place in certain areas. Otherwise, I absolutely love it. I even liked it a bit more than its recent movie.
