Cartoon Industry thread - Showcasing the Spergery of the Animation Industry

Since it's Christmas, I thought of specific moments from a particular show, Santa Inc.

Yes, that show is a pile shit that was made by people who despised Christmas, yet there is one good moment that the show had, the scene where Santa perfectly explained why Candy was woefully not qualified to be Santa, and funny enough, it's not because she is a woman.
The comments section of the trailer when it first dropped was amazing.

Lemme guess, Santa is somehow meant to be the bad guy of this too even though everything he said was reasonable?
 
Animation Workers Ignited posted this Grinch Parody "How the Zaz stole cartoons" (it's about how David Zaslav "Stole Cartoons" from them?)

Merry Christmas i guess.
From the thumbnail, it looked like a soyjak of Zazlav, especially the agents with sunglasses. Lol.
It's stuff like these that shows that the animation community really doesn't know their audience. Not everyone views media as a piece of high literature or art. Some people prefer watching movies as long as it's interesting and doesn't have anything pretentious shoved in their faces. The point of a movie, show, game, etc. is to entertain. If you want to send a message, do it right and do it efficiently. If the game's more of the developers shoving their political stances on strangers than the fact it's a game to enjoy, then the game's bound to become obsolete if all that's known of it is that "it's the game with the political yapping", and the only people who'll even mildly remember it are the people who are equal in the same stances as them.

This is why Illumination is so successful. Their movies wildly appeal to the broad audience, and while that can suck and lead to being as corporate and basic as possible (no one's gonna remember despicable me 4 lol), but for an entertainment industry, it's kind of a must if they want the profits to keep rolling. That's basic capitalism, everyone. Money is money and if more money is available, who wouldn't take the chances?

Because in the end, who knew appealing to a majority is financially better than to a minority? I mean, who would've thunk it?
Pretty much. If you want to find deeper meaning to things, go read a book, about it. Maybe if the author of the animation can release it, but it may sound pretentious in the end. Maybe just read about "The ethics of being a decent fucking person" and that's it. You will not be entertained and informed instead.

Apparently SU artist Amber/Danny Cragg has divorced their wife and changed their name.
Killgore sounds so fucking cool am I right?

Imagine being a 30-year-old man and letting edgy teenager choices like this dictate what your surname is. Hell, changing your name for any reason other than marriage IS a sign of immaturity. Your name is an integral part of your life and identity, you can't just go around changing it at every whim like it's your clothes.

Don't some cartoon fans have enough money to get physical media or just pirate the damn shows since Max is going to shit?
Either that or fucking pirate it. What's the big deal at this point?

To support the shows which we love, physical media would be welcome. Otherwise, pirate it. Or buy and rip the files, I guess.
 
It’s funny because David Zaslav the only animation CEO not removing faggot content from cartoons like Disney, dreamworks and Pixar.
I'd owe that to Zaslav being relatively hands-off with CN, outside all the cost cutting. He just doesn't see the value in CN or WB animation in general, and given it's current state I don't blame him.

They would have to pirate them because most of these shows aren't even available on physical media in their entirety. That's the downside of people praising physical media.

I don’t think either would matter in this case. They may have taken them down to license out to other platforms. It makes me wonder what else is leaving Max if they are gutting animation they believed in so much that they started broadcasting them again.
