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

[SaidTheSpider]

is there other stuff that's similarly animated cat things for cats?
he doesn't get high enough for fantadroms

I don't know any more animated movies that fit the bill off the top of my head, but maybe you could show him letsplays of Stray or Little Kitty, Big City? (Or play them yourself if you like.)

he's been "oh yeah that's cool I guess" for those videos of cats with a camera strapped to them and it's first-person view
dunno how he'd do with videogames, but yeah the layer of abstraction seemed to make a big difference for him getting "this is a thing to watch to see what happens" more than "things are happening"

I'm not sure what you mean in the second line, but both of the games I mentioned are 3rd person POV, so he'll be able to see the cats on screen.

yeah like, he seems to get that live cat cam from some shelter is just some random cats fucking around on the other side of the screen and no connection to him, but he really sat intently watching with Flow Cat being framed as the focus of the movie
I suspect it not being totally A Real Cat helps too, like how spergs identify better with bright cartoon sonics

Are you all ready for the savior of Western Animation to drop on the 24th?

That's right. Our boy RebelTaxi is getting ready to drop 95% of his pilot for his new series LOKI IRL at Momocon. He already showed off some of it in a stream a few days ago in a now unlisted stream, but will be releasing the majority of the pilot at the event.

For those who don't know, LOKI IRL was YouTuber RebelTaxi's decade+ long project that he tried to get green lit at Adult Swim, leading to the humiliation ritual below - watch at your own risk:

The plot of the series is that a female cartoonist lives in a world where cartoon characters can come to life and do battle similar to a Digimon or Yu-Gi-Oh!. The cartoon characters are known as IRLs (In Real Lifes) and work as stands for their creators. At one point, the main character Bianca stumbles upon a long supressed IRL known as LOKI, a villain who feeds on people knowing/acknowledging him. The two will work together to enter the tournament and defeat other IRLs.

.....please tell me you meant that facetiously and you weren't being serious. That literally sounds like every other modern cartoon's plot in existence. ofc, execution matters more than concept, but that trailer didn't convince me.

 

[Tom Bombodildo]

We all know the best thing about animation is the ability to self-reference and tell meta-stories about drawing and animation. The best stories brought to life by artists are always stories about being an artist with a touch of whatever flavor of the month media they've been enjoying. Surely this is the peak of human creativity.

I kinda hope he manages to succeed because I have no idea what to expect. His first time around at pitching this was a complete clusterfuck worthy of lulz, so if he manages to pull his weight the second time around, then I'm all for whatever happens after. Concept's a bit cringe, but I don’t immediately hate the artstyle of this (even if it is a bit of an obvious riff on Panty & Stocking's artstyle), it sure as shit beats beanmouth/twitter trannygooner/Hazbin art so I'll give it that.

dude this looks like a modern masterpiece, Like I'm serious, dude.
Like this could sit on a pedestal next to No Country For Old Men. Oscar-Worthy. 100%.

Look, who here isn't excited for the inevitable Ruby Gloom Girl arc where Pan cries about trying to get a girl who wore a Hot Topic t-shirt. Maybe he will even reassure them of them still being valuable even if they are a loser:

Cannot forget the inevitable Troon-Out Saga:

Yes I am being an asshole. I used to love Pan's old videos and maybe if this was made a decade ago, it would be great, but now, no. Pan has been falling off the deep end since at least the late 2010s with that 2020 Adult Swim interview I posted really being the ultimate nail-in-the-coffin to any career this dude could have. He used to be really funny and have a high production value back in 2011-2013, but he really fell off with that podcast he made. Since then he has become an ultra neet with a humiliation fetish, getting F'd over by his leftwing friends and tranny girlfriend. I think everyone is bracing for impact for when this fails, as he will then likely try and go full 2000s goth girl and troon out.

Fucking sad, even worse that he was technically the "best" of the cartoon community.

 

[Doctor of Autism]

Not to be a dick to this guy since I imagine it is hard losing your chance at making a show you wanted, but he seemed pretty dodgy about all the IP characters that were corrupted in the show. Like based on the leaks, this show sounded like a nightmare of copyright rights

 

[Arbiter]

Does he voice Loki? Because the autism affectation is coming through way too strongly. He needs to recast if it becomes a thing. Also holy fuck that pitch, I can't get through it.

"No one wanted original content"

My nigger in christ, your "show" only got so popular because it's a fucking Pooh's Adventure crossover autismfest with an actual budget. Miss me with that "original content" malarkey when manchildren wouldn't soyface if it wasn't an IP sharing nightmare.

Not sure, but it is pretty obviously his voice at the end when they start talking about voice actors. I just cannot tell if that is the voice Loki has for the full series or Pan just doing a bit. Felt like his voice changed from start to end.

It’s dumber than that.

This faggot’s plan was for the actual show to literally instead be a bait and switch screed AGAINST “meme/remix culture” which the entire fandom was predicated on. On the same network which brought you Space Ghost and Harvey fucking Birdman.

I fucking wonder why Adult Swim didn’t want it.

Bros, it is so fucked.....

The teaser trailer for Shrek 5 didn't give anything away as far as the story goes. It provided the release date, Zendaya's cast news, and the major revelation about the animation change, which left people up in arms. However, according to industry insider MyTimeToShineHello, Shrek 5 is going to see Shrek and Donkey transported to the real world, the human world that everyone lives in. This would obviously split the duo away from the other characters that fans know and love, which feels like an instant mistake as the chemistry between them has been built up over the previous four movies and is ultimately what people want to see take place.

There could be some opportunities for interesting storytelling with Shrek and Donkey in the human world, but this feels like a significant risk because it's so far removed from what the franchise has been built upon. Audiences expect to see certain things in a Shrek movie, and setting the majority of it within a human environment feels like the opposite of that for most people. It's a major change for the franchise, and doing that after four movies is a tough decision to make. It proves that Dreamworks is willing to think outside the box, but this has a high chance of falling flat for specific reasons.

God-fucking-damn it. Enchanted was 20 years ago, you're literally too late for the boat there.

Guess we can thank God TikTok doesn't truly exist in Shrek universe, but that teaser was such an omen.

Lemme guess, they’re going to end up in New York City. It’s always fucking NYC. I know Enchanted was brought up, but I’m personally having flashbacks to those live action Smurfs movies with the horrifying looking CGI Smurfs.

Or the Woody Woodpecker one, or the Garfield one, or the Chipmunks ones...I swear those "live-action everyman meets classic cartoon in REAL LIFE" movies are a dime a dozen. You could probably find a DVD with all of those movies on it at the dollar store.
