Do these look or sound like TV quality to you guys? They're tests, yes, but he says he wants pitch this

I mean, TV quality animation is variable depending on the network, but in general, yes this kinda does. However, Sally's voice actress either needs to get better equipment and improve her acting or be recast.

Because all channels are animation that only play bad cartoons. He should read a book, watch a poster, or live life.

He's forgetting about, umm... 95% of the TV channels! But in all seriousness the person who made that put out the implication that he goes out of his way to watch stuff he hates, and pretend he doesn't. I've been in the same boat before...

I seriously hope I'm not inspiring any kind of weenery, but it would be pretty amusing if a Mr. Exit popped up with a cartoon in the works called Kidding Up where people age in reverse, like Benjamin Button and Chaplin's infamous description of how life should work. And who also makes review videos called Crapsack Cartoons and Commendable Cartoons.

Again, I don't want to inspire anything, not in the least, but the reactions would be interesting to see.

Would the Obvious Mr. Exit's favorite shows also be Spongebob and Family Guy?

Coming into this thread pretty late but I was lurking when @Nayolfa was posting here. Dunno if he's still here or not but I guess I'll note him this on dA. Hope it's not too off-topic.

Anyways, hey, I'm a sophomore animation student at an art college. I won't get into that, but I have a good idea on how the animation industry works and I'm in the process of getting my portfolio approved for internships. @Nayolfa, if you any questions, please feel free to ask.

I encourage you (and MrEnter) to sit down and think about what you're doing and take a break from Growing Around. Take a day or a week off, even a month if you can. Work on other projects, practice storyboarding and animating, and watch some cartoons for inspiration. When you return back to your Growing Around, read some of the critique and feedback you got back on this project (that's not nice comments from deviantArt). Really think about the comments you received and focus on ways you can improve.

It's okay if your project bad and not everyone loves it. It's okay to scrap months of hardwork and to start over. The actual learning process is figuring out what does and doesn't work, not building on top of a bad foundation and hoping for the best.

With that being said, I honestly can't see Growing Around getting picked up by anyone. It's very stale, it doesn't stand out, and it doesn't take any chances. The biggest problem with this series is that you have no idea how the world works. You don't. And the world that the characters are living in is important. You have a different explanation every time when someone questions the lore and that's a giant red flag. All of this stuff should be worked out before you even start typing your script.

Actually, I'll be honest here. I'm more interested in watching a cartoon about how the world of Growing Around came to be than watching the Disney sitcom set-up you have now. There's an idea in there somewhere but you guys are refusing to explore it. You're playing it too safe. I can actually imagine Growing Around being a kid-friendly Lord of the Flies, haha. I don't think I've ever seen that on a major network before.

And there are plenty of resources available if you need help with pitching a cartoon. Animation Development: From Pitch to Production and Makin' Toons: Inside the Most Popular Animated TV Shows and Movies are two books that I recommend. I checked those two books out from my school's library twice and I'm really glad that I read them (I still need to buy them when I get the chance). Also, Chris Oatley has a good blog post about creating a pitch bible.
