Why do they do nothing interesting with the hair like, at all? At least Pretty Cure always has the hairstyle change whenever they untie it and let it go loose, this just turns them into generic mermaids. They could've had the clothes relate to their personalities or maybe even based them off of different kinds of sea coral, but no.
Hair is expensive to animate, please understand.
She's a dwarf or something.
I went into that trailer expecting it to be awful — but I was pleasantly surprised. It looks like a classic space/scifi story that could be tons of fun. I’m actually low-key optimistic about it.
Yep, we lowered the bar pretty low for this.
I mean, when you have two contemporary sci-fi series (Dune and Foundation) getting well received adaptions, more modern properties just feel uninspired. Lightyear does look like it'll be fun.
I’ll agree with Dune doing well (although I’m hearing more that it’s okay from the scifi fans). Foundation is also “just okay” from the 10 people all over the world who’ve seen it. I guess I was thinking of Star Wars/Trek films being at their nadir.
"So you whizzed on the electric fence, huh?"
It's the funnest game in the whole world!
Fun fact: the name was originally "Don't Pee on the Electric Fence." The Nick executives didn't like that and made them change it, arguably for the better.
The inverse happened with the South Park movie: There's a scene in the movie where the kids discover a porn flick starring Cartman's mom. Originally the video was of her having sex with a horse, but after the MPAA shot it down, they resubmitted a longer version where she ate human feces. They meant it as a big fat "fuck you for trying to tell us what to do," but the censors thought it was fine.
I remember about a decade ago where Cartoon Network aired Christmas specials in July for some sort of ratings stunt.
I love the behind the scenes stuff where writers would sometimes purposely put in raunchy jokes just to piss off or make the censors laugh, knowing that the censors will take the stuff out.
Not even that. This was several years later, well after the CCF era.
I think that’s why a lot of modern cartoons tend to fail. If they’re adult cartoons, they don’t have to be as clever to get jokes past the censors, so the writing isn’t as good, and other cartoons think “adult jokes” are sperging about current year politics in the most unoriginal way ever.
