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

New clip for the Proud Family sequel series is out

This isn't a bad sneak peek.
It sounds good, it looks good and even feels like a clip from the old show was given animation like the Iron Giant Director's Cut. Although the animation is less snappy and more slow. It reminds me of Birdgirl and I was so sure I drank enough to forget that shit.

Pour one out for Peter. He went through a bit of a rough life, its a little sad if you look into it.

I'm starting to think this guy in the HGS thread was right...

Anyone with a picrew avatar or who says "yikes" unironically needs gallons of sperm pumped out of their stomach.

 

[Fougaro]

As a kid back in the 90s I watched the Mighty Ducks cartoon and thought it was fucking rad without even the slightest hint of irony.

 

[Bread Fetishist]

I guess they quickly forgot about it, just like when they forgot about attacking Wes Archer for making a GIF of a cop riding a Donut Motorcycle

Everyday, I grow more and more thankful that I decided not to become an animator. Or at least, not to join this shitty industry.

The issue with that of working within animation, games, entertainment is how social it is, only because networking is technically essential if you want to break in (aside from having a solid portfolio) If I were to finally get a real industry job only to find out potential co-workers are openly shit-talking an industry veteran over petty shit like cop riding a donut motorcycle, I'd be discouraged from wanting to work for the animation industry too.

When I suggested a thread, this was exactly what I meant.

Disney's answer to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles but still a fun watch 20 something years later

A friend of mine is doing the 'Bill Plympton' method of just doing it independently. At least the newgrounds animators have better standards to not be shitheads like these twits.

'Dude if you try to destroy the Earth again I'm gonna punch you, I'm not kidding!'

The muffled 'NOO PROBLEEEM' murdered me.

Apple just revealed that the movie that Skydance Animation is working on now has been pushed back to August. The movie itself doesn't sound too promising. It already sounds like its cursed bad luck. We'll likely get a trailer around Summer or so.

90’s cartoons had some of the most earworm openings ever, I swear.

Oh come on, guys, it can't have been that ba-

In 2013, he pleaded guilty to threatening and stalking both his ex-girlfriend and a plastic surgeon who gave her a breast enhancement he paid for.

He also spent time behind bars for making criminal threats to a San Diego County sheriff.

Relatives told Fox 5 San Diego that Robbins committed suicide.

......JESUS CHRIST. Don't become a child star, kids - 9 times out of 10, it will fuck you up royally. Fuckin' F, man......

Edit: to add to the discussion of earwormy cartoon themes, and to lighten the mood a bit - the ALF cartoon's theme song legit slaps:

 

[Steamboat_Bill]

He wasn't that much of a child star, but if you played Charlie Brown, you were gonna make the news. That could not have helped.

Most of those Saban-Levy themes were pretty good, though.

 

[Trilby]

Reminded of Pamelyn Ferdin, at least she managed to move on well after voicing Lucy.

 

[SteelPlatedHeart]

It’s rarely remembered, but damn if that OP was hyped.

 

[AnOminous]

This being a good example of an ear-worm.

All of those Disney Afternoon cartoons did that.

And of course Duck Tales.

 

[Roast Chicken]

I watched a film (which is actually 3 short films) called The House on Netflix. It uses stop motion animation and the shorts are pretty entertaining. The second one involving the neurotic property developer is my favourite.

 

[Stuck Pooh]

And of course Duck Tales.

This reminds me - the intro to the German show Jim Button and Thomas the Engine Driver always felt super similair to the Duck Tales inro.

This cartoon has altogether been the third adaptation of Ende's book (of the same name) I think.
The first one being a rather successful marionette play from the 60's - 70's, that was pretty charming honestly, but the puppet design of jim did not age well

And a freaking anime adaptation
