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

[Odd Opossum]

Jesus is there any good way to be a fan of anything?

Just enjoy it by yourself and don't get involved in modern day internet communities/fandoms.
Or just don't watch modern day animation or else you get stuff like this.

Never forget they made a fart fetish episode for their toddler spinoff

You mean this entire show wasn't just a fart fetish outlet for the creators?

This indie cartoon got released on Youtube. You know its furry bait because Sabrespark likes it, but its also really impressive for an indie produced animation. Apparently its an animated adaptation of webcomic. I really love the 1920's aesthetic.

Finally got around to watching it, it's surprisingly good and not as furry bait as I thought it would be, rather it reminds me old Disney animation like Robin Hood. It also has a nice color pallete unlike the travesty that is HELLUVA BOSS

I think it's because it's based off a web comic from the 2000's. This was back in a time when Furries were held in universal contempt. Back before degenerate behavior became celebrated instead of shamed.

Furries are still mocked and are thought of as gross degenerates by most people who know of them.

The issue with furries is that they devolved hard after gaining prominence in the internet. Rather than funny animals they started being either weird Sonic level OC or hyper sexualized proportions.

that mocking is hardly universal anymore though
hell, furries seem like small game compared to some of the other shit we deal with now
for example, fucking a dog seems like small potatoes compared to grooming a bunch of kids into getting life-changing surgery before they can vote and roleplaying/acting out sex with adults three times their age

Ummm, how about both are equally as fucked up, and both types of offender should get the bullet?

Sadly, the majority of being in a fandom is more like being amongst a cult, whether it be for shows, music, games, books, etc.

I'm not disagreeing with that statement, just saying that degeneracy is now widespread and comes in different forms that're more attention-grabbing because they're more of an immediate threat/newer (depending on your circumstances). Both deserve the electric chair without question

Fakerats second season 2 releases on the 14th and surprise surprise it's a cheap imitation of the Rugrats movie from 98.

Sorry NUkelodeon, but dill pickles was born in November of 1998 and was only born once.

And you can't never ever recapture the magic of the past no matter what. If I may paraphrase Erwin Chargraff,

"You cannot recall a new form of the old."

Speaking of the original Rugrats movie, I still can't get over the fact that both Rakim and Busta fuckin' Rhymes made songs for the soundtrack.....and they both actually still slap to this day.

The 90s must've been a hell of a time to live in.

wasn't there an article sometime ago that had a headline "why the rugrats have always been queer icons." and the response was and anon saying "they're littlerally BABIES."?

Rugrats

Spongebob

Fairly Odd Parents

These shows are like shade ghosts, wandering spirits that will never find their rest. compare the clip from 98 to 2023. The original really captures the feeling of welcoming a new life into the world and even adds that little touch of Tommy handing Dr. Carmichael a chocolate coin cause his imagination literally interpreted this place as a baby store. The new one? It's as bland and soulless as any modern reboot made for a quick buck.

I ordered the lobster tail with garlic butter then send me an imitation crab stick and a bottle of parkay spray.

The only good thing about something being bigger than jesus is that it can make for some hilarious crossovers

It was arguably the last truly great decade to be a kid. (aside maybe the 2000's if you ignore the...problems with that decade that still impact us to this very day)

As I said some pages ago you had shows about mummies, sharks, dinosaurs, cowboys, ninjas. Everything boys go nuts for in addition you had the X-Men and Spider-Man animated series, Batman TAS, The Disney afternoon, Gargoyles, Nick and Cartoon Network at their peaks. The golden age of animation found new life, the Disney renaissance, the golden age of Pixar.


I sound like an old man and could go on like this for hours like one too.

No fucking kidding. How about Outkast rapping about smoking weed with Scooby Doo and the gang?

Please do, it's before my time and I'm kind of fascinated by it. What problems do you mean with that first comment, though? Overpoliticization or just the shitty quality of everything (TV animation in particular died a gruesome, gruesome death by the mid-2000s holy fuck)?

Well sonny pull up a chair and this old cat will tell you all about it. mhh but where to begin? mmhmhm Well to answer your question it's a little of both. A rugrats reboot could work in theory...but it's clear to me this new one was made as cheap and quick as possible just so viacom could have something to exclusively show on their paramount plus.

Sure the original show was made because nickelodeon wanted a new lineup of their own exclusive original animation to air on the network, but they at least gave the studios that made the original three nicktoons (spumco, jumbo, and klasky cuspo) time to actually work on putting effort into their shows.
