They may parrot whatever talking points the elite wants them too, but animators do have my sympathy for getting screwed five ways to Sunday by big biz...the good and talented ones anyways.


Good to see one scoring a victory against corporate America.
 
Something similar happened with the guy who did Bill & Mandy, yeah.
God damnit. Max Atoms is one of the nicest guys, and he made one of the best cartoons in CN history.

And he tries to come back but some kinda SAG contract bs screwed him over.
I would trade a million We Bare Bears or OK KO episodes for one more Underfist or Dead Meat special.

I guess we gotta wait until the Cartoon Cartoon era is nostalgically profitable.
 
Good for him. I know this is very rare for animators for instance I always feel bad for the creator of KND for not getting to do his sequel series.

Same with the creator of Making Fiends. Her work is just sitting in the legal clutches of Nick and she isn't allowed to do anything with it while it just rots with time. I'd be seething tbh.

I remember watching making fiends on the Nicktoons network and wondering why there aren't that many episodes, then I read about what Nickelodeon did, you could make entire threads about the times Nick fucked over creators, Harvey Beaks was cancelled and CH Greenblatt wasn't informed of it until he heard about it on Twitter and Tumblr.
Angry Beavers didn't air its final episode because the titular characters outright mentioned it was the final episode, only audio of it exists which I recommend you listen to it's total chaos.
 
I can see why a lot of animators are just making their own stuff and posting it on YouTube rather than deal with big companies own the rights to their shit, honestly. It may come out slower, but at least you can actually work on the thing you made if you want to.

Yeah sad cases where corporations fucked over content creators for Billy and Mandy and KND despite making a popular show for them they still screwed both guys over.

Making Fiends is even worse since it was her creation that she made online and Nickelodeon simply picked it up. And they just cancelled with no notice and she can't do anything with it ever since. What sucks too is like you said it's justs rotting in the Nickelodeon vult and it's clear Nickelodeon has no plans for it. So you would think they give it to her but no.

So even if You hate Final Space or love it. The fact that a cartoon creator could be able to finish his work is a very positive message.

And despite Making Fiends getting cancelled, Amy Winfrey had still gotten work in the industry, most notably as a director for certain episodes of BoJack "sad relatable normal words but a" Horseman.

The episode with just the audio is even funnier as it's just Rich and Nick screwing around as always. It's a delight.

Would love to see if someone made a fanmade animatic with just this audio alone to try and see how they'd intrepret this episode playing out.
 
With all this talk about unfinished cartoons, it reminds me of a recent interview Genndy Tartakovsky did where he stated that he'd love to continue Sym-Bionic Titan.

Still my fav clip.
Alright if you guys had to have a pair of directors to make a movie with a plot you think would be good what would it be?
For a pair I'd have Genndy and Ralph make another sword and sorcery movie but with even more ludicrous elements like Ronal the Barbarian.
 
This clip really bothers me, like she's acting like a complete cunt and people are praising it

The whole concept for Ghost and Molly McGee felt like a letdown. The way the show was advertised, I figured it would be more about Molly trying to hide her new ghost friend from her family, but instead it's just random shit with the ghost inserted. Also Molly's voice annoys the shit out of me.

As someone who’s on the spectrum, I wish people would stop encouraging autistic people with shit like this.

It’s not helping anybody.
I hope to god this doesn't create a new wave of retards being assholes to people and then saying "tee hee just stemming"
I understand your feelings, but I don’t think it will.

A lot of autistic people are extremely retarded, but they fear retaliation and consequences.

Watched Disney's 1953 Peter Pan. It was really hard not to think stupid shit like "oh man this wouldn't fly today", I hate when the kind of woke social conditioning takes over. I just wanna enjoy watching the movie and not think about modern politics.
