I've never understood the point of doing this. It rarely looks any better than the original and most of the time, just looks weird.

It is weird, I blame our sudden desire for anything to be 60fps or more these days given the way games are. Applying that logic to hand-drawn animation just seems unnecessary, also diminishes the point of how, even at 24fps, we're able to see it move like that with our eyes.

I have no idea why anyone would want to do it. Most media wasn't made for it. Tom and Jerry at 60fps moves like a shitty Flash cartoon.

It is with a heavy heart that I have to break the news: we just lost Chris Reccardi.
He was, undoubtedly, one of the greats in animation. He was a big part of Ren and Stimpy, especially in the Games years, and worked on just about everything great since then - you name it, he worked on it. He was a great all-around artist.
What a loss the world of animation just suffered.

Now that is really a loss.
Here's a short pilot he made for CN...

Checking out his IMDB, I see the last thing he worked on is being a storyboard artist on the upcoming "Lady & The Tramp", which I think is the Disney+ thing. Interesting he was involved on that.

While we're at it, consider the last thing he worked on for Ren and Stimpy, "Ren's Brain," written back in the Spumco days but only put into production for the last season. He directed it:
He also boarded, among other moments, Wilbur Cobb's first meeting with Ren and Stimpy in "Stimpy's Cartoon Show."

Nope. It just feels wrong and makes a classic slapstick comedy feel like your average boring & forgettable Canadian dreck. Whomever made this should be deeply ashamed.

This was one of my all-time favorite cartoons growing up. It was such a creative world and really had some (for a show aimed at kids at least) deep lore and history to it's world and characters. You had some of the "wacky comic character" stuff (Niddler...) but it also felt more serious in tone than other cartoons and wasn't afraid to deal with some darker themes.
I recently showed a few episodes to my nieces who wanted to know what I liked when I was their age, and even they started getting into it. Still wish they would have finished the show, but it got cancelled after only about twenty-two episodes or so.

I wish I could, someone stateside needs to pick it up or else I'll have to go the usual route.

Speaking of 2000-year olds, there's also Max: the 2000-Year Old Mouse (1967), short educational interstitial cartoons from Krantz Films, makers of the 2nd and 3rd seasons of Spider-Man.
They were made in Canada though most of the historical figures and events covered weren't Canadian.
And, yes, Max: the 2000-Year Old Mouse used the same stock music library theme music as Sneak Previews.

Also Rocket Robin Hood, and also helping Ralph Bakshi make his first movies!
They were definitely making these to sell all over, yet they ended up as filler fodder on Canadian TV for decades!
Another Krantz classic is "The Wonderful Stories of Professor Kitzel!"

Look at all the passion put into the scenery and grit! You can never go wrong with a prehistoric setting. Consider me hyped!

Holy shit, this looks incredible! There are mainstream comic books that don't look as good as this, let alone cartoons. Genndy's gonna make Adult Swim great again.

Don’t know if any of you have heard, but Netflix has acquired the rights to the Rocko and Invader ZIM movies.
There’s no date out yet but I do know it’ll be sometime late this summer.

It's nice finally someone's going to play these at all, but feel like Nick missed an opportunity to just air 'em themselves.
