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

Spielberg was on good enough terms regarding Roger back when the series was being made that there could have been a Roger series - the last short was from 1993. Probably would have been nothing like Bonkers, though.

Would have probably avoided the production problems, including the replacement of Miranda with Lucky.
And it would have been a helluva lot better than the weekend at Bernie's they're playing with his corpse in the upcoming chip and dale reboot.
 
I know we are shitting on Velma now, but I just got a FaceBook notification and want to take a second to wish Shrek a happy anniversary. The series is officially 21 years old.

Cheers!

The ogre and donkey both have turned drinking age. (Probably wrong on the Shrek canon, but for this case, I’ll let it slide.)

Either way, the first time I began to really find this series charming was when they both interacted with Puss and Boots. It says a lot that Antonio Banderas, Eddie Murphy and Mike Myers really had great voice chemistry with one another:



At the time, my 10 year old self really thought that this was surreal to witness. I actually believed that those scenes were much better than the first movie altogether.
 
I at least hope Tress Macneille got a hefty paycheck for participating in this grave-robbery.
And it's a shame because it's not like the idea would have been a failure. Ducktales 2017 was probably the best reboot in years, and they had a darkwing duck episode that showed the potential for a reboot of that show. But they had to go and screw the pooch five ways to Sunday with chip and dale. I guess it's a small mercy it's only a made for Disney plus movie and not a whole show.
 
Sorry for the double post but I hadn't realized that the chip and dale special premiered today. So far it's as bad as we thought it'd be. Take 5002 of hollyweird trying to use "hey member this? " member berries to pander to boomers and gen X thru zers trying to recapture the magic of something they grew up with. And while consoomers and cartoon spergs will get a kick out of it for others there's nothing to get even remotely happy about.
 
Why do people say the Drawn Together movie was bad? A good chunk of its scenes are hilarious. This one being probably one of the best of the series.
Because it is very bad,all the characters have been ‘flanderised’ for lack of a better term, even more than they were in season 3. The plot is completely aimless and is just one long poorly thought out chase scene after the other of the cast running to random locations away from The Seth McFarlane Robot ISRAEL. The jokes are mainly just crude gross out humour but with none of the cleverness of the original show, hell even the main Drawn Together creators themselves Dave Jeser and Matt Silverstein admitted they had no ideas for thé movie. So they made any random crap they wanted. The whole thing is just a big missed opportunity I feel.

The original show is great though, it’s like in a weird middle ground between South Park and Family Guy, but with a genuinely unique concept and way more fast paced and arguably cruder than either of them. I really like the who framed Roger rabbit style world they live in, but with adult cartoon characters too, it’s a great extension of the concept. It also contains the only reference to Daria outside of Robot chicken.
 
Finally got through the chip and dale trashfire all I can say is.... Wow just fucking wow. If the don't say gay bill, or the pride collection for next month isn't the final nail in this company's coffin, then thisovie sure will be.

Reference after fucking reference to pander the the abituors of autistic consoomer retards, cliche after cliche and shameless self promotion on a biblical scale. Of they don't own it even they at least flaunt in your face that they can pay to use it. Constantly reminding me I could be watching other better shows and movies that came before this garbage.


I think the the people who gave ready player one a bad reputation owe that movie an apology because it was made with at least some semblance of competency and knew to take a break from the reference overdosing at least once in a while.


In conclusion all I can say is if I didn't know better I could have sworn the damn thing was ghostwritten by opl Chris.... If ya know he wasn't a nobody with only efame to his name... And wasn't in jail for fucking barb.


It's a stinker! 1/10 zero stars and

They've been scraping the barrel with Scooby doo long before this velma cartoon came out and they'll continue to do so until the end of time.

I'm so tired of shit needing to be mainstream. I'm tired of companies recycling the same IPs. I'm tired of nepotism fueling the industry.

I think more people should shit on lazy reboots/remakes than shows like Owl house or Steven universe cuz at least they didn't butcher an IP or try to pander to everyone for maximum profit.

I'm sure most creators would rather have a niche audience that like their vision than be another brick in a media empire.

Absolutely, even though I don’t particularly love shows like Amphibia or Craig of the creek, or most of Nickelodeon’s stuff throughout the late 2010s at the very least they are original shows that have some creators interested in telling unique stories with approaching things from a unique angle. I’d take another Uncle Grandpa over another spongebob show any day. A creative failure is way better than a recycled nostalgia bait show any day.
 
As I said... I think the porn people have drawn of gadget for the last 20 odd years was less horrific than what two hacks implied with that. This shit put me in such a numb and sour mood after I saw it, I've been working since it finished and while I feel less bitter now. I'm gonna go home and re-watch the original chip and dale and try to wash the stench of this garbage out of my mind.

How I feel. Or stick to the original shorts from the 40's and 50's and be happy those still exist.

I have a feeling all of those try to pander to the same limited audience.


I didn't even watch the vid. I looked at the thumbnail, looked at the title, and had a mini seizure as part of my brain commited suicide.

oh there's another plot hole for you they never ONCE address the chip and dale cartoons from the golden age of animation, if they even existed at all. IF you didn't wanna imply the chip and dale of the 80s-today aren't THAT old just have the original C and D cartoons from back then be their fathers or grandfathers. IT'S ONE SIMPLE FIX...I get the two hacks who wrote this crap probably did so in like a week but come on! I came up with that lieelt fix in like one minute.


You know...if it wasn't such a minor, non cow related issue...i'd almost ask to have the release of this trash fire featured. It's being talked about in almost every Multimedia board because it references almost every aspect of the media in some way shape or form.

Put it up as a recommendation for Movie Night
 
How it feels to watch some god ole Disney afternoon after Chip and Dale 2022:


or...it's like a gentle breeze has blown all my bitter resentfulness away.
