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

[Prophetic Spirit]

They were doing it on a relatively cheap program, I think - it might have been something you could actually buy in stores - and yet, it looked pretty good despite all that.

And 60 fps, pretty smooth for that time.
I'm sure Xavier Renegade Angel was in 60 fps too.

Someone must have already posted this, but I just want to post it anyway because the sheer stupidity of this bitch.

That bitch might put her hands on her ears singing "lalala can't hear you" when we talk about black market in Ukraine....

Gerald Potterton, Director of Animated Cult Classic ‘Heavy Metal,’ Dies at 91​

Well, there goes my childhood. Here’s to hoping Gerald is resting well. 91 is not too shabby.

Spoiler

Though, it does not help that this week, I was supposed to watch Heavy Metal for old time’s sake. Also, I found out about this this past weekend, so I’m not too keen on thinking that this is a coincidence.

Damn. This one's for you Gerald. F.

Also, I want to point out that re-watching this from The Beatles animated movie as an adult made me realize that John and Paul did not have to make Ringo into the butt of the joke:

George was a hero.

 

[Trilby]

Damn. This one's for you Gerald. F.

He was an NFB alumni as well.

Also made a Christmas special that was an update of a NFB short.

He didn't direct it but he did produce the beautiful 1971 film of The Selfish Giant.

As for the Toonheads thing, the same guy also released another special that never made it - The Twelve Missing Hares, which featured clips from the twelve Bugs Bunny shorts that weren't shown in the 2001 June Bugs marathon. It was supposed to feature every Bugs short - but then again, I wonder whether they really could have gotten away with showing "All This and Rabbit Stew."

Damn. This one's for you Gerald. F.

I think I saw Gerard F. smiling upstairs in the sky.

And I wonder if Gerard F liked the tribute to Heavy Metal then South Park did?

Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce you to Plasmo:

Plasmo charts the misadventures of the titular alien, a 3-year-old shapeshifting "polybop" stranded since he was an egg on the barren world of Pynco, as he strives to adventure into space and find out the secrets of his origins. Aiding him in his quest are his surrogate sister, Parsty, their best friend Nik-Nik, and the inept alien adventurers Coredor and Brucho. Heavily underrated, and Anthony Lawrence should be proud of himself for making it. Above is the original 1989 short. You can find the 1997 full series here.

Ah, I remember watching Plasmo on ABC as a kid. Don't see any Aussie kid shows like this anymore.

Some actual good Western animation news coming our way, it’s a shame their not HD releases but finally having a physical release of such legendary shows is always welcome.

 

[Steamboat_Bill]

I don't think they ever finished the ones they started back in the 00s, so this is good news indeed.

Would Megas XLR get a similar deal or is it legally impossible as well?

 

[CWC-in-the-minds]

It's a tax write-off. So that's never coming, unfortunately. Afaik.

Wouldn't the entire EEnE series need like 12~ discs to fit in its entirety?

Tax write-off sounds like my definition of Disposable Entertainment.

Everyone keeps talking about how it's a tax write-off but it's streaming now on HBO Max in Mexico and South America. And Beware the Batman, which was also written off (so they said at Adult Swim), is also on HBO Max here in the U.S. (change that to "was" if it isn't on there now).

So no, I don't think it's legally impossible... but it depends on whether CN wants to do it.

Damn.... RIP

Anyone watching this, I think it just came out & honestly looks decent just from the trailer.
