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

It could be worse, we could be like /co/ where everyone lusts after underage and furry characters
People on that board legit say without any hint of irony that fifi saves this pos reboot, and they wish they had left in scenes like buster cross dressing. Then again I've also seen that there are apparently older designs from pre production that show the animation was going to be a lot more expressive, but also freaky.
 
Blue's Clues pilot "Blue Prints" was found and uploaded yesterday

I watched the Yellow Submarine film because I thought it looked interesting and was persuaded that it would be a nice mix of animation and interesting art with Beatles stuff, but it was overall a bit long and boring. What was interesting was overshadowed by the lack of story structure. Felt like a let down.
 
Honestly anything could have a good reboot or continuation. However, this is not a perfect timeline we live in. Anything good must be ruined for the sake of easy nostalgic cash without none of the soul.
Even going beyond reboots, it seems like good shows like Mao Mao and Gumball are cancelled I haven't heard anything about the Gumball movie), while they keep putting out poor quality shows. Isn't Teen Titans Go! still running for example? Is quality too expensive or do they just hate it? This may also be part of the reason anime has become popular in recent years, since some good shows are produced.
 
I think another problem is that they continue to hire just writers not proper cartoonists. So when the writers become solely in charge of the show they generally will use as a mouthpiece to vent out they're own frustrations or problems. Furthermore, it also doesn't help that cartoons nowadays are so stiff and have a lack of fluidity or zaniness to them.
 
These new reboots and modern cartoons really mis the bite that 90’s animated shows have. Everything has to get played to safe to not offend anyone.
The audience that they're after won't generally be offended by what they're doing nowadays. There's nothing daring about overt "fuck you, Whitey!" and "we're here, we're queer, get over it!" messaging in modern media because the people in a position to censor this shit all tacitly encourage the agenda. Nobody has to be creative to get their ideas through anymore, and all they care about is The Message, so you get shows with no plot and 1-dimensional character-writing because it's all just a vehicle to deliver said message. So we get boring schlock without even the dubious soul of 80's and 90's toy-commercials that still managed to tell interesting stories sometimes. It doesn't matter to them if nobody actually liked trans-SheRa or cuck-HeMan - they got to stick a middle-finger into the faces of wypipo and their impressionable children and get away with it without consequence.
 
The fact that even some World Leaders are Twitter audience, i.e. Justin Castro, doesn't help either.
It's crazy how one social media site practically feels like the center of the world. Like there was genuine panic when Musk bought the site like society as we knew it was going to start crumbling. Really makes me wonder what'd happen if the site just permanently went dark one day without warning.

I enjoyed it but watched it stoned with other stoned people. The animation itself really isn't terribly interesting and the storyline is incoherent. The parts with songs were best.

Well, society as Internet SJWs know it actually is crumbling.

It really is just an extremely long overly glorified music video. Honestly it makes me wish that Robert Zemeckis version had gotten made.

People also complain about his uncanny Valley films from his 3d studio but I never found it un appealing, and maybe an update could have made the film actually coherent.

Magical Mystery Tour was way worse in that regard. There's at least some sort of plot in Yellow Submarine. Also I really love that song plus Nowhere Man. I have to cut at least a little bit of slack though considering the whole concept of "music videos" didn't even really exist then. They kind of pioneered it.

The Monkees did better goofy-ass shows.
