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

I think this must be my favorite moment in anything Disney-produced.

Look at the father. He's utterly shameless about his drunkenness. Hilarious. Imagine a studio making light of this stuff today.

The 1890's weren't really that gay after all!

I also love this Disney cartoon, mainly for the hilarious closing gag:

My fave too, anything with Donald messing up something and taking care of the problem off-camera is tops!

Because I don't watch TV much at all these days, I missed out on this little ditty from last month on an FX show called "Atlanta", at least it's on YouTube!

I see someone's pirating a t-shirt of this already.

Here's a classic cartoon from 1930.

It has tons of elements that show up in animation in the decade to come - jazz music, random celebrity appearances, and suicide!

Walter Lantz was a genius! There's a foundation in his name that provided some cool gear to this college a while back.

While technically fanart and not animated, this did bring a smile to me!

You guys ready for another Asylum animated abortion?

Never change, Asylum. Just don't.

I see the guy who tried to sue Dreamworks for stealing his idea for a "Kung Fu Panda" that he merely copied out of a Timon & Pumbaa coloring book is going to get his ass slammed in prison soon.

Good. People with legitimate claims against corporate pirates have enough trouble making a case without swindlers like this concocting bogus allegations. Many of the people with the "they stole my idea" claim, while it's blatantly false, are at least delusional. This guy is a flat out criminal. Bla bla bla, raped and murdered, etc.

There's a lot of shifty people out there.

Just one more uncreative person unworthy of being in this career field and one more person to put behind bars for thinking he could get away with his (talentless hack) shit, too.

Thinking about the case, I'm reminded of one cartoonist up in Quebec who once pitched an idea for a parody of Robinson Crusoe to the heads of Cinar Films during the 1980's, only to find out they used his idea without permission for a 1994 TV show they co-produced with several European backers. It took him nearly 20 years to finally get the judgement he deserved.

In between, of course, he inadvertently brought down Cinar by finding out they were claiming tax benefits for all-Canadian productions while using American writers...

Yeah that was the straw that broke the camel's back. I never did care much for that studio's output anyway, but it was a dickmove to use provincial tax credits like that. I know another cartoonist on Facebook who was trying to get a cartoon of his developed by Cinar as well at some point (before this mess happened), glad it did't happen for him.

Disney's new movie "Moana" does a really neat blending of 2D and 3D animation with Maui's tattoos.

Honestly he looks like the only interesting part of the movie for me, personally. Really nice sequence.

The movie felt generic story wise, but was visually stunning. Makes sense, they reused the expensive as FUCK animation engine they debuted earlier this year.
