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

[A Grey Cat]

Oh god, that thing. I thought it was out for a while. Why does one of the characters wear shoes? Is that a lame Sanic joke?

Surprisingly it's a LOT tamer than human resources and especially big mouth was. The plots are run of the mill, "we're all in our 30s but still don't have our lives together " therapy sessions disguised as a western cartoon, but there's no full on nudity, there's barley any swearing, and aside the momments in the marketing theres not all that much shock/ fetish fodder as youd think. Minf you that doesnt excuse it from being trash. If it didn't have the baggage of trying to ride on what little fan base big mouth and resources had left before they got the ax.



It'd probably be at best a ripoff of a zootopia and beastars while fishing for sympathy by trying to rip off the relationship drama of bojack horseman, while failing to remember bojack got less comedic as it went on not more.

I found it surprisingly hilarious. It's good to see FreedomToons trying to do something different from his usual short political animations. I personally found those pretty hit-or-miss.

There are enough good bits in it to call it entertaining.

Like the Whiskey Coffee getting shuffled around, the joke about the prison gangs being warped by the clone army.

 

[The Last Stand]

Ted Turner started the channel after acquiring the rights to decades worth of old toons. Hanna-Barbera initially worked on Dexter, Johnny Bravo and PPG before pretty much getting liquidated into general Warner and I guess CN?

Okay, so Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy does have HB rights.

While working on the first season of Cow and Chicken, Atoms was approached by Hanna-Barbera executives for ideas for new short films. Among the ideas he presented to Hanna-Barbera was "Milkman", centering on an anthropomorphic, superhero milk carton who saves the missing children depicted on his back. Though the idea was rejected, executives were interested in Billy and Mandy, two characters that were to be featured in the project.

That explains a lot.

Oh, and Maxwell Atoms has Asperger's. That also explains its humor and shock value.

I keep finding out Genndy has been quietly busy making more cartoons.

Idk I guess I saw Unicorn in the title and just immediately threw it into a memoryhole. Never been a fan of the steampunk asthetic, and so far it's by the numbers (+ the mandatory negros), but it's still fun to look at; and at least with Gen you don't automatically know who's good and evil based on how pale they are. Go ahead and throw me some alarm clocks if I'm the last to the party on this one.

Sadly, Unicorn EW bombed and was forgotten about.

I mean...it was a pile of incoherent not very nice to look at garbage. I saw it from beginning to end and genuinely don't know what there is to sad about it bombing and being forgotten. That's the fate it deserved.

Hell, I am pretty sure its better for Gendy's career that everyone forgot this thing came out considering how badly put together it is.

at least it wasn't Popeye
