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

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
I still get a kick out of the old Looney Tunes shorts every now and then.

Admittedly though I have still not watched Over the Garden Wall yet but I keep hearing it's amazing. I also gotta catch up on Bob's Burgers quite soon.

Reading this thread reminds me that I have the Tom and Jerry Golden Collection on Blu-ray. I really have to get around that since it's also what I watched a lot on Cartoon Network years ago.
 
I'm an animator so I can sperg all day about animation, but I'll spare ya.

I love Gravity Falls, especially season 2 so far. Over the Garden Wall is great too, love the world building in it, and it's also cute as fuck. I wish the pacing was better but I understand why it's fast, being a mini series with 10 minute long eps and all.

More rotoscope/IRL if anyone's interested. Just compilations to what was a decent western animation/IRL fusion.

Reminded the best work came out of people who learn animation in colleges across the country, here's one such film I loved the first time I saw it, this guy went on to big things in his future!

My brother laughed his ass off at the last minute of the Archer season finale. I watched it twice because we lost the signal the first time.
 
Believe it or not, I actually met one of the guys who provided the score for Quasi at the Quackadero. He was a great guy, and very interesting as well.

Another thing came to mind... before Courage the Cowardly Dog, John Dilworth's most famous thing was The Dirdy Birdy:

Has no one talked about Song of the Sea yet?
It's an animated movie from Ireland that I had the chance to see in theaters, and the visuals alone made it a sheer joy to watch. The backgrounds were all painted with watercolor and the animation was designed to blend with it. Not to mention that the story was really sweet. It's really a pleasure to watch, and I wholeheartedly recommend it if you ever get the chance to see it. It's made by the same studio as The Secret of Kells, but whereas that movie was really riding on it's visuals and was extremely limited in what it could do, Song of the Sea handles itself wonderfully. I really think this film is one of my favorites.

I am likely the only one here who knows of this show, and that's a tragedy.
 
Batman the animated series may have been good but I have always love Batman beyond (or batman of the future in Europe and Australia) it just the art the style and setting I personally love and the fact that the idea should be bad as it teenage batman but it just is done so well also it has just a fucking great intro.

Wait Till Your Father Gets Home is okay. It's pretty much an All in the Family ripoff with a 70s cartoon style.


Sure is a lot better than the show it inspired if you ask me (Family Guy).

It holds up. Though I don't like to associate this with Family Guy myself (I often thought King of the Hill came close with it's paranoid conspiracy theorist neighbor).
