I think one of the most notable examples of this is Legend of Korra. Although, it was more about making memes that got old real fast when people realized how stale, pretentious, and on the nose they felt.
Yeah, it aired overseas and I got to see a few episodes.
Yes, at Nickelodeon for instance, things get dated before they're even 18 years old.
I still remember when it got leaked from that survey panel. Virtually nobody liked it, and that combined with the fact that it was never meant to be seen by the public at that point (the survey group was shuttered later that year, no doubt because of this incident) is probably why it's taken so long for it to come out over here.
This looks so cheap that if you had told me this was made by some Flintstones fan in their spare time on youtube, I would have believed it. Come on, the least they could do is give these poor guys something resembling a budget and not change they found between the couch cushions.
What memes were in Korra? I just remember tonally out of place fart jokes.
From what I've heard, it had to do with the Warner-AT&T merger... and look how that turned out.
That's the point. Their memes are so forgettable.
Theres nothing quite like looking at a 50 year old "adult" sitcom and thinking "That'll make for a great kids show spin-off!".
They already did that back in the 90s.
Doesn't help that it's also gonna have some creepy troon writer's self insert character in it
How much I bet he turns out to be a pedo
Because, of course it will.
At least the animation was halfway-decent back then.
Right now I'm just Imagining an alternate reality where cavemen bicker about LGBT politics back in the stone ages
I really would not say this is better.
I love NFB animation. It's not for nothing that many of their films have won Academy Awards, including two of the shorts you've posted here: The Sand Castle and Special Delivery.
