Ghost Leviathan posted:You don't actually like cartoons, you just like nostalgia. Yeah, seriously. The original DuckTales issss....not very good, outside of the movie. If you're truly coming up against the new one as 'worse', it's bc it lacks nostalgia for you and you're not getting the same feeling as being a kid again.

So I went and found that talespin episode, It was a spoof of the book shagrala is based on. The panda's have heat seaking missle and when they are about to kill balo the vilian says "yeah good panadas dont like us" I kinda dont like how alot of retro cartoons basically "parodied" movies. loving super mario brothers super show. Paradied mad max and quest for fire right off the top of my head.

Das Boo posted:Honestly, that makes even more sense. Korea, Japan, and China have a kind of a trifecta of hatred going to this day. Korea in particular has been described as "the shrimp caught between two whales." So if you wanna take shots at China, your Korean and Japanese studios will likely be on board. Probably stick to Korea for the Japanese racism. there's a TMNT manga where the turtles visit Japan. Everyone there is drawn as a terrible dated stereotype with buck teeth and glasses, and they crack jokes about how they all look the same and maybe even Shredder looks like that under his helmet. It was written and drawn in Japan, in the 90s. poo poo's so weird.

Ups_rail posted:I was thinking about tailspin the other day. Oh dear. Looked this one up and ooohhhh dear.   Howard Beale posted:I watched some of Chip & Dale Rescue Rangers on Disney+ a few months back and one of the first episodes involves a pair of Siamese twin cats operating out of a Chinese laundry and holy poo poo that did not age well.  Not animation, but I experienced similar jarring racism rewatching old episodes of the Muppet show. It's a show you would get things like the Harry Belafonte episode, where they had characters based off African masks who were carefully and thoroughly researched so they didn't look like anything that carried major religious signifance for any particular people or tribe. Then you would get an episode where out of nowhere, a loving slant-eyed Muppet. IBroughttheFunk fucked around with this message at 22:21 on Feb 22, 2023 |

Stonehouse Beach posted:This reminded me of some other short-running '90s cartoon. Maybe it just had a single special. Something about a teenager finding out he had alien heritage and the very end teasing an appearance by his father. And he had some catchphrase like YOST! or something that was supposed to be the alien equivalent of cool. I remember seeing a YA novelization afterward and then it just disappeared enterely Invasion America? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invasion_America

I loved Beetlejuice as a kid. my favorite part that I fixated on was when Lydia would summon BJ and her shawl would glow red. Loved the music too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaNeE_1nlls Not quite a cartoon but I loved the beginning of the Pee Wee's Playhouse music, I hated the frantic last part of the song and the content of the show but I watched for the intro music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUWy21bPGh4 Several years ago I was watching my brother in law play Gran Turismo and a song came on that bugged the poo poo out of me for a few days because I couldn't place where I'd heard it before. Turns out The Pee Wee song and this sampled the same tune. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8sEba0e6f4

BRICKFACE posted:I'm aware of the legacy of Charlie Chan, but Fat Albert was by Cosby and I thought it was supposed to be about representation? Yeah, while there's a loooot of poo poo going on with Cosby that colours pretty much everything he did, Fat Albert is pretty harmless? It's about a bunch of poor black kids getting up to the same kinda stuff that most cartoon kids get up to. Charlie Chan is apparently a weird one on that score, since in an age when Asian people were almost entirely depicted as somewhere between space aliens and diabolical supervillains, Charlie Chan himself is a good guy who always catches the bad guys, and his kids are (or at least were) similarly all-American kids who are interested in the same things as any other and happen to be of Asian descent. Might be thinking of what I've heard about the original show, mind. The one that specifically had the Asian people be literal cartoon characters, on the other hand... In general you gotta judge things in context, a lot of stuff that for today understandably brings up red flags was for its time genuinely well-intentioned and progressive, and questionable representation was better than no or entirely negative representation. Of course, that also goes the other way- see that Muppets thing mentioned above and how priorities and inexplicable cultural blind spots can make things very one step forward, two steps back. Light Gun Man posted:there's a TMNT manga where the turtles visit Japan. Everyone there is drawn as a terrible dated stereotype with buck teeth and glasses, and they crack jokes about how they all look the same and maybe even Shredder looks like that under his helmet. It was written and drawn in Japan, in the 90s. poo poo's so weird. The Japanese takes on TMNT tend to be pretty goofy and lean into comedy a lot harder iirc, seems like they're probably making fun of Western stereotypes and how ridiculous they are especially from their perspective. Also reminded of a post somewhere from way back about how a black viewer always saw the TMNT as being black-coded, and it's really hard to argue that's not an entirely valid take on the characters. Of course, one of the funny things about non-human characters is that they can implicitly stand outside strict racial and cultural boundaries and easily be identified with, see why Transformers and TMNT are so popular all over the world. And of course, even then the TMNT are their own kinda fun just going by canon- explicitly a culturally AND species mixed adopted family who are between worlds in so many ways.

Ups_rail posted:you guys ever see fritz the cat? When my girlfriend and I first moved in together she was looking through my bookshelf and told me she wanted to find a comic from my collection to read. The entire time I had my fingers crossed going, "please don't pick out anything by Robert Crumb." Then she grabbed The Life & Death of Fritz the Cat, and within a half hour asked me what the gently caress that smut was. I told her, "you should see the movie, he hated it!"

IIRC, Invasion: America was a summer event series. It tried to get some cachet by being Presented By Steven Spielberg with the hopes it would hit and become a regular syndicated.

It’s a drat shame The Flight of Dragons can only be had as a manufacture-on-demand DVD only because I watched that movie a lot as a kid. Same thing with Twice Upon a Time. Goddamn, I would pay a handsome price for both films on boutique Blu-ray, at least. They’re both deserving of so much better than MOD. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqCRgiHHvB4

Sadly, I remember attending a panel at a convention where they discussed why this movie would never be released other than on the big screen or on cable (And this archive collection). Basically it comes down to the contracts with all the people involved were written in some weird way that basically means that every single contract would have to be renegotiated. Since that will never happen, because it would likely mean profitability would suffer, it just isn't worth it to the production/distribution company.
