So, I was looking up Michel Gagne and found this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fi1uvKQOvdM I'd actually be really interested in a cartoon done in that style. Specifically that twilight zone style introduction. The ITSP game should be pretty amazing when it comes out.

Pleasant Friend posted:The good Tom and Jerry works are all Hanna-Barbera age, look for Fred Quimby in the credits, it a sign of a quality Tom and Jerry cartoon. Well, and since there were different eras, to be fair, maybe I should go back and give T&J another look. I've never liked any of the episodes or vignettes I've seen--and I think some of them were Quimby-made, actually---and so I've never been inclined to go back for more.

Looks like Voltron is going to continue it's well known role of not being nearly as good as Thundercats or Transformers here in 2011.

Didn't think she'd be done this soon. Hope her success here makes it easier to get her other cartoon pitches accepted by the networks.

Well Gumball isn't really funny but it's cute and the mixed media thing is kind of fun to watch. I can tell already that his mom is going to be the best character.

Have to be honest with you, I had no idea what to expect from Gumball but that DVD episode mostly sold me. I got the vibe of a really really polished Disney Afternoon show from it. I don't really know how else to describe it. Marvellous attention to detail though. I'm going to keep checking it out probably. some kinda jackal fucked around with this message at 02:40 on May 11, 2011 |

Not sure how I feel about Gumball just yet. I don't not like it - it feels a little slow, but that could be because it's just starting out. I like the mom and Darwin pretty well though.

The Mystery was especially funny with the robot, and both the principle and the teacher getting run over by a bus and ambulance (with squishing noises). I'm totally on the Gumball train

 I was out shopping for a wardrobe for my new job when I found this awesome Courage shirt at JCPenney. It'll make an awesome nightshirt. I also saw a few Adventure Time shirts, which I also want, but most of them were girls shirts at Hot Topic. I also saw a boys one, but it wasn't in my XXL size. I also want a Flapjack shirt, and maybe Billy and Mandy. (Fred Fredburger!)

Cardboard Box A posted:http://www.themarysue.com/the-fall-of-cartoon-network/ You know, for all that article points out as wrong, I can't take it seriously. quote:Stuart Snyder succeeded Samples and, with his new title and power, has been the reason why so much quality programming, like The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, has been canceled. Billy & Mandy ran for 7 seasons and got multiple TV movies. CN ran that poo poo into the ground. Whining about it getting canceled is ridiculous, as is ragging on the president for doing so. I don't really like CN's live-action shows, but the way I've seen it, it's cheap to make, and it gets viewers, so good on them for surviving a recession. quote:Along with some half-baked animated shows like The Problem Solverz (I don’t even know how to go about explaining this one) and MAD (an ill-conceived attempt at turning a good magazine into an animated mess slandered with weak pop culture jokes), Cartoon Network is in dire need of some original content. But, even when promising shows cross Cartoon Network’s path, they eventually are swept away by cancellation. Okay, MAD sucks. Haven't watched Problem Solverz, but I've heard mixed reviews. Chowder and Flapjack both got a chance to do a finale episode (from what I've heard, Thurop chose to end Flapjack himself, but I can't find anything to back that up, so I might be talking out of my rear end here). Foster's ran for 6 seasons and had multiple movies! Granted, Sym-bionic Titan and Chowder definitely were ended prematurely, with creators wanting to do more, but that doesn't indicate some "trend" of canceling shows. Just because the network isn't producing as much original content as it did in the 90s and their president quit doesn't mean that suddenly, the network is some roving beast looking to destroy your favorite shows. She also references bringing back Titan as a possibility because fans brought back Futurama and Family Guy, but fails to reference the fact that Adult Swim ran those shows (still does with FG) since nearly its inception, providing the fanbase (and DVD sales) that proved to network executives that bringing them back was a viable option. Overall, the whole page seems to be an excuse to poo poo on Stuart Snyder for some recent decisions. In conclusion, this.

That blog post mostly just comes off as pissed that Symbionic Titan got cancelled. Chowder, while I loved it, was getting pretty stale by the end. I'd rather shows like it and Flapjack get to do a proper ending and go out while they're still ok than run forever like Fairly Oddparents or SpongeBob (although I never did like SpongeBob in the first place).

For anyone mourning Chowder you should probably watch Gumball. It has sort of the same "feel" I guess. I mean there's only two episodes but the jokes have a pretty similar timing. "I know what we need: a third best friend!" "A third? Wouldn't that be weird?" "Only if you make it weird. Would it be weird?"

I keep expecting Gumball to yell I'M NOT YOUR BOYFRIEND! to his little sister and that's kind of unsettling. Is whoever does Gumball a former Chowder staff person or something because wow?
