That Breadwinners short was amazing. It was like WarioWare: The Cartoon. Those live action movies, however, good lord. I imagine Dan Schneider crying curled up in a fetal position in his money shower.

Hmph, is Breadwinners really going to have such... "rough" animation when it airs on Nickelodeon? I understand that it has a very computer-animated (Flash?) feel, but this is testing my limits in terms of number of animation frames.

Huh. So Nickelodeon turned down Adventure Time, but this is what they're willing to accept these days. Huh.

So I watched Ultimate Spider-man (The Black Costume episode) because there really wasn't much to do at 8.30am on a saturday morning and I'm convinced if they just did not do the cut always it'd be a serviceable cartoon. A lot of it is explaining the jokes they just made and it's a waste of resources and it's headache inducing. You don't need a cutaway showing Galactus Blowing Spider-man up to explain why him saying "Hand up to Galactus" when he's swearing he's being truthful about who's wearing the venom costume funny, you really don't.

Xiaolin Chronicles will air on Polish Cartoon Network in October. As far as I know, the American release is still April 8, no channel announced yet.

Even without the cutaways, the show still has major problems. There is an episode where Iron Man meets Spider-Man, invites him to Stark Industries and builds him his own Spider-Man themed power suit for him to goof off and be a dink with (which SHIELD is totally cool with him having). That doesn't sound like Spider-Man to me. That sounds like amateur Spider-Man fan fiction.

If it's the same episode I'm thinking of, I'm pretty sure they're not cool with it, mainly because he keeps loving everything up using it. Don't they make him get rid of it at the end?

Well If you ever wanted to see the banned episode of Dexter's Lab here you go https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d12iz1u_wJk. Don't know how long it will stay up though because they're usually pretty quick in taking it down.

Nope, SHIELD lets him keep it for experimental purposes or something like that. And just to push that scene right over the edge of absurdity, Peter Parker fumbles with the device and ends up breaking more crap with the suit.

I remember the Mega Man cartoon because it was a staple of my Saturday mornings. It was stupid, but not Darkstalkers stupid. However, Cut Man's puns were loving unbearable. Like, the Robot Masters made bad jokes a lot anyway, but Cut Man never stopped. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5TBeX405bc

Angry Beavers was recommended to me on Netflix, so I tried watching an episode. Made it about ten minutes in before I had enough. There's something uncomfortably off with the pacing, like the team was forced to stretch a four minute sketch into a 15 minute block.

I tried watching that one a couple of years ago for shits, and honestly? I remember people giving it a lot of crap and I can't say it deserved near as much as it did. Compare it to the Street Fighter animated series that came out or the Darkstalkers animated series and it looks so much better (they actually got the origin story for Megaman pretty right, so that's a plus!). It seemed like it was pretty ok for what you'd expect out of the 90's from a video game cartoon. Plus the theme song and opening they had for it were slick as hell, even if they're a little bit different in terms of style than the cartoon itself (which apparently was more along the style they wanted to go with, but the focus groups they had for it didn't respond well to it). Plus they were apparently planning to put Bass in, and Bass owns.

The new shows coming out of the kid cable pipeline really seem to be of the "creator-driven series where the creator is a young CalArts graduate" variety. Pen Ward, J.G. Quintel, and Alex Hirsch all fit that description, and now we can add another. It's nice to see new cartoons with female creators, and this sounds like it can be a fun action/comedy mix if done right.Disney Channel posted:Disney Channel has ordered “Star and the Forces of Evil” (working title), an animated comedy adventure about a fun-loving magical teen princess from another dimension who — after a few bold skirmishes with other-worldly monsters — is sent by her Royal Parents to live with the Diaz family on Earth. Eden Sher (ABC’s “The Middle”) provides the voice of the lead character, Star Butterfly. Production has begun for a scheduled Fall 2014 premiere. The announcement was made today by Eric Coleman, Senior Vice President, Original Series, Disney Television Animation. mobo85 fucked around with this message at 05:14 on Mar 8, 2013 |

No one thought it was good, it was entertaining. Plus there was the episode where X showed up from the future. I hated most of the regular henchmen that showed up(Cuts and Guts), but there were occasions when Magnet Man, or Snake Man showed up and it'd be neat. I..also liked the Street Fighter cartoon, it had nothing to do with anything. It was all about M. Bison, though. Again, so goofy that it was entertaining. Much better than the Mortal Kombat cartoon.

You are indeed correct and I apologize. I was thinking of the fact that many modern cartoon creators right now are either young or CalArts graduates. I knew off the top of my head that Hirsch was, and after discovering that Quintel and Ward also fit both qualifiers, I mistakenly lumped Sugar in there as well. (Get it? Sugar? Lumped? That's a joke, son!)

Did you see Bee & PuppyCat? It's an upcoming CartoonHangover-show that looks adorable like hell. The promo had nothing but promotional art and animatics, so it's probably gonna be a while until the cartoon shows up, but I'm interested.

I'm seeing promos for the "90's are all that block" for the Kids Choice Award. Kind of bizarre they are going nostalgic for it. My memories of it as a kid growing up was that it was terrible, and wasting value time in which I could have been watching Cartoons. Looking at it now? Yeah, it's still terrible. Also I wish they'd go away from the format of showing All-That and Kenan And Kel everytime. It's so played out at this point.

Now that new Star Wars movies are being made just about all the auxiliary SW projects are being shut down so all the media focus will be on Episode 7 and beyond. The 3D theatrical releases of the other 5 Star Wars movies were cancelled too.
