Pixeltendo posted:I can name one that should come back. Soon.  (Hopefully)quote:In September 2012, Genndy Tartakovsky announced in an interview with IGN that a Samurai Jack movie is in pre-production. He said: "I've been trying so hard every year, and the one amazing thing about Jack is that I did it in 2001, you know, and it still survived. There's something about it that's connected with people. And I want it, it's number 1 on my list, and now Bob Osher, the President (of Digital Production at Sony Pictures Entertainment), is like 'Hey, let's talk about Jack. Let's see what we can do.' And I go, 'You're going to do a 2D feature animated movie?' and he's like, 'Yeah. Maybe. Let's do some research and let's see.' So it's not dead for sure by any means, and it's still on the top of my list, and I'm trying as hard as I can." It is going to be the conclusion for the series. The film, which is budgeted at $20 million, will combine traditional 2D animation with stereoscopic 3D. Tartakovsky said the loss of Mako Iwamatsu (Aku's voice actor) would also need to be addressed.

Back in 2009 they were saying the same thing, that the movie was in pre-production and that Bad Robot was producing it. I mean, if Season 4 of Arrested Development can happen then anything is possible but at this point I'd rather the dude focus his time and energy on something new rather than the "epic conclusion" to a decade-old cartoon. Especially when the theatrical Powerpuff Girls movie was a big enough bomb to destroy any future attempts at theatrical movies and it came out at the height of the show's popularity. He did an animated opening to that crappy action movie Priest a few years ago, his style of animation but in HD instead of standard-def early-00s TV animation is pretty cool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvrY8e19-04

They could just make more episodes. I mean, surely there's more adventures to be had in between Return of the Joker and the Epilogue episode of JLU which were the two other "endings" of Beyond.

It was just something different from the usual. If there was another giant robot show on I'd care less about it. The Thundercats reboot was nice but the thing that always sticks out to me was the armored mummra and lion-o (now available in stores.)

Still get to me The show was a slow burn with over arching plot points the villains had depth as characters. If you watch the whole seires you'll see how it starts out and whats it was going for.

Titan had some major pacing issues when it came to their inclusion of giant monsters fights, unfortunately. Loved what it was trying to do though, and Flock of Seagulls pretty much won me over in the second episode I saw (first was Shadows of Youth; I was expecting a different show going in, after that).

Samurai Jack had a good run. It had a good 4 seasons, and if Jack ever was going to make any progress in getting back, back to the past, he'd have done some by that point. Symbiotic Titan was canceled after just one season, and I'd really like for it to be resumed so I could see where it was going. They never even got a chance to go into Octus's origins or Lance's dad.

It literally had the vapid cheerleader come on to him and straight up told the team he was more than a machine. They played with and had homage to so many great sci fi troops. The galactic guardian leader kane fought with ace and they pulled the same moves, and just went ??? where did you learn that. Anyway I am sad both that, tron, green lantern, beware the batman..young justice all went away. I get the appeal of adventure time its a kids show that kids can watch, uncle grandpa...well I see what they are gong for. But regular show seems like its written for people that have grown up and I dont see the toy sales from it. So why they hell is it spared from being destroyed.

My gut feeling says they'd reboot it since everybody who could work on it from design to animation to voice acting is way past that point. That said I absolutely would love a new Batman Beyond in almost any form. The only thing that would be a shame to lose is the soundtrack but that portion of our concept of the future (an infinite 90s grunge/techno club) is long since past. Edit: It'd be neat to have the show take place far enough in the future to sidestep Bruce Wayne as needing to appear and cast a woman in the grizzled old Bruce Wayne role.

I see "toy sales" thrown around a lot by cartoon fans as a reason for corporate decisions but it's not a universal metric for a show's success. A lot of shows are driven by advertisers buying time around the show. Some other shows are directly subsidized by toy companies(action shows like Ben 10 etc). So it's not that simple.

Toy sales were the cited reason for canceling Symbiotic Titan, but I think it's probably more that Symbiotic Titan is really weird, and it would be impossible to explain to an executive.

You probably could do it with Commissioner Barbara Gordon if Batman Beyond wasn't nearly 13 years old now (insert comment about how old you feel here) and so any new young audience would be completely unfamiliar with the character of Barbara (since she's hardly in the movies and she was in a whopping two episodes of Brave and the Bold). For better or for worse, any Batman cartoon is going to have to have Bruce Wayne in it somewhere even if it's in a whole bunch of flashbacks from [new mentor character] recounting how cool Batman was. Really, the more I think about it, the big problem with any kind of a Batman Beyond revival is the fact that the original BB had BTAS as a precursor to it, showing Bruce's adventures and showing how/why he would be a good mentor and why he would be so grizzled after going through all the poo poo he's gone through. There's not been a real successful Batman show in some time outside of Brave and the Bold, and that show was all about how being Batman is awesome and not mentally taxing really how are you gonna have a mean old Bruce Wayne come to exist in the same world where BatB Aquaman exists? In summary, the DCAU is almost 10 years old now and we should all feel old. TwoPair fucked around with this message at 05:38 on Jan 11, 2014 |

Its simple it has the creator of dexters lab, samurai jack, and clone wars. He is "creative talent" aka an artist and makes a good/popular product. CN lacks faith in its own shows. Which is sad. Though I am gland they stopped with the Live action poo poo

I get why people liked Sym-Bionic Titan but it had like zero crossover appeal to people who didn't grow up with Voltron and have that kind of enthusiasm for something that so openly and unabashedly clings to old tropes with almost nothing to try and innovate or change or improve upon it. I never really got into the show and a big part of that was because it felt like if I had seen one episode I had seen everything the show had to offer, and the few episodes I watched only seemed to reinforce that. Also I felt like the animation was too stylized and got to the point where it was ugly and cluttered. It had some great backgrounds but I really didn't like the way the main cast looked and the CGI for the robots was relatively poor both on its own and at meshing with the 2d elements. I just hope the dude hasn't lost his touch because it's been a decade since Tartakovsky made Clone Wars and aside from Titan the only other things he's done is the pilot for Korgoth of Barbaria (which was cancelled before they even made any episodes), storyboard the fight scenes for Iron Man 2 (remember the long boring scenes of Iron Man tearing through dozens of robots with zero excitement or tension? Yeah...), and direct the  Adam Sandler vehicle Hotel Transylvania.

I don't know how to feel about that Fish Hooks on Disney Channel. It just feels so weird to me that they have so many talented people working on the show ( Alex Hirsch, Justin Roiland, Maxwell Adams,etc.), and what they end up turning out is something that's watchable, but feels like it should be much more than that.
