So Cartoon Network is running commercials for a mobile game based on the new Ben 10, which is giving us our first look at footage from the series, and it sure does look like Ben 10 made in the 2010s. Not enough to really made a judgement on, but the art will take getting used to.

Given how Ben 10 is apparently really popular internationally, they've been premiering episodes outside of America for months now

HelloWinter posted:New trailer for the Tangled series on Disney channel That's some pretty good animation, although it's still weird that they're making a 2D show out of a 3D movie. It seems like just yesterday that everybody was sure that CG was the wave of the future that was going to overtake any 2D cartoon in time. But then again, Disney's still been leading that charge for a while now and pretty much every animated movie these days is full CG. I don't get it.

Tangled was stupendously expensive, so I guess when faced with a choice between low budget 3D and low budget 2D they decided that 2D was still the better choice. I imagine that if it was 3D it would be compared unfavourably to the film.

Isn't Tangled's budget so large because it's actually the sum of 2 or 3 different failed Rapunzel adaptations and they all technically get counted as one production? Still, I don't think there's ever been any stigma against 2D for TV series so I guess why not.

They're also doing 2D for the Big Hero 6 cartoon, and i'm guessing that 2D will also be used for the inevitable Frozen cartoon they'll announce this year (unless Frozen is too big for TV and they do a sequel instead)

Isn't 3D supposed to be cheaper than 2D these days though? That was one of the reasons for the switch, I thought. And then once you have the 3D models already made, it's just a matter of wiggling them around in new ways. After the initial investment it's cheaper.

The 3D in Tangled was supposed to approximate watercolor or pastels or some drawing technique so I can see that being folded into the cost. Disney probably knows that cute concept art can breathe new life into recognizable characters. And you don't have to spend time rendering light and shadows for it.

Disney will milk that cash cow for all it's worth

CG has a weird shelf-life and can look dated really quickly, and also requires a lot of engineering in order to achieve current baseline expectations of quality. In order for it to not look like hot garbage and fit within the demanding production schedule TV requires, it makes sense that 2D is still pretty popular for this kind of production, albeit a more puppet-based 2D than traditional.

The animation's good but the art style/character designs are really really Flash animation-y. I imagine that's the reason it's cheaper than 3D

Also, is the team for Tangled the same one which worked on Penn Zero? Because the designs and animation look to be the same type.

FilthyImp posted:It's almost as if they don't want to promote a property that almost immediately became weird gender/speciesswap furry art. Eh, I'm not so sure. Whatever their reason for pumping the brakes on marketing Zootopia, I doubt furries factor into it. I think that's taking an overly internet culture-centric view to think that the weird groups us jaded forum posters have encountered matter all that much outside the internet. There's a ton of appeal to Zootopia outside of furry stuff and the vast majority of people who watched the movie will never know about furry fetish art of the movie. Those infamous Frozen fetish games haven't stopped Disney from marketing the gently caress out of Frozen.

I wouldn't be surprised if Zootopia had a sequel or something down the road, a TV series isn't going to sound right because making that many hours of inoffensive television from a script that intrepidly addressed social tribalism and cultural stereotyping is difficult.

I still argue that if they did a Parks and Rec style office comedy with Zootopia, it'd be oddly fitting.

To a part yeah basically, they weren't expecting a sudden army of weird manbabies to spring up and spread the gospel of their show, but they sure didn't mind all their money that came with it.

This made me realize that, contrary to my beliefs, there's a very significant portion of the VA community that came from T.V./film acting. - Mark Hammil - Tim Curry - David Warner - Patrick Warburton - Brad Garrett - Ed Asner I mean, I knew this was already the case to some degree, but it's actually more prominent than I figured. My whole world is falling apart. D:

Also, MAD was WB Animation, not Cartoon Network Studios, so technicality. I am going to be honest, I completely forgot MAD existed. And remembering MAD made me remember Annoying Orange, so thanks a fuckin' lot for that.

Scooby-Doo Mystery Inc. was totally worth a drat and also survived to an ending, despite CN's best efforts to murder it at every opportunity.
