To be fair, Lightning did indeed lose the race in the first Cars and even came in third

It's possible Lightning McQueen doesn't win any races on screen in any cars movie (he definitely is exposited as winning a bunch between the first two movies). Yes I have a 3 year old why do you ask?

I just got back from finally seeing The Red Turtle. It was really neat! The art was great, the music was great, the little crabs were awesome, and I think it pulled off the "this is a fairy tale" feel quite a bit better than Kubo (and I liked Kubo a lot!). I still think Zootopia probably deserves its win, but I do wish Red Turtle had gotten more attention, and a wider release.

I'm actually surprised Hedrigall doesn't give it more attention considering what the dude does to that turtle.

Waffleman_ posted:Why did Surf's Up need a sequel and why did it need to be a WWE joint For the same reason Scooby Doo has 'em. Got to get kids to watch the wrestlemans. As for the Coco trailer, the dog was kind of cute but wow that skeleton is off-putting. Something went wrong for me between the boneflesh mouth and the disembodied eyeballs plopped into the sockets. My first time seeing the Coco designs was a comparison between it and Book of Life and man, Book of Life just looks so good.

I suppose this is more fitting for TVIV, but seems Cartoon Network is getting a show based on Unikitty from The LEGO Movie. Maybe as a one-off April Fool's Day thing, I dunno.

they have other shows they can air in repeats all along the right hand side except the bottom two since they haven't aired, like Steven Universe, Adventure Time, Uncle Grandpa, Regular Show and Clarence that's what's so insane about this

Are those other shows more serial than the shows that actually get aired?

Also, back to the Unikitty show, the track record for animated shows based on Lord & Miller movies is not good, as we can see every day at 5:30. E: Though I literally just noticed that the show remembers Flint's spray-on shoes, which is good attention to detail Waffleman_ fucked around with this message at 22:34 on Mar 30, 2017 |

Klungar posted:Are those other shows more serial than the shows that actually get aired? Steven Universe and Adventure Time (at least up through season 5, where I'm at) are loosely serial. Sometimes there's a season goal or a multi-part episode, but they can typically be aired out of order. Uncle Grandpa isn't at all. Regular show I have no idea, as I'm only at two; it looks like it's not serial until the last season. Also these shows have really huge seasons like 26-52 episodes per season. It's real weird there's no repeats from them. maybe there's some weirdo corporate thing or something

I reserve judgement until the finished product (if it is indeed real). Hey, the Lego Movie itself was brushed off hand by a lot of people for just being a feature length commercial. No reason it's spin off can't be the same surprise it was. Admittedly, I can see why they're going about it this way. The Lego Movie seemed ripe by the Lego Company to become a new pillar like Star Wars, only one they didn't have to pay large dividends to Disney for. But after that first year of toys, nothing really seemed to come from it, as they kinda dropped the ball immediately by developing Lego Batman Movie and then surprisingly an almost unprompted Ninjago spinoff. Only now are they deep into production of the sequel, and in the interim leaving characters like Metalbeard, Emmet, and Unikitty forgotten. So I can see a show like this being pushed out by Warner/Lego to put some more Unikitty (and perhaps by extension Lego Movie) product on shelves, or at the very least a new line of girl/girl friendly toys to diversify the shelves that normally the Friends line occupies exclusively.

Hope you like four solid hours of Teen Titans Go! gently caress, when I was a kid I'd have at least four channels worth of cartoons I'd be jumping between, hell I'd switch to another channel during commercials and then get absorbed in another show and miss out on the one I was watching. Between Disney, YTV, Teletoon and Fox I was spoiled for choice cartoons.

I didn't have cable as a kid so I relied on the weird Canadian and other import cartoons (occasional Nicktoons etc) on Australia's equivalent to PBS, on weekday afternoons. Also new episodes of Angry Beavers a friend taped off Nickelodeon for me  There were morning cartoons on commercial channels but I never woke up in time for those Oh and I finally got cable in like grade 10 but by then I thought I was too cool for cartoons, what a stupid idiot

I'm imagining you getting like a tape mailed to you every so often filled with nothing but Angry Beavers episodes. Then they do it like once or twice a month.

My animation bluray collection is growing, I got Moana and Robin Hood yesterday  It's a shame half the movies I want are either barebones editions now or in lovely two-packs with a DTV sequel. No I don't want Hunchback 2: Hunchback In Da Hood

drat, that Cartoon Network schedule is sad. I feel like it was a channel with a lot of variety and some really experimental stuff in the 90s, looks like everybody's just looking for their Spongebob now.

Doesn't help that it's apparently more profitable for Steven Universe to release in Bombs, despite the fact every single time, the show gets leaked weeks before they air.

American programme scheduling completely baffles me, particularly with cartoons. I enjoyed Gravity Falls but for some reason it kept randomly taking months-long breaks between new episodes and I very quickly just couldn't be hosed with it anymore. TV needs to get its poo poo in gear if it wants to compete with people making new content regularly on youtube. Except they can't compete with these channels turning out mega quick, mega cheap content. TV's hosed. I saw somewhere that the average age of a BBC1 (UK channel obv) viewer was 61. This is the BBC's prime channel. Uh anyway this is kinda a TV discussion rather than movies. drat it's such a dry looking year for feature-length animation.

Reruns of ReBoot and Beast Wars filled in the time between anime ending and cartoons beginning. God I wish I had that much free time now that I have decent internet access.

This is the BBC's prime channel. This seems to be a recent development in American TV. Like the aforementioned Steven Universe-style bombs (new one's been leaked, btw. lol) and the half-season bullshit that stations like AMC have started. It used to be you'd know new episodes of [x] were due based on the season and the channel would advertise the hell out of it beforehand. Adventure Time had a bomb in January? I think? And I found out halfway through by seeing a post on the official concept art Tumblr. I haaate the bomb thing. I keep missing poo poo. Also, hey there, 90's children! I, too, got up on Sundays at 5 AM to watch Dragon Ball on that weird channel.
