I couldn't tell you when exactly did MLP start losing its thread. I think it was sometimes after season 3? I stopped watching around that time.

Jesus reminds me of the ridiculous poo poo Reboot had to go through before they channel hopped, Dot got a uniboob because realistic anatomy is too sexy, Enzo and Dot can't hug because it would promote incest,

There's a reason cartoons have a long, long history of creators being the biggest dick rear end genies they can about network restrictions, see half of what the DCAU got away with.

Yep, Book Revue had a segment where Daffy was lusciously describing a woman using Lucky Strikes' slang on a yellow background, lot of people theorized this bit was made as Censor bait and was expected to be cut, but it stayed.

Coincidentally I actually watched "Book Revue" recently (it's one of the ones I remember most from when I was little which seemed to disappear from repeats as I grew up - another is the Tom and Jerry episode "The Mouse From H.U.N.G.E.R.") and I was wondering - is the portrayal of Sinatra as this tiny emaciated guy being wheeled around by an orderly a reference to anything in particular or is it just a straightforward "Haha, that guy all the kids like sure is skinny!" gag?

Another one was told to make their lead more feminine because the boys in the test audience were confused about her gender. The first season of the first show I ever worked on couldn't have the characters frown for the entire season because that wouldn't be positive enough for pre-schoolers. In the second season they relaxed and there was even a fight between the mom and daughter. A lot of people try to sneak stuff into these kinds of shows to be subversive. Sometimes it works and its fun and other times it ends with that person not being at work the next day and nobody will say why. The stuff the DCAU got away with on TV is amazing. Too bad none of these shows are animated in North America. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRousqD1A4s

I think lack of tie in toys killed the series the first time. Recently I think networks are relying less on toy sales now that Toys R Us is out of business and toys in general are losing popularity to video games.

Have you seen pictures of Sinatra from the early 40s? I love all the immediately dated "stuff comes to life" shorts since they're a good cross section of what was popular at the time. Though, I only knew people like Sinatra, Crosby, and Bogart from what I saw in cartoons until I got into classic film.

Also, probably don't bother watching the Have You Got Any Castles short, which is literally just Book Revue but worse in every way.

Thompsons posted:Also, probably don't bother watching the Have You Got Any Castles short, which is literally just Book Revue but worse in every way. Book Revue was sort of a remake of the B&W cartoon A Coy Decoy. That one doesn't get shown anymore because it has a gag with Daffy walking into Black Beauty and emerging riding a large black woman.

Sure, I've seen him from the 40s, but I guess the image of Sinatra I have in my mind is from his Rat Pack days when he was older.

The hell was up with the plot of the second one? IIRC didn't they make up a second girl at the orphanage just to have her come back as the villian instead of the first orphanage girl?

Sio's not from the orphanage, she's Jinno's brother who got adopted away to a rich family when he went to the dojo and Afro's shown as only having met her a couple times when she was a kid. and, frankly, she's not really a villain, because the point of Resurrection is making Afro confront that he's basically turned into a slightly different Justice.

And they manage to even gently caress up everything around Hughes' death, pity given the actor cast as Hughes was dead on

Oh, anime movies definitely can't work on the shithouse budgets they always get. Speed Racer is a clear exception and example of how to make it work; go WITH the absurdity, not against it. (though it was pretty divergent to have basically F-Zero style tracks where the Mach 5 is typical rather than the original's comparatively grounded if gimmicky car races where the Mach 5 is an exceptional vehicle) Nor when the producers seem to fundamentally not understand why it's popular in the first place, and both try to shoehorn it into a typical Hollywood mold while also making jarring, unnecessary changes, like with Ghost in the Shell and Battle Angel Alita. Or in the case of Dragon Ball Evolution, you get the worst of both worlds. And an honorary mention for The Last Airbender.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:I just looked up what sessions are available for TTGttM at my local cinema here in Australia and for some pants-on-head-stupid reason they're not releasing it until September 13 They time kids releases for school holidays, despite it being proven to lose them heaps of money because piracy surges when we are made to wait behind American audiences. The Lego Movie is estimated to have lost $5 million in Australia pursuing this strategy. Most blockbuster releases have fixed their schedule to account for this, except for John Wick 2 which was delayed by three months for some reason.

Aside from Pocahontas still looking weird, I actually like this casual wear look for the princesses, even if Snow White's is a little too meta-y for my tastes.

I still don't know what the plot of this movie is. In the first movie, Ralph is tired of being the bad guy and explores different games to find himself, as the hero of his game seeks to bring him back and fix everything, I remember the first trailer making that clear. In this movie, Ralph and Vanelope go to the internet to meet all your favorite brands, and... hang out with them?

The Wreck it Ralph movie should be all about Nazis invading the internet, and the brands meekly submitting to them.
