Plus while Titmouse animated the intro and parts of a few eps, and while a few of the key crew members were major people at titmouse (like titmouse founder Chris Pyrnoski, and Juno Lee), titmouse did not do any preproduction work on the show, that was all CN Studios (with the key titmouse people being CN Studios employees during their time on the show)

Titmouse and CN will come together when a conversation goes like this: CN Exec: "Well, I think we can agree on one thing when it comes to that show..." TM Exec: "What?" CN: "Well, I dig giant robots." TM "You dig giant robots? Nah, WE dig giant robots." CN "It'll sell too, because CHICKs dig Giant robots!" Both: "Nice..."

OldTennisCourt posted:I think my memories were totally wiped by the sheer nightmare of incredibly annoying people the show caused (mainly because of Gir) because the new Zim special reminded me of how drat funny the show was. Yeah I watched the Zim movie since I was very bored this afternoon and I was totally fearing that it would be a bunch of monkeycheese garbage but I had forgotten how good the show was and how much I liked it. Let too many morons obsessed with GIR and the drat doom song soil my memory. ...Of course though, I'm a total sucker for any show/movie where they go through different "dimensions" that are just art style shifts, so I probably would've loved it even if it was actually monkeycheese garbage. I loved during the final parts when it shifted to line art. I kept waiting for them to shift to live action at some point but then I guess hiring live actors for like a 5 second scene would be too silly. ThermoPhysical posted:https://tvweb.com/rugrats-revival-nancy-cartwright-chuckie-nickelodeon/ Jesus, I only knew about the movie, I didn't know there was a show revival too. I don't understand... okay, I do understand, nostalgia makes everything seem better. but there's soooo many better things to revive before that.

Would this be the correct thread for looking for a cartoon? A pal on Discord was hit with a rush and they're looking for an old show they used to watch:Discord Person posted:Biggest problem is that I don't recall who made them, and not even exact decade they were most likely produced. This is what they've posted on Discord. Not sure how much of it is a mishmash or if it refers to one show, but there's a bunch of "looking for old cartoons" posts in the first page so it seems like an okay place to post. If not, just say the word and I'll edit And for some content, I'm watching Avatar these days. It's very enjoyable.

Hmm... So Enter the Florpus I enjoyed most of the movie, but I felt... unfulfilled by the end? I guess? I wasn't a super big fan of how the end didn't really feel... final. It felt like they ended it in a way that there's definitely going to be more Zim, which as far as I know isn't the case? Everything more or less went back to normal (as normal as can be with the second Dr Membrane and I guess the Tallest are in a pickle). I was hoping Dr Membrane would eventually realize the whole thing was real but they kept that up the entire time and I didn't really enjoy that. It kind of made the thing where he said he's always been proud of Dib feel weaker to me. The first half of the movie also kind of felt like it was taking a long time to get going. I guess I also expected Zim to outright lose but at the end he's just back to living right on the street like nothing happened. That being said, there were tons of things I did like. I really liked the big twist with Zim tricking Dib with the bracelets and stuff.. The climax of the movie was an absolute blast and a ton of fun, with great animation. Great animation all around. I loved Gaz being much more of an actual character in this and she does a ton of stuff. Her eyes are open all the time too. It felt really satisfying when she got to control the spaceship. And despite the problems I stated up there, the movie still FELT like Invader Zim. It felt like it never left, everything from the tone to the voice acting, to the art style, it all felt true to Zim. Also Justin Roiland's Morty voice just gets me every time, no matter what role he's in. Lemongrab, Morty, Blendin, this robot, Doop-Doop in Star Vs. It's the same drat voice but it makes me laugh every time.

I kinda have an attitude of "let sleeping dogs lie" for a lot of these old IPs. If they had a good run, make it accessible to current audiences and then use resources to pursue new ideas rather than circling old successes. I would sure like to see what Symbiotic Titan would've become though.

Yeah I feel like there's a way higher chance of failure than success when doing show revivals. The fact that we've gotten a few good recent ones are the exceptions to the rule imo. but then, "circling old successes" is basically Nick's M.O. nowadays, what with making a loving Young Spongebob series and all.\ Macaluso posted:Also Justin Roiland's Morty voice just gets me every time, no matter what role he's in.

It actually kinda makes me wonder if they're gonna kill the original series to make it, because the guys announced to be the showrunners on Kamp Koral (Vincent Waller and Marc Ceccarelli) are the guys who have been showrunners for the post-2nd movie episodes.

Rocko's Modern Life was years ahead of its time there. I kinda forget that for all of his easygoing if cautious pollyanna attitude, once Rocko gets an idea in his head he's really hard to stop, which can actually work in his favour because sheer persistence ignoring everything else is pretty much the only way to accomplish anything.

I saw the Rocko special a few days ago and I gotta say, the more I think about it, the more I think it was really phoned in. It leaned way too much on meta humor, there were too many "hey remember this" callbacks with no other jokes or spins added to them, and it was a retelling of the Season 2 two-parter that introduced us to The Fatheads. If this weren't a series with a previous track record of being great, I'd also write off Rachel Bighead as something that's there to give the likes of AV Club and Buzzfeed red meat so that they can crow about its "importance."

Rocko's Modern Life recap: Made it about a minute or two in until guy's big weird nipples shoot out and twist around then had to turn it off. Will try again another day. Invader Zim recap: I'd say almost perfect for a continuation of the series. Everything that should've happened, happened and everyone's character and arc made sense. It feels like they were not constrained by the time allotment. Their story was going to take about 70 minutes to tell so that's what it was.
