fun fact: Tom Reugger, the showrunner on Pup Named Scooby Doo (as well as 13 Ghosts) would later be the creator/showrunner of Tiny Toons (as well as the other 90s Steven Spielberg Presents shows plus Histeria and Road Rovers)

Original Scooby Doo has the good rear end painted backgrounds, the music, and is also a genre unto itself. A Pup Named Scooby Doo is just another kids' show, it's fine, but retro Scooby Doo is such an influential cartoon it's hard to compare them imho.

A Pup Named Scooby Doo actually made it possible to figure out the culprit from clues before the characters did, iirc, or at least tried to. Scooby Doo has been so all over the place though that a babies spinoff seems less gratuitous than it was for everybody goddamn else in the late 80s/early 90s.

ThermoPhysical posted:I binged the entire Animaniacs series and only got one ad at the beginning of the first episode. I think it depends on what it is that you're watching. Kids programming and movies don't have interstitial ads. You might get an ad at the beginning sometimes, but they don't interrupt the show.

Tom & Jerry Kids was godawful. It was so bad that since I was at an age before I could understand that tv could be good or bad, I just felt extreme irritation at it.

It's a really weird trend, and distinct from stuff like Mickey Mouse Clubhouse that's actually clearly aimed at a younger demographic. Maybe because they thought all those characters being well-established brands meant that kids would think they're old and boring unless it was hammered home that no really they're little kids too? Occasionally you get it the other way around, like Rugrats All Grown Up and Quack Pack. Usually not a lot better. vvv: I know, but similar point; the 'older' characters are put into the background with the younger substitutes getting the spotlight.

The Tiny Toons weren’t young versions, they were taught at Acme Looniversity by old ones.

This one from my recollection wasn't really terrible like a lot of the other Kids/Baby versions, it was just really boring Ghost Leviathan posted:It's a really weird trend, and distinct from stuff like Mickey Mouse Clubhouse that's actually clearly aimed at a younger demographic.

The real reason is that Muppet Babies was a really huge hit back in the 80's so everyone was trying to recapture that magic, the success of A Pup Named Scooby-Doo and especially Rugrats during the 90's merely pushed this even harder for a while

The only reason I know loony toons is because nickelodeon had looney toons back in the 1990s they would also play the old black and white cartoons. For some reason I think I d like a reboot of Jem and the holigrams

General consensus seems to be 'Disney doesn't do more than three seasons per animated show'. I dunno, it seems silly to me. They've set up about a dozen spinoff possibities, so who knows, maybe they'll shift the team over and start one of them.

Well there apparently is a Darkwing Duck reboot coming at some point but it’s being made by a completely different creative team and may or may not not line up with the Darkwing from the current series

Maybe they wanna quit whilst they're ahead which is a completely valid tactic imho. Nothing's worse when a previously good thing visibly rots off screen from what is essentially old age (MLP springs to mind though Star Vs is a pretty good local example).

MikeJF posted:General consensus seems to be 'Disney doesn't do more than three seasons per animated show'. I suspect Covid and Disney taking it in the pants from their theme parks being closed may factor into it as well. Animation is super expensive and it wouldn't surprise me to hear that they're shifting focus to projects that are cheaper and easier to produce for a while. OTOH animation is something I imagine you could do from home unlike live action so who the hell really knows.

It also costs more to go over 3 seasons due to union rules and doing that backfired recently for Disney with Star Vs and Star Wars Rebels as both massively underperformed during their fourth seasons

Okay, if it's about loving over labor laws, then I can understand why Disney would do that. It's a shame. I wouldn't be surprised if they somehow tried to return to it again, but I think the Ducktales superhero stuff was incredibly boring and not capable of sustaining a show on its own. The Flophouse reminded me about the Scooby movies, and I watched Happy Halloween Scooby Doo, and apparently the movies are now building continuity between themselves? Weird. I think it couldn't quite balance all the weird elements against eachother as well as the previous movies I've seen, they kinda lost track of the pacing. I also think the way Kate Micucci plays Velma is a bit too abrasive to carry the whole movie like they were trying. I think she had a different, more energetic delivery in Be Cool Scooby Doo.

They also moved it to Disney XD, instead of having it on the main channel, where it kind of suffered.

I really don't know what Disney really wants out of its TV shows anyways. It seems like their TV division is extremely low priority for the company as a whole, and having a successful show would practically be a burden for them, because that's the only segment of the company that isn't designed to milk IPs indefinitely for all their worth, and bringing a TV show to the next step is a hassle.
