If they're gonna revive it a second time, might as well do something different with it.

I could imagine it being half true, that they would use that style for a segment on a single episode or something.

It's Usagi Yojimbo but made into a marketable toyified children's cartoon by way of like, one of the recent TMNT series.

My brother and I just went to see The Bad Guys. It was a really funny and charming movie outside of one joke that was a bit childish, but still used well enough that we didn't mind it (specifically Pirahna's nerve farts)

There's a billboard for "The Bad Guys" next to my home and I am weirdly irritated by the fact that there's a mammal, a reptilian a bug and two fish. Every time I walk past that billboard I keep thinking that this stupid little piranha should have been an amphibian. Well I guess Disney owns the concept of amphibias nowadays.

Granted, I know literally nothing about that movie and maybe that's part of the plot, where a poisonous frog was a former gang member, before they had their falling out, shortly before they met that piranha. But this overrepresentation of fish is just not right.

Yeah that was my takeaway too. Had a blast watching it, it's really fun family-friendly heist/crime film.

I mean, Usagi Yojimbo has literally appeared in at least one TMNT cartoon.

Gives me vibes of a way-too-late cash-in on Kung Fu Panda.

That Usagi show just makes me sad. While it was probably fun to work on, cg action cartoons always look like crap unless they have Dreamworks dragons money behind them.

The CG TMNT actually got pretty good later on, when they were clearly throwing their money around. But yeah, even the well accomplished ones like Sonic Boom tend to run up against the limits of their budgets quickly.

That's probably why the better ones focus on the comedy. Sonic Boom wasn't remembered for being an action cartoon, it was well liked because people found it really funny.

Some of it's honestly better without context since they have to at least try to wrap every episode around a stock action cartoon plot. And you can tell they struggle with the budget when one-off and background characters who are deliberately designed to be bland and boring compared to the protagonists start being named regulars.

Also apparently a Despicable Me 4 was announced a little while ago but it won't be out until 2024

The new Kung Fu panda cartoon stills they've released look pretty good, at least from what you can see of the lighting and texturing. The previous series were done in India and used a sound-alike for Jack Black, now that the movies have ended I guess they needed a higher profile cartoon to recapture consciousness of the IP so they brought back Jack Black and have a studio in Vancouver doing the animation for the upcoming show.

There's also this big push into Unreal to get around the lack of lighting and compositing resources tv shows have. In film and vfx the lighting render passes are split into like 30 different attributes that comp can tweak to make the final image look really good. TV they usually just press the "render" button after setting the default sequence lighting and comp can maybe tweak the shadows or add 2d motion blur. I've been on tv shows where the comp department is one guy, whereas in movies they've usually got like 300 compositors working 16 hour days tweaking every frame.

Thank ya! Can't spill a lot, but Jake Wyatt's the showrunner and he's been working on this at least since Zim. Expect a ton of doofy anime jokes because Jake is Jake and that's how he breathes. This Supes has a fairly unique curveball that I'm pretty into.

Hey cool. I’m a big Superman fan and while Batman always seems to have a cartoon in one form or another, Superman has been adrift since Justice League Unlimited ended (let’s not talk about the DCU animated movies...)

Hope this will be fun.

Justice League vs The Fatal Five was pretty fun, but otherwise, yeah.

Also nice to see Lois Lane given some proper character, so many versions struggle to do anything with her.
