plainswalker75 posted:In traditional cell animation, the background is often a distinct layer, so it doesn't need to get redrawn on every single frame of a scene and it's cheaper and faster to animate Another fun fact: Very few cartoons are broadcast live, it's a terrible strain on the animators' wrists.

So I took a look at the newest Halloween ep. They were usually among the best of each season. If that was among the best, just, yow. Haven't watched in years. So much time not wasted!

I watch a bunch every year starting with the first one. I got to season 14 before it got real bad. Every few seasons there's a good bit or parody, but far more often than not it's just "here's the plot to avatar, beat by beat, with the people of Springfield." E: apologies for putting this trash here, I thought I was in the other Simpsons thread! Cocaine Bear fucked around with this message at 16:58 on Oct 31, 2023 |

I watched the first 7 treehouses yesterday. They're all still pretty good except (especially early season) for a couple really unfortunate racial/ethnic stereotypes and Lisa dressing like a totem pole as a "tribute" to Native Americans.

Can't wait for the Lisa Lionheart revival for their Barbie parody.

I remember an early selling point for venture Brothers, when they were shopping the pilot around, was it was a flash animation so you could put it on the web more easily than streaming the actual video.

Yeah did people think all those kids loving around with Flash in the early 00s were just going to drop their entire toolkit when they went pro, like there was an animator academy that would teach them the "real" and "most respectable" arts of hand-drawn cels and "real" design? Nah dudes it's content creation pipes. The actual "what" and "how" doesn't matter that much as long as the poo poo is passable.

This goes for both KOTH and The Simpsons: the animation in the first two seasons is awesome and better than anything else in the entire run by far.

Counterpoint: Klasky Csupo weren't very good in the late 80s and only started really getting the hang of it just before they got dropped for Film Roman for season 4. Their best looking episode is probably Streetcar Named Marge and even that's only above-average animation for what Roman would do for the next few years.

Literally A Person posted:This goes for both KOTH and The Simpsons: the animation in the first two seasons is awesome and better than anything else in the entire run by far. Season 1 Simpsons is jerky and weird looking. You can count the frames of animation for any given line of dialogue on your fingers, and their facial movements are so exaggerated that they look like sonic adventure cutscenes

There's a part of me that appreciates poo poo like the weird background gradients and purple trees but in general very early Simpsons was rough looking.

Conjoined BartsSentient Data posted:(And, yes, give me technically weird/crappy but full-of-vision animation over on-model stiffness any day of the week) Yeah but there was like a 5 year period where the animation was expressive and fun but also real good on a technical level and the writing was also pretty great. I was just baffled by "the first 2 seasons" as being that poster's high water mark. Baron von Eevl fucked around with this message at 17:29 on Nov 2, 2023 |

Yeah there are parts of Seasons 1-3 that are interesting and more experimental than what 4-7 did, but the inconsistency is noticeable
