He has a similar character that's a def jam comedy French comedian. He uses some culturally nonsensical French metaphor and then stares at the camera and says "Incroyable! In croy ah blay!"

BioEnchanted posted:I always have a soft spot for stupid punchlines like Kenan's chocolate chef from his stint on The Amanda Show, where the whole joke is that he makes items out of chocolate that have no logical reason to exist, and the punchline is always something like The chocolate chef? I"m pretty sure that was a recurring sketch in All That

From my recollection All That mostly holds up(aside from a bit of seasonal rot towards the end when all of the classic cast members had left and all that was left were new people who hadn't found their comedic groove yet) but The Amanda Show not so much, fell a bit too much into the same trap MAD TV did in that same time period of thinking "people being loud obnoxious weird assholes" was the peak of comedy and not having anything else to mix it up or add depth so the show was often more infuriating than funny

The end of Season 3 of Once Upon a Time really shows how far Regina's come as a person - she's mad at Emma again, which is fair, she screwed up badly enough to inadventently ruin her true love by bringing his ex back from the past, but while she's mad she's not being vengeful, with her warning basically being "Let's hope that that's the ONLY thing you hosed up, you absolute moron..."

The thing that ruined All That for me was the sketch where a guy needed something for show and tell, and so he took out another guy's spleen, and he was just slowly presenting it while the other guy slowly died. Which is psychologically gross and depressing even if Nickelodeon has done grosser. There wasn't even a blood effect, I think they just used green jello. Larryb posted:Live action ATLA trailer: Things I liked:
I guess the real make or break is the martial art choreography, or I think more importantly, the framing of the martial art choreography, because lots of shows and movies can do the fancy dances with varying level of success, but it takes real artistic weight to give fights drama and weight.

I think so far my favourite idea in Once Upon a Time is season 4's spell of shattered sight. It had a cool visual effect to go along with the name.

Is it me, or do other people think that Hamster and Gretel is missing something or falling short of the rest of the...Doofenverse? Tri-State Area Milieu? Maybe it just seems like it's aiming for a much younger audience.

Goodburger 2 was good. My only complaint is they used "I'm a dude, she's a dude, he's a dude, cause we're all dudes" way too often. But otherwise it was delightfully stupid and entertaining. Proof positive the Abbot and Costello / Martin and Lewis formula still works. There should be more dumb buddy comedies.

It really is amazing how this person continually makes bad decisions. Like, he legit had to walk back a movie cancellation because he almost lost the flagship director of his entire planned reboot of the DC Universe because he couldn't be arsed to check that the film he was going to cancel was the passion project they green lit to get him. And then got a congressman to (admitably, nothing will come of this) point out his abuse of tax credits should result in an IRS investigation. It is an amazing level of terrible CEO. I thought people hated that Far Right Disney CEO who lasted two years, canceled Owl House, and then got ousted for incompetence. But David Zslav is looking to be one of the most hated TV Executives in America. Covok fucked around with this message at 04:36 on Nov 28, 2023 |

The CEO you're referring to was also the creator of "The Disney Vault" concept, and also ran the parks into the ground before being put in charge of Disney as Iger's fall guy for the losses that were about the happen.

Oh wow. I actually do buy he was put in charge to take the hit for Iger. When Iger came back, a lot of people reached that conclusion. I wasn't expecting that Bob Chapek was also the fool who decided that hiding movies from people to drum up sales was anything other than evil.

Yeah, this is my read as well. It's funny that they thought they could gently caress with classic kid's cartoons and not raise hackles. They're basically loving with people's childhoods.

Funny thing is when I had heard that Looney Tunes was going to be leaving MAX I figured that was just because WBD was going to license them out to one of the other services like how Tubi had a bunch of their cartoons last I checked, so was actually surprised that it was just a "goof" on their part Also since it's December and Christmas Season that means watching Christmas Specials & Movies, and I'm starting things off with one of my personal favorites the 1985 Rankin Bass adaptation of The Life & Adventures of Santa Claus, and yup still really good, a little tired of the VHS quality rip I've been using for the last couple years to watch it though so I finally ordered a copy of that Bluray set they did of all the Rankin Bass Christmas Specials, will be nice to see the modeling work in a halfway decent resolution for the first time in over a decade(Lord knows the last time anyone bothered airing this one on TV)

Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer is incredibly corny/cheesy and somewhat low budget but it has a lot of heart and charm to it and I'd say it has solidly earned it's spot in the roster of classic Christmas Specials

I've been rewatching through Tangled with my mom, and we've finished season 2. It kinda hurts to end right before the real banger of a song Crossing the Line, but With You By My Side is also real nice, and there's something soulfully bleak about Everything I Ever Thought I Knew. I guess there was a bit more foreshadowing of Cassandra than I remembered, but the Waiting in the Wings song kinda gives the wrong impression. The main thing frustrating her throughout the second season isn't really that she is stuck in a subservient position, it's the fact that she based her entire personality around being the best at fighting in her little neck of the woods, and she's just getting her rear end Worf'd all over the place ever since leaving Corona. Big fish from a small pond. Has there ever been a Behind The Scenes or Making Of featurette or article? I always thought the animation of the Tangled show looked like it had some weird something extra. I've heard vague things about using 3D animation programs to do 2D animation, but I really don't know anything about it. I do think there are a few moments where there's a surprising amount of dimensionality to the art about little things that you'd think wouldn't matter enough to keep track of if it couldn't just be automatically (and not just the obvious 3D-rendered elements like the carriage). I know there's been plenty of looks at the storyboards, but I want to know more about the animation process.

Just finished Hilda, while the season could have used a bit more time to fully flesh out the new plot points they introduced it still works well enough (also the finale is over an hour long which helps a bit) Granted, I feel like the show could have ended just fine after the movie (which I believe was also the last graphic novel to be released for the series though this is sort of an adaption of the most recent regular novel) but I’m glad the extra season is decent at least I also kind of like Astrid and the slight redesigns for the main cast

Hilda S3 is great Hilda is great Honestly it should go into history on the same shelf as Over the Garden Wall as a timeless piece of children's animation. It's just absolutely incredible beginning to end, and I'm sad that there won't be any more of it

Hilda is indeed quite great. Liked it all thorough. Still don't get the hype for Over the Garden Wall, though. That show was okay, but didn't have anything standing out and the characters were mediocre.

Sockser posted:Hilda S3 is great How are the Hilda comics/books out of curiosity (I know the cartoon expanded on things a fair bit at least)? But yeah, while the movie would have also been a good place to end things on I appreciate what they decided to follow it up with all the same and I don’t think there’s a single episode in the entire show that I could really consider “bad” (hell, there’s even a little wiggle room left to continue on from should they ever change their minds) Larryb fucked around with this message at 22:36 on Dec 8, 2023 |

I was just showing my brother the first few episodes of A Tale Dark and Grimm, and I appreciate that they use the unsettling designs of the sun and moon to great effect when time is passing because the sun and moon's manic grins look like they are leering at the story, giving time passing itself an antagonistic feel. It almost makes the audience scared of time itself, which is a very primal idea.
