Wheat Loaf posted:I mostly saw the Disney Afternoon stuff as reruns on the Disney Channel UK a few years after they'd originally been on. I liked Darkwing Duck a lot but my favourite Disney cartoon when I was a kid was Recess. Recess was loving great. Not many kids show throw in a "battleship potemkin" reference in an episode.

Talespin was like an anime gateway drug. Replace most of the Jungle Book animals with thin androgynous character models with different colours of spiky hair and it's like nothing else has to be different at all for it to work.

I'm pretty sure I even went to see the Recess movie in the cinema. I know I got my dad to take me to see the Hey Arnold movie in the cinema and I was really disappointed by it.

Recess was when I realized kids' cartoons were becoming bad, and we entered that hellzone where every cartoon was about kids going to school.

I got a feeling that these could all be traced back to Doug. As far as cartoons, Cartoon Network was soaring during the 90's with Dexter's Lab, Powerpuff Girls, and Cow and Chicken.

I liked Doug just fine when I was like 5 but I can't imagine I'd enjoy watching it now. It was a terribly slow show with a lame sense of humor and asinine life lessons like "trying new foods is ok". redbackground posted:Are some of those like dirty Canadian knock-off shows, because I only recognize 4 of 'em.

I think it's way more likely that you just grew up than kids shows suddenly became poo poo. I have the same line in the sand drawn right behind Rocko's Modern Life, and stuff like Angry Beavers or Hey Arnold did nothing for me. But I have encountered people who are a bit older than I am who have that line between Ren and Stimpy and Rocko. There's people younger with fond memories of all this poo poo. Everything is relative.

Well yeah. And like I said my problem was that I was into imaginative, adventure-focused stuff and there was suddenly an over-abundance of shows set in very mundane "kids going to school" settings that I specifically turned to escapist fiction to... escape from. I'd grown up watching Darkwing Duck, Maya the Bee, Bumbo the talking car, Aladdin, and other shows like it, I had very little interest in something like Recess. Although I will fight to the death on the hill that Rocket Power was a very bad show.

I was to old when all this wave of shows came on the air. But. Recess I remember watching as I was older and it had jokes for adults in it and I think I was watching for that. Not the kids playing at school.

Lurdiak posted:Oh yeah I also watched Sailor Moon as a kid. That was a good show. One thing I remember about Sailor Moon was that all the adverts for it made it out to be a kind of Dragon Ball Z action show, because Cartoon Network got DBZ and it was hugely popular and everyone else decided they wanted a piece of it (I remember Nickelodeon doing exactly the same thing with this other show called CardCaptors). Another thing I remember about Sailor Moon is that I thought it was some kind of weird Sabrina the Teenage Witch cartoon, because Sabrina is a blonde girl with magic powers and a talking black cat, while the main character in Sailor Moon was called "Serena" in the English dub who was a blonde girl with magic powers and a talking black cat.

I watched the original run, well before the DBZ wrestling audience revival you're talking about. The early 90s dub stopped before the season which had lesbians in it, which may or may not be because it had lesbians in it. Then when the show got brought back when anime was blowing up and a different company dubbed those later seasons, they made the lesbian couple "cousins" to explain why they're always together and why they care so strongly about each other. It was pretty sickening, really. Lurdiak fucked around with this message at 19:57 on May 19, 2017 |

My brother and I both had a reflexive revulsion to Rocket Power and The Weekenders, I think there was a particular height/width ratio to their awful faces that was like the visual equivalent of curdled milk to us.

I'm a child of the 70s/80s and most 90s cartoons leave me cold (with some exceptions, like The Tick and Powerpuff Girls). I find Rugrats and stuff like Cow and Chicken that tries to ape the Kricfalusi sstyle repellent to watch. So yeah, tastes change.

Endless Mike posted:Rocko's Modern Life is good because they got this in. To be fair, at least one in every three Rocko episodes had something in it that definitely shouldn't have gotten past the S&P board. at least. I'm too old to have watched Recess. I only watched one episode I can remember, on a boring saturday visiting my mom. They had a plot where the younger kids got the main cast into what was obviously supposed to be pokemon cards, and of course they got hooked on it. And eventually they see the light and realize that as kids they should be playing on the recess equipment and playing ball and stuff, not wasting their time on this game. It was so ridiculously passive-aggressive of a swipe by disney of the phenom they didn't have an involvement in, and the end message really felt like old people sitting on a porch not trusting kids these days because they aren't playing hopscotch or chasing a hoop with a stick like they did. I'm glad I didn't watch the show after that.

Bombadilillo posted:He did confirm that rescue rangers started as literally Magnum PI with cartoons, when they sat down to write they said, "well we cant have them doing drugs" so the added other things to make it what it became. Its just interesting to me that the base wasn't The Rescuers, or Indian Jones, loving Magnum PI was the foundation! Makes sense to me. Magnum PI was one of America's biggest cultural trends during the time period in which Rescue Rangers was in development. If you're going to spoof more mature entertainment with mass appeal via a kids cartoon show in the early 90s, Magnum PI is a no-brainer.

Um, excuse me. Angela Anaconda and everything else on KaBlam! ruled butt. To bring this around to comics, reading House of Penance, I have a theory that the artist developed a style based on Klasky Csupo cartoons.  To me this looks like someone raised on Aaahh!!! Real Monsters. edit: That's Ian Bertram, btw. Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 10:23 on May 21, 2017 |

Huh, I read all of House of Penance (because I will read anything and everything to do with the Winchester House), and I'd never thought of the art that way before but it does seem to remind me of that style. It's great art, too.
