They really need to have their own separate animation awards. Do they have an animations awards? Do I just not know about it?

In the US they have the Annie Awards: https://annieawards.org/nominees/

The 2018 Annies will be held in a little over a week!

Edit: whooooo, Pickle Rick is nominated for Best General Audience Animated Television/Broadcast Production

Hey the new Duck Tales was great, let's see if we can resurrect another classic (?) TV series:

C'mon Disney you can throw in a TIE Fighter in the opening credits like the old one.

The video is down now, what was it?

Oh that's lame. The video was the opening theme of the new Muppet Babies, that show that I watched that introduced me to a whole bunch of classic movies before I knew what they were. Hell, I'm reasonably certain I watched the show before I even knew who the Muppets were.

There's a few other videos kicking around. The animation looks a little stilted and stiff to me?

The annoying thing is that they already had the puppets ready to go

I also recall some mid-90s Muppet Show spin-off (Muppets Tonight, I think?), wherein one character wanted to play some Muppet Babies clips while another wanted to play clips from Seinfeld, and in their rush to get the tapes to the set, they ran into one another and somehow fused the tapes into Seinfeld Babies. Probably the only gag I remember from the show, actually...

Yeah it was a pretty good sketch

I also still hate that it’s called “Ralph Breaks the Internet”. I get that it’s a pun on Ralph wrecking things but that phrase is so dumb

I think it's a bit weird that they'd name a kid's movie after a phrase that was popularized thanks to Kim Kardashian's butt.

If you adjust for inflation, all of them except Beauty and the Beast I think. Of course, the other animated films came out during a time in which theatrical re-releases were common.

Yeah if you compare just the original 1961 animated release of 101 Dalmatians which had a box office of $14 million to the 1996 live action remake which made $136 million then the remake comes out ahead (even after adjusting for inflation) but the original was also re-issued in 1969, 1979, 1985 and 1991 for a lifetime gross of $144 million and if you adjust all those for inflation it comes out to $917 million in today's money.

It's certainly a problem the video game industry has as well. You think you deserve better than the piss-poor working conditions that game companies offer? There's like twenty beaming-faced graduates eager to take the spot you're being offered. You will take it, or you will leave it; those are your options.

I read an article recently about a high end law firm where the new kids had to pay the company for the privilege of working there as an interns.

Aw, poo poo, more than X dummies are using a phrase to mean the exact opposite of what the phrase means, I guess we shouldn't try to educate them as to what the phrase means and instead accept that it can mean either thing and thus now means nothing at all

No no, they're totally correct.


I'm using the phrase "totally correct" in the non-traditional sense of course, which means the opposite of what you old-fashioned squares think it does. :v:

It was so forgettable, it never existed.

And yet it went on to make almost a billion dollars worldwide at the box office, so you can expect Disney to pump a film in the exact same mould every year or two from now until the heat death of the universe.

nobody looks at Sausage Party managing to make its budget back almost tenfold and Rick and Morty having a crazy huge rabid fanbase and goes "hmm, maybe there's an audience for adult comedy in animation." it's like they actively ignore it when these things do well.

Adult Swim sure wasn't ignoring it, Rick and Morty just got renewed for another 70 episodes: http://deadline.com/2018/05/rick-and-morty-renewed-70-episode-order-creators-dan-harmon-justin-roiland-deal-adult-swim-1202386828/

They could Venture Brother's it and release 70 episodes over 20 years.

At R&M's current rate of output it would take them over 12 years to get 70 episodes to air, so they'd eventually drop their 100th episode sometime in 2030 or thereabouts.

When the gently caress was there a Hotel Transylvania 3 coming out?

There was a period for Sony where Men In Black had ended, they lost their James Bond licence, they hosed up Amazing Spider-Man and the 21 Jump Street well ran dry so Hotel Transylvania became their most successful remaining franchise via process of elimination. I'm surprised they haven't pumped out more.

Zoids had the titular animal mechs as CGI while the human characters were animated and I felt it worked fairly well, despite being obvious. It gives them a sense of weight and probably makes it a lot easier to have action sequences with the Zoids, even if there's a lot of abuse of stock footage.

Earlier attempts at getting the mix right were less than successful. Lest we forget:

Fan art can get you noticed. One of the designers for the Transformers in Michael Bay movies was hired because of this, and the fan art character he made was used in 4 of Bay's movies with minimal change as well as being made into toys.

There was also an artist who drew DC comicbook characters in the style of 1940s pinup/nosecone art who got noticed at a con and DC collaborated with them and did a series based on the art.

But like K Waste said, those few are just a tiny sliver amongst thousands upon thousands of artists.

Maybe like three episodes prior, it wraps up some stuff. I generally liked season 10 as a whole. The finale is worth watching that past season, and I can agree orgalorg is poo poo.

I loved the way the finale wrapped up the whole Orgalorg thing as well "Gunther has the wish crown, everyone dogpile him! He's an evil space alien in the shape of a penguin ~ o wait nevermind, he just wanted to be the new Ice King. Also a drum kit I guess."

I've never watched any Last Airbender stuff, but I enjoyed The Dragon Prince a lot. The fantasy setting with elves and dragons is totally my poo poo.

Same, the humour felt a bit too try hard in the first ep but 'bad rear end elves doing bad rear end elf poo poo' made up for that.

The young prince and his pet glow toad reminded me of Greg and his pet frog in Over The Garden Wall :)


Regalingualius posted:

Is Dragon Prince pretty standard kids’ fare, or does it have heavier themes despite the Y7 rating, a’la Avatar?

It's got a few heavier themes at times, mostly the evil court wizard doing really nasty poo poo like ordering his son to kill his friend for political reasons, sucking an elf's soul out of his body and trapping it for eternity, etc etc.
