Pick posted:The only past kid's cartoon that held up really well imho is Gargoyles. To be honest it's just a really good supernatural soap opera and if it had been correctly marketed to 30 year old women it would be in Season 57. I agree with you that Gargoyles holds up, but disagree on why, to an extent it's a really good supernatural soap opera, but it's also very definitely one for kids. it never tries to hide that or makes any bones about that, and one of its best episodes (possibly the absolute peak of the show) is a straight up Very Special Episode about why you shouldn't gently caress with guns. what makes it still work, revisiting it as a 23-year-old, is that it's a kids show that works at kids' level but never actually talks down to them and trusts their intelligence rather than insulting it. it's almost a predecessor to the... I don't want to say current, but recent crop of kids shows like Avatar: TLA and Adventure Time and Regular Show; it's written for its audience, but it never loses sight of actually being a good show in the name of singlemindedly pursuing its audience. it remembers to actually loving try.

I will say that there's one Deitch T&J, the "Tom and Jerry Cartoon Kit" one, that I actually really, really like. It's crudely animated like the other Deitch shorts, but the meta joke it relies on is fantastic.

starkebn posted:watched Belladonna of Sadness last night. What a beautiful film, great soundtrack too. The Japanese and French really seem to be able to get more out of the medium than what comes out of America. The problem is that animation in America is either for kids, or extremely vulgar comedies. The Japanese and French can get more out of the medium because they actually want to, whereas American audiences largely see getting more out of the medium as an absurd waste of time.

Guy Mann posted:Almost all of the most-watched animation in Japan and France are vulgar comedies and/or for children. Just because only the criticially-acclaimed and/or niche products are the only ones to get attention in America doesn't mean that's the only thing they make or that they're the most popular in their home countries. It may not be the most popular stuff coming out of those countries, but at least artsy stuff for adults comes out of those countries, period. I'm trying to think of analogous stuff from America and I'm pretty much just coming up with Bakshi's work, Heavy Metal (and 2000 I guess), some of Hertzfeldt's stuff (but not all), Aeon Flux, and Anomalisa; artsy, adult-oriented animation just isn't a thing we make, typically, because the audience for it in the USA is small at best.

Sir Lemming posted:A Roger Rabbit sequel seems doomed to failure because the first movie wasn't really beloved for its characters or plot; it was beloved for what it was, as a whole. Using the same characters in another movie, or continuing the story, is kind of missing the point. All I can think of that a new movie would bring to the table is a) new cameos or b) needless additional backstory about Toontown. Plus the third and most likely option: references to the first movie. Or just... tell another story with the same general idea, and carry over a few characters from the first to keep it connected? WFRR's premise, of cartoons being "another Hollywood" living beneath the surface of live human Hollywood, is pretty ripe for exploration.

I would actually be really okay with them doing a CGI Bob Hoskins Eddie Valiant as long as they do something with it. Have the "new type of toon" cause strife in the toon community and explore that, for example. e: alternate idea: have Eddie Valiant be long dead, and establish the CGI ghouls as separate characters.

No, like, Eddie Valiant died in like '95 in a car crash or something and Roger sees a CGI Eddie walking around and goes "uh  ". That could be interesting.e: honestly, you could probably do something that's half Blade Runner, half Invasion of the Body Snatchers with this idea. Dead human stars start coming back as CGI constructs, unaware of what they are, poo poo goes bad, and Roger has to team up with the CGI ghoul of his old buddy to figure out what in the Hell is going on.

starkebn posted:Using a new WFRR to comment on the use of cgi to keep dead actor's likenesses in films could be really good. Honestly, when they mentioned the possibility of CGI Bob Hoskins, this was the most obvious place I figured they could go with it. It's pretty interesting territory for a sequel to a movie that's subtextually about how we relate to animation, and particularly how we relate to the labor behind animation.

I honestly don't know how to feel about Captain Underpants. I feel weird saying this given the title, but it really has way too much toilet humor in it; when the movie's doing jokes that aren't related to poop or farts or underwear or toilets, it is astoundingly clever, but every now and then it just abruptly stops putting in any kind of effort for a few minutes.

On an unrelated note: Fritz the Cat is a deeply unpleasant and gross movie, and I kind of loving love it the more I think about it. Most of the movie is either filler or outright horrible (the whole bit with the Nazi terrorists is just staggeringly awful to watch), but there's a surprising amount of the movie that's just straight fuckin' fire.

I wonder if this might be the real reason they canned Gigantic- they had a bad enough time with Zootopia and furries, and an almost exact repeat of that clusterfuck but with an even weirder fetish doesn't sound like something they'd be into.

yes, the takeaway from all these rapists being cast into the light is that we should bar stubborn assholes from working on things we like, or for that matter, anyone who's ever done a remotely bad thing this isn't a hollering loving insane thing to take away from this situation at all e: to be less glib, there are degrees of assholery and someone being kind of a stubborn dick is a really, really stupid reason to cancel them compared to the people who have actually done horrible things
