^^^ this, it's an underrated gem. I agree that animation fluidity is going to be a serious issue, even if by some miracle everything else is right. I know goons hate the pony show but it seriously has some of the best Flash animation I've seen on a TV series budget/timeline. That would have to be the bare minimum Animaniacs shoot for. People would lose their loving poo poo if they had that stiff janky marionette look cheaper Flash animation can have. Also all of this is cool but where the gently caress is my Duckman reboot

extra row of teeth posted:That being said, this nostalgia cartoon trip of new Rocko and new Animaniacs has my inner little girl loving screaming her head off. And a return of quality shows is better than shoveling out some new but garbage idea for the sake of novelty. I too am real excited for Rocko. Animainiacs not so much, but Pinky and the Brain were pretty great. Has anyone seen the Hey Arnold! Jungle movie? I haven't and I'm trying to keep my expectations low so it doesn't disappoint me.

Animaniacs really did have a lot of stuff that absolutely would not fly today, so it will be interesting to see how they avoid that legacy.

Depends on the targeted age group. Is it gonna be for kids? For adults? For kids but with lots of *wink nudge* jokes for the adults too? Although poo poo like finger-Prince or would never fly anymore, cartoon censorship has overall gotten more lax in many aspects. If the writing is as clever as it was back in the day, they'll be fine. Honestly the scary thing would be if it had Adult Party Cartoon Syndrome where it takes it's lack of censorship and goes hog wild, raunchy or overly-violent for the sake of it.

I definitely wouldn’t want it to turn into ren and stimpy, but clearly marking a target audience is super loving important and a good marker of whether they’re gonna gently caress it up

extra row of teeth posted:I was an animation major in college so every cartoon thread summons me to nerd out about it I think the new version could be good, but even in the best case it's a cash-in before kids from the mid-90s are too old to pony up for it. I also have no idea how cultural references will fly. The landscape is so diversified and different, and the creators are that much older. What well are they going to draw from here? It's like when Futurama came back and you could see just how aged and out-of-touch the writers were from their Gen-X heydays.

mind the walrus posted:So what's your take on how the original has aged? I checked out the old episodes on Netflix and while they're certainly what I remember, the animation was way stiffer and lower-quality. The animation has stiffness issues here and there but so did EVERY show from that era. The problem is no matter how talented the in-house crew was, they still had to ship it overseas for in-betweens (the drawings between key frames. For example if you wave your arm from left to right, the hand in the left position and the hand in the right position would be the key drawings and the actual waving in between would be the inbetweens). I'm not sure how much of it is handled 100% inhouse these days thanks to digital stuff making it MUCH easier to draw, color and sync up, but there is definitely more of that happening than before the digital animation era. The QC in this era is much better too because it's easier to see flaws via digital reviewing and cel painting/color fuckups are a thing of the past. EDIT I cannot stress how much work animation is. Even digitally. Every lovely administrative/data entry job I've had has been less tedious than animation work. It is A FUCKLOAD of work and effort and that's why it's so expensive to produce.

When you think about it, besides the actual Animaniacs, Pinky and the Brain, and Scrappy Squirrel, everything else either sucked (Rita and Runt, Goodfeathers) or was just a single gag run farther into the ground than you would think possible (Chicken Boo, Katie Kaboom, Buttons and Mindy).

I remember watching that Katy Kaboom, was she the hulk-girl? And I was thinking "who is this even for?" Same with the Goodfeathers one. Its jokes about teenagers or film parody but for babies who wouldn't have a clue about those things.

Katy Kaboom was a visual gag skit for kids watching who had a teenage sister that would just melt down at the drop of a hat.
