By this point I think the most we will get is a flash forward series finale.

Beartaco posted:Do you think this show would ever age up its characters? I think a lot of animated shows recently have moved away from the ageless family formula and now it feels to me like a relic from the Simpsons heyday. What animated shows have aged their characters? I always see people griping about Bob's for this, but I can't think of any show that did it- Simpsons, Family Guy, Peanuts, Flintstones, Jetsons, Scooby Doo, Rick and Morty? I see that them say that they are going to age the characters on Big Mouth but they havent really done it yet. South Park they have gone up 2 grades but going from 3rd to 5th grade or whatever is barely a diffrrence. Bobby on King of the Hill aged from 11 to 13 apparently which is barely a change and I dont think he looks any different. For Bob's, if Tina goes to 9th grade she has to change schools, and they have a lot of plots based on all the kids going to Wagstaff.

The kids on Big Mouth do age, just very slowly. They started in seventh grade and for the first three seasons then season 4-5 was the summer between 7th and 8th grade and 8th grade.

We’re gonna age the characters! That means the character sheets and references all need to be updated before next season. Never mind!

What's character sheets? I figured the big impediment would be having to remodel all the characters

The reference images they use for how the characters look/move/whatever. Pretty much what you are saying. Any time I have been on a project where they wanted to revise the character sheets or equivalent, they realized that that poo poo isn’t free and it gets shut down real fuckin’ quick. I don’t think I know anyone that is working at or has worked at Bento Box, but I would guess a leading factor in keeping Bob on the air is that it is cheap for what it is.

Would it be cheaper with computers or is that cost already factored in ahead of time

Still gotta pay for some sad sack to do the work, then a string of managers to tweak the ever-loving poo poo outta the most minor details, then run THAT up the flagpole to the showrunners/whoever is broadcasting the show.

The movie trailer is airing during the playoff game tonight. There's also finally been a description about what the plot is going to be:quote:The story begins when a ruptured water main creates an enormous sinkhole right in front of Bob's Burgers, blocking the entrance indefinitely and ruining the Belchers' plans for a successful summer. While Bob and Linda struggle to keep the business afloat, the kids try to solve a mystery that could save their family's restaurant. As the dangers mount, these underdogs help each other find hope and fight to get back behind the counter, where they belong

That's fascinating. Why is it they can do it for fantasy sequence episodes and such, but not permanently? Is it just a matter of one episode only requiring so many poses and such? Edit: Whoops!

Not having a Well or trust set up for your adolescent children? There must be a word for people like Bob & Linda. Oh wait, they're is: working-class. (Not saying you're looking down on us mortals from your bourgeois castle, but just pointing out that most people don't have that stuff set up before middle-age when they're healthy, have young children, and aren't wealthy.)

A more important issue would be custody of the kids. Bob's dad? Linda's parents? Gayle? Teddy? All terrible choices.

13: Frigate Me Knot Linda encourages Teddy to attend a farewell ceremony for the ship on which he served in the Navy, but it means confronting his Navy pals and his past. Someone put this on YouTube four hours ago, they made it 39 minutes to avoid the DMCA bots.

Haven't finished it yet but Teddy falling in twice was the biggest laugh the show's gotten from me in a long while. Also he seriously needed to lighten up, I'm surprised he survived the navy at all if he's gonna act that way about something so objectively funny

I guess I never thought about it but this episode means Teddy is quite a bit older than Bob. Serving 30 years ago and being older than 18 means he's at least 50. While Bob is probably in his mid 30s.

The ship being decommissioned did exist although it wasn’t named USS Gertrude Stein. It also hasn’t existed since the 1970s.

Ballz posted:The ship being decommissioned did exist although it wasn’t named USS Gertrude Stein. It also hasn’t existed since the 1970s. There was a lot of freeze-framing and nerding out by me (and my wife forced to endure it). Now it's your turn! USS Gertrude Stein was very lovingly modeled on an Oliver Hazard Perry-class guided missile frigate, though they did make the aesthetic choice to replace the original's missile launcher forward with a gun mount. There's nothing there at the ceremony except a blank deck, which is in keeping with Loise's statement, and reasonable pre-SINKEX prep. (It remains unclear why the Phalanx CIWS was allowed to remain) The hull number, as was noted, is from an earlier class of ship. There was a real USS Stein (not Gertrude), a Knox-class destroyer escort reclassified as a frigate in 1975, when the USN gave up and went with the European system. Teddy's plankowner hat still saying DE-1025 instead of FF-1025 implies that he served in the early Seventies, unless those caps weren't originals, but deliberately made retro-style. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

That's really cool. I always enjoy how detailed the animation is, like when they depict musical instruments its not just a generic instrument the details are all there. Or the stunt planes, or the detail of old houses like Fischoeder's or the old house on Kingshead they pretended to want to buy.

I liked the ferry episode a lot. I kept going back and forth on whether or not I liked that they left the will they/won't they (be the power couple) unresolved. It felt like it was maybe a cop out but I think it was deserved in the end. I did love that the farmer had them do an RPG quest at one point before they could proceed.
