They're the pioneers of modern kids tv, and they helped revive the TV animation market in the 90s with a focus on Cartoons from creators, not Toy companies. Nick, CN, and Disney leading the pack, other companies piped up and tried to take the role of the "4th" kids network that could give the big 3 a run for their money.

Unconventional or unpopular opinions you have (re: animation) Fri, 26 Jun 2026 15:07:19 +0000 https://animesuperhero.com/forums/threads/unconventional-or-unpopular-opinions-you-have-re-animation.5787144/ 5787144 invalid@example.com (Leviathan) Leviathan Title says it all.

For Ren and Stimpy, I actually think a lot of Games episodes hold up better than a lot of the Spumco ones. Spumco episodes that aren't considered bonafide classics tend to be lethargic in their pacing, and that's something that improved when Games took over the show. Even bad Games episodes like Jerry The Bellybutton Elf and Stupid Sidekick Union are more fun to watch than episodes like The Littlest Giant or Marooned or Out West because the jokes come at a faster clip.]]>

This is a couple months old but Bill Plympton's Hair High (2004) came to Blu-ray in April, courtesy of Deaf Crocodile Films. I never saw it before so I bought it recently. Bottom line: It's what you'll expect from a Plympton film- okay, let me rephrase that, you NEVER know quite what to expect from a Plympton film, but it has his signature art style and doesn't deviate from it too much like, say, Revengeance did.
