    Animaniacs (2020) News & Discussion Thread

    Many of the shorts are just unfunny satire which was never the strongsuit of the warners. Typically the shorts would involve how much the warners irritated other characters and disrupted plots. They don't really do that anymore. Plots run smoothly and they are usually the ones mocking the other...

    Does it still make sense to use cartoons to sell toys to kids?

    I find the idea that kids aren't playing with toys past age 6 to be confusing. If this was the case then why are all those toy "review" (more akin to unboxing) channels so popular? Unless it is exclusively popular with kids aged 0-6. It also doesn't explain the enduring popularity of Lego over...

    Dramaticism: A prediction

    When you think of the 90s what is one of the first things you think of? Attitude would be one of them. The "extreme" skateboarding and in your face catch phrases. Now what about the 2000s? Well what it comes to the 2000s I tend to think of media that was dark and edgy. Emos and an overall...

    "Animaniacs (2020)" Series Talkback Thread (Spoilers)

    After some thinking on the issue I've come to realise what my issue with the removal of hello nurse is. In order to figure this out we have to deconstruct the gag that existed around the character. The joke usually consisted of the nurse walking into the scene and then followed by Yakko and...

    "Animaniacs (2020)" Series Talkback Thread (Spoilers)

    Seeing as it had two seasons ordered in 2018 I imagine it'll be released within the year. However don't expect a renewel for a season 3. During this series' production Disney bought out hulu which technically means that WB are now supplying a property for the benefit of their biggest competitor...

    "Animaniacs (2020)" Series Talkback Thread (Spoilers)

    Yes, which plays into my point of them not being appropriate to tackle something like animaniacs. Sitcom and sketch comedy are very different things. Sitcoms are reliant on the personalities of the characters and some degree of continuity and development. Something that wasn't present in the...

    "Animaniacs (2020)" Series Talkback Thread (Spoilers)

    Overall I'm not impressed. This series suffers from so many issues seen in 2010s animation that it's hard to pin point all of them. To sum up I would say that the main issue is the fact that the staff who write this are clearly way too disconnected from the influences on the original animaniacs...

    Animaniacs (2020) News & Discussion Thread

    Eh..... I like the jokes told in the trailer but this does seem a bit.... off. The animation and art direction is one particular sticking point. At times the animation seems to slow to a crawl which really does not work with the quick dialogue, slapstick, and overall fast-paced nature of...

    Animaniacs (2020) News & Discussion Thread

    One thing I am concerned about is it's release outside of the U.S. You cannot get hulu in European markets and the only real streaming service is netflix. Has there been any similar situations to this before and if so how was it handled? I would like to be able to support the reboot come next year.

    My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic - News and Discussion Thread II

    Where are you getting the Autumn date from? Only thing I've been able to find regarding the G5 movie release is the year 2021. Plus considering the fact Hasbro wants G5 in full swing by 2021 you'd imagine they'd be aiming for a release earlier in the year.

    Design for Sonic 2019 movie revealed!

    That isn't what it will look like in film. That is artwork. An actual in-film render has been leaked.

    My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic - News and Discussion Thread II

    Guess it time to come out the woodwork. I used to love this show. I watched it up until the end of season 5 and I really enjoyed it and the community that came with it. It was a nice, wholesome, fun TV show that comforted so many people and to see it go will be sad but it had to happen at some...

    What Will Be Cartoon Network's Teen Titans Go! of The 2020's!?

    Huh. It seems 2020 is already becoming a major thing to talk about. I guess because it's expected to be when the 21st century really kicks off (for better or worse) and we can no longer say it is the early 21st century. Or maybe it's because people don't like the current decade and want it over...

    Design for Sonic 2019 movie revealed!

    Then why didn't Sega pull funding? My only guess is that it was already contracted and thus they have to continue funding something that even they don't like. It kinda begs the question of why Sega didn't wait for a script pitch or some concept art before signing anything. They must be really...
