    Unconventional or unpopular opinions you have (re: animation)

    The Pokémon Sun and Moon anime is visually the best of the lot. I love just how expressive everyone was and how fluid the animation became, without going overboard like post-sequel SpongeBob. I... just plain don't like The Loud House at all. To me, it's just bland, predictable, and relies mostly...

    The Mistreatment Of Daffy Duck

    I feel like part of it was that Friz Freleng wasn't particularly fond of Porky, but needed someone to pair Daffy with. Incidentally, "Cracked Quack" was the last Porky cartoon he ever directed.

    Favorite Elmer Fudd director?

    Chuck Jones' Elmer Fudd is the golden standard. Tex Avery may have created the character, but Jones codified him. Friz Freleng did some great things with Elmer, too; he actively worked to make Elmer somewhat nastier and less pathetic to make him a better foil for Bugs ("Hare Brush," "Robot...

    Favorite Bugs Bunny shorts director?

    Difficult to choose. Bob Clampett and Tex Avery portrayed him as a borderline villain protagonist, and to be honest I'm totally on board with that characterisation. Chuck Jones and Friz Freleng's Bugs cartoons are just plain iconic. Jones' Bugs/Elmer shorts are the best of the lot, and Freleng...

    Favorite Daffy Duck shorts director?

    Robert McKimson excelled at reconciling Bob Clampett's older, wackier Daffy with Chuck Jones' greedy and narcissistic Daffy. This was a huge bonus for who was already the most versatile character in the franchise, managing to make two radically different personalities convincingly belong to a...

    What anime have you been watching?

    The last new anime I watched was Laid-Back Camp. Got up to Season 2, love it so far. I'll get to the movie + Season 3 once I have the money to resubscribe to Crunchyroll.

    Nick v Disney

    I would say Disney. The last Nick show I really liked (aside from Glitch Techs, which got shunted to Netflix for some reason) was Harvey Beaks. The Owl House quickly became my favourite show ever, and I love Gravity Falls, Amphibia, Milo Murphy's Law, Phineas & Ferb, and Big City Greens as...

    Best CN show?

    Steven Universe, Adventure Time, Regular Show, The Amazing World of Gumball, Infinity Train, you really can't lose with these.

    Your personal cartoon “Mandela Effects”

    I could have sworn I remembered some Cartoon Network bumpers from when I was very little (likely 2009-2010). There was a black background on all of them, and it had (I think) chimpanzees playing video games. The one I remembered had them tell the old joke about why you can't play hide-and-seek...

    Thoughts on each Looney Tunes classic era composer?

    Carl Stalling and Milt Franklyn are easy picks. While the Golden Age had great composers in general, the only composer who could really rival them in quality was Scott Bradley. Bernard Brown and Norman Spencer were very good composers, though a little more pedestrian than Stalling. Same goes...

    What are your thoughts on DePatie Freleng Enterprises' theatrical shorts?

    IMO, DePatie-Freleng's original (i.e. non-Looney Tunes) work, particularly their earlier stuff, is pretty good. The Pink Panther was obviously the best of the bunch, but the few Inspector or Roland & Rattfink cartoons I've seen were solid. They were probably the last good theatrical cartoon...

    When did Walter Lantz Productions start to go downhill? What was their quality peak age?

    I'd say they began going downhill around 1955, but I'd say they still had some decent cartoons until the mid-60s, around the time Paul J. Smith became the studio's sole director and longtime composer Clarence Wheeler died). The studio's peak was 1944 to 1949, when Shamus Culhane and especially...

    "K Pop Demon Hunters (Sony/Netfix)" Animated Feature Talkback (Spoilers)

    Watched it this morning, absolutely loved it. Despite the somewhat strange premise, it actually manages to mix both the K-Pop and the demon hunting really well.

    Favorite Robert McKimson writer in the classic Looney Tunes era?

    Warren Foster, although Sid Marcus and Tedd Pierce got some great work in too.
