I forgot about merchandise. At least animated movies and movies in general get merchandise often mainly Disney and Universal and sometimes from smaller outlets like Guillermo Del Toro’s Pinocchio. If cartoons on cable in particular get low viewership, airtime and no merchandise that’s a one-two...
If you can’t beat em, join em.
Hulu has some purged Cartoon Network shows. They also have shows from Max but only with the Max bundle. You might as well just put Max’s kids shows on Hulu instead. Even Universal has put cartoons simultaneously on Hulu and Peacock and made shows for Netflix and...
Midway through the 2020’s the overall animation has been struggling on linear TV, streaming, and theatrically. On cable, networks air only a couple shows in marathons with many other shows getting short lived and get barely aired, on streaming shows have lengthy hiatuses and shows and films made...
In the early 2010’s before Nintendo released the Switch, their handheld was the 3DS and their console was the Wii U. Their previous systems were the DS and Wii in the late 2000’s were a huge success and would become Nintendo’s best selling handheld and console up to that point. In part due to...
Yeah I haven’t been into Barney since I was a baby but I tend to like preschool/educational cartoons if they are really good. This is one of many reboots of PBS Kids shows along with Caillou but most of these reboots got put on other networks while PBS opts to air original cartoons instead and...
Which decade of Cartoon Network was better? The 2000s or the 2010s? I’ve seen some debate, and they are more divisive decades of CN than the 90s when they started but still considered better than the current decade. I’ve seen people prefer the 2000s or the 2010s. I’ll go over the pros and cons...
My thoughts on Kids/Cartoon blocks on broadcast networks in the 2000’s:
Kids WB was the best kids block on broadcast, it had the best mix of American/Japanese cartoons with Batman Beyond, Superman, Animaniacs, Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Men in Black, Jackie Chan Adventures, Xiaolin Showdown, What’s...
The demise of Universal Kids was inevitable. When the channel started as Sprout in 2005 I mostly only liked the early years. The Sprout channel was originally a cable spin-off of PBS Kids and had a lot of reruns of their shows except older skewing ones like Arthur and Cyberchase. I can’t stand...
Dragon Ball, Naruto, Avatar: TLA, and Demon Slayer are pretty good action cartoons but One Piece and Fairy Tail are even better. One Piece and Fairy Tail have more fantastical themes and better more interesting worldbuilding and overall are great animated alternatives to Pirates of the Caribbean...
The weird designs of PearPhones in Dan Schneider’s shows. They are said to be shaped like pears but alternatively they could also be shaped like feet without the toes.
I miss Close Enough but Regular Show has been one of my favorite Cartoon Network shows. I get that it had the perfect ending but I’m interested as JG Quintel is returning. I would like it to take place during the 25 year timeskip shown during the ending that shows Mordecai and Rigby after their...
I used to be all about comedies movies and shows including crude/sadist comedies and pretty much any kind of short form comedy. Stuff like Family Guy, Catdog, Robot Chicken and Dan Schneider’s kidcoms. These types of shows have largely fallen out of my favor as now I crave action-adventure...
