One of the main criticisms of the first season was the pacing, but we have an even larger cast of characters for the next season....feels like they are still making same mistake. I just rewatched Wolverine and the X-Men again, it managed to do a lot more with small cast, and had far more...

The Garfield movie didn't even feel like Garfield, and was too modernised, so I have very low hopes. The fact they changed Garfield's voice actor again is a bad sign too, for keeping Garfield consistent with comics.

I couldn't agree more, we need more fresh series, with new ideas. If you aren't into comedies, it is a struggle to find new content. I really enjoyed Amphibia, and Owl House from Disney, but the later suffered too much due to the shorted last season. I was really surprised by Wolfboy and the...

Free to air TV is more common in Australia though, and kids programming died long ago now. With the death of Saturday Disney, Kids WB, and finally Toasted TV. The ABC is a joke now, it used to offer more unique and obscure cartoon series from around the world, but is mainly streaming content...

Did season 2 seem a lot worse story wise, or was it just me? adding Patches to the main cast, more single character stories, and stories that seem more random. I like the dynamic between the main three characters more in the first season, with the focus on spooky stories.

DuckTales was a reboot, so I would class that more as an attempt at a shared universe (like Scoob) Does a Kingdom Heart cartoon series exist? Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated and Be Cool Scooby Doo were different, but are getting old now. Both were weaker in the mystery department (less focus on...

The others franchises aren't relying completely on cross-overs though, which is destroying the franchise. Tom & Jerry would be closest, but only on the DTV side. All the others are still doing new projects, even if they tend to re-use the same characters too much (super heroes wise).

Scooby-Doo needs a long break, they ran out of good ideas long ago. Warner Bros have been relying on cross-overs (celebrities, other cartoon series, Lego) for far too long, and their attempts at sequels were even worse.

Return of the Planet of the Apes and Star Trek: TAS were really good for that era. Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle is worth mentioning too, although the stories felt more science-fiction, rather than suited to the jungle. Add Battle of the Planets and Star Blazers, if you include American adaptions...

The creator actually presented the screening I went to, and did mention it was about learning to work together, but I found the actual trailer rather misleading for that content. Yes, world building in general always help, and the ending sure could have used more explanation, in terms of water...

I couldn't disagree more, if you can't at least keep the existing lore (remake) or story (new adaption), then don't even bother. I'm tired of writers who think they know better than the original material, or characters just getting twisted. The main reason I went off the DC animated movies is...

Animation must be really going down hill, if this movie managed to win. I saw the movie early via local international film festival, and it is nothing like the trailer (wild animals having to work together to survive). The movie is basically animal antics at best, using more domesticated...

Actually was available, since it got two DVD releases, unlike the later seasons. A DVD release in the UK in the past, and a recent DVD release in South Korea (NTSC, with English audio)

Getting a bit off topic, but paid streaming in Australia is far more limited, only two global services (Disney+, Paramount+) for western cartoons. All content from other companies is split around different services, or not available at all. Content from Warner Bros. for example is usually...

No, it isn't too much to ask for the cartoon series to be presented as they were original produced and broadcast, rather than dumped in any flawed format, with no other options. I would be happy to pay for streaming or buy on physical media anywhere worldwide, if that was an option. The DVD...
