mobo85 posted:Having just watched the first Scooby-Doo: Mystery Inc., I'm still a bit on the fence. It reminds me of that Simpsons line where Roger Meyers is asking kids what they want to see on Itchy and Scratchy: "You want a realistic, down-to-earth show that's completely off the wall and swarming with magic robots?" You still have Scooby-Doo running around, being a goofball, and dressing in drag while solving mysteries with the kids, but at the same time the kids are looked down upon by their parents because of this nonsense they go through- mainly because the town's tourism is based around all of these fake monsters. It's an interesting idea, but it just doesn't seem to "gel" with the whole goofy, carefree image of Scooby-Doo and the gang. And for some reason there's also a black radio DJ with an afro and a guy named Mr E. who's warning them that there's a deeper mystery behind the mystery or something. And he's voiced by Lewis Black. And Shaggy's dad is voiced by Casey Kasem, which I thought was clever. And Velma and Shaggy like each other but they don't want Fred and Daphne to know. And to give the show a preemptive benefit of the doubt, pilot episodes generally suck and it takes a while for a show to find it's groove. If it ever does. Also, awesome voice actors.

Wow, that Scooby Doo show sounds pretty cool. I'll have to give it a watch. Plus, Lewis Black and a voice from the original Scooby Doo? Nice.

All my life I have always hate, hate HATED Scooby-Doo but I loved the pilot so much I went out of my way to go to a friend's house to watch the second episode. Everyone should give it a chance regardless of what you thought of past Scooby-Doo series.

Welker's been doing it for 40 years now. Even when an early episode of Family Guy did a Scooby-Doo cutaway they had him there. It's nuts. And no, Freddie Prinze Jr. doesn't count.

I'm also surprised about how well the new SD show is. However, I can't help but notice that most of the best jokes revolve around the show poking fun at itself. The running gag about how Fred is obsessed with trap-making is a great example. Don't get me wrong, it's pretty funny, but I can't imagine that going on for more than a season or two before it gets stale. If the show wants to stick around for the long run then they're going to have to mix it up. Also, while we're on the subject, CN's Monday night 7-9 line-up would be perfect if it wasn't for Johnny Test. If they could replace that with something that didn't suck then they would have a killer programming block.

I liked the Old West town that mined alligators instead of oil ("This is what happens when a civilization is founded on an entirely gator-based economy!"), even if it sounds more like something out of Adventure Time than Scooby-Doo.

You did. They even show them at the end of that commercial. Those CG shorts are going to be a separate segment. And some theatrical shorts are proving that CG Looney Tunes actually can look really good: http://www.cartoonbrew.com/cgi/looney-tunes-exclusive-clip-coyote-falls.html And yes, that's the site the SA "Animation Website" articles were poking fun at. They're notoriously biased in some aspects.

It's my understanding that only the Road Runner shorts will be CGI and the rest of the series will be traditional animation.

I don't watch Aaron Stone, but one time when I was flipping through channels I noticed that one of the villains on the show was wearing what was obviously a rubber mask. I laughed about it for a second and proceeded to flip through. I'm willing to bet that they don't get much special effects money. Edit: I didn't notice the animation for the new Looney Tunes show, but from what I've heard that most recent Looney Tunes movie was quite good, so I wouldn't give up hope on it. Another thing about the Garfield show: the animation doesn't match up to the art style of the comic strip at all. Some parts of the show have stills in the background that look like they were drawn by Jim Davis, and it's in stark contrast to the lovely CG on the show. get that OUT of my face fucked around with this message at 03:05 on Jul 24, 2010 |

Back In Action actually WAS really good, partly because Joe Dante directed it and had been a huge Looney Tunes fan forever, to the point of being friends with Chuck Jones and having him cameo in Gremlins. Sad that I was the only person I knew to see it and Space Jam was the hit instead.

Oh god there's more: quote:In the movie, an older Timmy is still in the fifth grade and living at home, but all that changes when he begins to have feelings for Tootie (Victorious' Daniella Monet), a nerdy girl who has grown into a beautiful woman and returned to town. Timmy must make a choice between his godparents or growing up and being in love. So it's a sendoff for the show AND it sounds terrible. I know the well is pretty dry for Fairly Oddparents at this point, but this just sounds really really stupid in every way.

^I agree with the "this could go either way" sentiment looking at the writing/directing team, all FOP/Nick stalwarts: Butch Hartman, Scott Fellows, "Savage" Steve Holland. (FOP head writer Steve Marmel jumped ship for Disney and Sonny with a Chance.) Nickelodeon has been announcing a lot of things lately. Besides the FOP TV-movie, they've also announced an Avatar spin-off, The Legend of Korra, and a new series from Fairly creator Butch Hartman, T.U.F.F. Puppy, about a dim-witted dog who is recruited by a secret agency and is teamed with a cat. Naturally, they don't get along, but must work together in order to stop evil.

There are some stills out for Genndy Tartakovsky's (Dexter's Lab, Samurai Jack) new cartoon: SYM-BIONIC TITAN. This poo poo looks loving amazing, from the backgrounds to the fact that the main character (who I'm assuming is the guy on the right) looks pretty much like an American Kabuto Kouji, Tartakovsky is looking to have another masterpiece on his hands.
