the Tangled series is also gonna be 2D

disney's tv cartoons in general are 2D, not 3D

The majority of the Big Hero 6 cast will reprise their roles in the series coming to Disney XD next year, with Khary Payton (Cyborg) replacing Damon Wayans as Wasabi and Brooks Wheelan (a standup who was on SNL from 13-14) relacing TJ Miller as Fred.

I'm not shocked at all that this is being made, but I'm honestly surprised that it took this long for Disney/Marvel to make it. They're usually pretty quick to capitalize on hit films.

Disney also really cooled its heels on putting out spinoff shows of its movies. The last one I can remember was Emperor's New School. Apparently there's also a Tangled show coming out next year.

I know, I'm just comparing it to other recent Disney cartoons like Avengers Assemble or Guardians of the Galaxy which both popped out pilots within a year of their movies coming out. Granted, I guess Big Hero 6 wasn't a traditional Marvel Cinematic Universe flick, and yeah its competition at the Oscars that year was weak, but still, it was an Oscar-winning movie and it's taken 2 years to even announce that a series was happening. Just weird is all.


e: heh, my phone's autocorrect originally said "AA and GOTG both pooped out pilots within a year of their movies coming out", which given the quality of those shows, isn't an entirely incorrect statement :rimshot:

Woo!
That can be explained by them knowing the movie is coming out, knowing that a bunch of their other movies have been successful, and just wanting to do more of the same. I mean, it featured Falcon, who's nothing like the Falcon in Cap: Winter Soldier.

The pre-production and production of Avengers Assemble probably was going on while season 2 of Earth's Mightiest (maybe even season 1, which is why they knew they were getting the axe, and gave us the Galactus episodes) was airing/still in production. There was a pretty noticeable production value drop in Season 2 of Earth's Mightiest.

Movie production takes longer, they probably had a better idea with Guardian's of the Galaxy, to get the look down with the concept art and story mostly in place, and already being filmed.

Yeah, there was also a GOTG cameo in that Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon before the movie came out, and the characters look way different from the proper show.

i'm not sure if you're trying to call the creator an uncle tom for all the tacos and day of the dead and whatever, but if the creator was white he wouldn't have a valid authentic life experience to draw from... you would know. I think everyone would know immediately. it's an academic thought exercise, though, because a white creator isnt even a given to care about non-white representation in the first place (although the younger generation of artists growing up seem to be a lot more aware of the world outside their bubble at least, compared to the generation before them)

They spent a bunch of money on the Tron cartoon, the fact that nobody really saw it is why they haven't bothered since then.

As a mexican I just didn't like all the stereotypical stuff, you don't need to mention tacos every few minutes... unless the joke is "these guys are mexican".

Nothing in the show features any of this "authentic life experience". Maybe the aunt/grandma character is somewhat authentic, the rest though is all made up cartoon poo poo.

The fact that they were tacos de adobada most of the time made it good enough for me. I agree it's a bit overt, but getting saved by giving a recipe was nice.

That said, Infinity Train is the better short, though i'd like both to get picked up.

I'm not seeing the Uncle Tom parallel but just because you're hispanic doesn't mean you automatically are well versed in the noble culture of pinatas, tacos and dio de los muertos - likewise, a white guy growing up in Mexico would probably have a more authentic idea of what everyday mexican life was. All I'm saying is that the only thing keeping everyone from writing this off as an offensive stereotype is the fact that the guy who made this is called Diego.

well, maybe I hosed up in my observation. I just think that if someone grew up celebrating dia de los muertos, running a food stand, w/e, they shouldn't be made to feel bad for putting it in their cartoon even if it skirts close to a token checklist. I don't know the creator but I doubt that he would put things into his own pilot that he didn't have a personal relationship with. pilots are pretty much an artist laying it all out on the table and either sinking or swimming, and Cartoon Network is very hands off in letting artists tell their own story and not saying "it has to have -this- and it has to be like -this-".

i'm the fragile idiot not wanting anyone's perspective to be invalid on any side :(

(also disney literally tried to trademark 'dia de los muertos' a couple of years ago because they thought they were big enough to get away with it. so at this point i'm always on board with someone wanting to draw on that if it was legitimately a part of their life/family/history. i still cant loving believe Disney tried to trademark it)

Huh, I didn't know Chowder got hosed over, but then I forgot it aired during that era when CN was trying to be some bizarre Nick-esque reality-driven network.

Maybe Greenblatt should go back to CN now that they're back in the business of, you know, cartoons.
