Thank you, I needed that after this week.

So Pokemon Co. just released a Golden Age of Animation style short (Disney, Looney Toons, Fleisher, Tom and Jerry, et al). Not a 100% perfect in style, but more faithful that I would have imagined. The only thing that bugs me is having Zuruggu Scraggy as the lead, with how limited his design is in both expression and action (having to hold up his pants almost the entire time). But still, really neat.

Mostly I just remember this ad from when I was tiny:

Point is though, you don't need to cram it into an existing title, all you need is to put it in front of some random word and it becomes evocative as gently caress.

I tried to use itunes but it crashed or something, it can see the series on the menus but clicking on it just goes to a blank selection.

It looks like this when browsing animation:

You could always try YouTube. Some episodes were uploaded in two minute snippets. Not sure how legal that is, though.

Man, new Loony Tunes is baaaaaaad. It cycles in and out of pretty fluid animation and looking incredibly cheap--objects, characters, and backgrounds are often lacking in a consistency of design, but sometimes the shading is off. Characters sort of flop around, but there isn't the figure drawing fundamentals that make old Loony Tunes actually look good. They don't really understand the violence of the originals. It's more inspired by Itchy and Scratchy than actual Loony Tunes. The characterizations are very off. The whole gag with Bugs is that he's a Mickey Mouse-ish mascot character who is a bit of wise cracker and doesn't even take his own cartoons that seriously. Bugs is insane in these cartoons.

I don't even mind the recent Loony Tunes Show, but this is attempting at recapturing something and missing the mark hard.

I'm also bummed that just like with Disney+'s shorts there isn't better curation on HBOMax of the old Loony Tunes.

IIRC, Bugs is actually a throwback to his original depictions. Pretty much all the famous toons have had different personalities over the years.

Yeah, the HBOMax series sticks very close to the 1940's depictions of the characters. I imagine a lot of people aren't as familiar with those shorts since back in the day those would air on cable while networks like ABC and Kids WB usually only ran stuff from the 50's and 60's.

Timeless Appeal

I'm sorry but hard disagree from what I've seen so far. It's not that I don't get what they're going for, it just seems like an unpleasant facsimile of versions of the characters that only existed for like a couple of years. Like the Bugs screaming thing is something that comes up in the older cartoons, but seems overused in the new ones. But it also is kind of jumbled in terms of them trying to reflect that early 40s style while also having the Roadrunner.

An American Tail: Fievel Goes West
A Cat In Paris
Dragon Quest: Your Story
Enchanted
Fritz the Cat
Happy Feet

A Silent Voice
Spies in Disguise

I watched Felix the cat movie earlier today since the last time I saw it I was a kid.

What a god awful movie that was, a mess of a plot, characters designs that clash and its like they dropped Felix into the backdrop of an endgame Final Fantasy dungeon.

I had that movie as a kid and watched it a lot, and even then I knew it was, at minimum, extremely loving strange. Felix and the Princess is foreshadowing for Sonic 2016

Who is the Boss is a radical number tho

So 80’s

Edit: wait according to Wikipedia the movie is American-German-Hungarian-Polish-Bulgarian-Canadian

That’s the most countries I’ve ever seen listed in a Wikipedia movie article.

I used to rent it quite often and I loved how bugfuck crazy it was, complete with the sexy princess in captivity dance and D&D Vader huffing and wheezing through it.

I honestly dig the music for the sequence, but yeah the movie was such a mess, I know someone I think in an older iteration of this megathread joked all the budget went to the CGI Felix in the credits.

I really like Alessia Cara's music so I'm really excited to see this.

I don't know anything about it except she's in it and the little clip that Netflix had has her singing and I'm all for it.

Even if it turns out that that's the only song in the movie, I don't care as it was still really nice.

Oh I've seen Enchanted before a few times, I love it too. Amy Adams is great and every few months I get that song "That's How You Know" from the Central Park scene stuck in my head. What a joyful film :h:

Spies in Disguise was pretty decent! Lots of clever spy gadget ideas and funny gags with the weird flock of pigeons that join them. I hope they make a sequel someday.

Enchanted was cute, though I'm with most people that thought the Queen should've loving shut up once she became a dragon, it made her way less menacing with how much she was yammering on.

My main problem with Spies in Disguise was that it built up an interesting idea for the villain then kinda pulled back a little to make it less impactful. I was expecting him to have been a civillian harmed by the crossfire between the backstory badguy and Will Smith, but he was just a henchman that got permanently maimed

It's so clearly where that film was going that I definitely feel it was a decision that came from Powers That Be to walk it back.

It reminded me a lot of the animated film 9, where the obvious ending... didn't happen in lieu of a less powerful one that made less sense?

I mean Spies in Disguise spends SO much time talking about and cutting to pay specific attention to the civilian consequences of military action that my brain loving subs in what the original nature of the villain clearly was.



*and this does happen, Tai Lung for example was re-written late in Kung Fu Panda to be more evil because the original version they tested, people loving agreed with him lmao. like, not just edgy teens liking scar, normal people thought what had happened to o.g. tai lung was hosed.
