I appreciate the new stuff trying to make Velma, Fred and Daphne into actual characters, but I still don't like looking at Scooby and his awful face They designed scooby doo by looking in the dog show manual for the best Great Dane then making him the opposite in every category. That is why he has a weird hump back in early series

Compare and contrast two direct to video spinoff/spiritual sequels from almost the same time: Bartok the Magnificent (1999) - poo poo, but memorable - kinda catchy songs - hilarious transformation fetish musical number - pops with colour in every frame - pretty good vocal performances across the board even though I hate Hank Azaria’s shtick - Tim Curry is a giant skull doorway that asks riddles - a goddam bat and bear on an adventure to get magical artifacts for the real actual Baba Yaga so that they can uncover a plot by a wicked regent who has a voluptuous macro dragon fursona that she turns into at the end, oh and it’s also tsarist russian history Joseph: King of Dreams (2000) - competent, but boring as batshit - songs completely dull and unmemorable, I would have preferred the Andrew Lloyd Webber music - okay dream sequences I guess - mostly orange and brown colour scheme through whole movie - I couldn’t pick out any famous voices, Mark Hamill was Judah but he was phoning it in - wants to be The Prince of Egypt - lame bible poo poo, not even drawing from the good horror stuff from the bible, just a boring morality fable

I should say, putting aside character design and colour and all that, both films have pretty excellent hand drawn animation for direct to video productions.

Just got a press release about this, looks pretty neat:quote:NY/LA-based arthouse genre sales company Yellow Veil Pictures have acquired world sales rights on THE SPINE OF NIGHT from directors Philip Gelatt and Morgan Galen King and producers Will Battersby, Philip Gelatt, and Jean Rattle. The movie is set to world premiere as part of the SXSW Midnighters section, taking place virtually next month.

That is why he has a weird hump back in early series You know, that explains a lot. Great Danes are already weird looking dogs, and I think they figured that the weirder and uglier he looked, the more appealing he'd be. And it fits his personality perfectly. Schwarzwald posted:Fifties and sixties stereotypes nothin'. "Straitlaced college kids do good and solve mysteries" were Stratemeyer Syndicate cliches that were already old when Chuck Jones parodied them in The Dover Boys. At this point they're basically aspirational as young people who actually have free time and can travel as they please.

Bootleg Trunks posted:Scooby-Doo needs to bring back the pick pocket kid from the one with Vincent Price They did in the most recent 13 Ghosts movie. It was...okay I suppose? They intentionally avoided Scrappy talk at every chance they possibly could. The anti-Scrappy jokes from the crew is starting to get old. It’s like they don’t know how to do actual good character development for an old character some hated so they just poo poo-talk whenever possible. Compare that to Webby from Ducktales. Some hated her original incarnation but the reboot makes her REALLY good and she has fans now (though some probably still can’t stand her).

ThermoPhysical posted:They did in the most recent 13 Ghosts movie. Thing is that Webby is pretty much a completely different character for the most part, who has some similar roles but is in other ways pretty much inverted. (Mrs Beakley is even more different, being basically a kid-friendly grandma Brock Samson) Scrappy's main issue is that ultimately, he doesn't really work as a character or in the ensemble, and he's nowhere near popular enough to actually be worth trying to fix.

I think some of the old shows love to introduce Scooby's long-lost relatives as one-offs in one of those sitcom fashions that ends up with a hilariously large and complex family tree when you actually keep track of it. I mean, they are dogs, but still. Ghost Leviathan fucked around with this message at 13:47 on Feb 12, 2021 |

Also reminded of the Batman Brave and the Bold/Scooby-Doo crossover movie, where one of the best collaborations between them is Batman actually remembering Scooby is a talking dog, who has both a superior canine sense of smell and the ability to understand and communicate what he smells in mostly understandable words.

The movie I'm talking about actually came out way after the fact as a semi-standalone thing, though it's got the BatB versions of characters. (and just to make it confusing, it's not the first Scooby-Doo crossover even for the series)

Did anyone watch mystery incorporated where the whole series ended up being a very anime backstory for why scooby can talk? (there is interdimensional aliens that can't get to earth but during some universe conjunction thing that happens rarely can manipulate animals telepathically and mutate them, so they have been all the animalistic gods in human history, good and bad. The most evil alien made it to earth but got defeated by the other gods and put into a crystal under what became the town of crystal cove, then one of the other dog god things set up that they would watch over it forever, but since thousands of years had passed of breeding with regular dogs the descendants were just back to being mostly regular dogs again)

I watched the creeper episode of the OG show and was pretty charmed. It's a very messily held together show conceptually and has more cartoonish antics than I remember. The creeper chases them on a horse! The creeper was a banker who was stealing from the bank and dressing up as a ghoul to scare people away!!! It's real good stuff. all 20 episodes.

Darth TNT posted:Well you did give a shoutout to Fishguy and the Putty thing and thus the Mask cartoon. I have some pleasant memories attached to that. That's exactly why Eddie/Fish Guy is so dangerous - he plays on appearing pathetic with his constant whining of "Daaaaaaaaak... he's making *fun* of ME!" and whinging about not having real power, but that's just a facade he puts on so Dak/Putty Thing keeps cowtowing to him. He acts pathetic because it works. When he gets the mask he drops Dak like a bad penny and goes on a rampage solo, becoming an outright bully - because that's what Eddie IS. A bully. A manipulative little narcissist who makes people their worst selves. It worked on Dak, and it worked on the audience of children watching him, but any adult watching would notice the manipulations inherent in his actions and realise that it's a waste of pity. It's Putty Thing who'll never make anything of himself because Eddie keeps him on a bad path. Dak is the Victim. BioEnchanted fucked around with this message at 18:21 on Feb 12, 2021 |
