Seems weird to write off all children’s media ever when you want to be an animation professional and/or care about animation at all Actually thinking back to the general level of enthusiasm she had in her classes she probably didn’t give a poo poo whatsoever, rip, oh well I got a science degree instead

I'm just imagining an animation teacher who has never seen a Disney movie in their life but happily recommends to Son of the White Mare to anyone who asks.

Off the subject, we have our first trailer for the He-Man reboot (which drops September 16): https://youtube.com/watch?v=ZXApnj-ztIE According to someone on He-Man.org it appears the armored girl is a gender flipped Ram Man. It also seems like they might just be merging Teela and the Sorceress into one character and that’s who the yellow eyed girl is (alternatively, they’re leaning hard into the fact that the Sorceress is Teela’s mom and just making her a magic user in this series as well). Also do we have a cast list for this yet? Some of the voices sound kind of familiar to me (I wanna say that’s Antony Del Rio as Man-At-Arms but I’m not sure).

I quite like the visuals in that. I also really liked the hand drawn special effects whenever attacks or magic or whatever was happening. But also, the way the art style is, it made me want to play the video game version of that more than watch the show  All of the weapons look like they'd be fun to use.So what's the deal with this and the other he-man. Are there two totally different studios that made two totally different He-Mans at the same time by coincidence, or is there some given reason why they did two versions of He-Man? I'm curious how this happened.

No idea why they decided to do two shows but they’re made by completely different studios and have nothing to do with one another. Revelation is a pseudo-sequel made by Kevin Smith that will continue next year while this is a full fledged reboot ala the Netflix She-Ra series handled by Mattel Television with a group called House of Cool doing the animation work (also the former is just a miniseries while this seems like it’ll be more of a full fledged multi-season show) More info on the latter: https://www.cbr.com/he-man-masters-of-the-universe-trailer Larryb fucked around with this message at 16:08 on Aug 19, 2021 |

House of Cool is responsible for the pre-production and/or animation? Hahahaha Hahahahahahahahaha Good luck, is all I can say. The show looks good but the crew is probably having a real bad time. Ccs fucked around with this message at 17:15 on Aug 19, 2021 |

Larryb posted:Not that familiar with this studio, what’s wrong with them? They're a bit notorious for grabbing the most talented people from Sheridan, working them like dogs for a few years before they have enough experience to go to one of the American studios, and then repeating the process. They're a pre-production studio so the actual animation will be done elsewhere, probably Bardel or Mainframe in Vancouver, but HOC tends to obscure which studios they subcontract for the actual animation so they can take the credit themselves.

Yeah, that’s kind of my feeling as well. The visuals look more like cutscenes in a video game than they do an actual animated series.

The fact that it looks like a video game cinematic, which on average has a massively higher budget per minute than an animated series, is actually a really good sign. Like, if this was your average CG animated series you'd expect something like Slugterra level animation. Even that Dreamworks Tales of Arcadia series on Netflix doesn't move this well or have such nice lighting.

Yeah, aside from some issues with the visual style I personally feel there’s enough interesting stuff here for me to at least give the show a fair shot (pretty solid voice cast it would seem as well) Also Robo Orko is amazing

Would you believe the burping, singing gargoyles are actually in line with the animistic, living stone theme of the hunchback of notre dame. Frollo calls quasimodo stupid for having imaginary rock friends in front of a couple wide-eyed religious icon statues. Then the church kills him. Whenever there is a statue or part of a building in that movie, it is alive!

Did I miss the posting about Monsters at Work? We just finished the first episode and it seems pretty fun, if maybe a bit unambitious. The character designs are still great; Mindy Kaling's slightly-more-vertical version of Charlie Day's monster is a delight.

I went through the existing episodes with my kids for the first time this week when everyone was sick. And again and again and again. It's pretty good, I like the various logical ways it picks up where the first movie left off. For some reason I feel like this week's episode was insufferable though. Just seemed overly noisy and pointless. Kids didn't seem to like it either.

There's a scene in the beginning that actually works really well because the first half is a looney tune that turns seriously about of the ugliness of people. I haven't read the book and I think once I do I will like the film less. But it appears at least to be "semiotically" engaged with the religious icons and art and so forth

Also pretty lol that I'm fairly sure Gargoyles was originally pitched as a Hunchback spinoff, since making animated series spinoffs to their movies was The Style At The Time to Disney for quite a while.

FilthyImp posted:The 1994 Cartoon series with a head writer who planned for 5 seasons + spinoffs and had nothing tying it to the property was pitched as a spinoff to the 1996 Film? In that case I'm amazed that the Disney properties both involving talking gargoyles apparently had nothing to do with each other. For context, I grew up greatly enjoying The Mighty Ducks animated series.

Watched the Loud House movie. I didn't hate it but most of my complaints with the show are still there. It's got a good visual aesthetic and some fun ideas but it's all wasted on aggressively mediocre writing that never really stops to think about anything it's doing too deeply. It's not offensively bad but drat do some of the decisions made baffle me. Like, why do the ancestors look exactly like the modern family? And for that matter why are they the exact same age they were when they left Scotland? Did they not live entire lives in the states after the flashback ended? Also was magic a thing in this show before? Why are we suddenly dealing with dragons and magic gems? There's *lots* of stuff like that which might bug you if you focus on it for too long. That said, If you can get past that kind of thing there's some nice moments in there as well so idk maybe you'll enjoy it.

A lot of Disney cartoon spinoff stuff in the 90s was fun like that, various takes on pulp adventure as well as clearly trying to compete with other shows. (see the above Gargoyles vs BTAS, and Mighty Ducks being a particularly ridiculous TMNT riff combined with a sports toon, As Was The Style At The Time)
