There's a whole era of XTREME cartoons with wildly mixed results, given Extreme Ghostbusters was actually pretty good, and Batman Beyond was great.

Gi Joe EXTREME was loving dire, like pure distilled Liefeldium. I dare anyone to find something worse.

And the Mummies Alive reminded me that Mutant League actually had a cartoon, and I'm surprised how much violence they were able to get away with by going 'lol not human'.

I beat that level as a kid. Never underestimate childhood persistence, reflexes, and ample summer vacation free time. I quit right after that, though, upon realizing the rest of the game was going to be as much of a slog.

Out of curiosity, how was the IRL Mighty Ducks team popular enough to get both their own set of movies and an unrelated cartoon show?

The team was named after the movie, as I recall, not vice versa.

FilthyImp posted:Lol. Nothing says Eisner like all the paint fading from facades and being layered in dirt because "Why spend $5 on that no one sees it or cares!" That's the bad Late Eisner Era (LEE). Early Eisner Era (EEE) and Mid Eisner Era (MEE) gave us new parks and attractions around the world, Disney Quest, the Disney Channel 90s cartoons, Disney sports teams, Disney cruise ships, and the second golden age of animation.

There's a marked decline as Eisner goes all Robespierre and begins purging his inner circle. Of course, the initial blow was the death of Frank Wells.

Sounds like there's an unfortunate turn from 'Let's actually capitalise on all this IP we have laying around that people can't get enough of' to 'I want the maximum money for minimum effort'.

That's kinda the point, yes. At least The Lion King 2 followed up ripping off Hamlet (and Kimba) with ripping off Romeo and Juliet. And then the Lion King 1.5 ripped off Rozencrantz and Gildenstern Are Dead.
