I like a lot about Amphibia, but it's also really relaxing. The general aesthetics of a lot of rounded shapes and soft, desaturated colors with an emphasis on blues and greens is just really pleasant, along with the acoustic music, where every episode ends with some soft and calm end credits. But also in the plot structure in general usually makes sure to have a good amount of falling action to decompress the tension of the episode. The first season finale is a great example of that, because after the climax of Anne fighting Sasha, you have a slower moment with slower music to redirect the feelings of that scene, and then another scene after that where Anne and the Plantars decompress and talk about what just happened. Even in the normal episodes, there's usually a few moments after the resolution of the episode to show people being okay and getting along after the day's adventure.

And a really loving lovely human being in general, I dunno.

For those that wish to know: It's completely unironic. That specific comic is from a webcomic a guy made while going to school to get a law degree. So there's lots of other comics depicting both his love of children's cartoons and his belief in conservative principles. He's a lawyer now, I guess.

Tress should be no problem though I’m not sure about the rest of the cast. Plucky and Hampton will definitely need to be replaced at least as their original actors are no longer with us.

I guess if they got Steven Spielberg to give the okay on bringing back one of the cartoons he was involved in, might as well get the other two. I would've expected them to maybe wait and see how Animaniacs is received first though. I wonder if any of this is the result of AT&T buying Time Warner and executives being shifted around, or maybe looking for an easy money source to make their purchase worth it. I feel like they'd have to do a lot more figuring out with Tiny Toons, because so much of Tiny Toons was sort of at the end point of a lot of stylistic evolution of Looney Tunes getting more abstract and self-referential. A lot of the joke of Acme Looniversity is directly referencing a stereotype of cartoons that hasn't really existed for a while, and visually, whenever I look back at the Tiny Toons character designs, I'm struck by how they've gotten very far away from looking anything like a real-world rabbits or like humans, they've gone in very hard on the perpendicular elongated ovals for faces. Like if you look at that evolution of Bugs Bunny picture:  The Tiny Toons are a further extrapolation of the stylistic exaggeration of Bugs in the 90s (that you'll see the more recent revivals of Looney Tunes stepped away from because it looked kinda weird). I think it looks even more exaggerated from the way that they squash down the rest of the body so that their cheek-oval is wider than the rest of their body, and with the bunnies, their cheeks are almost as wide as their torso is tall. It looks especially weird side-on.

It looks like she was just a small girl with a cartoonishly large head. But then her legs just keep going way past her dress. She can't even touch her knees. Maybe she's on stilts? The more I think about it the weirder it looks. It's like Tartakovsky came in at the last minute and demanded her to be taller, while the artist didn't want to redraw anything. cant cook creole bream fucked around with this message at 00:01 on Oct 29, 2020 |

Well that looks like an artistic drawing and not an actual frame, the real product almost certainly won't have those lovely calligraphy-style line strokes, that's not practical for animation.

Speaking as someone who devoured Tiny Toons back in the day... I don't feel like it was good enough to warrant a revival (and/or the nostalgia people have for it). That said if they keep to the original premise and they're being taught by the original Looney Tunes somebody should make a crack about Bugs' ugly rear end new/old yellow gloves.

they should change acmeuniveristy to a proper university instead of what was the middle school in the original. and have all the "kids" be college grads that graduated into a market that doesnt want their flavor of cartoonmanship.

PhazonLink posted:they should change acmeuniveristy to a proper university instead of what was the middle school in the original. It's also established in-universe that toons who are forgotten about by the audience slowly grow older and die, so it would be kind of funny if they played to that premise and they came back and everyone is in their 30s or 40s for the first minute of the show because it's been like 20 years since anyone has actually given a solid gently caress about Tiny Toons

Elmyra was a weird character, like she was written like a six year old most of the time yet apparently according some official character profiles she's supposed to be 13 like most of the other main characters who were in the 12 to 14 age range
