So apparently there's a Peter Rabbit 2 releasing this April? Unlike the first one it's not releasing under the Sony Pictures Animation label (so an inverse of what happened with the Angry Birds films)

ThermoPhysical posted:Welp. Added to the OP. I guess if this is gonna keep happening lemme comb through various studios and see what they're set to release this year that isn't already in the OP: Warner Animation Group: Tom and Jerry (December 23, 2020): Live Action/Animation hybrid Sony Pictures Animation: Wish Dragon (no release date given other than "2020", originally slated for a July 26, 2019 in China but got delayed, possible that the 2020 date might be China specific): co-production with a newly minted Chinese studio Base Animation (in fact some sources indicate it's another example of "film not produced by Sony released under the label") Disney: The One and Only Ivan (August 12th, 2020): Live Action/CGI Hybrid

Season 1 (which was produced by a different studio that later seasons) was halfway decent and apparently the change in production studios had to do with the CW merger so I can easily imagine an alternate reality where they went "gently caress it" and had the show be a 1 season wonder. Then someone who was fond of season 1 found the Monkey's Paw...

Ghost Leviathan posted:I'm sure some CN suit looks at the cost-return ratio for Jonny Test and got dollar signs despite basically any ratings it got was because it was literally 90% of what Cartoon Network showed for years. (Similar to Teen Titans Go now) cartoon network was never involved in Johnny Test's production (it was made for Kids WB initially, then some Canadian channel after the show switched studios), they just had the rights to air it in america

Pick posted:it's also really obviously a modification of a pre-existing screenplay, I literally think for an Alf reboot. a weirdly appropriate observation considering that the original writer/artist duo on the Archie Sonic comic way back in the 90s (Mike Gallagher/Dave Manak) were previously the creative team on the Marvel Alf comic in actuality apparently the script was being worked on while they were setting up other parts of production (rather than script first, everything else later) "co-writer Josh Miller in response to being asked about the reception of the original design posted:That was really weird. The whole time we were working on the script, the design had come up here and there. We weren’t getting day to day updates, we were seeing updates maybe once a month.

worth noting this is what was previously being called "The Mitchells vs the Machines" also this is being written by not just 1 but 2 Gravity Falls writers: director Mike Rianda (who wasn't just a writer on the first season, but also season 1's creative director), and the film's co-director Jeff Rowe (who was a writer on season 2 and Disenchantment)

Honestly it feels like half of Disney TV Animation's recent output has been trying to be a successor to Gravity Falls in one way or another. the Ducktales reboot, Amphibia, The Owl House, even Billy Dilley and Big City Greens (albeit in different ways than the rest) seriously most of the shows I listed have a character that could be considered the show's answer to "Grunkle Stan"

BioEnchanted posted:BTW has Mao Mao been cancelled or is it still going? It's last episode was in December. It just seems to be releasing very sparsely. nope it's just been on hiatus (the ep that came out in december was app exclusive as part of CN's recent tradition of releasing episodes of shows early on the app in early december as a preview for the following year, hasn't actually aired on TV yet). Not sure how long season 1 is yet, but given that it's been over 26 episodes already, then, by usual CN trends, it's either 40 eps or 52 (and the ep that came out in december is ep 31)

Pencil lines xeroxed onto cels wasn't something the old looney tunes shorts did that was more of a Disney thing in later decades, what WB did was have inkers trace over the art onto cels.

I realize I might be wrong about that... for the later 50s/60s shorts. But separate cel inkers were def the case for the 40s shorts (the era of Bob Clampett, Frank Tashlin, Dover Boys-era Chuck Jones) that these new ones are the most inspired by

https://twitter.com/HotelT/status/1380505781129338882 So Genndy's not directing the new film (undoubtedly too busy with Primal and Unicorn), though he is writing it. Instead it's being directed by Jennifer Kluska (who's storyboarded on the 2nd and 3rd films as well as some other Sony films, and served as a producer on the Lauren Faust DC Super Hero Girls series) and Derek Drymon (the guy who was 2nd-in-command on Hillenberg-era Spongebob; most of his film credits being storyboarding on various Dreamworks films)

Another response to an older post as I catch up:Hedrigall posted:Sony Pictures Animation has such an up and down filmography though, like compared to even the middle tier studios like Dreamworks and Blue Sky, their output is even more all over the place. From Wikipedia: Okay so some of the films released under the Sony Pictures Animation label weren't produced by them: There's the 2 Aardman films like you mentioned (though the animation for Arthur Christmas was done by Sony Pictures Imageworks), and they also didn't produce the Goosebumps films nor Peter Rabbit (notably Peter Rabbit 2 wasn't released under the label). The Angry Birds films were both produced by Rovio Animation, but while Sony Pictures Animation co-produced the 2nd one with no involvement in the first, the first did have other ties with Sony (Columbia Pictures helped produce it, Imageworks animated it, and Sony Pictures Releasing distributed it) A vast majority of actually-produced-by-SPA films are animated by Imageworks (the 2 exceptions so far being The Star and Wish Dragon), but there are also a few films from other studios that Imageworks animated: Storks, Smallfoot, and Over the Moon Digamma-F-Wau fucked around with this message at 05:21 on May 7, 2021 |

I've noticed that both Spiderverse films have a similar setup with directors: One had already been a director beforehand (Peter Ramsey on the first film, Joaquim Dos Santos on the sequel; though this is JDS' film debut), one's a writer (Rodney Rothman on the first, Kemp Powers on the sequel; though while Rothman had no prior directorial credits and co-wrote the first one's script, Powers has had a co-director credit and isn't writing on the sequel), and one's a story artist making their directorial debut (Bob Persichetti on the first, Justin Thompson on the sequel)

you can tell Kluska and Drymon aren't really trying to differentiate themselves from Genndy, at least superficially.

I hope the one of the directors (thankfully just a director of multiple and not the showrunner) that turned out to be a sex pest got kicked off (one of the character designers, who has an uncannily good ability to emulate the old school cartoon aesthetic, publicly threatened to quit when that news came to light if that director wasn't fired; so there's a higher chance of the guy being gone than you'd cynically assume)
