I don’t get why so many people think normal words but a horse guy is “the animation equivalent of prestige television” when Samurai Jack is right fucking there

Mighty Mouse, Heckle and Jeckle, and other shorts from the Terrytoons studio join the MeTV Toons lineup every Sunday afternoon starting 11/2 from 3p-5p. Includes the classic Terrytoons shorts and the Ralph Bakshi produced 80s Mighty Mouse series. animationscoop.com/terrytoons-m...

So I watched Knights of Guinevere and tbh I have mixed feelings as the story has potential and the characters, while kinda basic, aren't terrible, but man do the visuals suffer in both design and movement, half the designs look like above average TOH rejects and the animation itself is very stilted

🪶HAPPY INDIGENOUS PEOPLE'S DAY! 🪶

Fear of a Krabby Patty is a great episode of SpongeBob and a damn good start to season 4, if only the rest of post movie was consistently this good instead of being extremely hit or miss

Just finished watching Clampett's cartoons from 1945/46 again. IMO, those were his best years, where he was on his A-game, pumping out all these shorts with high energy: Draftee Daffy, Greusome Twosome, Bashful Buzzard, Book Revue, Baby Bottleneck, Kitty Kornered and The Great Piggy Bank Robbery.

Once again my bro ChicoNGT spitting facts

Been watching some shows that could be labeled as tumblrcore lately and its rather telling that most of them blend together so easily, and I'm not just referring to the animation this is also about the characters, story beats, themes, overall vibe, comedy and even certain jokes they're all recycled

Big shout-out to retraux cartoons that bring the source material back to their less mainstream but highly charming roots with a modern twist and be very stylistic as well.

just to add my two cents about physical media - your favorite website, streamer, or online archive could vanish tomorrow due to any number of deliberate or accidental actions on the part of any number of people or organizations. Physical media? You have to destroy it YOURSELF

Disney Channel has always been in CN and Nick's shadow when it comes to having actual quality shows and even now that CN's basically dead they still aren't winning, like sure they have more shows right now but most of them aren't exactly good, or in P&F's case isn't anymore, and at least Nick hasn't

Greta Thunberg annoys the right because she's a reminder that it's possible to stay true to your moral principles even when it's inconvenient, and they fucking hate that

Here's some fun animation history trivia, the world's first ever toy-based cartoon was 'Hot Wheels'. Based on the Mattel toy of the same name, it ran for two seasons from 1969 through 1971 on ABC.

I’ve delayed this long enough so here’s a preview 🧵 of the cartoon idea I’ve been working on over the past few years. The show, currently titled On The Reel, is a surrealist comedy that’s (mostly) episodic and follows an ensemble cast of characters, most of whom live on an island called The Reel.

Released on this day in 1946, Bob Clampett, with help from Arthur Davis, directed his final Warner Bros./Bugs Bunny cartoon, “The Big Snooze”. Bugs gives Elmer a nightmare he’ll never forget after Elmer tears up his contract. #LooneyTunes

Wait, some people had an issue with Zach Hadel admitting about the animation industry being in the shitter and it was much better back in the day? Genndy have said the same thing before but when Zach says it, suddenly it's "problematic" and that's why I'm confused. Don't you guys want better?

Hell, even if it DOES improve with recreating EEnE, I doubt that could get any better than Season 1 in terms of expression and character acting. Even more conservative cartoony stuff like T&J looks like ass when shat out in AI. Never getting anything on par with Bob Clampett out of Sora 2 lmao

I remembering watching a video where Sora 2 managed to perfectly replicate a bunch of beanmouth shows and family guy and then there was an example of it trying to recreate Ed Edd n Eddy and the characters ended up looking completely malformed and diseased. The answer to survival is right there.

Ngl speaking as somebody who genuinely DOES dislike Artificial Intelligence, if there's one unironically good thing that's come out of its existence, it's that it really does show why being tethered to bland, generic, and homogenized art styles is so bad for you as an artist.

Looking at old TV schedules is fun because sometimes you get reminded that Jimmy Neutron was at one point on equal footing airtime wise with Fairly Oddparents and SpongeBob, sounds insane in hindsight but I guess kids really liked it at the time, or maybe it was the network playing favorites idk

A core part of being a fan of animation is learning to hate other animation fans.

There's never been a cartoon in existence more astroturfed than Captain Planet

Buster Keaton was born 130 years ago today, on October 4, 1895

I hate Dead End: Paranormal Park because it’s ugly as fuck and has no soul beyond making fandom brained tumblr users cry Muskrat hates it because he’s a transphobic chud who can’t cope with the fact that his own daughter has justifiably disowned him We are not the same

Happy 33rd anniversary to Cartoon Network!

Maybe Dizzy Red Riding Hood was the last of Poodle Betty but that can be left for some interpretation as her ears or earrings are covered it still could be using the established Silly Scandals design Any Rags would be it i watched during middle school since i liked the pic of Bimbo in the thumbnail

Willard Bowsky was the Fleischer poster boy

It’s spooky month bitches!

TODAY IS THE ONLY DAY YOU CAN REPOST THIS!!!

Thinking about that one peanuts special where charlie brown climbs over a wire fence like a bug lmao

Looks like Big City Greens of all shows has become the next in a long line to develop a fanbase that cant comprehend some people not liking it and instead of being adults about it and moving on with their lives they've decided to stereotype all who dislike it as elitist snobs who hate new cartoons

The discourse surrounding Knights of Guinevere is some of the most pointless chronically online bullshit I've ever seen, further proving just how insufferable the cartoon community tends to be, and yet it still somehow isnt the most insane thing cartoon fans have done in just this year alone

Just because an animation doesn’t hit fucking 10 million views on YT doesn’t mean it’s a ‘failure’ JFC ya’ll are so fucking shortsighted it hurts.

65 years ago tonight, September 30, 1960, The Flintstones, the first primetime animated series advertised and intended for an adult audience, premiered on ABC and became a cultural and generational milestone (no pun intended). You can catch it on MeTV Toons, Boomerang, Hulu, and Tubi.

write stories that make unimaginative people say 'oh my god!!! whoever wrote this must have been on drugs!!!!!!'

Apparently a lot of ppl needs to hear this #bskycensorship

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

I've mentioned before that most 80s cartoons sucked with very few exceptions but upon watching more live action shows from that era I'm noticing that most of those sucked as well just to a lesser extent, there were way too many painfully unfunny sappy sitcoms and I've never been a fan of soap operas

I don't like Illumination Mario movie but I don't get the point of this making the original live action movie suddenly being good. Like faithfulness of Illumination movie to the source material wasn't the problem, it's bland characterization, humor and paper-thin plot.

Obviously this looks great and Sony can step on legos for all I care but I guarentee that the very same people who freaked out over Fixed and whined about "how far Genndy has fallen" are eating this up and going right back to dickriding Sony since they're currently the cartoon community's favorite

oh, yes, there's no audience for 'what if the black knight was like a space marine' but there's absolutely an audience for another 20 smurf reboots

bob clampett toons just hit so different. his use of closeups in particular is so distinct. also are you kidding me with this shot from "what price porky" which just blew me away

Gonna go even further: don't refer to it as "consuming media" when doing this. You aren't a consumer - it's not a product. You read books. You look at art. You watch movies and/or videos. Be careful about word choice. Reject "consume" and REJECT "CONTENT." IT IS ART. YOU ARE ENGAGING WITH ART.

if you work for ICE you’re evil. if you cheer ICE on, you’re evil. ICE has no positive value in this country. it’s just an outlet for people’s worst, most racist and violent impulses.
