/co/ - Comics & Cartoons

Really I think its not some gag. Heck we've got that cast photo so for this all to be a sham would be some bad play. Would show that this is the best time to be at Cartoon Network as the Animation Department seems to be rising back from its near deathblow back on '10.

So new series that I guess leads into The movie stuff or does it take place after the second one?

>>234824
It picks up where the previous Cartoon Network seasons leave off, so still between 1 and 2.

>>234825
okay harder to tell since Hiccup looks like his second movie self. Then going on a journey should be interesting.

>>234826
Yeah, a year before 2.
3 is still a while away, so it makes sense they would spend another season in between 1 and 2.
Spend 2015-16 on that, then you can do a between 2 and 3 season for 2017-18 and finish it off just in time for the movie.

>>234888

Didn't even know such an event happened. Have to get one of those Bluetooth Hamburger players at some point when I move out west.

>>235092
I didn't like the second Mdgscr movie because they shipped a hippo and a giraffe (thought it was too weird to like). After that, never watched anything from the franchise. But liked the Penguins movie.

>>235097
Eh, the bestiality isn't that weird when you consider the film also features a talking lion and a zebra who are besties instead of trying to kill each other.

>>235077
>It was like 95% jokes, and 5% story. And the jokes were top tier. And thank God it was self-contained.
That actually sounds really good. Its like the opening sequence on Madagascar 3. Superb slapstick and chase scenes, absolutely hilarious stuff and the whole theater, including myself, was laughing its ass off. Mostly teenagers too.

But then the story happened and that was all left behind and it kinda fell from there.

I mean, I took that as the number one indicator that no, not all movies should try to be pixar.

Neat.
Anyways, as fun as penguins was, I'm kind of glad the recent shakeup at dreamworks (and probably also that penguins did really poorly) put Madagascar 4 on the back burner for now.
The character arc for the four main characters is nicely concluded in 3, plus I never hear anyone say those guys are the series' strong point anyway.
Clearly this is a franchise that performs better on the small screen .

http://deadline.com/2015/04/green-eggs-and-ham-animated-series-netflix-ellen-degeneres-1201418260/

Ellen Degeneres, along with several others, is producing a thirteen-episode series based on Green Eggs and Ham.

>>235206
Will the entire series be restricted to the same 50 words or will each episode have its own set.

>>235207
It'll probably be the same set up of chase the man down through various places to get him to take something he doesn't want. They'll just expand on the sets and activities involved. Sprinkle in some characters that don't really fit in the Seus world. A couple awkward pop culture references. And generally forget about the base premise of the tale as a whole.

If it follows the patten of adaptation that is.

>>235231
Jesus. All that bad dialogue humor and animation.

>>235235
I'd like to think that at the end of every episode when he finally tries the thing, he doesn't automatically love it every time.
I think it builds more dramatic suspense of the reaction is always different.

Hulu now has a slew of Cartoon Network/Adult Swim shows. Not everything--no Ed, Edd, and Eddy or Powerpuff Girls, but they have Dexter and Samurai Jack, for instance--but a good deal, including shows I haven't seen but would like to.

Unfortunately, they are all behind a Hulu Plus subscription, and I refuse to pay for something and still have to watch commercials. Oh well. I wish Hulu would do an ad-free sub; even if it was $10 or $15/mo, I would jump on it in a heartbeat.

>>235280
>I refuse to pay for something and still have to watch commercials.

In this case, you actually don't have to: any show on Hulu (nominally) targeted at children has no ads, which includes all the Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon stuff.

>>235290
Huh! That's good to know, and will make me consider it more, but I wouldn't want Hulu Plus only for those shows, so I'm still unlikely to subscribe.

>>235354
Lucasfilm (the group of people in charge) want complete control of their intellectual property. They want to control who creates what, for which demographic, when, and how. It's not about money, it's about control.

Lucasfilm are the Sith.

>>235355
Only they would deal in absolutes like that.

>>235354
you don't need their authorization for such thing, though.the story is available for free, your adaptation is yours. What you aren't allowed to do is making money from it or pretend you came up with anything there.

>>235358
right just note the proper ownerships and get going with it.

>>235358
Not really sure about that, but this is still one of the times it would be wiser to ask for forgiveness instead of permission.

Huh, Kickstarter for a few new series of Archie comics.

>>235377
Boy are people getting angry over that. Rightfully so, really, Archie's a bag of dicks.

>>235409
>rightfully so
Really? Because it seems like people are making a big deal out of nothing.

>>235415

Kickstarter's typically seen as a place for people/companies without the money for projects to raise said money and get those projects off the ground. (Scott Cawthon, for example, tried to do a Kickstarter for the first FNAF. He got no bites, incidentally.)

Archie doing a Kickstarter when it could likely afford to do this series of comics without a Kickstarter reeks of bullshit.

>>235417

…well then.

>>235417
Yea that one woman that acted as defacto CEO and was an asshole to everyone and resulted in a few lawsuits. Yea company is in a bad situation.

>>235419
Hahah, oh yeah The Silver Clit.

Anyway, I hope Archie does good. I mean its that one company that stuck with non-superheroes back when it was either that or Mad Magazine.
I for one would love a revival of western Shoujo.

So no longer paying attention to a particular demographic, sounds like a winner.

>from James L. Brooks' lawyer: "show will go on, Harry will not be part of it, wish him the best." This because I wanted what we've always had: the freedom to do other work. Of course, I wish him the very best.

Harry Shearer confirms, in two tweets, that he’ll no longer be a part of The Simpsons. He voiced (amongst other characters) Ned Flanders, Principal Skinner, Mr. Burns, Waylon Smithers, Lenny, Otto, Kent Brockman, Reverend Lovejoy, and Dr. Julius Hibbert.

One down, five to go.

>>235451
There are either going to be some awkward impersonators, or Springfield will be about one third of the way to being a ghost town. It's not a killing blow like Nancy Cartwright or Dan Castellaneta leaving would be, but it's going to be rough.

>>235452

The show's renewed until its 28th season, so even if one of the five remaining Main Voices leaves, Fox'll likely hire replacement voices on the cheap to get the show all the way to its (I hope) series finale.

If I see one more High School bitch with her two lackeys trope one more time, I'm going to pop.

>>235455
I wonder how that trope started. I knew some high school bitches growing up but they didn't have posses or were alpha bullies.

>>235457
Writer projection, most likely.

>>235460
I've never found it terribly relatable, but that could just be where I lived.

But my point is, it's just so played out. Gravity falls at least did something interesting with theirs. But having a generic jerky antagonist is more of an annoying distraction at this point. Least to me.

I rewatched some of Sealab 2021. I'm sure this show is objectively horrible, but I can't help but like it.

>>235576
I think you'll find that's the case for a lot of old adultswim stuff.

>>235576

Every season with Captain Murphy is good, even if a few episodes don’t hold up well. Every season without him is…well, to put it plainly, post-Murphy!Sealab is complete horseshit and none of those episodes hold up at all.

And everyone knows the objectively best [adult swim] original is The Venture Bros. (If Season Two of Rick & Morty is as good as or better than Season One, however, Venture Bros. will be knocked off its throne.)

>>235576
It is the cave painting version of Archer. No one can not like that.

The Good Dinosaur US Teaser Trailer
//youtube.com/watch?v=8lsIrASLD-Q
The cartoony dinosaurs seem really out of place in that amazing background.

>>235821
What's the problem with them?

>>235823
Man of Action is terrible. Ben 10 was terrible. Generator Rex was terrible. And Ultimate Spider-Man is mediocre at best. All three shows star asshole protagonists, which is the only character type Man of Action knows how to write for.

Big Hero 6 is the best animated work they've done, but that's only because Disney rewrote their crappy comic into something worth watching.

>>235825
>Generator Rex
>terrible

I respect your opinion, but get out.
And while I don't really like Ben 10 that much, I know the first show was good and Omniverse was great.

>>235825
Holy shit I could not disagree with your opinions harder, I thought you might have legitimate grips with them but a general dislike of protagonists for being assholes, especially when the three examples you name are a child, a tween and a teenager WHO IS SPIDER-MAN then you are a huge weenie.

>>235834
>I can't defend these poorly-made shows, so here's a SpongeBob gag

>>235838
No, your argument is nothing but you disliking something. I'm not stupid enough to fight against your opinion especially when, like me, you are so belligerent about your opinions, so why not end it in a joke?

Come on, can you really imagine anything productive being produced by smashing our non-arguments into each other?

>>235842
Fair enough. Although, I am always willing to listen to any opposing side.

I was probably the most supportive of USM during its first season, back when the show was getting hated by the internet 24/7, before it was forgotten. But even at its best moments, the show still had severe problems, with an inconsistent tone and a Peter Parker that didn't act like Peter Parker.

>>235847
Funny enough USM was the one I never watched, Generator Rex and Ben 10 were some of my favorite shows on TV though, particularly Rex with it's body horror plot.

>>235848
That being a solid collective for shows I can belive that this can work.

Intrested to see their take on Protoman.

>>235847
>But even at its best moments, the show still had severe problems, with an inconsistent tone and a Peter Parker that didn't act like Peter Parker.

I would have be more forgiving of the show if it wasn't trying so hard to be funny and failing--I don't know if it's the directing, storyboarding, or what, but I can't think of any other cartoon with so many potentially-decent jokes ruined by terrible comedic timing.

>>235884
I can't get over the hair.
Way too realistic.

I'm actually sorta amazed by how well the Peanuts look in CGI form, but Blue Sky has never had a problem with its visuals. Writing, however, it where Blue Sky struggles the most. Horton Hear a Who looked beautiful and had some great mannerism, but the comedy was meeeeeeh.

Griping on Picarto: Courage. Plage teaches how to draw Courage the cowardly dog.
I'm going to post this in /draw/ general too.

So I'm watching Clone Wars 2008, and...while I like it so far, it's got some of what I hated about the movie. Is there a point later on where the droids stop being so juvenile? They never talked this much in the prequels.

>>235958
You don't understand. I mean using the droids as comic relief isn't working. I've watched about 10 episodes so far and they're not funny. At all. I groan every time this series attempts humor. I don't even think I'd find it funny if I was 10.

>>235976
But they have silly voices!

>>235976
The humor gets toned down a LOT in later seasons. I agree that the droids aren't very funny but their "humor" isn't nearly so prevalent after. The first season is just a cartoon, but from 2 on it becomes more of an old pulp action serial.

>>236001
Craig McCracken made the series, but no, neither Tartakovsky nor McCracken has anything to do with this. McCracken didn't even have anything to do with the special last year.

lets get this show put on cartoon network in 2016

>>236000
>>236004
Yea there were some salt about the special as well. I really do question the mentality of cutting the creator out of things after seeing what a shambling mess Jem is going to be.

>>236012

Jem was gonna be a mess even if Christy Marx had been working on it. Given the speed between the announcement of the film and that first trailer, I get the feeling that the people behind the movie were using a generic script that was punched up with some Jem references during (pre-)production.

>>236013
I think that was actually confirmed that it was called Destiny or something and then they did just as you said. Just gave it a thin coating of Jem paint.

I mean no disrespect to the girls they've chosen for this Powerpuff version. I just think the announcement was handled very poorly.

>>236013
It could also be one of those things where the studio's contract for the property stipulates that they must do something with it by a certain date, or they lose the rights to the property. The deadline draws near, for some reason they want to keep it, so they make some super-cheap teeny movie, slap the Jem label on it, and they keep the license.

>>236000
Unless it's a miniseries or something, I don't think the PPG concept meshes well with live-action at all.

>>236025
Where does it say anything about live action?

>>236000
I don't...why? Why would you do this? Are they THAT cheap?

>>236041
Wow, you've certainly managed to pull in a bunch of gender politics for no god damned reason.

>>236047

>>236053
Yea, leave that kinda "men's rights" paranoid talk at /co/

>>236053
How is it twisting it? PPG was never for girls. Now she wants to make it for girls.

>And taken off it has -- most surprisingly with young boys. It has been a longtime standard in Hollywood that "girl shows" just don't attract a mass audience. Long thought that little boys determined what a household of kids watched, shows based on girl topics were never made. However that's all changed. Since The Powerpuff Girls has become a hit every channel is scrounging around for their own "girl show." However Bob Bryant says, "It's the combination of superheroes and little girls that attaches the boy audience."

>Regarding the boy audience McCraken says, "You know I thought they would just completely dis the show because it's cute little girls and they would want nothing to do with it. But they have really responded well, they really like the show. I think that they just like the fact that there is this visceral action that they can respond to."

>Regarding the phenomenal reach of the series, McCraken says, "I thought it would get on Cartoon Network and college kids would watch it and there would be a few random T-shirts out there in the rave scene or in record shops. But I had no idea that it would take off to this extent."

>>236062
Your article says outright that it was for girls and boys just happened to like it.

>>236063
Oh really? Go ahead, point towards the sentence that says the show is for girls. Oh wait, you can't, because it wasn't.

It was his goal to defy gender conventions.
When he saw that it was still being marketed as super girly, that made him so angsty that he Powerpuff Girls movie extra grimdark out of spite.
Not his proudest moment.

I don't get most of the complaints about third wave feminism outside of the tucutes and queer fetishists, because most of the really obnoxious radfems these days have more in common with the excesses of the second wave (political lesbianism, transphobia, and open misandry in extreme cases, debates about porn, rape culture, objectification and sex positivity/negativity, gender roles, etc.). The only thing these people tend to have in common with the third wave is the age.

For better or for worse the third wave is more focused on expanding feminism beyond the boundaries of straight white middle-class Western folks. On a good day they're doing the kinds of things antifeminists bitch at second wavers about, like helping to outlaw FGM or child marriage in the Middle East, or forming support networks in immigrant communities. And on those bad days most of the really jackass things third wavers do or say (which is still a lot), like calling for organized violence against white people or downplaying POC-on-POC atrocities, fanatical word policing, romanticizing mental disorders, or attacking prosthetics and cochlear implants for being ableist, aren't even feminism-related.

>>236065
I thought the PPG movie wasn't him and that's why it was so dull.

>>236064
>>Regarding the boy audience McCraken says, "You know I thought they would just completely dis the show because it's cute little girls and they would want nothing to do with it.

Legally uploaded by Nelvana.

Where are comic dubs in the legal area of things? If I create a "read-along" style audio track for an issue, but only show the cover itself and not any of the pages, is that considered ok?

>>236156
I think that is still illegal (technically, a plot synopsis can be considered copyright infringement if it's detailed enough), but not in any way anyone cares about--it's basically just a transcript, and no one ever tries to take those down.

>>236156
>>236157
Just claim Fair Use. You should be p much safe.

>>236158
Especially if you do it anonymously.

>>236158
Fair Use is a defense, not a right. It doesn't really come into play unless you're already in court defending yourself against claims of copyright infringement. Most people who get accused of copyright infringement never take it to court because you have to pay lawyers to go to court, and the companies attempting to silence you can afford that shit a lot more than you can. They just roll over and accept whatever the companies tell them so they don't have to pay lawyers' fees, even when they're in the right legally.

Quite a large number of projects have been shut down that could easily have passed the Fair Use defense if they had gone to court. But it's not worth the cost or the effort for most amateurs to defend themselves when big businesses start bullying them.

If this series becomes a hit in our side, Toei will consider doing a version of it in their traditional animation style.
I'll be waiting for the glorious Precure and SHT crossover.

>>236828
I'm interested in why they made the protagonist half-Chinese, as there aren't a whole lot of Chinese people in France (less than 1%, though still more than most European countries). For diversity reasons? Because it's unusual? Wanting an Asian protagonist because of the collaboration with Toei? Either way it's pretty cool to see one as the full-on lead in Western stuff.
