Cartoon/Western Animation General

There needs to be consequences for companies that write off already completed projects just to save money.
For those wondering, the Coyote vs. Acme Movie at WB got written-off for $30 Million despite the fact it was already finished and it was testing well with audiences. I feel bad for the people involved because this Project could’ve been a hit had they just tried to genuinely market it.

It’s a bummer that one Looney Tunes movie got saved, but another got shelved.

@Salamenace
God damn it Warner Bros :/

To quote Darkwing Duck…does “phenomenal” have one F or two?

@Salamenace
The movie’s budget was 70 million by the way

@Salamenace
Zaslav.

@Emerald Tanuki
Holy crap, so do I. I also have trouble with understanding what is considered funny or not.

@northern haste
How did this happen anyway? As someone who gets picky about parental abuse in animation, I never had any problem with Homer strangling Bart.

@Salamenace
I really hope there’s someone in the IRS that actually cares about animation and decides to do the right thing and revoke all of WB’s recent tax writes offs as acts of tax fraud.

@Red-Supernova
…you’re being sarcastic, right? Making fun of me without me knowing it?

@Emerald Tanuki
The internet often had mixed messages. It’s not entirely natural to how we usually talk to eachother.

Take a back seat and chill. If you are unsure about an online person watch them a bit from the background.

@Emerald Tanuki
I can assure you, I’m not. Sorry for the confusion.

So my parents and I often talk about film and literature while we eat, and during today’s breakfast, we had a discussion about The Incredibles, and the interpretation of the film being a Randian piece and whether the message was intentional. This led to us talking about how other people including authors like Rudyard Kipling had previously perpetuated the idea of some people being inherently better than others before Rand, and whether the film itself sets up circumstances so that the superheroes would obviously seem better in comparison, or whether Syndrome’s plan of making everyone super would have been a bad idea because as we’ve seen in recent years, the will of the people isn’t always the best and giving power to the people does also mean giving power to bad people.

Ultimately, the conclusion that we all came to was that Elastigirl has a fantastic ass.

Y’know what, Book Six of The Dragon Prince: Mystery of Aaravos is about to come out soonish. I think I’m finally gonna sit down and watch Book Five to see if it’s the improvement fans say it is.

I have to admit, though, I forgot what happened at the end of Book Four. But I’m not gonna bother going back and watching it. The fart jokes aren’t worth it.

So…that Newest Rick and Morty episode.
Rick finally got his vengeance on Rick Prime, but now what? Also, Evil Morty came back.

@TheHappySpaceman
Clearly, it was a productive conversation.

@TheHappySpaceman
Hahaha, nice.

They finally released a trailer for the new Garfield movie, at first it didn’t feel anything like what Garfield represents until he started eating everything and at that point I was pretty much sold.

While this does look like a lot of fun, I’m a little perplexed by Garfield being voice by Chris Pratt, just like with Mario is doesn’t sound like the character, of course we all know he could pull off a good performance and even showed us he could do the Mario voice from the games; with Garfield I feel like if it isn’t Lorenzo Music or even Bill Murray then it just isn’t Garfield (hopefully maybe this will turn out better in the actual movie)

Garfield also has a father this time around (voiced by Samuel L. Jackson) which is a neat idea just funny since I’ve yet to see Jim Davis put an actual father into the comics or tv shows. We have seen his mother, and the closest other relative was his grandfather

@Dr_Osaka
Maurice Lamarche can do a good Garfield voice.

You ever notice how Michael Kovach seems to voice a lot of characters with big wide grins?

Anyway, I know the chances of getting an animated adaptation of Bone are basically nil at this point, but I can totally imagine Michael kicking ass as Smiley Bone.

Who’s that last one? I’ve seen someone here use it as their avatar.

I fully cop to being overly cynical here but I can’t help but look at the boom in Indie Animation (A good thing btw) and just immediately wonder about the future. Specifically thinking “Alright which one of you brings this nice little house of cards it’s first big blow? Who’s the John Kricfalusi here? Its always someone.”

I’m not making any guesses because I genuinely don’t know if they’re even is one. I hope not. But anytime something super huge and good feeling happens like this, well. * gestures at Twitch and Youtubers * there was a time when they seemed nice and pure too once.
