Title: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: MitchZer0 on June 01, 2008, 09:24:43 pm Remember back then when there was nearly BILLIONS of cartoons? Where are they now? No where sadly :'(. There are a few cartoons now, but there pretty annoying (especially the ones from cartoon network excluding the animes) and companys such as Disney don't really make cartoons, and I thought that was impossible.

Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: TGLucario475 on June 02, 2008, 07:25:56 am your telling me...Dexter's Lab..Courage the dog, Cow & Chicken & all them where brilliant, but now its getting boring, like Camp Lazlo, My gym partner etc etc...i even have to say that Jetix (FoxKids UK) show some horrible cartoons, Captain Flammingo, unlike the greats of Jackie Chan adventure, Shin Chan, Digimon, Eek the cat etc etc
Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: SteC on June 02, 2008, 09:01:26 am Jetix UK, no doubt. I looked at the range of shows it had before the early 2000's and every one of them are decent. I think it's how Fox handles the distributions of those shows and I recall Digimon came on at one time in March this year. Saturday mornings at Channel 4 used to be a godsend but I'm not quite sure what happened there.
Amazingly we can turn to YouTube to watch those classics. God Bless them, my Sons. Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: Helios on June 02, 2008, 10:13:33 am I see three reasons for it:
1) No-talent hack writers. Pretty much speaks for itself. 2) A push to make every children's show educational or make some point. Don't kids get enough of that sort of stuff at school or from their parents? 3) Polictical correctness (the point I hate most >:[). Nearly everything you can say, write, show, etc. will offend someone today. People will also run through stuff with a fine-toothed comb to make sure there aren't any hidden meanings or political points being made. It pretty much eliminates any entertaining plot you could write, and prevents the classics from being re-aired on public TV. How many people here watched 'Rescue Rangers' in the late 80s/early 90s? You remember the Siamese Twins? Well they got placed at number two on a list of Disney's most offensive characters. And why? Because of using an oriental animal to represent Chinese characters. To me, that's as stupid as Australians complaining because a kangaroo was used to represent an Aussie character. There's so many examples out there for PC'ness. Another is the animated Noddy shows being banned because Noddy and Big Ears slept in the same bed in one episode. "Oh noes! They must be gay - ban it now!". Bloody hell, some people are so ridiculous. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. The majority of cartoons today are crap. If I ever have kids they're gonna be watching the classics I grew up with. Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: TGLucario475 on June 02, 2008, 12:16:59 pm Jetix UK, no doubt.

Post by: MitchZer0 on June 08, 2008, 02:14:08 pm It's so sad how cartoon network's cartoons are just annoying, especially with characters like fred fred burger (which makes emperor fred look like he has 54654654647474IQ), chowder(always says for example "this this this..." or "thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii..." over and over again), and i can predict that flap jack cartoon is going to be sucky >:[. make real cartoons next time cartoon network
Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: TGLucario475 on June 08, 2008, 02:49:05 pm your tellin me....i heard that Cartoonnetwork US dubbed InuYashi on it o.o

My parents actually send me The Super Mario Bros Super Show and Super Mario 3 (The show). It's been ages since I last saw those. Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons?

catchy, any ways, back to subject. Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: KageReneko on June 09, 2008, 01:10:01 pm Since I have internet I've been trying to get the cartoons that I really liked just for my children, I plan to have my first in this year... Anyway is sad to see how the cartoons have gotten worst and I try to be an open minded about cartoons; I like KND, SpongeBob, Fairly OddParents, Dave the Barbarian, Billy & Mandy, Danny Phantom, Foster Mansion and even some episodes of my Gym Prtner is a Monkey but os true that oir cartoons were a lot better and deeper... I just hope can get all Animaniacs in Latin Spanish for Yakko, Wakko & Dot teach my children to be as annoying and smart like I tried to be...
Even the japanese cartoons have gotten worst, I mean all that we get now are copies fropm old shows or psychological (boring) series where the characters spend all the episode taling about existentialism while to see to nowhere...I'm getting Ranma 1/2, Sailor Moon, Dragon Quest Dai no Daibouken, Street Fighter II V, Magic Kinght Raye Arth and obviously SPC for them... I don't have to ask for Dragon Ball, it always will be showed by TV... Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: TGLucario475 on June 09, 2008, 01:37:15 pm Sailor Moon FTW
how about cardcaptors? Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: TGLucario475 on June 10, 2008, 02:13:45 pm how about old school pokémon?
Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: KageReneko on June 10, 2008, 02:50:06 pm I never understood whatt was the hype about Card captor Sakura, I mean, the arument was really stupid and Sailor Moon and raye-Arth had a lot more of action, I liked that cartoon but wasn0t the big deal for me... Pokémon would be good if follow the timeline iof the games; is irritating to see that ageless Ash with his dumb face everywhere and the Team Rocket already saturated me... Specially with the mexican traduction that became really annoying...
Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: TGLucario475 on June 10, 2008, 03:31:37 pm & they keep doing morte & more legendaries!!
Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: KageReneko on June 11, 2008, 09:37:52 am yeah, in the end God will be a pokemon and Ash will own him... :P
Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: Methid Man on June 11, 2008, 12:55:25 pm What happened to cartoons is that bald-headed business executives took over and turned it into nothing more than a business aimed at kids.

Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: Flash Kid on June 14, 2008, 03:29:40 am I still have some old school Pokémon VHS tapes back from the late 90's. The newest pokémon VHS I have is one from Jhoto. And we have maybe 6 of the 8 movies. But still, Pokémon season 1 pwns all and is def. FTW. But back to the old cartoons.
============ I enjoyed Dexter and Super Mario Bros. super show, and old school Scooby Doo, Heathcliffe, Garfield (He's from Indiana! WOO!), Samurai Jack (MAJOR FTW), Yu-Gi-Oh! (season 1 and 2), BLUES CLUES :P, Doug (Nicklelodeon one not the crap Disney Doug), Hey, Arnold! (that catchy jazz music in the BG) and so many others!! ============ The only good cartoons now a days are Fairy Odd Parents, Spongebob, Danny Phantom and some anime stuff :P FK Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: MitchZer0 on June 14, 2008, 03:54:10 am The only good cartoons now a days are Fairy Odd Parents, Spongebob, Danny Phantom and some anime stuff :P FK I like spongebob, used to like FOP but since "POOF" has been introduced i don't like it that much. anime, not much today holds my interest (i would say the pizza cat's, but sadly, it's not on air today, not even reruns :'( :'( :'( ). But back then, there were lots i liked, wish kid(or mit), wuzzels, garfield and friends, new adventures of Winnie the Pooh (which sadly never airs any more in the US, only in the UK. The closest i ever got to UK was the "epcot" world thing, :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( ), I miss cartoons. :'( Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: Methid Man on June 14, 2008, 12:31:30 pm The only good cartoons now a days are Fairy Odd Parents, Spongebob, Danny Phantom and some anime stuff Yeah, Fairly Oddparents is pretty cool with Butch Hartman, the creator of Johnny Bravo, having produced it. Certainly unlike Jimmy Neutron, which sucks...the only Jimmy Neutron I ever watch are the Jimmy-Timmy crossovers. I mean, you can easily tell which Jimmy Neutron scenes were written by the FOP writers because they were actually somewhat funny. Like the lunch sack scene: "That's not mine..." ::turns around sack revealing the name 'Carl Wheezer':: "That's not me..." ::turns around lunch sack again this time saying 'Oh yes it is!' with Carl's face underneath:: Spongebob is cool too, though it's showing it's age. By now, most of the jokes are too predictable. Anyone here remember the Earthworm Jim cartoon series? That one rocked. 100% faithful to the video game. ^_^ -- Sam the Methid Man Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: TGLucario475 on June 15, 2008, 12:24:12 pm EARTHWORM JIM?!?!?!

Does anyone remember that Duck Dodgers series they had on cartoon network for a while? The only episode I really remember was when he accidently got the Green Lantern's costume from the dry cleaners. Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: TGLucario475 on June 15, 2008, 01:22:31 pm not duck dodgers
i'm not gonna say but i will...anyone remember the powerPUFF girls? Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: sans soul on June 15, 2008, 03:34:48 pm Ah yes... I remember when tv was still good. Back when the Muppet Show was the best thing around, PeeWee Herman made a killing along with Mr. Bill and the Simpsons were just a twinkle in Tracy Ulman's eye.
Earthwork Jim had a catchy theme song and Evil the Cat was cool, but I think that was about it.I liked Powerpuff girls when they first came on. The shows in that generation from Cartoon Network were of legendary material, like Dexter's Lab and Samurai Jack. But, try to pick the shows that aren't still on anymore to reminisce about. ::) How about Danger Mouse and Count Duckula? Those were personal favorites of mine back in the day. And even though it wasn't completely animated, Square One was amazing. Hey, can anyone tell me if Freakazoid is still on air? Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons?

Oh TGL, you almost got that right. Jess Harnell is not a woman. He did do the voice of Crash Bandicoot, however. Here's what Wikipedia has to say: Jess Q. Harnell (born December 23, 1963 in Teaneck, New Jersey, U.S.), is an American voice actor, best known for portraying Wakko Warner and Walter Wolf on Animaniacs and Hunter on Road Rovers. He also voices Joe Tabootie on the Nickelodeon show ChalkZone, Crash Bandicoot in Crash Tag Team Racing and Crash of the Titans, Spyro the Dragon in Spyro: A Hero's Tail and Spyro: Shadow Legacy, Jerry in Totally Spies and Doctor Finklestein in The Nightmare Before Christmas's video game spin-offs, as well as in the Kingdom Hearts series replacing the late William Hickey who voiced him in the film. He currently voices Captain Hero on Comedy Central's animated comedy Drawn Together and is the announcer for America's Funniest Home Videos. He also does the voices of Wooton Bassett and Bennett Charles on the radio drama Adventures in Odyssey, as well as Br'er Rabbit on the Disney TV show House of Mouse as well as in the Disney attraction, Splash Mountain (both at Disneyland and Walt Disney World). He was also a voice director on Eek! The Cat, What's New Scooby Doo, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Bruno the Kid, Terrible Thunderlizards, Life with Louie, The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest and Where's Waldo. He also made a few appearances on Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad, both on-screen and in voice-over. He was most recently cast to voice the characters of Ironhide and Barricade in Michael Bay's Transformers, released on July 2, 2007, making him the only voice actor to play both an Autobot (Ironhide) and a Decepticon (Barricade). So there's a few more awesome shows to add to the list of "whatever happened to the cartoons?" My personal fav of the bunch is a show I used to watch alongside SPC. Road Rovers.

Chapter 1: the early days of cartoon network In 1992, WB made a channel that would show classic cartoons from 50s 60s 70s 80s and early 90s, called cartoon network, it had 1000s of cartoons, even if most of them ( and i mean MOST OF THEM) were made by hannah barbara, legendary animators,they also made new cartoons, and remastered old cartoons like underdog, it was all good back then :D Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons?

Cartoon network was known well for it's blocks, but the best was Fridays. On fridays, random cartoon characters would host and sell merchandise. latter it showed even more cartoons and changed a little bit, until it died somwhere pre summer 2007. Life: 1st: showed 5 cartoons, and sold stuff 2nd: more cartoons, stopped selling Summer: different theme 3rd: acters and puppets, had a fool "Tuesudays" 3.1: actress switched 3.2:chic house theme other:New cartoon madness, or some thing like that, and a few others Fried dynomite:kids doing random #%$%, exploding corndog and random nachos theme thursdays: same as any day, a very horrible day to do new episodes so, yea cartoons, to actors, to random madness, to kids, to thursdays, fridays really changed, until it wasn't friday. so now, fridays are going to be boring, because cartoon network is going to be it's normal annoying ass self on fridays. we miss fridays , i do too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgO2-slISZs bye, fridays :'( Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons?

(http://homepage.ntlworld.com/andrew_neilson/ane/bsm.jpg) (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/andrew_neilson/ane/C.jpg) I must admit that Pink Panther and Sons passed me by, as did: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-ivsOE45j4 Which raises a point, why were there so many "and Sons" spin off's? You either get the main cast as kids (Muppet Babies), young versions of the stars but unrelated (Tiny Toons) or kids billed as the offspring (as above for Messrs Panther and Cat). "Cheep franchise extension" yes, but why bring in the young 'uns? Not to mention messing up the continuity ("Sonic and Sons" anyone?). So what happened to the cartoons? They are still made, but with every year it's getting harder to point to one and say it's as good as the the earlier stuff. Getting more pessimistic, you could say the whole idea of television episodes, schedules and series will slowly disappear. Meh. I'm off now to try and find a cartoon spin-off from a cartoon that was as good as or better than the original. And while I do that, try and imagine Samurai Pizza Kids (or Kitts, if you prefer).

Quote WereWolf: I hope it's dying....worthless life sucking hydra.... He was talking about TV in general with that quote, not cartoons or SPC. Also, don't forget TV is just one of many different mediums people use for entertainment, so just because someone wants TV to die doesn't mean they don't wanna watch anymore shows especially now that we have internet and DVD. I too think TV has become so terribly bland it needs to die off. These days I don't even watch TV anymore, I watch all my favorite shows over the internet, and many of today's shows are becoming more and more webcasted.

Post by: Cloud-Boy on September 27, 2008, 11:05:21 pm I will agree with Cartoon Network sucking.
I also agree that, as a channel, Nickelodeon sucks somewhat. However, looking past the Zoey 101's and ICarly's and other nonsense aimed at 13 year-old girls and effeminate boys, there are some shows that still make it worth it. For example, I recently started watching El Tigre on youtube. At first I though it was stupid, and a little racist. But when I got into it, holy crap, I couldn't stop laughing. Avatar also makes the channel bearable to watch. Sure, people complain about how it's trying to imitate anime, but I look past that and focus on the entertainment factor. I like the show, the story and it's characters. However, Nick Jr can still burn in hell for all I care. I actually sat down with my niece one morning to watch it, and I think I got dumber.

Post by: Methid Man on October 07, 2008, 01:06:13 am Welp, I just watched all of Elm-Chanted Forest and it was one heck of a trip down memory lane. My memories of this movie are so distant and buried I didn't even remember having ever seen it until Pizza Zero posted it. It must've been at least 20 years since I last saw it.
Fifi is hot, Buddy is the kind of sports jock most people should avoid, cacti can be very fruity especially when they hate beaver *wink wink* and I just found that painting is as awesome as trippy movies on acid, with or without magic. I was intrigued to find it was produced by a Croatian studio, and through looking around on Youtube I'm even more intrigued to find they even made a sequel, though sadly it's only in Croatian as they never made an English version.

Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: sans soul on October 26, 2008, 08:09:08 pm OK, new post. for whatever reason it hit me at work yesterday - Mapletown. I'll bet the only one on this board who remembers Mapletown could be Vi, but since Mapletown and SPC have some resemblances, I thought I'd bring it back anyway.
Mapletown is like SPC in that it's a japanese animation by Saban revolving around a community of anthro animals, who even have similar features to our favorite mechanical critters. If you watch the show, they have some of the same mannerisms and the animation is almost identical. Even the sound effects/music sounds similar at times, and there are characters in Mapletown that have a status to those in SPC. Take a look, see what I mean. http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=85gLSA8o2-0 i wish i could have found another episode but it seems like a hard-to-find series. I barely remembered it. The same voice actress who played Deedee also played Lala on Mapletown, and Naoki Tatsuta, who played Jerry Atric did the part of Youta from Mapletown too. Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: Methid Man on October 27, 2008, 01:36:41 am Holy crap, I remember it! O_O
Just barely though, I was very little back then. As soon as you mentioned 'Mapletown', I had a feeling I heard it somewhere... Let's see, without even looking past a few seconds of that video, I'd like to see how much I can remember of that show... It had a rabbit girl, a snobby fox girl, some boy bear and a thief dude... I think he was a thief... I remember one episode where there was a heat wave and the rabbit girl ended up getting some kinda heat exhaustion while trying to take a pail of water somewhere... I'll watch the video later to see how well my memory measures up. Goodness, this really digs up long-buried memories I forgot I even had...and I never would've thought it'd have any connections to SPC! -- Sam the Methid Man Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons?

Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: Violet on October 27, 2008, 11:13:26 pm Yep, I'm a Mapletown fan! There's also a squeal series called Palmtown (which I actually like even more). But they are both really hard to find. :'( I only have a few episodes in Japanese on VHS. The English dub sounds kinda SPC-ish, I wonder if it was done by the same Canadian studio that dubbed the voices for SPC?
Here's the opening to Palmtown #Invalid YouTube Link# Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons?

Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: Mechadon on October 28, 2008, 06:38:43 pm I've never seen either of those before.
This brings me to think of something that has been bugging me for years. SPC was the first anime I've seen. Dragonball was my second. I usually tell people that Sailor Moon was my third, but it really isn't. That's because I can't remember the name of the third one. Finially I've thought to ask about it. It was centered around a little frog and his friends. Judging by the animation style, it was definitely geared toward a younger audience than SPC. I'm talking pre-school stuff. But as we all know, Japanese cartoons, even the pre-school stuff, can be real smart s*** with deep characters with emotion and crap like that. The only title that sticks in my mind is "Kerupo". I don't really think it's that, but it's similar. Definitely started with a "K" and it isn't Sgt. Frog. --- Nevermind, I found it. It's called Keroppi. Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: blind2d on October 28, 2008, 09:40:57 pm Course not. SGT FROG wasn't an anime until, like, the 2000's (or whatever you call this dumb century/decade). I'm a fan, by the way. Dororo-kun ftw!
Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: sans soul on October 29, 2008, 12:13:15 am Quote it was centered around a little frog and his friends. Judging by the animation style, it was definitely geared toward a younger audience than SPC. I'm talking pre-school stuff. do you mean kerokerokeropi? (http://www.ri.net/schools/Narragansett/NES/Classrooms/BlumenbaumA/Author's%20Tea/kerokero.gif) that's from hello kitty, i believe. And to Vi: Yeah, I had no idea that it had ANY relation whatsoever to SPC until I rewatched a clip from youtube a couple days ago and noticed the startling similarities. And I agree that it sounds like it could be from the same Canadian studio, which made me do some research into it to find out if I was right. I had a feeling you would remember it! Never heard of PalmTown though. Looks really cute! :) Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: Mechadon on October 29, 2008, 01:08:36 pm Yes, yes that would be the one. I can't remember it being from Hello Kitty. Now that you mention it, it did air very closely with a Hello Kitty anime. It might have been part of the same show. Your guess/knowledge is as good as mine, if not better.
Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: Truro on November 03, 2008, 03:50:26 pm Does anyone remember one called Patrol 03? It was about anthromorphic animal cops working with the mayor to foil the plans of the corrupt police cheif Pamela. The series was rather light hearted and featured some of the voices for SPC. I know that Mayor Walrus has Guru Lou's voice, and Shorty sounds like a younger General Catton.

Post by: MitchZer0 on December 07, 2008, 08:21:02 pm I also like Codename: Kids Next Door. they way they ended the series they could easily come back with some new ones, if cartoon network would stop playing crap. yea, all cartoon network is doing now is making cartoons that are just plain annoying and showing rated pg-13 live action movies like Jurassic park, nick just makes cartoons that last a few months or a year at the most, disney channel just has one cartoon running for a year and makes another one, and disney never makes a cartoon that wins awards, not to mention disney is bastardizing their old cartoons by making ether a cgi educational show, or making a s**ty sequel which barely has anything to do with the first movie, back then, a new (pretend your in the 20th century) disney movie would always be a called "a magical masterpiece", now, a new disney movie is just an average everyday movie, I don't want to see a whole entire high school of stupid teens, I want to see something that is magical again, with castles and fairy tales, just like disney was and should of stayed as it also doesnt help how animation looks like s**t now, they could make an action packed intro with the animation in the late 70s, 80s, and 90s, now animation just looks like paper with crayon marks, anyways, I don't mind all of the live action shows on disney, just the over rated ones (over rated as in WAY too popular then it should), I do like zach and cody, i like thats so raven, and cory in the house, i sometimes watch hannah montana but i dont really care about it Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: blind2d on December 07, 2008, 11:37:13 pm Yep, Disney has fallen far, and I feel the pain almost every day... at least there's still new anime (Gurren Lagann) that's good!

Lets watch it"
Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: sjonnoh on December 25, 2008, 10:13:52 am I can tell that cartoons of these days (exept animes) are getting worse everyday. It almost looks like everbody can make cartoons these days. Most are very ugly made and have no good story (>:(). I bet I can even make better cartoons when I try to make one
Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: Gabya on December 25, 2008, 12:25:51 pm yeah probably... today it seems like all they have to be is random.
typical today kids cartoon: a kid says "Hey! i was bitten by a snake!" *flashback* kid gets bitten by a snake *end flashback* kid 2 says "this is like when i was kicked by a horse!" *flashback* kid gets kicked by a horse, ALIENS ABDUCT HIM, EXPERIMENT ON HIM, then put him back by the horse. *end flashback* Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: Romero Anchovy on December 25, 2008, 01:00:16 pm That sounds better than any thing on CN today Gabya. LOL
Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: sjonnoh on December 25, 2008, 06:51:27 pm great cartoons in the past: looney tunes, biker mice from mars, king arthur and the knights of justice, inspector gadet, dick dasterdly and mutley, teenage mutant ninja turtles, the lion king, heathcliff, the adams family, ed, edd & eddy, tom & jerrytiny toon adventures, animaniacs, peter pan and the pirates...................
great cartoons these days: ben 10. Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: MitchZer0 on December 25, 2008, 11:14:48 pm great cartoons these days: ben 10. yea, even though i'm not a real fan of ben 10, its probably the only cartoon today where the character don't look like they're paper Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: Gabya on December 26, 2008, 07:01:07 am I liked the humour of the show :)
The newer Sam & Max games capture it perfectly :D Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: Yakko Cerviche on December 26, 2008, 03:08:44 pm It seems like the compelling story telling elements of cartoons are left mostly to anime these days. And of course, we have 4Kids TV to kiddie them up and take out important parts of the story (as well as common facts of life, like death).
Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: Gabya on December 26, 2008, 04:16:30 pm and replacing it with lectures about FRIENDSHIP!
Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: blind2d on December 27, 2008, 12:08:25 am yeah... we need somebody to come around and really shake things up! I thought Flapjack was okay, but Zim really is the only thing that stands out as something really original to me in recent years... surprisingly, i still find enjoyment in the Simpsons.
Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: Yakko Cerviche on December 27, 2008, 05:03:32 am I think the Flapjack cartoon is actually kind of funny. You're right, blind. Someone needs to come out with a groundbreaking new cartoon that isn't anime.
Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: Cloud-Boy on December 27, 2008, 01:56:58 pm I hate Flapjack. It's that kind of mindless cartoon that really pisses me off.

Post by: sjonnoh on December 31, 2008, 09:29:26 am I just forgot about ben 10 using 3 characters from the anime naruto in the episode merry christmas.
there are 3 kids that almost looks exactly like konohamaru, moeigi and udon.

Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: Romero Anchovy on December 31, 2008, 03:40:09 pm LOL sjonnoh. can anyone else find anything like that?
Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: sjonnoh on December 31, 2008, 03:56:47 pm well, when I was searching for the episode, I came out at youtube and the video I found also said: did ben 10 stole the characters drom naruto??
so I'm not the only one who noticed XD anyhow, I just don't understand what the show "ben 10" wanted to tell about that, because those kids were only a few seconds on the show and then they run away ?:| Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: Romero Anchovy on December 31, 2008, 04:15:00 pm idk maybe that Ben is training to become a ninja. :D
Or telling little ninja kids not to take candy from strangers :D Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: KageReneko on January 01, 2009, 12:55:30 pm Pinky and the Brain were good in ANimaniacs show, I don't know why I never liked theor separated show (Was worst when they included Elmyra)...
Do you remember Hysteria? That was a great show... Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: Romero Anchovy on January 02, 2009, 05:31:07 pm Wans't there a cartoon by the name of Bobby's World? I slightly remember it cause the main character was a kid that rode around on a big wheel.
Tail Spin I remember that cartoon. I also remember the video game. I had it on the sega Gen. Was Hysteria the one where they went to different events in history? I think that one was on the WB, right? Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: blind2d on January 03, 2009, 03:31:06 pm Yeah, I remember that one! His uncle farted bubbles in the pool when he was helping little bobby learn to swim!
Waynehead? Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: sjonnoh on January 03, 2009, 08:49:58 pm I also remeber that show, only I saw the dutch version so I don't know about the english vioces. I can remember that his uncle always use to say to bobby: "aai over de bol tijd" which is litterallly translated: "caress over the ball time", don't know what he used to say in english. anyhow bobby does kinda reminds me at myself, I also was dreaming a lot when I was young XD
Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: Methid Man on January 04, 2009, 03:48:07 am Wow, I remember watching The Adventures of Tin Tin back when it was on HBO. Now that was a cartoon with a good sense of adventure.
Bobby's World was awesome too. I always overlooked that show thinking it was just a regular old cartoon about a little boy, but looking back, I realize it was actually charming enough to watch. BTW, does anyone remember MTV's Oddities? Anyone remember "The Head"? It was a weird show but in a lighthearted and entertaining way. It also taught the value of the difference of people, even if they're odd-looking, without making it annoyingly obvious that it was teaching you something Hey-Arnold-style. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Llqi_Tti8Gw -- Sam the Methid Man Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: Romero Anchovy on January 04, 2009, 10:24:03 pm looks like it's done by the same person who does Superjail.
There was one show i vaguely remember it was out the same time as Bobby''s world, but this one was about a kid named Louie, i think it was called, "Life with Louie". Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: Methid Man on January 04, 2009, 11:06:02 pm Actually it was made by the same guy who made Celebrity Deathmatch on MTV, Eric Fogel.
And yes, it was called "Life With Louie". -- Sam the Methid Man Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: sans soul on January 04, 2009, 11:29:11 pm I remember Bobbie's World, and also MTV's Oddities. That show used to air just before The MAXX and Aeon Flux, if I remember correctly. They were ahead of their time.
#Invalid YouTube Link# Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: sjonnoh on January 05, 2009, 03:33:58 pm I never liked life with loui, I always thought it was a terrible show and mainly because he was fat and ugly and the stories were always boring to me
Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: Romero Anchovy on May 11, 2009, 10:18:55 pm Anyone remember the, as I like to call it, "Square chined" Batman series? that one was the best Batman cartoon series.

Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: B.J. on August 01, 2009, 06:16:46 pm I'm really disgusted with Cartoon Network these days since now they are airing live TV shows on a cartoon only channel. Isn't it supposed to be called "Cartoon Network" for a reason?! :P If you want a channel that airs both cartoons and live action shows, we have Nickelodeon and Disney.
Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: MitchZer0 on August 01, 2009, 07:11:29 pm recently, i saw a commercial on cartoon network where they said this
Quote from: random idiot staff member from cartoon network this white part shows the cartoons on cartoon network (white part takes up more room), the black part shows cn real (black part is really tiny) 1. that is false because there is barely any cartoons on cartoon network, and the only cartoons on cartoon network are either more random then me talking about madam mim, or just weird cartoons geared towards 16 year old teens 2. the black area should be no existent, IT'S CARTOON NETWORK, NOT REAL NETWORK!!! it seems like this all began when they showed dumb and dumber and Jurassic park, then take honey i shrunk the kids, A DISNEY MOVIE, and put it on cartoon network, but then again, nick did the same thing with the live action scooby doo and kind of off topic, i noticed a commercial that was racist, it was a juicy drop pop commercial where they had a contest to see who would drink the most candy juice, the white girl won, while the black kid lost Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: sans soul on August 02, 2009, 07:11:21 pm technically they can play whatever cartoons they want and still be called "cartoon network". just because you can't watch your precious disney cartoons or beyblade all day on there doesn't mean they aren't playing cartoons at all.
and by the "real network" thing, i think they mean some new promo they're doing giving "real kids" some airtime while asking them cartoon-related questions. i don't watch much tv, but i happened to notice it recently. Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: KyoZaber on August 03, 2009, 12:58:23 am For the most part, I think Cartoon Network has seen it's glory days, and currently is in a rut.
For me, it all slowly started back with SpaceGhost Coast to Cost... Got faster with Toonami, then climaxed with a lot of the original stuff they made. I'm talking about... - The Power Puff Girls - Dexter's Lab (The originals. Not the attempted re-launchs.) - Samurai Jack - Ben 10 (Not Alien Force.) - The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy - Megas XLR - Johnny Bravo (Second Season) - Codename Kids Next Door I honestly wonder what things are like inside of CN nowadays. I haven't seen nor heard of anything new from Cartoon Network Studios in a while. Are they still there? Are any of them working on new projects? If so, what are they working on? Were they canned? What happened to some of the directors and writers that came up with a decent amount of content that was pretty good? Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: Methid Man on September 03, 2009, 01:21:29 am Cartoon Network started getting cool back in the day when Williams Street came to the picture. Space Ghost, then Toonami, then Adult Swim. Eventually, though, the execs sprouted dollar signs in their eyes and decided it would be best to turn CN from a cartoon-lover's channel into a Nickelodeon clone, going so far as to neglect Toonami, then later cancel it and replace it with "CN Real". Just the name itself is frickin' retarded. It's practically a joke.
Thankfully we still have Adult Swim but that's basically a network of its own. I'd like to see the old Cartoon Network back. Sure there's Boomerang but not everybody can afford to jack up their cable bill when they only want one channel. -- Sam the Methid Man Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons?

Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: ANE on October 28, 2009, 07:49:39 pm One thing about Ben 10, whoever does the merchandise production/sales here in the UK has got that spot on.

Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: Methid Man on December 31, 2009, 09:29:36 pm Let's all be glad Disney gave us a decent 2D-animated movie. "The Princess and the Frog" was pretty good.
We need a new, good primetime cartoon show that isn't the Simpsons or Family Guy. I'm talking about a show that can tell a story. The show that came close to that standard was "King of the Hill" which is now a discontinued series. If you mean story as in continuous sagas, anime is pretty much the only type of animation that has ever pulled that off. I mean, when it comes to prime time they can make live-action sitcoms and live-action dramas, yet they only bother to make cartoon sitcoms, here in North America anyway. And let's face it, anime is just a niche market; almost nobody other than animation fans will watch it even if it rocks so it's automatically doomed to bomb. -- Sam the Methid Man Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons?

The most recent Saint Seiya OVAs are crap if you compare them with the 80's series, 85% of animax shows are unoriginal, stereotypical and filled with cliches... The over use of unnecesary "Hentai" content, gore ands typical emo students just kill my desire of watch any japanese series... Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons?

Not entirely. I still think it can come back. Truth be told I don't care whether it comes from Japan or not. Seriously, we live in a global world now (sound kinda stupid to say "global world". Like "person human"). Get some international teams together and make something awesome. Enough of the androgynous demon hunters with big swords. Give it a rest and give me something REAL. Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: blind2d on January 31, 2010, 06:00:10 pm Want a great new anime? Soul Eater rocks pretty hard. Gurren Lagann still has teeth, and if you like the 80s style more, nothing beats the original Macross/Robotech deal. I just realized how different the animation quality is between Witchblade and the first season of Pokemon.... wow. I still like it though...
Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: sjonnoh on February 01, 2010, 03:28:20 pm I think the new fma is still good enough to watch, and of course there are still naruto and bleach which are also still going on. besides those there are ea few others I watch but most are just too short, not more then 30 episodes and that's the onliest thing thats so negative about most animes.

Post by: Someone who does Something on January 21, 2011, 12:29:53 pm I see three reasons for it: Yhea birng on good ol' cartoons . also i think shows should be left un-edited.1) No-talent hack writers. Pretty much speaks for itself. 2) A push to make every children's show educational or make some point. Don't kids get enough of that sort of stuff at school or from their parents? 3) Polictical correctness (the point I hate most >:[). Nearly everything you can say, write, show, etc. will offend someone today. People will also run through stuff with a fine-toothed comb to make sure there aren't any hidden meanings or political points being made. It pretty much eliminates any entertaining plot you could write, and prevents the classics from being re-aired on public TV. How many people here watched 'Rescue Rangers' in the late 80s/early 90s? You remember the Siamese Twins? Well they got placed at number two on a list of Disney's most offensive characters. And why? Because of using an oriental animal to represent Chinese characters. To me, that's as stupid as Australians complaining because a kangaroo was used to represent an Aussie character. There's so many examples out there for PC'ness. Another is the animated Noddy shows being banned because Noddy and Big Ears slept in the same bed in one episode. "Oh noes! They must be gay - ban it now!". Bloody hell, some people are so ridiculous. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. The majority of cartoons today are crap. If I ever have kids they're gonna be watching the classics I grew up with. Bring on the vilent cartoons Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: sjonnoh on January 21, 2011, 08:05:08 pm also i think shows should be left un-edited Gotta agree with that, though I did liked the TMNT 2003 version more than the original.Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons?

The animated series of course, it rocks! Generator Rex is better than Ben Ten I think... but is okay, not great... Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons?

Well; japanese animation always has been about copying a succesful series changing some minor details... Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: Blackcat on April 07, 2011, 07:19:14 pm Well, not the ones what become great hits, they usually are original enough.
Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: MitchZer0 on April 23, 2023, 11:19:34 pm I know it's pretty bad on me to necrobump such an ancient thread, especially with a lot happening. It does seem like over the past decade that TV cartoons had a revival and cartoon movies went right for CG, and it's gotten a lot better, we've come a long way since Toy Story. I've also changed a lot since 2008, I'm no longer a dumb emo 12 to 14 year old, and instead a dumb 27 year old... I didn't say I changed for the better mind you, but I really don't want to look at my old posts. I still like Hannah Barbara stuff, yeah, but I'm no longer that old CN fanboy kid.
But One thing I've noticed is that Disney seems to be in an animation slump again, after having it come back after tangled and Frozen being a mega hit (regardless of you're opinions on it, I do appreciate how it seemed to reignite Disney's spark in animation), they seemed to have slumped with their last two movies. I guess I already said it best in my journal on my Furaffinity a few minutes ago (typed on my phone... ouch), so I'll just repost it here. Quote from: My FA journal entry Does Disney hate animation again? Why do I say again? Well, I remember the mid to late 2000s, they didn't do much animation outside of Pixar. Their main product was dumb tween sitcoms and movies, Hannah Montana was more the face of the company than the mouse himself, it was kinda a rough time to watch Disney. Then Princess and the Frog happened, it was good, but didn't do well commercially... but something about it reignited something in Disney, after that was Tangled, which was 3d cg, but did well enough, and led to Frozen, which did gang busters. Regardless of your thoughts on Frozen, it seemed like Disney went all the way back into animation with it. But recently, it seems like Disney would rather make soulless remakes and pump their marketing into such, occasionally they'll trickle out an animated movie, but give it next to no marketing. I doubt anyone noticed strange world existed, but... it did, I didn't watch it, but I heard next to nothing about it aside from some guy on /co/ or something saying it's like journey to the center of the earth. Before that was Raya, which I did watch and liked... but again, barely any marketing, Raya and Strange world both did horribly [in the box office]. So my issue with Disney's live action remakes are... many, mainly their colors and lighting make them look soulless and depressing, compared to the originals which looked warm and colorful. Another is... these movies didn't need remakes in live action, many said it was copyright renewal, but seeing as even very recent ones like Moana are getting the treatment, it doesn't seem to be that... or just that. Is it to appeal to the (dare I say) normie audience, who have the thought of "If it were so good, it would be live action, we have computers, no need for kiddy s***"? Does Disney hate animation again and wants as little to do with it as possible? Is animation dead? Well, the Mario movie was pretty damn good, kicking Disney's ass, pretty embarrassing that Illumination is dabbing on Disney. But yesterday, I watched the new Puss and Boots on 4k under bluray on a damn good TV, and... it exceeded the hype everyone has for it. It was a very, very fantastic animated film. It really was like the type of movie Disney abandoned, it's almost perfect in just about any way I can think of. So I guess that settles it, animation is not dead. So is Disney going to learn anything from it's competition, make great animated films again and actually put marketing into them? I'm not holding my breath, but I guess one thing we could look forward to this 3rd Disney Dark age is everyone but Disney filling the void with what Disney won't give us, just like 80s brought us Heavy Metal and many Don Bluth films, hopefully DreamWorks,... Illumination... maybe even Sony can bring us quality animation. So animation isn't dead, even anime is doing pretty all right in American theaters. Like I've mentioned, the new Puss and Boots was fantastic in every regard and the Mario movie was pretty great as well. But it is a shame to see Disney in a slump, considering they were once (well, twice really... or thrice) the leaders of western animation. Seeing the new Puss in Boots, it makes me wonder what Disney could do at their best now, if they were into animation. Oh yeah, that new Spiderman movie... Isn't that sony? I don't know, I don't really do super heroes, never did. And I guess TV animation is in an interesting spot, just wished adult cartoons could be more than just random sitcoms and we can get one that will run for a decent length of time, but whatever. I guess the trinity of Simpsons, Family Guy and South Park is still going alright and Bob's Burgers seems to be doing well. Also children's cartoons, not exactly a fan of their art directions, and honestly I haven't paid much attention to them (I can't really tell the difference between Amphibia and Owl House), but I hear they're alright. Oh, Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss seem to have really strong followings, not bad for indie cartoons. I still need to give them a look. Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: MitchZer0 on April 27, 2023, 05:40:08 pm A bit of a followup, since I sorta accidentally wrote myself into one, though I wasn't expecting a new animated Disney feature (https://youtu.be/ctlz0R1tSZE) to be announced in under a week.
Seems liken they're playing it safe, but it looks like it could be a fun movie, might check it out. Are they playing it safe because of previous financial disappointments? Nah, I know enough about animated features to know they take a long ass time to make, this was most likely in production for a decade. Hopefully they market it this time. The title might cause some confusion, since there's another Disney Wish (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disney_Wish) Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: MitchZer0 on November 27, 2023, 12:20:07 am So I haven't watched Wish, but all I've heard about it is that it's not very good. Shame, considering I also heard that it had a lot of interesting stuff left on the cutting room floor.
Not sure if I'll see it in theaters or wait until it inevitably hits Disney+ just to see how it went. Oh yeah, New inside Out that looks pretty mediocre, and Toy Story 5 is also eventually coming, looks like Disney really is flexing their creative muscles lately. Legally obligated to say that was sarcasm. Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: MitchZer0 on December 20, 2023, 10:03:56 pm Since the year is ending, I have to say it's an interesting year for animation.
Disney on their 100th birthday of all the times is struggling, the more I hear about Wish, the worse it sounds. The rest of this year's Disney Catalog isn't doing so hot though... Thankfully like the 80s Disney slump, others seemed to have stepped in. Mario was pretty good, surprising for Illumination, but I'm sure Miyamoto was basically breathing down their necks during the production, making sure the studio didn't mess things up. It should be interesting to see where the inevitable sequel will go, as for other Nintendo franchises jumping to cinema, Zelda is confirmed getting a live action movie. But what else could get an animated movie? Maybe a Donkey Kong spinoff? A Kirby movie? Who knows. Not really animation related, but I think an Elite Beat Agents movie would be really good. While I didn't see it yet, I've heard really good things about Nimona, I have to check that out soon. There was a Trollz movie... another one, not my thing, I'm not the target audience honestly, but the detail in the trailers looked pretty good, I'm sure the target demographic would be pretty happy with it. There was some other movie... was it some squid movie or something? I heard that did really badly financially, ouch. Shame, looked interesting, but I'm kind of afraid it might be rather middling. I'm ashamed to admit I didn't watch the newest Ghibli movie, I did hear many have hype around it. What about stuff to come? I hear Sony is working on a new project that sounds like it could be interesting, but Sony tends to not hit as hard honestly. Could Disney redeem themselves (Nah, I doubt it, unless Iger goes or some shake up happens, and even then it's going to be a long while, animation takes time)? Oh yeah, Toy Story 5 is something that will happen... not sure why, Toy Story 4 had great visuals, but ended on a sour note for me, would be worth checking out just to see how Pixar's visuals look, Toy Story always tends to be a good representation of the state of CG animation, and we have come a long way since the first one.

Welp, I guess WB isn't doing well Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons? Post by: MitchZer0 on August 09, 2024, 11:54:14 pm Bumping the thread once again for another bit of unfortunate Warner Brothers news, Cartoon Network's Website (at least the USA english one) now redirects to Max's (the streaming service, formerly carrying the HBO branding) Cartoon Network section. Now I'm not going to completely doompost and say "Yeah, the brand is dead", considering they have a hotel operating somewhere in the North East of the US with the branding currently (albeit, a themed motel with a fancy lobby with meet and greets, and eating space), but it's a shame their web presence is gone, many good days were spent playing their games. Well, at least the one that matters got a source port. https://mattbruv.github.io/ccsr/
Moving onto Disney, Zootopia 2 has been confirmed, and watching someone's stream of D23, Pixar has a Baseball Edit: Frozen 3 and Toy Story 5, as well as Elio from Pixar And with Paramount, they're streaming a new Ninja turtles series, the art direction looks nice, but honestly the animation leaves a bit to be desired, but that's just me. So the old WB isn't looking too hot lately, Zaslov's policies have scared away creatives and their finances aren't looking so hot from what I have heard, I predict that once they're in they're bankrupt, Disney, Paramount and Universal will probably be circling their properties like vultures. Who will get what? Well, Disney owning WB properties honestly sounds pretty nightmarish, I could see paramount or universal owning their properties. Title: Re: what happened to the cartoons?
