Also, the aforementioned Doogal is really an "edgy" American redub of a film adaptation of a beloved-by-Brits French cartoon called The Magic Roundabout. And guess which company was involved with the dub? This one, of course! :rolleyes: And Butch Hartman wrote the redub script, sadly enough.

I'm actually impressed that DNA Productions'/O Entertainment's work was made with commercial-grade (as in, anyone can buy it) animation software, to be honest.

This is apparently a Danish/German co-production from 2008. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1087841/ The animation at least looks a lot better than Video Brinquedo's, too, that's for sure. There's actual life and textures to the animation here!

I enjoyed seasons 4-6 (post-cancellation), but the 7th contained some of the worst episodes of the show (the aforementioned one with O.J. Simpson, the one where Peter turns gay via a vaccine, and especially the one where Meg becomes a born-again Christian).

I've heard that the Toei-animated Little Mermaid movie (made long before Disney's version, in the 1970s) is supposed to be really good, and a lot truer to the book (and a lot more naked mermaid boobs, too :D).

It's SO refreshing that Tangled didn't become that, but almost did in development purgatory when Shrek was out. Frozen probably won't, either.

The smaller companies are to blame for clogging up the market with mostly crappy CGI movies that people are tiring of. It's just like the hand-drawn stuff from the last couple of decades.

Don't forget the late THQ.

The Europe season seemed like an attempt to appeal more to Europeans.

Glad to see Disney finally found a use for feral Mickey after that idea was scrapped in Epic Mickey! :D

Also, I'm pretty sure that back in the '90s there were people who grew up in the '40s and '50s that whined about how much new cartoons sucked and that they should rerun old Tom & Jerry or Looney Tunes shorts for all eternity, and if they had their way, we probably wouldn't have had all those...

Maybe he wasn't available at the time these shorts were being produced.

Betty Lou sure was wasted potential. The producers unfortunately didn't give her much of a chance to develop her character, unlike Prairie. Ditto the tomboyish, scientific-minded, and slightly ditzy yellow monster Ruby.

It's called Pelswick, another underrated cartoon. Also another positive example of a handicapped character in a show: just an ordinary kid going through the same issues as other kids who just happens to be paraplegic. :)

Did anyone else like As Told By Ginger? At first I found it a rather boring animated teen drama, but it has slowly grown on me. It's got a strong sense of continuity, realistic teenage issues, a nice portrayal of interracial relationships, and some really tearjerking moments. It's no wonder why...

It makes me really mad that Paula Deen is losing her cooking show and several endorsement deals after saying maybe one or two racial slurs many years ago. If coming out as a type 2 diabetic (or making food with lots of butter to begin with) didn't destroy her career, why shouldn't this?

More PBS budget problems at the expense of the Street yet again. When will it ever end? :rolleyes: The opposite can be true with hand-drawn animation, too. The new Winnie the Pooh movie was like $30 mil. to make compared to Tangled's whopping $260 mil.

Yeah, that one. Still creeps me out, and not just because of his abnormally large head. I actually discovered his name is Michael Liu, and was also in a Nationwide ad. www.ispot.tv/ad/7AVX/nationwide-insurance-drivers-ed-featuring-julia-roberts

What about that really big-headed Asian guy from that Kayak.com commercial (you know, where he creepily pops up through his roommate's sweater and hijacks his body to check out some deals on his laptop)? I've actually seen him in another commercial somewhere, but I forget where.

Exactly.
