    CGI replacing puppets and cartoons :(

    I've actually heard that Toon Boom is the leading animation software and some are even going back to doing "In-House" animation using it. I know that South Park is all in-house using Maya and Corel. I just got the latest version of Toon Boom Studio, it looks amazing but I got to watch my...

    CGI replacing puppets and cartoons :(

    That's very interesting and so true too. I never thought of the puppet industry being that way but it's sort of true. And what's sad is that the people who build the puppets don't have creative freedom of a project, instead they take orders from the company. I know that a few ex-friends of mine...

    CGI replacing puppets and cartoons :(

    Cool. I still need to get myself a cel myself. I do have a layout production drawing from Ren & Stimpy on my wall. It's really cool. I won it off of eBay for about $30. Nice cel. My best friend would be so jealous. He's a huge Sonic fan. lol :)

    CGI replacing puppets and cartoons :(

    Really. lol I've heard of Bozo before. Heard he was very popular for some reason. But if it comes to clowns. I'll take Krusty the Clown any day of the week, and it's perfect because he's a sell out and he keeps getting technical difficulties at Krusty Burger. lol (I love classic Simpsons). I...

    Yeah they creap me out too. My best friend is going to Walt Disney World in October and we were joking around on how the people inside can't even do the character's voice, they are just silent.

    Lots of MUP3's, Wanna Trade?

    I'm looking for some Christopher Cerf songs. Both Sesame and Non-Sesame. He's literatly my favorite vocalist. :) I tried to look up this song on Amazon MP3 to see if Sesame Workshop released it yet, but I guess not. It's called "Long Time, No See" from the 1994 album "Cheep Thrills" even...

    My apologies to Steve Whitmire, Bill Barretta and Disney.

    Hi there, Yeah I won't appoligize. There's no need. You were expressing how much you care as a fan. And what's so amazing about these characters is that sometimes we forget they are made of foam and fabric. lol That's the pure magic of it. I'm sure Steve and Bill are so pleased to have such a...

    Anyone into 90s toons and classic 40s cartoons?

    Anyone remember Tiny Toon Adventures, Animaniacs and Pinky and The Brain? I'm slowly getting back into these shows now. I remember watching them as a kid but wasn't a huge fan but now watching clips online, I suddenly get all the jokes, gags and references and all that. So it seems to be a lot...

    What sketches scared you as a kid?

    YIKES! That Raggy Rabbit is scary looking. Almost as bad as the first Snuffy back in the day. The rabbit is like in the combination of Yellow Suberine, Underground Comics and a Wet Saggy Dog with Rabbies. WOW, Shocked that this was on Sesame. WOW. lol This was 70s Sesame right? Thank God I grew...

    The Muppet Show Season 1 Uncut only in Germany?

    So the timeslots being moved around would cause less viewers because the viewers would be confused not knowing what time to tune in right? So the network would look at this as, low ratings oh well time to cancel. That's what happened right? I'm just trying to make sure I got how the whole system...

    CGI replacing puppets and cartoons :(

    Last time I went was in the 90s or maybe 2001 or so when I seen the lame knock off puppet versions of Wayne and Wanda on their TV screen. I think me and my best friend walked in there because we went with my landlord's kids and they had fun and we didn't. lol But I think the last few things I...

    CGI replacing puppets and cartoons :(

    HA HA HA, OH YEAH! I REMEMBER That Dexter. Which also reminds me of Bloaty's Pizza Hog from Invader Zim lol Gaz wants to go but Dib is busy trying to stop Zim. God what great shows. lol I wish WB released the rest of Dexter's Laboratory. I still need to buy myself season 1, still trying to find...

    The Muppet Show Season 1 Uncut only in Germany?

    Yeah I figured that it had something to do with the copyrighted songs. Strange that the New Muppet movie had a higher gross then the other Muppet Movies. Because the late 70s and early 80s were The Muppets at the top of their popularity. How many viewers? 30 Million a week or something like...

    Anyone into 90s toons and classic 40s cartoons?

    Thanks for sharing that Mad show clip. I finally got a chance to watching after my internet wi-fi connection has been acting up. lol Your right, that satire is pretty good. Nicely done taking a shot on how they make bad puns and trying to look all cool and stuff. lol Also like to mentioned, they...

    CGI replacing puppets and cartoons :(

    Really, wow. I got to check out what the old Chuckie looked like, just for laughs. The idea of a straw hat Rat, it kind of reminded me of this not so well known puppet kids show called "Swamp Critters". lol I think as a kid when I seen those robotic characters, I sort of wanted to get up that...

    CGI replacing puppets and cartoons :(

    Speaking of this thread, anyone ever hear about what's happening to Chuckie Cheese the rat mascot? He went from skateboarder to 2000s rock star, but this time, in CGI and he shrunk. http://media.miamiherald.com/smedia/2012/07/03/17/25/473-J5Eev.Em.55.jpeg I hope I have enough money for a mouse...

    Anyone into 90s toons and classic 40s cartoons?

    Yeah totally. I'm not huge with super heros but my best friend is. He's now getting into old comics remaster books wanting to read the ol' 60 Spiderman comics. But like you said, it's the matter of taste. Because there's so many genres of animation and even animated shows and cartoon humor...
