He-Man and G.I. Joe come to mind!

I like Transformers (which, a little known fact, was actually a co-production between the US and Japan... hense why they got Toei to animate it in its first conception)... but I never did care for GI Joe (not going into it) or He-man. But yeah, cartoons no matter from what country seems to vary. Personally, I'd love to see more One Pieces Shaman Kings and Kinnikumans over here than Pokemons... but kids love those stupid toys, and it really hinges on stuff that can be easily marketable (considering you can't really turn much of a profit on kid's shows anymore (not going into that either).

I doubt we' see little kids clammoring for little Doraemon plushes... no matter how much I dream it.

But getting back to the subject... isn't it ironic that (not counting flash cartoons) that CGI cartoons just didn't have as much an impact on TV as they do in the movies? the only really successful ones that come to mind are Reboot (which came out in like 1995 or so) and Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius... and those were both years appart.

Pokemon. More than one pokemon, two pokemon (Sorry, being one of the oldest members of my home pokemon forum for the last seven years knee jerk reaction). And it is not just toys (which we kids do collect *looks at army of pikachus under her tv*) but the video games, which are nicer and more addicting than many video games nowadays .
Did Shaman King ever have an ending in the anime I wonder? (I don't want to have it ruined for me, I just wonder)

Tarzan use to be one of my least favorite Disney movies, but after some of the newer movies they've made since then, like the 2nd Jungle Book, I have a new love for it .

I think in the last 5 years or so the storytelling on a lot of cgi movies, save the Pixar films, have horrible stories.

I agree with this statement. witch is why I say not all CGI moving are bad.

It's like watching one of those old Godzilla movies where the lines are dubbed by someone but the characters mouths in the movie are not moving correctly.

Aw! But I love those! that are classic!

The more I really stop to think about the new title for this thread... I think somebody's trying to tell me something...

I find it rather hilarious myself

 

[Redsonga]

It seems like they think CGI on it's own makes a good movie :\

*Sigh... If you have any suggestions for better thread titles for this, you know I'm open to it Fluffy erm, Snowtheye.

BTW: Some comments of mine.
Would much rather prefer if they brought Onepiece back to Toonami. They got rid of it from the Fox Kids lineup because it was ceeded to Toonami, then the Funimation story arcs kicked in... Then it was yanked to make way for Blue Dragon, originally given a timeslot on Saturday mornings and a second spot in Toonami which irked me, now neither are on the network. I have to go to the Onepiece Wiki to get update on the overall story. And what's worse? They bring in The Misadventures of Flapjack to make up for it. Miss adventures is right. Ugh.

Would also like it if they stopped jerking us around with the removal of series to bring in other additions to the lineup. I missed out on the last eight episodes of Winks Club last year due to class scheduling on Saturdays. Now that it was brought back I hoped to get the entire third season finished. And now it seems like it's out to make room for the return of Diganda Defendors and Biker Mice from Mars, whether the classic or new version I have yet to know.

At least I still have Kaotic on Jettix and Yugio GX on Kids CW. Sorry, CW for Kids.

 

[Redsonga]

Argh, Flapjack..I can even stand to watch Camp Lazlo more than that..thing

 

[The Count]

Yeah... The only reason I'm counting down today Thursday is for TDI, Total Drama Island. That's one of my new faves.

Yeah! That seems to be the consensus anymore.

I agree... I mean Chicken Little? Meet the Robinsons? Open Season? Barnyard?

Hey! I really liked Meet the Robinsons. Did you actually see that film? There's a touching sentiment not contained in any other animated film I've ever seen. Chicken Little had a little bit of it too.

I can agree with you on Barnyard. The company just purchased the technology and made a CG movie. Open Season just had a lot of one-note jokes with stylish animation.

But Robinsons, while imperfect, is a very sweet film with relatable characters and eyepopping animation.
