Unpopular Opinions About Western Animation

I started watching How to Train Your Dragon movies on 4k blu ray and was surreal to see how dated they looked in parts mostly with low res textures or stuff like hair looking funky. Crazy that Pinocchio's animation still looks amazing despite being from 1940, has me wondering if CGI movies will ever become ageless like 2D animation.

Production for it was rushed in hopes that the movie would do better than Monsters vs. Aliens in terms of kickstarting a new franchise, and honestly looking at the visuals, it somehow shows as it feels more like a rendered cutscene for a PS3 game. 2 and 3 improved a lot with visuals, yet like the first, they are also very consistent with quality.
 
There were 2 shows that I remember liking it:

Two were french or canadian for sire

One had 3 sisters and a witch

The other was in paris and had girls in a school setting wearing hats.

Shit was comfy as fuck
 
Beetlejuice's animated series came out in the early-90s you retard. Only the Beetlejuice movie came out in 1988. Please do research before you post.
Don't tell other people to do research when you yourself got your facts wrong. Beetlejuice TAS started in 1989.

hate that people think of 80s cartoons as mostly He-Man and Transformers. There were lots of quirky, imaginative titles if one cared to look:
Implying that neither He-Man nor Transformers were quirky and imaginative.

Like I know they're easy to toss aside because of how milked both franchises got later on, but that's a little like denying that the Chuck Jones era Bugs Bunny had quality because of all the bad modern reinventions.

I agree with most of your post anyway, just had to nitpick that.... well, that and mentioning Danger Mouse but not Duckula or Banana Man.

.......................

Also, not aimed at anyone in particular but its happened twice now and its kinda weird how any time someone docks a more recent era, there's always a "well the eighties had bad cartoons too" type response. I've never understood that response--and I agree with the general premise. But that's a little like trying to defend the Virtual Boy by bringing up that the SNES had games like Rex Ronan: Experimental Surgeon.... especially when one of your criticisms of the VB isn't even the games, but that playing it can give you eyestrain.

Seriously guys, this "the past was terrible, be happy in the present" shit is already something Lefties do. We don't need to be adopting it.
 
People tend to forget, but when they are reminded, they act as if it counts because "muh pilot episode aired in 1999, so that counts" but it doesn't, and it would be like saying the Fairly Oddparents came out in the 90s because of the series of shorts that aired late in that decade. It just does not count.
Or that the Simpsons came out in the '80s because there were some shorts on Tracy Ullman's show and the first episode aired in 1989. I remember being slightly pissed about that because it basically signaled the end of Groening's Life in Hell books which I liked at the time. It was still pretty good through most of the '90s.

I'm sure, if he had more to do with The Simpsons than he did for his strip. He kept it going until 2012. Perhaps what we need is a complete Fantagraphics release if it.

I'd buy a Fantagraphics reissue, either one of them in a huge volume with literally everything or a series of smaller graphic novel sized reissues.

They might need to bind it on the top or the bottom instead of the sides because of the odd format the originals were in.
 
Tear Along the Dotted Line was a nice, down-to earth show. I really liked the twist ending but the main character is annoying.

The World Can't Tear Me Down is nothing like that. It's really preachy and boring.
I thought about the same about Tear Along the Dotted Line as you did. This World Can't Tear Me Down revealed the absurdity of the main character in the first one. Zero is pathetic.

Realize what all the oldheads before you have: your stupid little bands and music subculture isn't coming off life support, it's in its deathbed, and no one will remember it. Everyone your age and younger isn't interested in it and can't relate to generations prior to their own. Who are you saving it for, the immigrant savages who hate the West? For the new culture amalgamated from Italy and Islam? You're fighting a LARP to murder your culture and give your daughters over to rape. No one will be around to remember what Italy was once like, let alone know all the subculture facets you want to keep. You gave it all away to color your countrymen as nazis and style yourself the hero. No wonder your friend killed herself, Zero. You're a pathetic and still foreveralone loser. When you see a naked woman are you gonna start drawing a comic about how you won't fuck her? Muslims don't belong in the West you ignorant, arrogant counterculture whore.
 
Spielbergs The adventures of Tintin from 2011 was legitimately one of the best animated movies ever made and it’s criminal that it never got any kind of sequel to this day.
Rango is also a great animated movie that came out that same year. Tintin comes close, in my opinion, yet I'm also pissed that Tintin never had a sequel.
 
Blame Peter Jackson, from my understanding he was meant to do the second movie but kept farting on
Peter Jackson focused his eggs on the Hobbit trilogy, and eventually producing Mortal Engines, and look how they turned out. Think about it, had Peter Jackson and Steven Spielberg focused on a Tintin serquel, then we would've lived in a utopian future.

At least we get to have an adventure with Prof. Calculus.
 
If there's any indication, I think a sole Tintin movie was for the best. I don't want a new Tintin movie in a currently woke world

So go suck a dick and enjoy your autotune you soulless dickless fuck.

Maybe I should watch that Tintin movie. I utterly loved Tintin as a kid and have been horrified at virtually every adaptation of every other thing I loved that I just never watched it to avoid new trauma.

If you've seen Zero's work he's a band scene kid hipster who got old. He patterns himself after La Haine-watching high school resistance grifting, the European variety. If you thought I was criticizing American rock or even stating an opinion on music at all you're mistaken.

Anyway keep pining for the old days. They're never coming back.

It's really good. Even as a film from Spielberg, it never came across as preachy or manipulative unlike most of his other works. He and Peter Jackson are well aware that they're doing a Tintin movie, and if anything, it's an amazing adaptation of it. I'd say the only negative thing I have is that the animation in it is outdated that, even in times, it just looks like a PS3 rendered cutscene. Still, it's a great watch, and I even recommend it for those who want to get into Tintin.
