Western Animation - Discuss American, Canadian, and European cartoons here (or just bitch about wokeshit, I guess)

[starborn427614]

Something is going on with the new Proud Family, because I see people arguing about it all over Twitter.

It's just being political. Nothing new for the show if you've seen it back in the day.

I think the issue was it’s not being handled as well as it was back then.

Also something about shaming the white friend for dating a black guy.

 

[wtfNeedSignUp]

And it's intro was kino. You don't see that kind of quality in current animated shows.

The film is one of the greatest DC films and only competes with Mask of the Phantasm, holy shit what they done to my boy Robin there...

It might have to do with this (just read the subtitles while muting the audio).

Was it the Rugrats creator who freaked out when someone sent him fanart of the characters grown up all attractive. His response was no they would not look like that and made art of them grown up ugly. He later apologize but I thought that was funny.

I just saw that art on Twitter the other day, so I’m going to say yes, it was him.

There was also a recent scene where they're mad about how some boy "doesn't date black girls" and asked Zoey out instead. They all start shit talking the boy and Zoey because of it, even calling Zoey a "red headed Becky." I wish I saved the clip but it seems like it was removed from Twitter. I'm really curious how that episode ends.

Ah, I just found the clips.

I haven't bothered much with the new Proud Family despite liking the past one. But if I rememebr right they got a blacktivist character with homo dads now so I'm gonna take a wild guess on who's causing race trouble.

There is also this video that was posted on TikTok (just read the subtitles while muting the audio).

I FUCKING KNEW IT.

Spoiler: PROUD PROPAGANDA

This whole scene is aids and has BuyLargeMansions' handiwork written all over it. Lincoln praise, juneteenth garbage, Zoey not saying anyhting but holding up signs (bcuz da blacx r speekin), that one kid (is that Myron?) getting his mouth covered for mentioning the Illuminati and New World Order (which are way more relevent than negors and their struggle sessions about shit they weren't there for), wanting the land for nothing because they didn't work for it and saying to keep the mule, saying "slaves built the country" when the Native Americans would like a fucking word and of course unanimous applause for "doing something great".

Damn modern activism to hell.

If young dumbass minorities were still persecuted they would be back in those same fields not being heard except screaming from being whipped. Get the fuck over yourselves and stop making us pay for what certain people did and stopped doing because of what your ancestors did and you're not even coming close to doing by barking at us. We're all wage slaves in our cages and could be free if you stopped thinking you're the only one who suffers and get off your well-beaten highhorse.

No it was Eric Molinksy who was a storyboarder. Honestly I can't recall the last time we heard a peep from the original creators. They kind of did their thing and fucked off.

Repost from Soviet Animation - Aleksandr Petrov
Posting this here from the Soviet Animation (or Russian Animation) thread since the thread is pretty much dead. Would you consider Russian animation Western animation? It's pretty Westernized and most of the usual stuff of the post-Soviet era is based on European folktales.

One of the famous animators of the Post-Soviet Russian period, he is known for his 2D animated films done entirely in pastel paintings on glass.

By using his fingertips instead of a paintbrush on different glass sheets positioned on multiple levels, each covered with slow-drying oil paints, he was able to add depth to his paintings. After photographing each frame painted on the glass sheets, which was four times larger than the usual A4-sized canvas, he had to slightly modify the painting for the next frame and so on. It took him over two years—from March 1997 through April 1999—to paint each of the 29,000+ frames. For the shooting of the frames a special adapted motion-control camera system was built, probably the most precise computerized animation stand ever made. On this an IMAX camera was mounted, and a video-assist camera was then attached to the IMAX camera.

Are kids actually watching the new proud family? Who is the audience for these shows?

People who watched the original, I guess. That or bored parents finding stuff for their kids to watch on Disney Plus.

 

[SteelPlatedHeart]

I'm really curious how that episode ends.

The boyfriend actually does prefer to date Caucasian women over black women, justifying what her friends said, so Zoey breaks up with him over it and makes up with her friends.

How many times do I have to fucking say it? Children are not the main audience for Western animation anymore, and they haven't been for a good long while. It's terminally online man/womenchildren who are their true target audience now.

Makes up with the friends. Who were throwing her out of the friend group. Over her looks being more appealing to a guy they all wanted's dating standards.......... that's fucked man. How did we go from Penny time-traveling to a segregated school showing how mlk's dream has come true (for the most part) to this shit that's undoing it?
rhetorical question we all know the answer.

Wow that's retarded. The friend group in the new series comes off as so toxic. With Penny's response in those clips I was hoping she would just be like "Some people have different preferences" and leave it at that. I bet Sticky would've been cool with it.

I wish more cartoon creators were like that to be honest. After doing a successful cartoon they just fuck off. Imagine if Alex Hirsch had done that instead of becoming a retard online after Gravity Falls.

This sounds offer. I remember how in the original cartoon they never made it a big deal that Zoey was white. The only time was that time travel dream episode ( which was a good episode).

Penny: This country was built on slaves!


Yeah about 400 years before you were even born. You live in a suburban house, are waited on hand and foot by almost everyone, and you're one of the few black kids raised by both parents. In other words get off the cross we need the wood.

How many times do I have to fucking say it? Children are not the main audience for Western animation anymore, and they haven't been for a good long while. It's terminally online man/womenchildren who are their true target audience now.

Because most animation IS MADE by terminally online man/womanchildren. Look as I said we are giving shows likey bluey flak because...well like anything made in this day and age it inevitabley atracted weirdos and deviants as a fanbase. But putting...that aspect aside and trying to pretend it doesnt have anything to do with the actual show. It is a legit breath of fresh air to see a show made specifically for Children, without being a headache for adults to have to over hear it with them.

Yep! Every frame is on a glass sheet, which is 4 times larger than the standard A4-sized sheet.
