This is inaccurate. The guys on the right should be fat, like Saberspark.
 
Dealing with GLITCH recently has unironically made me sympathize with the network executives,

Some people really just want to complain about their “trauma” ( aka average first world middle class problems). And they feel entitled to millions of dollars and hours of man power to make a show as a replacement for therapy.
Growing up is realizing the big bad network executives are probably what saved a lot of your classic childhood cartoons. They aren't the ones with the raw creative talent, but they know what sells and generally what people like, and what might bother the parents and kids watching their shows. They've also usually been in the game longer than the creative talent, and know things they simply don't, lessons you can't put down in a manual but have to learn first hand.
 
The episode that covers addiction (Cyborg gets a new chip that increases his processing) is such an underrated gem that it's even talked about much by some fans of the show.
The Buzz Lightyear cartoon had a similar thing, where Mira gets addicted to the power surge she gets from phasing through nuclear reactors, and in the end, her father has to explain that she'll be living with withdrawal and the impulse to continue doing it for the rest of her life.

Shockingly, Disney buried this episode and only ever aired it once.
 
Fuckin' french

I honestly didn't notice the fetish stuff when I was growing up. Only after /co/ made a big deal about it I learned about a half of these fetishes even existing.
Compared to what Bobby pills (creators of peepoodoo and also French) jqve made, totally spies feels almost tame quaint even in comparison. At least TS had a subtitly to it that you could read off as "lol she grew fat from all those cookies that's funny!"

Is that the same guy who made a pitch for several bad concepts including a Disney princess+The thing cartoon? God, behind all the coom and fetish bullshit he is very uninspired. You could read each check point inside his head, alligning either with some yuricucked hentai he read or nu cinema tropes.

New forgotten island trailer is out. The animation looks pretty good and the rest looks... uhhhh

Ver archivo adjunto 9185955

Imma be honest I thought they were just gonna be alone on that island with maybe a few non-talking creatures like a magical robinson crusoe situation and with the island itself being alive and keeping them there (like how in coraline the other world was just other mother and a bunch of stuff she made out of bugs), not that there would be a whole city of literal furfags and a regular villian who is basically a vampire (that eats unborn babies in its actual mythology but in the film just eats memories, I guess?).
Same. I thought it was a cute friendship movie but I had no interest in watching it.

When they said it would focus on the relationship between 2 friends I thought it would be their attempt at an emotional and more chill pixar-type film with it just being the 2 of them exploring and figuring stuff out most of the time (like with UP and WALL-E having the same type of isolation), but I guess a cringy furry boy making anime and family guy refrences tagging along it is. Having a bunch of side characters to lore dump on them there kills a lot of the wonder imo.
I still have no interest in watching it with this new trailer. Looks like tonal whiplash. If they save everyone, will it be a time jump or just a dream? There's a whole city of people living in that dimension. You can't explain that.

The Children's Television Act of 1990, and 1996 FCC regulation update, put out a requirement for a bit of PSA/Educational content from each station each year, so a tonne of shows made 'the drug addiction episode' and 'the anti-racism episode' to help meet the requirement. I remember them becoming so common that even as a kid I was saying to myself 'oh it's _______'s turn to do this, huh.' Some shows really fumbled the req and come off super cheesy, others did it with some finesse.

I don't know if they bother meeting the PSA requirement anymore since I haven't seen kid stuff in a dog's age, but my guess would be no.

The one that always pops in my mind is Terrasaur/Starscream getting hooked on energon surges:
 
Why does this wolfman look like he's from an entirely different movie?

It also forces writers to think more creatively to get around network restrictions and censorship.
The Buzz Lightyear cartoon
I remember rewatching the VHS of the pilot movie at my grandma's house a ton as a kid, but I never got to watch the cartoon itself because it was already off the air after I first saw the VHS.
Mira gets addicted to the power surge she gets from phasing through nuclear reactors, and in the end, her father has to explain that she'll be living with withdrawal and the impulse to continue doing it for the rest of her life.

So it's like the gun episode of Gargoyles where Broadway accidentally shot Elisa.

I watched the show occasionally growing up, and I was more interested in the gadgets than anything else.
 
Conan The Barbarian is getting an animated show by Cartoon Network and Amazon, by Genndy Tartakovsky.
The best possible choice for a Conan animated series. Cautiously optimistic for this one!

In more dispiriting news:
Charlie Brown began writing to a pen pal not long after the comic strip “Peanuts” debuted in newspapers back in 1950. No one has gotten a look at whoever was on the other end of his letters — until now.
Her name is Mia, and she’s a young girl from London of South Asian descent who uses a wheelchair. She glides into the spotlight in the animated movie “Snoopy Unleashed,” coming to Apple TV in 2027, helping Charlie Brown, Snoopy and the gang explore what being a pal is really all about.
With Mia, the creators wanted to birth someone as different from Charlie Brown as possible — a girl, not from a suburb or a rural town, who moves through the world differently, without a pet, and someone with confidence.
“Charlie Brown is probably one of the most insecure human beings that we know. That’s what makes him charming. It’s how we see ourselves in him. So we felt that we wanted Mia to be more comfortable with who she is,” says director Steve Martino, adding: “A big part of her role in the movie is to be a mirror to Charlie Brown, to journey with him and to reflect some things that he couldn’t see himself.”
Expect Mia to outshine the main cast in every way, shape and form because diversity and spechiulness. More then happy to be proven wrong, but I don't have high hopes.

I wonder if it's going to be a straight adaptation of "Queen of the Black Coast" or go more the route of the storyline in the Roy Thomas/John Buscema run on the Marvel Comics Conan title, where Roy Thomas expanded it, with several issues between the beginning and the end of the story.
