Have we arrived at a point where this is acceptable quality for Television animation? or anywhere for that matter? I feel bad promoting it by blogging about it, but I couldn't resist. This is so far from the art form I love. The colors alone are grounds for vomiting. By the way.. crap isn't a style, it's just crap. "The Problem Solvers" on Cartoon Network. Be proud.
As repulsive as this show is, there are certainly worse. That's the state of animation today. Why would anyone waste their time watching this nonsense?
ReplyDeleteAt least it explains why cartoon network is cutting back on cartoons
ReplyDeleteAnd Michael, is this seriously not the worst out there? I can't conceive of worse aniation, design or colour sense then is on display here.
ReplyDeleteThis is what happens when you convince a hipster who can't draw, can't write, or can't act to go into animation.
ReplyDeleteAaiiiiii. What Joseph said.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Michael that, yeah, we could probably dig up worse, but I'd say this could be at the very least close top worse for "professional" work aired on television. I wanna know what illegal substances they slipped the suits who green-lit this so I can hand them some when I pitch a show.
I've never even heard of this until now. Why, Pat. Why must you soil my ignorance with this affliction.
crap, vomit, fascination... ite missa est!
ReplyDeletein french : le retour du refoulé...
:)
we have to understand that a big part of the "adult swim audience" are potheads, and to me this is a desperate strategy to get hold of that audience (c'mon they did it with aqua teen hunger force for how many years?) when you contrast this crap with decent animation like robot chicken and super jail (to me also pothead's shows) you know the's no excuse for cheap production of shit, i know animation is expensive but wtf...
ReplyDeleteVisually repulsive. Horrible voices. Atrocious colors. Was I the only one who couldn't tell which character was speaking? I stopped at the 45 sec. mark, just couldn't take any more.
ReplyDeletei think it's poetic that the PAPER RAD website just made my browser crash.. i think firefox vomited when it tried to load it. I'm sure paper rad will design the next Ottawa poster, and we will all be labeled short sighted.
ReplyDelete"These kid of today! Back in my day things were made with substance!" (as I shake my cane). Look, I'm by no means saying this stuff is good, but I also remember my dad berating me for playing that first Judas Priest record. I also hate the way new cars look (the '69 Camaro vs the 2010 Camaro...can the two even be compared?) Things change and let's hope there is room for everybody. If you want to start pointing fingers blame it on Filmation and DiC......just kidding.
ReplyDeleteI think this new show is looking pretty good. Also, all post-"101 Dalmatians" Disney is overrated. Discuss.
ReplyDeleteWhat in the nine circles of hell was that!?! Good lord, I cannot even begin to fathom what I just saw. I am so glad I don't watch Cartoon Network anymore.
ReplyDeleteOkay, Michael. What TV cartoon is worse than THIS?
ReplyDeleteIf it wern't for "Regular Show" I'd have given up CN by now.
To add insult to injury, the cutting is so fast and the images so saturated I can't see how a kid growing up with crap like this could not have A.D.D.
