But we aren't talking about new project. 'Ready Player One' is a new project based on a novel. It hasn't been media'd yet. We're talking about newly made episodes of Animaniacs which is a series that has been done. Previous attempts at bringing back older WB cartoons such as Looney Tunes failed because what made them fun before was lost in the quest to be all new and hip and edgy with the franchise. So I'm guessing, based on treatments of other shows, that any of the 'hidden' jokes and clever word plays that made them entertaining to watch from both a child's and an adult's point of view will end up sanitized. They might even decided to chibi and retard the entire cast like what was done with 'Teen Titans' . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.M. Matthews Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I'd like to see the chibi, do you have a link. I admit knowing shows in the 00s, it will be hard to make Animaniacs AS good, but is Spielberg involved in the reboot? That might be important...

J.M. Matthews Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I'll still watch it with an open heart and mind though. I'll believe its good or horrible when the animation get on TV. Until then I reserve judgement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viperxmns Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 Not that they have much to do with each other but one reboot that actually seemed to work is the new Ducktales. Hopefully they don't do anything drastic with Animaniacs and keep it faithful to the original series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, in the case of Teen Titans, their art went from this [disclaimer, it's from Deviant Art but is true to the general art of the original and shows everyone] : To this : The characters were also turned into caricatures of themselves for the new series in order to really bring in those SpongeBob numbers. Looney Tunes reboots were about the same. The characters were streamlined a bit, made simpler and instead of merry shorts, they had things like Bugs and Daffy as housemates for the main long term comedy storyline and every one lived in the suburbs. I think they did go back to a shorts format after a couple of seasons of that but the damage was done. I'm not saying it could be 100% awful per se, just that I'm not getting my hopes up. There's too many ways to lose the original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.M. Matthews Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 (edited) Yeah, but I don't think it will be anywhere near as bad as Teen Titans, It's a different team. That's how animation works, if its different teams animatiing it, don't expect the same project. I'm just glad they're still MAKING 2-d animation on television. That was looking like a close call of 3-D invasion in 2001. What if it ends up like Invader Zim, or anime, will you complain then? Yes, but your BIASED. You're only looking at the failures. What about TRON, what about Boondocks, What about the new Avatar: The Last Airbendre?? What abotu Rurouni Kenshin's new series?? hat about Invader Zim, which got a movie greenlit in case you didn't know, if you can bring back Zim, the King of Cancelation, you can resurrect any show.

J.M. Matthews Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 (edited) Come on now, be fair, you have to look at aesthetic success in analyzing animation, Not just failed attempts. And don't forget Ducktales, they put more emphasis on stories, but it's still a GREAT SHOW! Edited January 7, 2018 by Spindack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.M. Matthews Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Let me explain, when Swat Katz gets rebooted, it's going to be like Art Exhibit A, not Exhibit B ) that go show. It all depends on the pre-production skills. Until that's complete It can be a bit rude to overanalyze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is greed ONLY bad? What if someone's poorer than you. You think that person who ISN'T getting paid cares as little about money as you do? in media I'd rather make money, than rot in an African hut or prison, like Nelson Mandela or a starving child. That's how people get that rich, they ARE greedy. They WANT money to begin with. I might become rich like that some day, but I made that choice, I had to willingly say YES, I do want to get paid someday. He's no worse or better than a Miyazaki, a Otomo, John Woo, Tarantino, Kevin Smith, a Mamoru Oshii, an Eichiiro Oda, a Jamie Hewlett, a John Lasseter, a Michael Bay, or Orson Welles. They all signed a contract book, that ALLOWS them to make money. We don't know what ANY of those guys are like up close, especially these days, in THIS generation. They see the hate, and become a Spongebob, more defensive than EVER. They go back into their turtle introvert shells for safety. People like You scare the SHIT out of Spielberg and would never be able to work with them, because they ARE that critical. You really think that's going to get you a JOB??? Talking about people that way. He IS that. He IS a mainstream filmmaker, and mainstream filmmakers care about money and gains. He just doesn't get AS much criticism, but he gets more than he did when his power peaked. He's no different than he was in the 1990s, his films are just as good. But he's nicer about his own success than most recent Hollywood players, on the surface anyway. It SEEMS to work for him. How is this possible? His brand was established a long time ago, long before the web 2.0 and social media. He doesn't have to put himself out there like a Kanye, Bieber, Sheen, or Kardashian, who are technically just as good as what they do as him. But we're stuck smack dab in the middle in a generation of accusatory mentalities, cruelty, meanspiritedness, and hypercriticism. It works like this. You're a Spielberg, or if you work outside of L.A., in Paris or Texas, you're a "homophobically racist, pedophile nazi zealot" a Kanye, Michael Jackson, R Kelly, Mel Gibson, Michael Richards or Beiber, who get the majority of the unwarranted hate I bet YOU couldn't handle that many attacks, whoever famous that's making the rounds, not because you "are that bad" you're not. But because you struggle, that turns some people of a certain disposition on. They get a hard-on from bullying you online and at public events. Some pros don't have to do that anymore. Hollywood is glorified just as much now, but therer's that accusatory attitude professionals and amateurs think they "need" to have, you know, instead of actually writing a SCRIPT. Let's not WORK! Let;s just sit on our asses and WHINE about shit! And maybe get paid to do it! Not much, but SOME! There ISN'T a blockbuster movie that isn't made in the name of greed. That's why they're not drawing comics. They CARE ABOUT getting paid.. Some fields just pay better. Like Hollywood, or Silicon Valley, but the entire system IS based on greed. That doesn't make it not watchable Edited January 8, 2018 by Spindack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
