My goodness at Samurai Jack S1 on the Blu Ray set.

It looks like it was animated yesterday. The amount of detail in the art is miles and miles beyond the poorly deinterlaced, mastered from analog component video, DVDs! This is stunning stuff, highly recommended. One of the largest upgrades from DVD to BD that I have ever, ever seen.

High hopes for Batman: TAS!

Anybody else watching Mike Judge Presents: Tales from the Tour Bus? I don't like country music at all but Judge's show is funny as hell.

So uh I just watched The Last Unicorn for the first time.

I can't believe I never saw it till now...it certainly was an experience. I still don't know if I consider it a good film outside the music and animation though.

The other day I watched Treasure Planet and...I am 'divisive' about it: On the one hand, it has great animation and visuals, but the story and plot just felt all over the place? I dunno I think I just found the pacing kind of odd. It's hard for me to like it overall but far as animation goes it is a wonderful showcase.

Netflix Aquires Animated Feature From 'Despicable Me' Co-Creator
Netflix has acquired exclusive global rights to the animated pic "Klaus," the directorial debut for Sergio Pablos, who wrote the story and is the co-creator of "Despicable Me."

The all-star voice cast includes Jason Schwartzman, Rashida Jones, J.K. Simmons, and Joan Cusack.

The film is a Christmas family comedy that tells the story of a desperate postman who inadvertently brings about the genesis of Santa Claus. The screenplay is written by Pablos, Zach Lewis, and Jim Mahoney, based on an original story by Pablos.

It's the film that had that amazing trailer drop a while back:
I'd embed it, but the official link is not on YouTube.
https://vimeo.com/126287950

This is the biggest investment in US 2D animation since Winnie the Pooh in 2011.

A while ago a CGI film about a monster family was announced with just a concept image. I can't find the film now. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

The best animated show, and really the best TV show in general, is coming back next year. I'm talking about the Venture Bros. of course.

Is it confirmed for 2018? I didn't hear that but I desperately want it to come out soon.

Was it maybe Welcome To My Life? It was a TV pilot but it fits the other criteria.

Nice thread! I love animation, but somehow don't watch shows atm, even if I usually enjoy them. I'm very interested in animated shorts. For that, I recommend the National Film Board of Canada and it's websites. They've put a ton of great animated shorts online. And they often have artists from all over the world produce films with and/or for them. Random example: Jeu by Georges Schwizgebel. The planning that must've gone into this is crazy. And I like how it plays with the seriousness of the culture industry (that it's a part of). Abstract art, architecture, gardening, sports, galleries, painting, sculpture, concert and their respective spectators and audiences, all part of a big and fun, and often too serious dance.

They have a Youtube channel, too. But the official website is also worth checking out. Just be sure to click on "animation" when you're browsing their archive. animation www.nfb.ca (en) // www.onf.ca (fr)

Haven't read the article, but I've been saying this for months. How can a movie be considered live-action if every single character is CGI-animated and mostly everything else is CG? I can see how Avatar got away with it because a lot of the cast were human actors or at least motion-captured humans. But every single character in Lion King is a talking animal. The new Lion King isn't a live-action remake so much as it is a CGI-animated remake with live-action settings and traditional live-action camera movements. I mean, I have no doubt that it will look amazing. It's just a weird middle ground for the movie to be in.
That article is horrible. Screw the stupid either/or categories of the academy. I like the idea of film style as a scale, in which abstraciton is on the one end. And mimesis/reality is on the other. Most films are probably somewhere in the middle. I mean, hybrid movies have been super common for a while now. They should've changed their award system with Jurassic Park. Maybe a stronger focus on awards for departments, and not film genre? Guess I'm not the right person to improve the oscars, just wanted to say that the current system is stupid.

Do we have a list of pre-2008 western animated shows that are in High Definition?

The other day, i was surprised to find out that shows like the original Teen Titans (2003), Kim Possible (2002) and What's New Scooby-doo? (2002) were made natively in HD.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJ_SY-lKZgI

Also, Disney has remastered some of their older 80s and 90s shows in HD.

I'd love to see more older Western cartoons make the jump to HD and 4K. Especially given that Batman: TAS will be getting a BD release next year.

That redone Goof Troop title card looks so off, though.

I love watching the progress shots they've posted with Klaus. I wish them all the best, as that team deserves one of their projects to soar.

Here's hoping Giacomo's Secret will be put into production one of these days.

I completely forgot about that movie. Is it getting a limited theatrical release?

Working on a project where i'm documenting creator-driven animation on the major networks (FOX, Nickelodeon, Disney TV, Cartoon Network, and Adult Swim) mostly in how the shows are related to each other (like how Craig Bartlett was a Rugrats alumni before he created Hey Arnold, that sort of thing, and how Klasky and Csupo in turn got their start on The Simpsons). Trying to get it out by the end of the year.

I've done it in the past, but it was just a jpg and it was confusing as hell, so now i'm taking the time to make a PowerPoint of it.

Not that I know of. It's premiering this Friday on Nick at 7 pm in whatever your local time is. Yeah I completely forgot about it till I listened to the latest Nick Animation podcast where they had the cast and creators discuss it. Oddly enough I didn't hear the premiere date during the episode. And I didn't find out until I was watching Nick and saw an an advertisement for the movie lol.

The Goof Troop Title Card's done in flash and if you compare the remastered intro to the old one, you'll notice how some footage are missing.

While we're at it, the OG "Scooby-Doo Where Are You?" has also been remastered

I've been searching for a while, but have yet to find anything. Does anyone know of a modern cartoon that carries a similar animation style to the classic Chuck Jones/Tex Avery pictures? I love the organic feeling of them, the humour and the methodology behind them, and it's a real shame that seemingly nothing modern follows in those footsteps.

Three minutes in...



"You buzzed?"

Nope. Only you, Shaggs.

I remember there being a rumour that that, the first series of The Flintstones, the entirety of Yogi Bear, and the 1960's episodes of The Jetsons were going to be on 4K BD, but it seems like nothing came of it. So far, they're only on plain old DVD. I HATE WHEN STUDIOS DO THAT! Remaster a show in HD only to put in on an old SD format.

Speaking of, it would be great to see Zombie Island, Witch's Ghost and Alien Invaders to be brought over to HD and beyond. They're the best Scooby Doo has ever looked.

Hey, so if anyone is interested, the first hour long TV movie of the Big Hero 6 show is going to be playing at 8 PM on Disney XD. I can't say in the biggest fan of the movie, but it piqued my interest because it's being made by Mark McCorcle and Bob Schooley, the two creators of Kim Possible.

Here's a sneak peak:


And here's what the characters look like:

Christmas 2019, so a ways out for sure. I don't even think it's entered key animation yet, dispite the trailer (which was mostly for investors).

Preview wasn't that interesting.

Though this reminds me, I should probably check out the Tangled series again. Last I saw, there were 6 episodes, but now it seems there are 16. The art is gorgeous, but the stories are pretty typical so far, with Eugene getting the stupid stick. Still, it's a shame it doesn't seem to be getting much attention.

The new Paul Rudish Mickey Mouse shorts maybe? There's a really fun energy to them that at times reminds me of Avery. A new short came out the other day actually.



Not sure if anyone else planned to, but I want to make an OT for the shorts since they were popular at the old place with nice organized thumbnail links to the old shorts, but I've just been so busy and haven't had the chance. Unless you guys think it's not necessary and would be better suited for the thread?

There's a complicated answer for that. Might want to read this 4chan thread from two weeks ago. There's a lot to parse there about how Warner Archive decides what cartoons to re-release and distribute and when from someone who works in that department.

Hah! i didn't know there was an unfilthered, uncensored one.

What do i mean uncensored?



Notice the out of context scene with the frog? That's a nod to the censored Thundercats intro that edited out a bit where Panthro shows his weapon by pasting an out of context scene in it due to the era hard oposition to showing nunchucks in cartoons.

8 seasons, but you can start anywhere. It's episodic, so other than minor characters returning from old episodes, there's no real orders watching the show. Some people thought Season 1 was rough & recommend starting at Season 2. I disagree, but that seems to be the consensus.
