Western Animation |OT| Yabba Dabba Doo!

- Start date
A miniseries probably works better for this sort of story. The weird part was always that we didn't actually know which it would be for so long.
I can't wrap my head around people who don't like these Mickey shorts. They're literally the only time I've laughed and enjoyed stuff starring just Mickey and/or Minnie. They feel much more like characters in these as opposed to just blank corporate mascots.
That was so wholesome ^_^.
I've never thought that i would enjoy this shorts so much, it makes me even forget that disney is our new cultural overlords lol
Tweet thread from a woman in the animation industry (Kelly Turnbull of Manly Guys Doing Manly Things fame) talking about her experiences in reaction to Tuca and Bertie not being renewed. Including one time a guy explaining a storyboard reached a joke about a Force handjob and paused for her to laugh. She didn't, so he proceeded to explain in great detail what the Force is, assuming she didn't know, and why it was funny to use the Force to give a handjob. Then complained this is why he doesn't like talking about his show with women. And there's also the expected "you didn't get this job because we keep women away from this known sexual harasser you would have been working with".
I should've really watched Tuca...
The first episode strangely put me odd though. And I've watched tons of weird pilots before.

Very high recommendation on Tuca and Bertie, it's upbeat, weird, hilarious but at times touching. And the wild animation styles alone make it worth a watch.
Episode 4, the Sex Bugs, being a particular highlight for me.
I think that's the thing, the complaints against the show are basically "Not my Mickey/Minnie/Donald/Goofy/etc" that and "It's like some edgy Cartoon Network crap" which is just bonkers to me. It's like how you'd see 4Kids defenders.

Yeah I'll work on it this week and have it up the morning of
The release for this show is rather unorthodox, and it came out with little fanfare.
Troubling, but I'm going to check it out.
let me know if it's any good. Trailer didn't make the show look interesting at all so my plan is just to watch She-Ra and infinity train next month instead :P
I actually didn't realize that this production had a ton of baggage. Sheesh!
Shame, as I'm up to episode 20, and it's pretty good so far.
I finally got around watching the first episode, and while i still don't know exactly how to feel about the series (tuca seems to be a character that can get a little annoying in future episodes), the show is really unique in it's presentation, i loved how vibrating everything is, specially the soundtrack.
Edit: just finished Ep 3, after being mixed on the series i think this episode finally sold me on it, i love the editing and surrealism of this show so much.

I'm only 14 episodes into Twelve Forever and it absolutely deserves a second season (unless the season finale is so complete that it works as a series finale, but I haven't gotten that far).
The show is a lot of fun nonsense, but that nonsense is framed as allowing the characters to deal with emotional issues in really abstract ways. There's a lot of topics I didn't expect them to address.
It also has the added bonus of having LGBTQ+ representation. There's a male/male relationship that's pretty adorable.
Also, does the design/voice of Butt Witch (no, really) remind anyone of Him from the Powerpuff Girls?

That was the first thing I thought of when Butt Witch (he sounds like Matt Berry, come to think of it) first appeared, but less drag queen and more malicious viper.
And I finished watching the series, and the two episodes that spoken to me were when the gang were preparing to go to a school dance (and how it ended on a major downer with Reggie kind of screwing it up for everyone), and the episode where it brings up Reggie's father and how it explains the subject matter of a parent, who unconditionally loves his child, doesn't want the responsibility (and that hurt me on a deep, emotional level).
yeah... I knew she-ra was today, wasn't expecting to see the new eps of ladybug when I went to find she-ra.
I'm watching ladybug instead lol.
So this is hard to answer.
On one hand the show is decently cliche, and mostly monster of the week.
On the other hand it actually does a good job about building a large cast, and despite not typically being a fan of love triangles I enjoy the triangle in Ladybug.
It's slowly building up the world in general, but it doesn't move the main plot as much as I would like. It's obvious it's popularity has resaulted in them planning to have like 6 seasons for it (6 real seasons not netflix seasons which these episodes today say season 4 but it's actually the first half of season 3)
But overall I enjoy most of the cast, and I like how corny cat noir is :P
I think watching some random episodes of season 2? (It's the one with the bee lady) didn't do the series any favor lol. I will give the show a shot, I'm sure watching from the beginning will make me enjoy the series a lot more. But i have to say, from the little i saw the art style and character design seems really good.
yeah watching it in order will help. They build up the characters over time and actually evolve relationships
(they actually have paired off some characters across the episodes)
That all being said... BOY HOWDY is the episode Party Crasher obviously out of order. (third to last episode of the new season)
It must actually be somewhere near the end of season 3... at least 5-10 episodes after where it was placed at the min. I was so lost in the second half of that episode lol.
I haven't seen an episode out of order this badly since season 7 of scrubs where Dr. Cox has hair, then doesn't have hair and then they aired the episode where he buzz cut his head lol.
Other cartoons that had this problem were Steven Universe season 1 and recently the season 2 of Ok K.O, but luckily this happened to episodes that were light on plot and focused on the slice of life comedy ("Say Uncle" for example aired on the Season 2 of SU but still used the gems old designs).
Finished Twelve Forever. I really liked it overall, but I had some issues.
-Too many of the inhabitants of Endless were either annoying or stupid. This felt intentional, but it didn't make me care all that much when Butt Witch tried to hurt them. I really liked Mack and Beefhouse's relationship, but they weren't in the show very much.
-Butt Witch was also underused. Her design and voice were so much fun I wanted to see more of her. Also, disappointed Twelve never found out that
but they might be wanting to save that for season 2 (which we probably won't get because of the production issues).

she accidentally created Butt Witch by throwing a bunch of puberty books into a toxic volcano

One of the people in charge of production basically laid out that another season is possible if the show proves to be popular on Netflix, but it'll have to be produced by a different studio if greenlit.
Well, at least this is a good sign, we are far from reaching saturation.
For example, some days ago I've discovered that aside from Jorel's Brother we have another brazilian cartoon airing on Cartoon Network called Oswaldo, and it's so cool to see the animation industry of your country growing like this. Also, i really liked the show:
Don't worry about that, there are much more shows yet to release lol
Good tip. I could've done recordings but it sounds like it's an experience meant to be binged anyway. The regular air time would get in the way of my Three Houses binge.
