oh noI don't know if this was posted, but it looks like we'll be getting some actual Hilda merchandise this fall:

sounds like XD actually wanted it, they do more advertising for it, and maybe it lets them do stuff they couldn't do on normal disney? at least thats the impression i got from the tweets about it.
They likely figure it's low risk to put things on XD again. If they fail there then they will hit disney+ later and they will have the exact data of who watches it when it hits there.
get enough people hooked on series on Disney+ and maybe people will sub to XD for those series as new seasons air. People have shown time and time again that they are impatient :P
which reminds me, you all should go watch Milo Murphy's law so we can maybe get a third season after the new Phineas and Ferb movie.
hopefully its not as dire as one guy who got to see an advanced screening of the film described it
that leak did NOT paint a pretty picture of this movie
If you haven't seen Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway, the ride based on the Paul Rudish Mickey Mouse shorts, you can give it a check here, they did a great job on this one:
Are the Paul Rudish shorts over now? I dunno if a six season has been announced yet or not, but if they are ending on Carried Away as the final short and Runaway Railway as the final hurrah, that's a mighty strong point to end them on.

Idk seems weird for me to end the shorts here when the ride was just done. They also created a new episode for disneyland thats basically a clip show/advertisement for the park itself so i dont think its completely over
The whole crux of the episode was Stewie afraid of getting dumber with age, and being shown that his sibling were smarter when they were his age. The basic premise of the episode was the same as the one where Lisa was afraid she was going to turn dumb after a certain age because Homer and Bart were smart when they were her age. I'll give them credit for going a different Family Guy-ish route for the episode.
Every Family guy episode where they expect you to care or empathize with any of the characters is a failure.
Completely agree. Every character now feels like a cynical satire(?) of their former selves, and they really try to have heartfelt moments (which they undercut with a gross joke).
Brian being his usual asshole self berating Stewie for saving his life.
I just finished watching both parts of Infinity Train.
Goddamn, I love everything they've done with this. It's such a gripping show and the storytelling is spectacular. Part 2 in particular, especially it's back half, is a real unique sci-fi journey to watch.
I'm kinda upset it's an anthology show because I'd love to see Jesse and Lake again. Lake literally kicks ass. I imagine the next part will be about the Apex kids though.
Also, I've been catching up on Owl House and have also been enjoying it. The slight horror imagery shines nicely.

Damn that's a cool find. I would love to hear if the GI JOE character designers just said F___ it lets borrow that cool design the Conan team is working on.
Animation Production Is Still Going, Sometimes Slower, Amid Coronavirus Crisis
As Hollywood has ground to a halt over the coronavirus, one genre is still going strong, thought with some real strains on its schedules & system.

I hadn't considered the issues with uploading files to share with the rest of the team.
It's at least nice to production hasn't completely stopped for a lot of these shows.Animation Production Is Still Going, Sometimes Slower, Amid Coronavirus Crisis

Oh, I need a good laugh right about now. What are people vaguely arguing this time?
A guy called out the new ground art style for being overly gross and that being a veil for racist, homophobic, and other bigotry.
The call out post was in reference to the "cal art style" claims "let's call this newgrounds style". This caused his comments to be flooded about him supposedly being jealous of oni and calling him a failed person with a rejected pilot. After that people finally fought on he was making fun of it in reference to cal arts and started claiming cal arts style was inferior to new grounds style. And now newgrounds is trending on Twitter
I guess, this argument is weird. I feel like this thing is two groups of people who don't want to be criticized making broad generalizations that make the other group upset
its two glass houses throwing stones into each other constantly. both need to shut the fuck up
Whatever it is, it's going to have serious emotional intelligence and healing power.
All the more reason why I tune myself out when someone says something looks like the "Calarts Style" as a derogatory term for "I hate this." Especially when that statement holds no weight to begin with when it was originally a fabrication of some washed up pedophile of a cartoonist to justify his "This is wrong, I am right, & anything you say goes against what I believe." methodology to criticize the bulk of Disney animated productions from the 1990's.
It's pretty hilarious when nearly all the examples of "Calarts Style" don't actually come from the art school of the same name, and the show headrunners being criticized didn't even go to CalArts. :/
The moral of the story: THERE. IS. NO. CALIFORNIA. ARTS. STYLE!
It doesn't exist.
I don't really care much for those debates, there's a whole bunch of factors that feed into how an animation looks but hasn't what's been considered 'the cal-arts style' changed over the years? I remember an interview with an animator somewhere (It might have been one who worked on My Life As A Teenage Robot could be wrong), where he first heard the term it was originally people criticising styles that where similar to Glenn Keene's Disney Princess look, when they were in the industry it was people criticising 2000s shows like the one he worked on and Invader Zim with the big focus on shapes, there was a look criticised for looking like 'Flash Animation', then the last time I paid attention to it, the whole bean thing (do people still go on about the bean?).
I remember there was something that I learned back in the 1990's when I was reading a bunch of manga and watching a bunch of anime, and wondering why the anime didn't look exactly like the manga it was based on.
It's because there's really only one person who can draw like the manga artist, and that's the manga artist. And one lone manga artist can hardly dream of animating their own work.
An anime is made by a lead artist who draws like the lead artist (not the manga artist), and they have to come up with an art style for the animation that is within their own abilities that implies the style of the manga artist, while it must also be within the abilities of the entire team of artists working under the lead artist, that way the group of artists can put together some work that blends together in a reasonable timeframe.
If that need to get everyone on the same page working together as a team for one common goal results in a particular school of animation that many of the artists learned from becoming apparent, or some of the latest popular styles and trends becoming apparent... uhh... okay? That's kind of exactly how that works.
If you want 100% unique art, go to your local art exhibit and look at some paintings. If you just want moderately higher budgets so the animators can spend more time making their art look distinct, open up your wallet and pay more money for your animation. Oh, you as an individual can't fund an entire cartoon by yourself? Well, you're not going to solve the economics of animation by shitting on the animation that does exist.
