I've seen the following animations, For Better or For Worse, The Boondocks, Baby Blues, Dilbert, Animal Crackers, The Peanuts, Garfield, Martin Mystery, Team Galaxy, Code Lyoko, Shuriken School and The Last Airbender.
Most Favorite: Night Hood: Exploits of Arsene Lupin
Edit: I do like anything related to Matt Groening.

Animation? There's something delightful and simple about cartoons in the 30s and 40s. I love Popeye a lot. I would love to see an Epic Popeye game.

I've seen a couple episodes of Phineas and Ferb. It's not bad, but it's very formulaic: Phineas and Ferb come up with something awesome to do for the benefit of somebody else, the sister gets bent out of shape and comes up with hare-brained schemes to get them busted, Perry goes on his secret agent missions against Doctor Doofenshmirtz (I'm probably not spelling that right), then it all wraps up with a "where's perry?" "grr" "oh hi perry!" Props to the show's writers for lampooning the standard-fare in one of the episodes, though, where the sister says it all with an eye-roll before it actually happens. The thing about P&F is that it has nearly 10 different " once an episode quotes" that will be said throughout the show, which will be lampshading, parodying, inverting and subverting throughout the episodes. So more than once episode has to be seen to actually hear some of the jokes. Also if the recent episodes I'm soon are the newest ones, some of the plots don't have Candice trying to "bust" the boys. There's also quite a few adult jokes and of course the SONGS! S.I.M.P. Squirrls In My Pants. AGLETS!!! And something videogame related. |

I still watch YuGiOh! (albeit via YouTube) and the Simpsons. As for the cartoons I used to watch in my youth, I'd like to watch them, but I just don't have the time nowadays.

So anyone (in the US) watch Sym-Bionic Titan? I thought it was pretty good.
Someone uploaded the first episode to TouTube but CN went and took it down (It's probably online somewhere . . .)

Cartoon Brew's funny. Because the people there are so goddamn bitter about cartoons. 'Tintin's running pose is a little off THIS IS A DISGRACE HOLLYWOOD RAPING OUR CHILDHOODS WAAAAAH'
Yeah I still check it out now and then to see if there's any awesome (foreign) animated flicks coming out on DVD or whatever, but the people there are irritating to say the least.

As usually, Something Awful lampooned their target with great success. Animation snobs, like old school comic or videogame snobs, just make me shake my head.
Though I have to wonder, has Secret Squirrel really not gotten a DVD release? That is a travesty.... assuming the 90s shorts would be included
On the subject of what animation I'm digging at the moment, I'm on a Disney binge to celebrate Epic Mickey consisting of old shorts and movies. Amazing quality, especially for the time.

Well, finally saw Toy Story 3 last night. Woody's flailing running animation still makes me laugh
Don't know why people found the ending sad to the point of crying though, thought it was a pretty happy ending. I mean yeah the kid has to let go of his good ol' toys, but by giving 'em to the little girl atleast they get to be played with. Just like Pokemon NEED to beat the shit out of each other dem toys need to be played with. Better then rotting away in the attic.
Though I'll be honest I expected the movie to go Plague Dogs the moment they accepted their fate in that incinerator scene.

It's sad and happy at the same time. On the one hand they get to stay together and keep being toys, and on the other they have to say goodbye to the owner they've dedicated their entire lives to and fought insurmountable odds to stay with several times. The closest human analogy I can think of would be getting married and starting a family of your own, but never being able to see your parents again.  |
