Are those pencil tests for the films or for some sort of animated shorts?
My question about Western Animation is, why did the era of Creator-driven cartoons kickstart all at once? The industry was absolutely dominated by studios, with only rare artistes operating (at least in a commercial, non-indie capacity), like Ralph Bakshi. Mostly it was people operating within a studio system, even on television, and those studios had a house style and it was the studio's idea of what got made, while creators merely grappled with how to make it. Creators could branch off to create their own studios (like Don Bluth in film or Joe Ruby and Ken Spears in TV), but that was the model.
Then in 1987 or so there was a change. I'd argue The Simpsons was the first, although it was a joint Fox product it started the idea of the creator making a pitch and carrying it through to fruition, which you saw get cloned on Nickelodeon starting with Nicktoons in 1991, on Disney starting with (depending on your definition) either Raw Toonage, Bonkers, or Gargoyles in the early 90s, and on Cartoon Network with Dexter's Lab in 1996.
Why the change? Because the new networks needed original programming?
I think it's a perfect storm of things, a combination of networks wanting more original stuff, the 80's class of creators moving into the industry and making names for themselves, staying in contact with their friends and getting to places where they had the ability to make personal projects and pitches. Studios and networks started offering better budget packages for animation. A lot of shifts and changes were happening at the same time, not necessarily all connected, but mostly lending themselves to the demand for more content.
I think we're currently in a really great wave of creator based stuff because of the generation of creators inspired by the creators of the 80's and 90's having access to the Internet and tools that are so readily available, with so many outlets to create, share, build, and reach out or get discovered.
Hand-drawn.So let's get some basic getting to know you questions.
CG or hand-drawn animation?
Batman: The Animated Series.Favorite animated series?
Hmm... probably Batman: The Animated Series or X-Men.Favorite theme song?
It changes often but right now it's Beauty and the Beast.Favorite hand-drawn movie?
Toy Story... No, wait, Ratatouille... No, wait, The Incredibles... One of those three!Favorite CG movie?
I doubt the creator-driven era will ever end now, just because of how easy it is for one person with a computer to make their own animated short and get noticed, even without the studio systems continuing to encourage creator-driven nature, i'm just curious about why that switch flipped when it did.
Like Cartoon Network was all-in on creator-driven from the beginning, despite Turner's buyout of Hannah Barbera meaning they could have easily stuffed the network with a new Scooby Doo or a new Flintstones. They didn't *need* creator-driven, they chose that.
So let's get some basic getting to know you questions.
I suppose I'd go with hand drawn but we're forgetting STOP MOTIONCG or hand-drawn animation?
The SimpsonsFavorite animated series?
Darkwing DuckFavorite theme song?
The Road to El DoradoFavorite hand-drawn movie?
Wreck-It Ralph or Ratatouille damn, I can't choose...Favorite CG movie?
So let's get some basic getting to know you questions.
Okay that's it. I hope.
"Young Justice" could still be renewed for another season if its viewership numbers on Netflix will increase to 300,000 every month, FX News Call reported. Netflix is still not satisfied with the numbers "Young Justice" is getting so the company has not ordered a third season yet. It remains to be seen whether "Young Justice" viewership numbers will still increase that could pave the way for its third season.
So let's get some basic getting to know you questions.
I like both, but prefer the 2-D look. I think stuff like TV Paint for smaller shows and movies, and CGI in the style of Paperman is the future though. Anything else is too expensive in this day and age.CG or hand-drawn animation?
Tough question. Probably Batman TAS/TNBAFavorite animated series?
Probably also from Batman TAS. Never been a huge fan of theme songs though. The shorter they are, the more time I have watching the show.Favorite theme song?
Probably Waltz with Bashir.Favorite hand-drawn movie?
The Incredibles.Favorite CG movie?

Love this short as well, but just noticed a mistake in the animation! The placement of the hammer and the trophy overlap in a rather odd way.That was sweet.

4. Atlantis: The Lost Empire. I just love the aesthetic of the movie (even if the story is a bit lackluster)
I guess this is the best place to give more exposure to an underrated raunchy french comedy movie called Lascars

Okay everyone, what visual style from a animated feature or show did you enjoy the most?
For me, Foster's is really nice with a mix of wacky lines and shapes to make the characters stand out.
Another visual style I love is the one from Batman: The Animated Series. The dark deco artstyle is a good mix of modern day (back then) and the roaring 30s. And the style really make batman look so sharp and cool. I mean look at this.
And for batman:

Batman TAS because of that dark Deco and Fleischer Superman-esque Bruce Timm art style. So good.
I also like Genndy Tartakovsky's Clone Wars in motion. It really complimented the action scenes.

Never seen Atlantis, how is the story?
Wow, that looks amazing. Looks like something that would be animated at Gobelins, and it wouldn't surprise me if the animator did go there.just watched the french animated film of Dofus Livre...amazing animation and art style

I recently checked out Extraordinary Tales on Netflix. It's a retelling of some of Edgar Allen Poe's short stories in animated form. I don't think I've ever seen an animation style quite like it before, and each short story has a style of it's own. Definitely recommended.
That Tron show is a visual feast.

The creators wanted to stop there, right? I remember looking it up after I didn't see a season 3 and the only info I could seem to get was that the team just liked ending at 52 episodes.
It was only planned for 2 seasons from the start.
