Animation/Cartoons Samurai Jack ends

[beansontoast]

Anything not from nipponland but also doesn't fall under the work of disney or pixar (turns out there's still a lot)

If you're watching any cool stuff (or hell, if you have any animations of your own) feel free to share with us. I'm gonna keep the thread updated on life support with stuff I come across and hopefully post some of my own stuff in future as well

Highly recommend the Gobelins YT channel. It's a french animation...thingy that has hundreds of original short animations. I think they're all done by students and the like, typically about 30 secs to 3ish mins long each. They can be hit and miss, but some of them are absolutely wonderful. Some favourites of mine:

Thanks for the heads up Kess these look pretty damn nice. I'm probably gonna dump a lot of short films later

popeye meets sinbad probably

yo so Popeye is pretty great overall (maybe the single best animated series of the 30s in terms of pure talent and animation?) but although Sinbad is like, top 3 Popeye shorts I cannot condone anyone placing it over Popeye meets Ali Baba. Plus overall I think that Willard Bowsky and the Fleischers' work on Talkartoons (and later Betty Boop) will forever be the highlights of their respective careers. Popeye might be the king of early slapstick but you wanna tell me his stuff can compare to most of the early Bimbo shorts, or Minnie the Moocher? That thing blows my gooseberry fool mind even to this day. I could write entire essays on individual decades of animation do not get me gooseberry fool started.

Also I'm pretty sure that's a Dead Leaves gif in the OP.

[beansontoast]

It is yeah, was posting a lot of my favourite gifs on my dash at the time without really looking into backgrounds. I was convinced from the sources it was Korean for some strange reason

gonna add a few more in its place

I am very excited for the return of Samurai Jack and I hope you all are too

I love animation and cartoons and it really makes me wish I stuck with art and put more time into developing my drawing but oh well.

Steven Universe is my life. Never have I loved a cartoon so much before.

Nothings stopping you for starting now friend

why is a rural japanese samurai child playing beatles music?

[beansontoast]

looking pretty dope, i mean i'd question the music and the fluent english but the macaque is talking as well so WHATEVER

If you wanna question sommet ask how these ones got made

[komodo joe]

I can buy talking animals and foreign countries speaking english but playing beatles music just sticks out as really weird to me. it's like when characters from the Disney renaissance reference other 90s movies or pop culture of the time. I mean, maybe the song isn't even in the movie and they just arranged it for the trailer, I dunno. I'll still see it because laika

Norm of the North on the other hand legit looks like one of those fake trailers they screen before movies to warn you about piracy or turning your phones off or something. it's even got Rob Schneider.

I quite like American Dad, even if the quality does go up and down a fair bit.

An American Dad best clips is pretty much a Roger best clips to be honest.

I'm also subscribed to various animation accounts on youtube like Filmcow, Shippiddge (for Starter Squad) and a few abridgers (though not really the same thing).

Nah I see where you're coming from. I know the points I made were to make it more appealing/accessible for a western audience but the reference was a lot less necessary and hurts the aesthetic more than it adds anything

thankfully i think its just subtle enough to slide with me

[komodo joe]

yeah it could be worse, at least they're not straight up namedropping actors and TV shows/movies or songs from the present day despite the setting being centuries in the past. can you imagine what kind of company would do that! hehhehehe

also I just watched the Capture the Flag trailer. jesus christ what is this film even supposed to be about?

[beansontoast]

Its about a guy learning how to surf no wait its about him working things out with family no wait its about him going to the moon NO WAIT what mission??

[komodo joe]

yeah dude we have kid sized spacesuits just in case any little eton mess snuck aboard our enormous gooseberry fool rocket even the lizard gets one

[beansontoast]

t-that one was originally for the test monkey I'm sure

[IronHide]

Rewatched my all time favourite; Transformers: the movie last night and it still amazes me how good it actually was for something they could have so easily gotten away with releasing any old crap.

The production quality is great, the soundtrack is superb and that cast (featuring Leonard Nimoy, Eric Idle and Orson Welles) is ridiculously good. I never tire of watching it.

I only recently found out that the animation studio also worked on Dragonball Z and Daft Punk's Interstellar 555.

Prime is such a badass
