cartoon shit ?
where have all the saturday morning cartoons gone? scratch that, where has all the animation in total gone? i guess you could say that it is all in japan. or that the shows being produced in the usa currently, have no creativity? anyone remember "Father of the Pride" ? or how horrible 'The Batman' is?
loonatiks? ug. just sounds like a bad idea, especially because the last bunch of looney tunes movies are just total crap. no one realizes that the few people that made bugs, bugs, were tex avery, chuck jones and others, but its sad to see great characters ruined. the new duck dodgers series is horrible as well. 'tiny toons adventures' was actually watchable and funny, but 'baby looney tunes' is just plain bad.
there are a few new shows, like Winx club and W.i.t.c.h. , but they are both not from usa. adult swim has a bunch of new shows. adult swim comedy has mostly usa produced shows and adult swim action which is mostly anime. WB and Cartoon Network and in a lesser extent Fox/ABC Family and Disney/Nick seem to be the only channels creating any new animation. except for some animation on TNN/Spike tv , which now seems to be all cancelled (stripperella, ren and stimpy, gary the rat). mtv now seems to be getting back in on the act with wonder showzen, too bad its a very long way from the MTV Animation Studios they once had.
its shit that mtv killed off what really took them into a lot of homes. with beavis and butthead or liquid television or cartoon sushi and aeon flux, the head! the maxx, Downtown, brothers grunt and others. mtv really introduced a lot of culture in the animation , that is now missing in the culturally devoid reality shows currently airing now.
times change, animators from mtv studios move on, they create thier own studios, they produce thier own shows, they even continue doing animation work for the mtv music video awards!
it seems that shows about film and animated shorts are always doomed, be it liquid television on mtv, or Exposure on Scifi, or Eye Candy on Techtv. for every one of these shows, more fans of animation are created. every time an animated show is cancelled, another person tries their skill at animating. for every liquid television or eye candy that is cancelled, another Spike and Mike or 'The Animation Show' festivals are started all over the country to showcase new, interesting, foreign and domestic, crazy internet flash, film-student or indy animation studio's latest and greatest work. hopefully Spike and Mike's animation festival will stop being shown in seedy bars and start showcasing at independant film theaters.
