Cartoon/Western Animation General

It is a fun show. I like the main character and I found the jokes funny, but the animation I’m not too fond of, looks stilted and limited.

@Myoozik  
It was animated in Flash, wasn’t it?

@icey wicey 1517  
Yes, I’m pretty sure

@Myoozik  
Ah ok that would explain it.

Another thing I appreciate about Tangled the Series, which helps to differ it from other shows.
 
Rapunzel is powerful, and competant.
 
Now I like underdog heroes, I like the idea of the unlikely savior. But they’re seriously overexposed. Dipper’s terminal nerdiness and numerous character flaws, Twilight’s tendency to just fail horribly until the conclusion, Adora getting her ass kicked all the time and harboring enough self doubt to keep phycologists in work for decades, Aang and Korra rarely winning a fight without the Avatar state…
 
Rapunzel on the other hand rarely fails at anything. She’s multitalented, a physical beast, a good strategist, and highly charismatic. The show does a good job keeping it challenging for her with emotional stakes, competent villains and unfavorable odds, rather than by making her weirdly incompetent in order for the plot to work.
 
Sure, I don’t want EVERY hero to be some super prep, kinda privileged, overpowered pretty princess, but the opposite has become so established that it’s nice to have a hero who’s genuinely cool and dominant.

@Philweasel  
That’s an interesting stance :o

@Sparx  
She’s kinda like Goku. She’s goofy and charming, but the audience is frequently reminded that she will wreck your shit if you mess with her. Sure you can decry the fact that she gets a new OP powerup every week, but you can’t deny that it’s very cool watching her kick ass.
 
Also, glowy yellow hair!  

 
…and broody, grumpy frenemies with deep insecurities!  

@Philweasel  
she’s the best disney princess by far.

qua Teen Hunger Force was the prototypical Adult Swim stoner comedy show.

Zuchotti Manicotti is my favorite episode.

@Background Pony #A060  
I thought Space Ghost Coast to Coast was?

The Dora the explorer episode was awesome.

Apparently Jenny Slate is leaving Big Mouth because she feels a black person should voice the character she played.
 
I think that’s incredibly cruel. Forcing an actress of color to be associated with Big Mouth.

@TheHappySpaceman  
While I can kinda understand that, at the same time, I feel a person’s voice is what should matter in voice acting, not what race they are.
 
It’s like saying only a Japanese person can voice the Shredder in TMNT, and usually he’s voiced by a black American man. (James Avery, and Kevin Michael Richardson.) Nobody complains about that.  
Or it’s like saying only a person with an authentic southern accent can voice Applejack, Goofy, or something.
 
I dunno I have mixed feelings on that. I understand some don’t like “whitewashing” voice characters, (and it could lead to stereotypical voices, but then again, some authentic voices do that anyway) and having more minority voice actors would be great, but at the same time I don’t mind if say a black person voices a white person. (Kevin Michael Richardson voiced the Joker before, and his “normal” look was shown to be white.)  
So I dunno, it’s a slippery subject, especially with how racial relations have been recently.

@TheHappySpaceman  
Quite. Although, this just feels like they’re trying to get an PR for the show, because she never had a problem voice the character for 3 seasons- or maybe trying to leave it for any reason.
 
Although; It’s also funny how they just want to typecast actors as the skin color they are.
 

 
Glad, these came out before all this. :v

@Cyborg_pony  
Yeah, Phil LaMar was great.

Kristen Bell’s giving up her role of biracial Molly from Central Park.

@Vivace  
(Excerpt from news site.)  

 
Oh God, not that “privilege” shaming stuff again… Though, if the character is biracial, then wouldn’t it be equally bad if they voice her with somebody of the opposite race, but not mixed like the character is?
 
It’s like the more P.C. we get, the more we focus too much on a person’s race… It’s a slippery subject. Though, as I said I think it’d be nice if more minorities did get the opportunity to be in the animation industry, but a person doesn’t have to be from New York to do a NY accent.

Know what? I’m gonna shut my ignorant ass up.

@Cyborg_pony
 
Nah, he’d still be cool. The problem is only when white people do it.

Universal is developing a Magic School Bus movie. Thoughts?

@Dex Stewart  
I don’t see that working as a movie

@Beau Skunky  
@Cyborg_pony  
I think the obvious solution for this is just to cancel Big Mouth.
 
@Dex Stewart  
I’m with @northern haste. While I like the idea, how exactly would a Magic School Bus film even work? The bus and field trips were basically just a framing device to talk about science. Unless they go the edgier, action-packed route with it like they did with Dora.
 
The grown-up kids from Ms. Frizzle’s class meet for their twenty-year reunion, all having PTSD from almost dying multiple times on the teacher’s infamous field trips. They realize that she is still on the loose and decide to team together to put a stop to her once and for all before she hurts any more children.
 
…On second thought, maybe that’s too similar to It Chapter Two. :P

@TheHappySpaceman  
THe real question is, would Carlos be the one to deliver the big lame pun at the end of the movie? :P
