Genuinely funny, creative, imaginative, and loaded with great characters, especially its main character, the ever-timid but goodhearted Irwin. If CN doesn't do something with that series then it's lost its frelling mind IMO. (Although it does deserve kudos for the "Ben 10" franchise. Not many networks would allow a re-imagining of one of its hits, but CN took the risk and it paid off handsomely.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-52258892323901764572008-10-22T11:44:00.000-07:002008-10-22T11:44:00.000-07:00...and the same flat, tired budgets, which beget f......and the same flat, tired budgets, which beget flat, tired cartoons.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-84677820470914793132008-10-21T19:19:00.000-07:002008-10-21T19:19:00.000-07:00I agree, the "Cartoonstitute" IS very pro-Cal Arts...I agree, the "Cartoonstitute" IS very pro-Cal Arts. The good thing is that the stuff I've seen isn't the same old Dexter's Lab/Mary Blair type of stuff we've all been overexposed to. BUT the shorts still seem very, "style over substance" nonetheless. The only thing studios need to be looking for is good storytelling with strong characters and an art style that isn't a pain in the butt to draw so we all don't have to take TESTS anymore. But of course, what Exec. has actual knowledge of the art of storytelling and animation?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-18538070251604679972008-10-21T18:17:00.000-07:002008-10-21T18:17:00.000-07:00Rob Renzetti and Craig McCracken?!?So we're now gu...Rob Renzetti and Craig McCracken?!?<BR/><BR/>So we're now guaranteed to see more of the CalArts incestuous workforce and even more of the same tired, flat style. <BR/><BR/>They should just annex that studio and farm out original programming to a bunch of smaller studios around town. Then they would have a better slate of programming. Sorry, buthe Cartoon Network studio is the biggest bust in television animation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-68823469575329985162008-10-21T17:40:00.000-07:002008-10-21T17:40:00.000-07:00Does anyone know any of the creators behind any of...Does anyone know any of the creators behind any of the 16 greenlit shorts?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-11963978606608434372008-10-21T16:37:00.000-07:002008-10-21T16:37:00.000-07:00Frankly, I just wish that they had more FULLY anim...Frankly, I just wish that they had more FULLY animated TV-movies in production. They only have two, while five of them are hybrids. And I think there is one completely live-action one.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09300079466263833808noreply@blogger.com
