I used to work at Nickelodeon. We used to head to public schools and offer them computers for their computer room if they allowed a screening of a roughly assembled episode of a new animated series. The room would lined with cameras and child psychologists. The second the child took their eyes off of the screen and started to play with the Mr. potato head doll they were given. The studio was given notes and time code exactly where that happened and it was sent back to alter the point where the child’s interest wained. Colors were adjusted, loud noises were added anything to mesmerize the child. Parents signed up to have their children defeated psychologically. This has been going on a long long time.

Based. It's imperative that humans be socioengineered from a young age in order to make them into maximalist consumers to support the global economy. Cash is God and you are its prophets.

This sounds like the start of a creepypasta.

>>149043787 (OP)
we want reptar!

>>149043787 (OP)
That explains Ren and Stimpy

>>149043913
You eeeeeeeeeeeeeeedddiot!!

People act like this is dystopian, but when they stopped doing this we got modern boring calarts therapy toon slop that kids don't even care about

>>149043787 (OP)
This is only sound bad if it was not a polishing of the already good product

>>149043787 (OP)
Nice fanfiction, retard

>>149043871
It probably is a creepypasta

>>149044533
Where's the scary?

I've been terminally browsing 4chan for 9 years and never seen it

>>149043819
Shut the fuck up tranny

>>149046094
creepypastas had died by then, at that point in time little kids took to five nights at freddy's instead of creepypastas and the rest of the internet thought SCP's were better than creepypastas (ironic because now it's the other way around, the SCP wiki has been in a steep decline for years)

>>149043787 (OP)
i hated when that happened. fuck you OP

Not just Nick

Why get that job if you're so cynical about it? How is making stuff that appeals to kids "defeating them psychologically"? Every good product has polishing and fine tuning to make them more engaging and satisfying. I know this isn't /v/ but should every video game's beta or alpha build be the final release? What you're describing is the improvement of cartoonfeel.

>>149043787 (OP)
This also happened during the making of Green Lantern TAS.

>>149047111
Beta build is more apt. Alphas are unfinished, the cartoon equivalent would be releasing the product as a storyboard animatic.

What are specific examples of this

>all these studies to find out kids are attracted to bright colors and noises
WOW
> Parents signed up to have their children defeated psychologically.
they signed up for a movie day, you act as if they knew it was for a study(did they? Was it on the fine print?)

>>149043913
John would never make cartoons like this

>The worst test was the day we showed kids test footage of an earlier version of Angela Anaconda...
>Rather than the character models being plain paper cut outs, they were hyper realistic early CG models made with secretive technology provided by an unknown source
>The children screamed when they saw the hyperrealistic characters
>Angela herself cried hyperrealistic blood and her lines were all reversed with a loud reverb
>Angela Anaconda made it onto TV anyway

>The test audience's reception of Weasel Patrol was overwhelmingly negative. One nine-year-old boy stated that he'd rather watch a blank television screen.

If you ever wondered why Spongebob gradually became more spastic and fast-paced over time, this is exactly why. It's a bad result of networks chasing after fleeting attention spans of kids in a unwinnable battle against social media brain rot.

The 12 principles?

>>149043787 (OP)
The psychologists must've taken a break making this one

>>149043787 (OP)
Is this why cartoons suck now? This kind of research sounds expensive.

>>149043871
Sounds like focus testing

This is a genuinely insane way to review something

this NEVER happened.

How else would they keep SpongeBob fresh and entertaining for 16 seasons straight

>>149043787 (OP)
Then how did Nick have a few slower moving shows in the 90s like Doug and Hey Arnold?

Good writing. They'd only pump up the ADD factor if the kids were bored or disengaged enough to press the button.

>>149043787 (OP)
ok

You copied this idea from the “Distractatron,” a real thing they use for test screenings when making Cocomelon
>For anyone older than 2 years old, the team deploys a whimsically named tool: the Distractatron.
>It’s a small TV screen, placed a few feet from the larger one, that plays a continuous loop of banal, real-world scenes — a guy pouring a cup of coffee, someone getting a haircut — each lasting about 20 seconds. Whenever a youngster looks away from the Moonbug show to glimpse the Distractatron, a note is jotted down.
