Thread 149759307

The first one will be released with The Cat in the Hat in February, according to the LinkedIn of this guy who works at Warner Bros. Pictures Animation

https://www.linkedin.com/in/tcollins225

For what reason? WB is bleeding money as it is. Shareholders better fucking push back at this, nobody wants to see this boomer crap.

>>149759671
Sure thing, Disney shill

>>149759671
>For what reason?
To fight against the zoomer myth that Bugs and Daffy are a gay couple

>>149759307 (OP)
Nice, but it's just one short...?

>>149759307 (OP)
huh? a flintstones movie? grand dad?

>>149759992
Besides Scooby Doo, The Flintstones is one of the only HB brands that's still relevant because of the vitamins and cereal.

>>149759671
Because Looney Tunes is one of WB's most beloved franchises...?

>>149760185
they're barely involved with the cereal anymore, the only thing they're on is the box, just look at the commercials

>you have to pay a ticket to see the absolute slop that cat in the hat will be to see new looney tunes

>>149760241
Playing it in front of a deliberately shitty movie sounds like sabotage.

>>149759671
brand

They try this every few years

>>149759671
Is that you David Zaslav? Come the fuck on, The Day the Earth Blew Up proved how great modern Looney Tunes stuff could be when put in the right hands. I’d much prefer stuff like this over overhyped shit like Coyote Vs. ACME.

>>149759671
>WB is bleeding money as it is.
You seem to have 3 year out of date data

>LTC with piss gloves Bugs
no thanks. I've got better stuff to do than watching that dreck, like fucking nothing.

>>149761898
This isn't from the Looney Tunes Cartoons team, it's from WB's feature animation division

>>149759307 (OP)
They'll probably make two or three before shutting it all down.

>>149759671
so Zaslav, when are you going to merge your company to either Paramount, Amazon, Sony, Lionsgate, Universal or even Disney?

Kino

>>149759671
ok Disney manchild

>>149759671
MeTV Toons is getting over 20 million views for Looney Tunes and everything else they air (baring stuff like In The Beginning: Bible Stories and Captain Planet which get less views), there is demand, MeTV Toons and the recently released Blu-Rays prove this.
>>149760185
And SiIvaGunner.
>>149760260
Looney Tunes has always been like this, back in the days of block booking as well as the 1950s people went to the theater just to watch the cartoons they were that good.

Theres a reason why only a few live action movies from Warner Bros are remembered but everyone knows about the cartoons.
>>149762543
And thats a good thing.

Just be aware that C11 doesn't apply to features due to Canada's lack of feature industry.
>>149762584
At this point Disney is the most likely candidate from the buyout reports that have been going on.

>>149761795
The Day the Earth Blew Up was a disappointment at best and the film bombed because Katie Rice worked on the film.

If they wanted the right hands they would've give it to Telecom (TMS) instead of having them suffer on Rick and Morty, NOT SHITTY ASS TONIC DNA as they're only as good as the smartest kid on the short bus and that kid happens to be a vegetable, as Titmouse and Snipple are even worse.

And by Telecom I mean Toshihiko Masuda and Kenji Hachizaki, NOT TAKASHI SANO!!!

>>149759307 (OP)
Now watch kiddos as the "animation community" will shill these and then immediately forget about it for a month and then go and blame WB/Zaslav and the internet instead of getting off Twitter and seeing it themselves and getting mad when WB scraps 2D all together.

>>149762802
shut the fuck up Famicom

>>149762802
>the film bombed because Katie Rice worked on the film
yeah it had nothing to do with the lack of marketing and them outsourcing the distribution

>>149762821
He's not wrong TMS would make some fantastic shorts and way better than the "cartoonists" here.

>>149762823
We're in the age of self marketing, Ghibli didn't bother marketing The Boy and The Heron and it still made $294.2 million in the Japanese box office, people just hate Katie Rice for stealing Atsuko Tanaka's job on Animaniacs'2020 that much.
>>149762830
This, Takashi Sano is just a hack.

>>149762816
It's 3DCG like those Road Runner shorts over a decade ago.

>>149762912
That's even worse damn. I guess more people should've showed up to the movie instead of complaining online.

>>149762821
This post marks when the thread died.

Kudos to WB for actually making a smart decision. This is gonna be a much better introduction to the Looney Tunes for kids than a live-action legal comedy

>>149763510
Calm down it's just one short

>>149762802
Katie was only a story consultant, you’re acting like she directed the whole thing

Tonic DNA‘s fucking awesome, I don’t know what you’re going on about. Snipple is hit or miss, and Titmouse tends to usually be alright

TMS/Telecom probably isn’t ever returning to the world of Looney Tunes, so keep dreaming. If you ask ME, for future LT projects, they should do away with outsourcing completely and give someone state-side an actual fucking job

>>149763510
Coyote vs Acme looks harmless desu

>>149763529
And Katie Rice being involved in any capacity made everyone running and screaming to the hills she is that hated.

No, Tonic DNA fucking sucks, they can't time, pose and settle for shit and they're the exact definition of "Smartest kid of the short bus that also happens to be a vegetable".

Snipple is just discount Tonic DNA, all of Tonic DNA's problems but worse and cheaper then Tonic DNA.

Titmouse is just cheap chintzy stilted pose to pose tweening garbage that shouldn't be in business, they're the worse of the 3.

The way Warner Bros treated TMS as of late I don't blame them wanting to refuse to deal with them, nobody wanted Tower of God and Cosmic Samurai and nobody wanted a Shenmue and Rick and Morty anime.

>>149763528
It's one short but it's attached to a movie kids will actually go see. As opposed to Coyote vs Acme, which is obviously going to bomb (and would've bombed even if WB released it themselves)

>>149763652
>Smartest kid of the short bus that also happens to be a vegetable
Holy autism

>>149763682
Those were Charles Solomon's words about Tonic DNA after all.

>>149763529
She did do the story and the writers usually have final say these days. So it's her fault kinda. Katie completely tanked her reputation after Animaniacs and pretty much left the industry to raise her son.

>>149763690
Do not reply to me again

>>149763711
I'll reply to you instead to double the autism and ruin your day. Now you got 2 schizos to be paranoid about MUHAHAHAHA.

>>149760241
Just sneak in after watching some other movie.

>>149761874
Last I checked their stock price is still down 50% from when Zaslav bought it.

>>149763652
>Tonic DNA fucking sucks
It’s not the best quality and I’m not linking the animator so you can go harass them, but this is a pencil test from the movie.

These animators clearly give a shit about these characters

>>149759307 (OP)

But Twitter told me tha Zaslav hates the Looney Tunes

>>149760234
>Behold my newest ad campaign.
>We'll have an entourage of girls bully another girl
>One of these girls is into feederism.
>She'll look at a girl not fat enough and state "We need to fix this."
>The girls all get in her bedroom while making a mess
>The girls forcefeed this pale woman excess sugar and saturated fat in unreasonable portions
>Now she's part of the entourage, colorful, and looking plump in a very tight dress.
Are you sure this will help us sell more Flintstones Breakfast cereal?
>Flintstones?

>>149763711
No, but I will and no amount of mass flagging will stop me. I had a perfectly fine post and now you're gonna hear me complain now.

WB doesn't care about animation anymore, and you fuckers are just gonna complain the whole time because you "support" animation, well sorry I'm not dropping my standard so shit like fixed becomes popular and studios only use hand drawn for Seth Rogan esqe comedies. Mass flag that you fake animation fan faggots.

Now watch kiddos as the "animation community" and "Spumpilled" will shill these and then immediately forget about it for a month and then go and blame WB/Zaslav and the internet instead of getting off Twitter and seeing it themselves and getting mad when WB scraps 2D all together.

>>149763863
>Badly timed.
>Badly posed.
>Badly settled.
While better then their work on Looney Tunes Cartoons which is shot like a episode of Family Guy it's not saying much.

>>149764038
I dunno who’s worse, you or that one guy on Twitter who can’t stop glazing that one Tom and Jerry movie

>>149764016
Careful anon you don't wanna mess with the spumco fandom they're kinda psychos when it comes to older animation

>>149764078
Anon the Spumco fandom is nothing but a bunch of fart sniffing self centered assholes. Literally had 2 friends reach out to the fanbase to ask for help working on their cartoons and nobody in that fandom even gave them a shout-out except for like 2 people. Now yes there are some nice people, but 95 percent of them are selfish pricks. I never wanna hear these guys crying about the state of animation when they can't even help people in their own community. Being from that fandom is just a popularity status at this point.

>>149764190
i mean to be fair all those guys do is sit and complain about cartoons sucking instead of getting up and making some themselves

>>149762802
>>149763529
If any of you guys personally know people who worked on the film screenshot this shit and send it to them so they could laugh at it

>>149764298
Already happen and they agree with >>149762802

>>149764298
They'll agree, or if they disagree it's because their jobs are on the line, nobody is honest in the industry anymore.

>>149759671
>WB is bleeding money
Nope. Warner Bros has been one area that has been profitable.

>>149764388
They'd make more money if TMS was involved but that'll never happen.

>>149764359
Nobody wants The Day the Earth Blew Up to be produced entirely in Japan with zero American involvement, retard. There’s tons of talented artists that worked on it, the character designers, the board artists, the animators, great cartoonists who’ve always wanted to work on a wacky project like this such as Peter Browngardt, Alex Kirwan, Michael Ruoco, Johnny Ryan, Stephen Destefano, all paying homage to Bob Clampett, yet your retarded immature ass says "fuck all of them, I WANT IT TO BE AN ANIME", seems like you really care about the state western animation Famicunt.

Stop being such a negative ungrateful autist Famicom, you should be happy that in present day we even got a 2D animated Looney Tunes film made with artistic integrity that stays true to the source material. Yet nothing seems to fucking please you.

>>149759307 (OP)
Other than mortal combat, what other midway franchise that they bought could use some of that animation treatment?

>>149764419
TMS is fully booked with Nipon works so that's a no go. I don't think they can do Looney Tunes anymore anyway.

>>149764600
Rampage?

>>149764518
I love how Famicom made you his bitch. You seethe about him more than a Millennial crying over being misgendered.

>>149764518
Yes, they do want The Day the Earth Blew Up to be produced entirely in Japan with zero American involvement. Namely to give Studio Chizu/Mamoru Hosoda a run from it's money.

What The Day the Earth Blew Up hired as "talent" is embarrassing as the film acts more like John K and Ren and Stimpy then Clampett.

If you wanted talent you should've got Toshihiko Masuda, Nobuo Tomizawa, Kenji Hachizaki, Takashi Kawaguchi, Yuichiro Yano, Hisao Yokobori, Keiko Oyamada, Atsuko Tanaka, Masatomo Sudo and Junko Yamanaka to handle the film.

It was the same song and dance with Animaniacs'2020, except Animaniacs'2020 (which TMS was supposed to do before Wellesley Wild back stabbed them) was much worse off then The Day the Earth Blew Up.

>>149764681
If that was the case then Tower of God, Shenmue: The Animation, Cosmo Samurai and Rick and Morty: The Anime (including the 2 shorts they did) would've never happed because Warner Bros was the ones who forced TMS to do those projects instead of just having them do Animaniacs and Tiny Toons again as was originally planned.

>>149764879
This. It's preferable if you got some of the old Japanese artists who did cel. A lot of the modern Western artists lack timing and wanna only make meme faces.

>>149764777
Zoomer, Millennials only see 2 genders.

>>149764916
Makes sense. Why would they even make those, why couldn't WB just outsource it to a Korean studio at that point to make those projects instead of forcing TMS.

>>149763529
>for future LT projects, they should do away with outsourcing completely and give someone state-side an actual fucking job
What're you talking about? Lots of Looney Tunes is produced state side...in Canada, the 52nd state.

>>149764917
Thank you.

>>149759307 (OP)
Just one short or are they going to be putting Looney Tunes shorts in front of all of their animated movies from now on?

>>149764879
>lets hire a bunch of weebshit artists to make something western

Retard, even your autistic figure of worship Tiny Toons had plenty of American involvement, the Japanese only did the overseas animation. Also sowwy to crush your dreams but TMS animating western properties won’t happen again, Japan stopped doing overseas animation ever since they began focusing heavily on their domestic animation market.

>>149764916
I'm going by their wikipedia page.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TMS_Entertainment#2020s

They're pretty full as far as work goes.

>>149764936
Because alot of Hollywood is being backed and infuanced by South Korean VANK who only wants to hurt Japan.

They still might be under VANK influence seeing K-Pop Demon Hunters is sent for a Oscar nomination.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voluntary_Agency_Network_of_Korea

>>149764969
TMS had say on the original Tiny Toons and Animaniacs, as much say as Lupin III and Anpanman and TMS was supposed to do their reboots before getting back stabbed.

The Answer Studio is still doing DC DTV movies.

>>149764917
>>149764936
Imagine saying that Looney Tunes, the franchise that defined wacky and expressive animation, does "meme faces", lol, lmao even

That’s just as retarded as saying NuBob does meme faces, real meme faces are only done in shit like Gumball by unfunny zoomer humor animators.

>>149759307 (OP)
They should play them before regular films like in the old days, not just kiddie movies.

Imagine a Looney Tunes cartoon before Dune 3 or The Batman II…

>>149765021
The new ones do meme faces, the old ones are classics. Did you also forget a Japanese guy designed Fred Flintstone. They can do far better than any of the artists here. And NuBob does meme faces, and the timing is dogshit.

>>149764969
Look at Panty and Stocking they do way better than us now and always have. You're disrespecting animation as a whole if you say otherwise.

>>149765098
NuBobs timing is hit or miss but it still looks better than 95% of other modern cartoons.

And by your logic I guess any expressive cartoony face is a "meme face", in what fucking context could any of these faces even be used as memes or reaction images? Unless you just put "me when scary thing" like an autistic or some shit, compare this to the faces from shit like Gumball or KPDH where most of their faces are made to be obvious memes rather than natural expressiveness.

>>149765021
I can smell the 30 year old tears off your post

>>149759671
Superman made a decent profit, and Zaslav (love him or hate him) is doing a lot right to try and pull the company out of the pit it's found itself in.

>>149765150
Anon I just said the new cartoons do meme faces, the old cartoons are great and always will be classics.

Why are you turning this into something it's not?

>>149764600
Spy hunter would be great, that comic with paperboy proves it.

>>149765179
>new cartoons taking influence from the classics means they’re trying to make memes

Sooooo do you want cartoons to try to be like the classics or no? Death to any form of expressive animation I guess

>>149762802
my theory that famicom is something manufactured to make talking about tms impossible gets more real with every post

>>149765160
No retard, if I was a real nostalgiafag I’d be a normie shitting on NuBob saying "anything after season 3 BAD"

>>149764701
I honestly see why can't they not do this, they have what's essentially the TMNT(or street sharks) and the incredible hulk sitting on a shelf.

Imagine it, mutated antiheroes up against the shady scum laboratories.

>>149765258
I never said that, I just said tone down the meme faces. There's a difference between expressions and meme faces. You're just getting yourself mad for no reason.

>>149765316
Sounds cool.

>>149759307 (OP)
the Cat in the Hat is not a Looney Tune

>>149765454
>Don't do exaggerated expressions cause they might be memefaces
>No I won't explain the difference

Things become memes because they are appealing not due to them being exaggerated and cartoony.

>mods wipe Birchys comments

Holy fuck they actually did something about him for once

Haha get fucked Birchy and Famicunt Nobody gives a fuck about your opinions

>>149765496
Ok I kinda see your point now. Well still what the fuck should we call them then? Because they do try and push the next meme face, like they always overexaggerate everything with the drawings, the only artist who does it well is Pinkie but that's about it.
>>149765578
>>149765581
Who?

>>149765581
Yes, they do.

>>149765609
Ban evading cunt

>>149765609
The difference between a meme face and natural expressiveness is that naturally expressive stuff like NuBob or Ren & Stimpy actually have faces that resemble real fucking faces but with extremely pushed expressiveness, they study real human beings to animate like animators should. Meme face shit like Gumball has faces with zero construction, zero appeal, and instead of studying real human beings they study meme shit and hope that they make an actual meme.

Also we know it’s you Birchy, don’t act retarded, cause we all know you’re only very very autistic teetering on the edge of retardation.

>>149765609
>what the fuck should we call them then?
Soulless

If you think a person is being disingenuous and is only hoping their duckface expression goes viral on social media, that's all you can say. You might be wrong tho.

>>149765609
You see stuff like in Ren and Stimpy and Adult Party is still grounded in realism while Nu-Spongebob is just whatever the artist thinks of, yes it's more creative but sometimes it comes off as uncanny

Maybe just call it uncanny animation

>>149765698
Soulless?
>>149765729
Uncanny?
That's a perfect way to describe it.

>>149765609
Also lmao, Birchy you seem to like bringing up Pinkie a lot, she’s a great artist, but other artists like Adam Paloian and Eddie Trigueros have expressions that are just as pushed as hers, yet you never praised them. You’re clearly just a Pinkie simp, you only care about her cause she’s a hot lesbian chick rather than her real talent you should be praising her for.

If NuBobs team was full of hot chicks you’d praise it, admit it. Oh well, at least it isn’t CP your fapping to this time.

>>149765698
I wouldn't mind if they didn't do it all the time and didn't make every other drawing wacky and over the top

The last few replies read like someone samefagging

>>149765960
why

>>149765150
Nobody should be complaining about the timing in NuBob cause it’s mostly the fault of South Korean animators, there are instances of good timing like this and it’s mostly during moments where the storyboards are more instructive.

>>149759307 (OP)
why are they even bothering?

Despite posts getting deleted, my point still stands. We're in a darkage and people would rather censor and mass flag your and live in their bubble where everything is fine.

Well I live in the real world and see the writing on the wall.
REMEMBER!
We don't have as many good artists left, so be grateful when you get a good modern cartoon.

See ya.

>>149766535
We wouldn't be in a dark age if TMS was involved.

>>149766535
Birchy I hope you get swatted for CP ownership

Why can't you guys just ignore them

>>149766535
Be grateful we got a cartoonist driven show like NuBob fag, you’re nothing more than a fat autist with a crush on an even bigger autist, just book some plane tickets so you can fly to Famicoms house and fuck him already.

>>149766535
There hasn't been a good cartoon in over a decade except for maybe smiling friends

>>149759307 (OP)
I'm not hopeful.

>>149765021
I'm surprised that whenever you guys brought the topic of Spongebob meme faces, you never brought out PPG 2016 meme faces.

>>149759307 (OP)
Time for more non-binary troon featureless crotch rabbit ass.

>>149759307 (OP)
based if true

>>149759671
It's amazing how many idiots pop up on line and simply repeat stupidity without even giving it any thought.

>>149760241
>>149760260
Y'all don't understand that the basic reality of media today - and for the past 20-30 years, has been to repackage it and resell it. These will be compiled, they will be used as bumpers, they will turn up on fucking tiktok and otherwise be monetized.
Jeez Louise, it's amazing that you people are let lose in the world and allowed to do thing like drive fucking cars, own guns much less vote

>>149762584
>>149762743
Disney isn't buying shit, much less being allowed near another studio, especially by the current administration; if Sony didn't want to spend $8B to try to get Paramount, they aren't going to show for 5 times (or more) to get WB.
That you would even type Lionsgate, which is the most financially unstable and insecure of the production studios at the moment, shows how laughably stupid you are, and Larry isn't given David more billions to buy anything of note for five or more years.

Sigh.

>>149760241
Reminds me of how the first Deadpool trailer was released with Fant4stic back in 2015.

Who give a shit. When we getting a new theatrical Tom and Jerry short?

>>149759671
Minecraft, Wonka, and Superman saved them. (Yeah; that Wonka movie made money. I am shocked too).

Also like the other anon said, Looney Tunes on MeTV is becoming popular.

>>149759307 (OP)
I don't care about flintstones but the looney tunes short is fine

>>149768702
>Disney isn't...
Yes, they are.

This bidding war would've already been over by now if it were not for the networks but the FTC is blocking the buyout which is why Warner Bros is splitting off the networks so this buy out can go through.

As for Disney they're selling off most their TV networks back to Rupert Murdoch just to have the money to buy Warner Bros.

Also, as for Sony, Paramount isn't in the anime business, Warner Bros who has David Pro's Jojo does but Disney already has a much higher bid so Disney will win the bidding war.
>>149771014
Looney Tunes is already popular again thanks to MeTV Toons and the recent Blu-Ray releases.

I'm starting to think something like the dumbass saying that WB needs to not make theatrical Looney Tunes shorts and the people still insistent that Disney can buy WB are Disney shills trying to maintain the illusion of Disney not having problems

>>149772422
They're selling most of their TV networks back to Rupert Murdoch, that alone indicates that Disney is set on buying Warner Bros.

>>149763510
This, I've wanted WB to start doing theatrical LT shorts again for years.

>>149772422
>Disney shills trying to maintain the illusion of Disney not having problems
Well they're doing a shit job because Disney having problems is kind of an open secret at this point, even back when Uncle Walt himself was still alive.

>>149772619
That is the case, thats why Warner Bros is getting rid of it's TV networks just so they don't need to deal with the FTC.

>>149772644
that, i don't quite get
I can understand selling off the discovery-owned channels like Food Network and Animal Planet, but selling off CN and [as] and the like, while still keeping the respective studios I might add, is a very weird flex

>>149759307 (OP)
about fucking time, sad thing is they will put them behind streaming paywalls.

>>149772715
Blame the FTC, even Disney is getting rid of it's TV networks.
