The Miscellaneous Thought Thread

This animation style makes me want to commit suicide.

It’s not the animation style that bothers me (I like about 1/2 of the character designs)… it’s the way every time anyone in the trailer says “You’re not funny,” I’m thinking the same thing. Nothing in this trailer strikes me as funny, engaging, or anything but tired, forced, obnoxious, mind-numbing, etc.

But it’s just a trailer. Maybe the characters are better than they seem in this brief glimpse. I like the concept. Maybe I’ll give it a look…

When it’s free. I don’t subscribe to D+ and have no plans to.

Used Planco 2 to make: “Casey Bros. Mine Country Tours.” In my head, they’re voiced by John Ratzenberger. Their motto: “We said ‘scenic’, not ‘smooth’.”

I like how the engine looks scared in the first picture.

It's the same cheap character design they used for Luca, Elio and Turning Red. They must be reusing assets to save money.

While the rest of the industry makes complex character designs like this

The way history repeats... Maybe President Trump will host his inaugural party to EPCOT!

Don't say that in the Disney Movies, Animation, TV and Disney+ section. They will dog pile on you.

This is bad, but it's like Dreamworks bad.

Win or Lose is Grub Hub bad.

See, now we’re in total subjectivity territory: The Dreamworks example I’m okay with in a comedy (And I think HTTYD, KF Panda and a few others have fantastic character designs). Chicken Little, for me, is the definition of “off-putting.” It depends on the context: I never cared for the Klasky-Csupo style, but put up with it for Rugrats and Wild Thornberries because they were great shows.
