I want to discuss Australian cartoons. All of it.The good, the bad, and the ugly.The Australian animation industry, its past and present and what it holds for in the future.Let's talk about the toons from down under.
Well, they own this decade. America will have to try again in 2030.
>>146311290American animation will never not dominate. Learn about American hegemony and capitalism num nuts.
>>146311544This and elite theory from the italian school. Besides smiling friends are not australian, its half and half.
>Amazing Digital Circus and Shezow shouldn't count because they were written/created by Americans>Smiling Friends shouldn't count because the majority of the crew is American
>>146311259How did they think that thing at the bottom left corner looked okay?
>>146311708Smiling friends is even directed by an American with Zach. It is even based in AMERICA. If it was not for Michael there would not be any ambiguity.
>>146311748Worked for me as a kid. It was kinda hypnotising.
>>146311259Guys help!I've been trying to find a cartoon that I recall being Australian for a long time, I think I saw it posted here ages ago!It was a family of pandas I think? In one seen a young girl is shown flipping off the camera! And I think it was a kids rated show.
>>146311259The ADC show is Australian? Shezow too?
LIFE WAS GOOD ON HOT DOG STAND
>>146312763
This was a fotm girl for a second back 11 years ago
>>146312838Actually, it was older than that, possibly, when /co/ discovered it.Surprised Locke never drew them, cute character. Don't Aussie's like their homegrown cartoons?
imma horse you cunt!
>Ketchup: Cats Who Cook (ケチャップ, Kechappu) is an animated series broadcast between October 5, 1998, and April 2, 1999, on NHK in Japan. It was a co-production primarily with Southern Star of Australia, and secondarily with NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corporation), Think Tank Productions, and Shanghai Yilimie Animation Co. of China.Okay, this one is interesting...
>>146312928Look /co/! A female cartoon cat!
>go through article about kids programming from down unda>see this>why does it feel like I seen this before?>released 1990>omg yes i did watch thisFucking hell thanks /co/, another piece of my childhood brought back to me, for better or for worse.

Throw in some New Zealand stuff.
>>146311259Australia's doing pretty well on the animation department. It's weird, it all sort of came out of nowhere. Though it's probably because of the catastrophic state of American animation now.
>>146313289I don't recall their being some evil Travy McBean
My husbando's from an Australian show (Fairy Tale Police Department)
>>146314040I see talk of this show all the time, is it any good? Or is it just special effects and fight scenes and not much else?Also drawn blood? Is it for kids?
>>146311259Bottom left looks like one of those facial reconstructions they do for unidentified dead bodies.
While I enjoy a good theme song, 2 minutes is too fucking long. If I was a kid I would have already been pining for the series to start after one minute (the sweet spot for music length). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EfSKS7eDK4
>>146314212
>>146314042Autism thing. Weirdly enough UK/Aussie autists have the weirdest tastes in cartoons. This one British girl I talk to sometimes is obsessed with Batfink.
>>146314095>is it any good?Yeah it's really good. I only finished it just a bit ago, but I found it very enjoyable. It'a a little confusing at first because it demands your autistic attention to catch stuff it visually shows you.I don't like using this term, but yes it's a lore show.>Or is it just special effects and fight scenes and not much else?There is that, a lot of it. And it does look really damn good. That's not just all there is, no. The entire show itself is a mystery type deal that you put together to figurebout what's going on. There isn't a lot of direct exposition to the viewer, it shows you a lot of things visually that you have to take note of (text that appears momentarily, stuff like that). It's extremely heavy on attention to detail.Though if you don't care for any lorefag autism, you totally can just watch it for the action and animation. Nothing wrong with turning your brain off and enjoying the visuals.>Also drawn blood? Is it for kids?The show heavily features concepts of Eldritch Horrors and violence. There is a lot of robo-gore, but as the show gets deeper into the supernatural eldritch stuff there is actual blood and human dismemberment.It's not super explicit or anything, or any extremely visceral human gore. At most there's a visible severed human arms, visual implications of humans being killed and eaten, mass-death via an Eldritch Horror monster, a lot of body horror and shit from said eldritch horror itself - stuff of that nature. So, not necessarily for kids I'd say. Fine for teens and the like.

How's about a look into the indie side of things down under?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_MSFkZHNi4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3T86S5AQkQ
>>146314328Thanks for the info. I might check it out.
>>146312707GLITCH productions is an Australian indie animation studio, so yes.
>>146314416I didn't know there was so much Australian indie. I know The Amazing Digital Circus and Murder Drones, obviously. Aussies are more widespread in cartoons than I thought.
>>146312631Now that I think about it, it could have been British.It had featureless nude animal characters. White and blueish purple. Might have been koalas?
Finally, I have an excuse to post about this movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfluaMlguvYIf you've read the book it's based on already you know how good it is & its rowdy satirical nature. This movie takes that book and basically turns it into the most out of step DTV Disney arse on a stick I've ever seen. Yet it's still such a fun watch to me because it's just so bizarre. I'd go so far to single it out as the reason why Australia never tried again with 2D theatrical animation after that.
>>146314409Johnson & Friends aired in Canada.

>>146311259Can't talk about Aussie animation without mentioning the MVP.
>>146311259>Bluey (biggest cartoon since SpongeBob)>Smiling Friends (biggest adult cartoon since Rick and Morty)>Digital Circus (biggest thing that wasn't SpongeBob since Adventure Time)>Murder DronesYeah and if you add in the fact they house Flying Bark, it pretty much looks like Australians won this decade. Japan has winning by default since 2017 or so but at least the Australians are picking up the slack with "western" style shows. I can't even think of many good or popular American animated shows this decade.>Hazbin Hotel >Invincible >Lackadaisy? >Owl House >Rock, Paper, Scissors? >that Patrick Star spin-off? >My Adventures with Superman?>... ?!?!?I can barely think of any "American" shows that have come out, which is pathetic because our industry's batting average was super high a decade ago. If it were the same point in the 2010s I could list dozens.

First Binky, now Dinky.
>>146314212Pretty much every Yoram Gross cartoon up until like Blinky S3 had a theme song that completely overstayed its welcome just to inflate the runtime up to the standard 24 minutes. Blinky's is at least charming, Skippy's is annoying as sin.
No sir I do not like this.
>>146314895>>>146314951>Yoram Gross cartoonWhat else did they make?
Why does Australia make so much nightmare fuel?Why does it feel like I have seen this before...
>>146314952Never heard of this one, and for a moment thought you posted this thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJvlezaZAhY
>>146315020I sometimes seriously question how shit like this gets past the concept stage. Money was spent on making this. Wasted on this. That theme song is mind-numming. No wonder why Bluey took off. It doesn't treat kids like retards.
>>146314895Isn't this show almost completely lost?>>146314979>What else did they make?If there was an Australian cartoon back then, there was a high chance it was from them. They started out doing features with a rudimentary mix of live action & animation (before Roger Rabbit, if memory serves me right) before slowly moving into TV animation.http://www.yoramgrossfilms.com.au/
Did anyone else see the Footrot Flats film?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hv5tlyKEoXU
At least it has a cute bunny.
Can we count commercials as part of this thread? Mortein had some cool looking ones back in the day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9g_4kElYM3c
>>146315188I don't see why not.
>more memories unlockedNOO NOT LIKE THISSSS!!!
>>146315169I havent thought about this show for a couple of decades at the very least, is there somewhere I can watch it?
This movie isn't available ANYWHERE in any remotely non-shit quality and I find that sad. It's a fun watch & unique for being animated by only one guy for the most part.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvomoCj9eeA

>Old Tom is based on a series of successful books written by Australian author Leigh Hobbs. Old Tom is a one-eyed, flea-ridden, orange tomcat, who’s good-natured but slothful behaviour is in contrast to the respectable, suburban matron, Angela Throgmorton, who treats Old Tom as if he were her son. They are, in reality, every bit as oddball and eccentric as each other, and together they become involved in a series of comedic adventures and topsy-turvy situations.

Prisoner Zero is back on the ABC website!https://iview.abc.net.au/show/prisoner-zero/It's a sci-fi show.
>>146323763I love region locked content!
>>146324498:(I wish I could share a free version of the show that's easily accessible to non-Australian people.Paid versions are on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/show/SCqUtmmt2_6LWG1KU-SVZcFQ?season=1&sbp=CgExOr apple TV streaminghttps://tv.apple.com/au/show/prisoner-zero/umc.cmc.4bh023ladrwis3x5v0t5z4ww2(Not sure if those are region-locked either)Other than that, you might have to look for other places
>>146324777If I remember I will just do the right thing, the thing every /co/mrade should do: check episode 1 for myself and form my own opinion.
>>146324777>>146324822Found a clip.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfUCBZ5a6g0Seems like a good action kids' show, although perhaps too much millennial dialog.
>>146324896>millennial dialogExplain.
>>146325057>WOW DUDE THE WAY I JUST BLASTED THOSE [bad guys] WAS SOOOOOO WICKED!!>*eyeroll* YEAH BRO, TOTALLY *sarcasm*
>>146325092I don't understand, is this stereotypical?
>>146325131Yeah, and as of recent HELLA overdone.
An adult animated series from Australia would bust the cunt counter every episode.
Does Hazbin Hotel count as Australian since it's animated by Princess Bento, located in Melbourne?https://www.princessbento.com/copy-of-smiling-friends
>>146325748I would say no because its wholly an American IP.But then again I consider anime from the 1970s and 80s animated for markets in Europe Japanese, and not whatever country they were made for.So I *shrug*.
>>146325787*to be Japanese
>>146325748>sees link is called copy of smiling friends>clicks on link, but it actually shows hazbin hotellol
>>146325834>Pearlie>I have the italian OP for this show on a CD
>>146325748Nope (written by Americans)
>>146325834This is Australian?>>146326144>italian OP for this show on a CD??
>>146326196Technically an Aussie-Canuck co-production>Inspired by an Aussie children's book series Pearlie the Park Fairy by Wendy Harmer>A Co-production between Aussie Stick Pictures and NelvanaThe Dumb Bunnies animated series was a co-production between Yoram Gross Productions and Nelvana
>>146325834Saphira and Scrag and Mr. Flea were my favorites.
>>146324777Currently on Hoopla, which is free if you have a library card.Maybe this means Pluto will get it back again.
>>146326316I did not like The Dumb Bunnies. Also felt that series was more Canadian.
>>146311259Oh my god Smiling Friends is Aussie, I never thought about it
>>146327089It was (written and voiced by Ontarians)
>>146326196>??https://mega.nz/file/C1YiGJCa#USLqLjibuxaurIAYcyxaiCfFsnZrvCoKjLnBxwH_dzADisk 1, track 5. You're welcome.
>>146326955THAT was australian?
>>146327336Quokkas are still too obscure for American media
>>146311259Holy shit YOU made that terrifying garbage on the bottom left? Have the investors seen a single episode? I did. Okay you grow up with giant spiders but that shit is nightmare material
>>146311259>>146327487To elaborate, crap looks like Forbidden Siren. Its worse than Angela Anaconda.
>>146326955Are these real? I've never heard of them before...
>>146327422No I mean..... the people who made..... not the species........ well................ well.She cute.
>>146327503I'd say Siren did it better, and any uncanny elements are GOOD since it is a spooky game.>>146327659All real anon.
>>146327675>She cute.Drawfags...assemble!!!!
>>146327699>All real anon.Theatrical movies? Have they been brought up on /co/ before?
>>146327675I've coomed to the weirdest shit but she's generic and ugly honestly.
>>146327709Dude she looks like a fucking mobile game mascot. Ugh.>>146327699Siren 2 needs a remaster. Both. Desperately.
>>146327675Okay so this is unsettling...Her face is the exact same in every photo. Animators couldn't be bothered to change up the face expression per pic.
>>146327761Of course she's generic, she's from an Aussie cartoon
>>146327675This movie was made by a german studio, not australian.>>146326955These movies too were made by the same german studio. As far as I know, its movies go from 5 to 7 on average on IMDB. They aren't a great thing but aren't bad either.>>146327422quokkas quake my nuts iykwim
>>146327317Before I even try to download that, what is it?
>>146313120This white cat reminsd me so much of Destiny from The Mongrels. It's like if most of the cast have their own Mongrels counterparts, some within other species.
>>146328293High five Mongrelbro. There's two of us.
>>146328357Aside from the many times Vincent raped him, Nelson is a very lucky guy and he fucks up every single time. I seriously thought he would settle for the afghan bitch who was crazy for him but he pussied out. It's always the same story with him.Vincent carries the whole series btw. He's just like Eric Cartman but in a fox body.
>>146328386The show almost made me gay for Nelson.
>>146328417Really? I think he's pretty insufferable, plus he causes many deaths unintentionally. Even hanging around with Marion would be less problematic.
>>146328240A collection of original italian OPs for cartoons western and eastern. Featuring the rare full OP for the forbidden horse show, Naruto Shippuden, and YuGiOn on Motorcycles.
>>146328293>>146328357I liked The Mongrels but didn't like how the cosmic reset button would be hit at the end of every episode. Also every character was a dick to each other all the time never one once of comradery.I also wonder for both series, where do all those puppets end up? Also they are creepy when not being used, it's like they are dead bodies, the souls are gone...
>>146328447You keep saying OP what is OP???
>>146328447>Featuring the rare full OP for MLPNTA but I'm sold. I'll download asap. Thank you very much
>>146327829The whole point is that her job is to get photos taken with. For tourists. None of whom take her seriously.>>146327761Could have used more budget, but I love her anyway.>>146327709In case ANY dawfags are interesting in even one little piece, her name is Daisy and she is the most harmless and therefore pathetic animals in her town. Yet, she is a big fan of a very athletic crocodile who participated in "toughest animal" competition for years before getting kicked out. She convinces her to train her, and she enters despite having no chances cause she's a fucking quokka.
>>146327317>>146328447The full song of the MLP intro in Italian sounds like an anime opening. kekIt's quite charming.
>>146328438He is insufferable but he's also such a bottom bitch. And a fox. But yeah Vincent carries the show. Barely. The best things coming out of that show by far were the episode where Vincent and Nelson are stranded on a traffic island and several songs (Real Estate, Murder Justin Bieber, Don't fuck Chickens, Immigrant Song).
>>146328459OP = Opening. I thought that was as known as DVD or NSFW or STFU.
>>146328491>the most harmless and therefore pathetic animals in her town.Sounds like me.
>>146328496>that chicken interspecies relationshipI should've know it was too good to be true. It's one of the few times Nelson didn't fuck up. It just happened.
>>146328491>She convinces her*she convinced himI'll take this as a chance to post her again.
>>146328495Oh. Forgot to add a link for it. Here it is. https://files.catbox.moe/ha8nov.rar
Have a torrent my fellow ferals fansmagnet:?xt=urn:btih:efb3be8759e1821f4a0ec53a0c83648cdf64533d&dn=the%20ferals
The Wild Thornberry's liked visiting Australia alot:https://wildthornberrys.fandom.com/wiki/Australia
>>146328229Must've outsourced then because the production company is Like a Photon Creative based in AU, and that ain't austria.>sequel to Combat Wombat just came out this year along with another entry in the film series, The Sloth LaneWell son of a gun.
>>146312864Aussie cartoons air in the morning, usually on a Saturday and required Disney to train them and the government to fund them.Cheap BBC licenses filled the spaces and that was all replaced with US and US suns of Japanese cartoons.
>>146328507OP around these parts means "Opening Post" or "Original Poster", like for a start of a thread.>>146328510Hiya B, drawn anything of note recently?
>>146328507NTA but I'm used to it meaning Original Poster.
>>146328632Maybe I should make a thread about foreign OPs, and be OP.
>>146328229>This movie was made by a german studioI am lowkey glad. Because I want my theories to be correct.
>>146315602If they ever wanted to do a Holocaust movie series/tv show they could do worse than adapt Once and it’s sequels.
>>146328680Personally wouldn't surprise me if they did handle the gruntwork. They and the scandies put out like a metric fuckton of fair to middling CGI movies.
>>146328586Our endemic fauna is the only thing we're known for
>>146328632>Hiya B, drawn anything of note recently?Nothing worth posting here. Anything specific? If I draw in drawthreads I'm a shill. If I draw anywhere else I'm banned. I have catbox though.Thanks for the interest.
>>146328680What does your picture mean?
>>146328866map of furries in europe
>>146328889Thanks helpful anon, you explained so I wouldn't have to.
>>146328862>Anything specific?I only really know you for Elinor so I guess any new ones of her?>If I draw in drawthreads I'm a shill.Why would anyone call you that? Anyway, I think it's more fun to draw in threads dedicated to certain things rather than the general.>If I draw anywhere else I'm banned.Yeah...it is what it is. Maybe try drawing on /trash/ more? dlc, toon, sonic girls, tdm, don't know what threads you'd like. They are more tolerant of catbox links there.>I have catbox though.Like albums?>>146328889How did anyone even compile this??
>>146329017it's old, but furries made it to easier find each other/hook up
>>146328836True. That and the hard censorship that goes on there. It's really stupid.Though since Bluey premiered Australia's gotten a better image, I think. I wish the ABC was popular so there were more rips on public torrents.
>>146329017>try drawing on /trash/ morePic of mine even got removed on /trash/.Its fine, I'll use catbox.
>>146329135I want the CUNTries of the Anglosphere (Murrika excluded) would compete on which one would push back on censorship the hardest. That would be an amazing race from the bottom.
>>146312900"I'm Brumby, dammit!"
>>146312900Spirit 2: Low Spirits.
>>146329135>censorship that goes on thereIt's funny you say that. Disney edited Bluey alot for American kids, cause alot of the jokes that were okay for Australians were apparently not ok for US kids. I think its bullshit that they edited out the part about Bluey's dad getting fat. It's a fact of life.>>146329208What was it? Underage fur is a bit of a grey area on that board.
>>146329538Of course it was underage fur lelThis degenerate board where anons talked about raping underage characters 3 threads in a row has high standards, innit?
>>146312900One of my old animation teachers worked on this & the Ocean Girl animated adaption around the same time. He brought in artwork from his days there & at Disney all the time, I couldn't get enough of it. He even bought in one of those circular animation disks they use for traditional paper animation, which I hadn't seen in real life at all to that point.
>>146330186I watched Ocean Girl because I was extremely horny over the bird lady. It was really annoying how they had like 5 minutes of animation and recycled it over the course of an entire show. I remember nothing happening, and the villain doing nothing.They had a show about a friggin ocean planet ffs and did nothing with it. I demand a remake.
>>146330163Thats more like it. Are they related?
>>146330279The whole show was animated in house iirc, so they had to just Filmation that shit as much as possible just to make ends meet. At least the waxy 90s CG backgrounds look nice.
>>146330163Long ago, before torrenting was scary and alien to me, I got that special by getting a Dailymotion or Vimeo version via some downloading plugin that probably does not exist anymore.
>>146330328https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vX3WSExOie8 A relatively HQ version got put up on Youtube a few months back and I don't know where it could have come from, considering this special didn't even get a DVD release. Clearest version before that very obviously came from an old TV airing & it was a bit grainy.
>>146330303Ah. I knew the devs of Gollum and I met the guy who made Strawinsky and the Mysterious House. Is that something?
>>146330380Dailymotion is nuts as a media source. I downloaded the entire German dub of TMNT there. Why would I do that, you ask? Well, because they did stuff like calling each other faggots or made political jokes (like Krang and Shredder actively voting the nazi party and hating leftists). It's wild.
>>146330186>circular animation disksWhat are they called?Also can you Aussies find anymore animated commercials for things?
>>146311259Kitty was comfy.
>>146330514That gif is Mighty B levels of gross.
>>146330452Not the same anon but I think he literally means an animation disk which work like flicker books? There's a scene with it in Conjuring 2.
>>146330452One of these things.
>>146318061I guess I'm lucky; I picked up a big collection of them during a business trip Down Under thinking I'd never find them in the States.I've come to realize that "farm humor" is the same no matter where in the world you are. You find the same jokes whether it's Hooterville, the North Island, or Yorkshire.
>>146330562Fortunately nobody in the show ate snot.
>>146330514Does she shit in litterboxes?
>>146330380Well, that one is the best possible.
>>146330433>actively voting the nazi party and hating leftistsThat part will never get old.
>>146330972Imagine Shredder and Krank walk into a voting office and casually vote.
>>146330931I wish she did.
>>146331017I feel dirty after watching this...Why does she always wear a fursuit?
>>146319154>>146319098No joke, same, I wanted to watch that shit for the kangaroo. I forgot what media warned me of the movie, I think I read a movie review in a videogame magazine. And I'd have just been as disappointed. Hell, me and my brother both cried when the kid in Jingle all the Way refused to take the fucking action figure because we were like small materialistic kids and we didn't get that shit. All we know was that the guy fought over a toy for the entire movie for nothing.>>146315169>>146315185Wait thats an Aussie cartoon? It's based on a German musical album lel>>146312763Matilda drove me WILD back then. Holy shit if nothing else turned me into a furry, then it was her.>>146331017Any video link? I know too little to find something coherent on Youtube.

>>146331157The dragon cartoon is an aussie-german co pro.
>>146331283Okay. Well its based on a German musical album from 1983. The dragon is 7 years old in dragon years (700 years old). It's some hippie esotheric shit about growing up, fantasy, finding a point in life, figuring out what love is in a non-sexual sense... loved it as a kid, probably would think its fucking weird as an adult.
>>146331262That guy is a machine anyway. There's no point in making art. He will draw what you want to see and he'll do it better than any of us.
>>146331378>He will draw what you want to see>has not yet drawn my fetish
>>146331406Not fetish wise but character wise at least.
>>146331262That is hilarious, kinda gross, but also well done.
Same energy.
>>146330433Most uploads of cartoons I see on Dailymotion are filtered in a really weird way, where they're tilted & zoomed in so it cuts off a bunch of detail around the screen. I applaud anybody who can find anything remotely watchable on that ad riddled mess of a site even with Adblock on.
>reboot/remake of old IP>girl character with skirt or dress>spats or shorts addedEvery damn time...
>>146331514Only the left hasn't scored yet.
>female character named NutsyYeah I bet she ..............too easy
>>146332233>when your last name is a first name
Day Job is one of my favorite series right now. I hope it gets more popular.
>>146311259Likely slim chance of any artists being here, but I'll throw out a suggestion (they are known for their Great Barrier Reef after all...): https://litter.catbox.moe/2ii6px.png
>>146333262Same guy who directed the Bimbo/Willy the Wombat shorts posted earlier in this thread.
>>146311708Glitch is operated by bogans though. Why shouldn't it count?Also this collage completely leaves out Flying Bark's output
>>146318221We're more subservient to America if anything. RIP Gogh. You mess with Pine Gap you get the axe.
>>146330186Was it Barry?
>>146333331I don't know how much more content I can scrape up.
I'm trying to find this flash cartoon that aired on ABC3 from like 2012-2014 or so? it was about a girl who I believe was aboriginal, maybe in her late-teens and early 20s and she had to move back to her hometown despite being a city girl, typical conflict. The artstyle was in the same style as the Signpost maths textbooks, the "Sonic the Hedgehog" mono-eye sort of thing.

>>146334198No problem. I'm the same anon who talked about the animation teacher earlier in the thread & surprise surprise he worked on Wakkaville too as a director. Such an odd coincidence.
>>146334327Geez, small world
Bump, just remembered this series Flying Bark did around the late 2010s. Part of a larger live action educational(?) thing with a heavy emphasis on gross-out, it was their first real 2D effort following about a decade or so of CG series. It's not very well known and the live action parts are kind of hit or miss and a bit 'writer's barely disguised fetish'-y but I think of it as the missing link between their roots as makers of original Australian shows to becoming the go-to studio for action cartoons.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFlEmfuf5QI
I'm happy for Glitch being such a huge indie Australian animation company with something as viral as Digital Circus making them shit tons of money.I also vaguely recall that the company behind the animation for Rise of the TMNT and Lego Monkie Kid also did the animation for the original Blinkie Bill cartoon.
>>146319662Never heard of this one. Great artstyle, like Big City Greens if it was good.
Midnight bump.
>>146311259Canadian co-production. Shame it was never animated like the opening was.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kED8B60nOKU
American co-production, one that should've been a full series. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fjpFU9JvgFQ
>>146334160This character design is ugly. Monoeye and big oval noses. It doesn't appear to have a Wikipedia page either. >>146334275>Slip slop slapLewd.>>146335041What the heck, is this episode all about farts? The animated opening is nice though.>>146335706>Shame it was never animated like the opening was.You could the same for many cartoons.>>146335731Feels very Ren & Stimpy / Spumco. I can see why this didn't get past the pilot, it's kind of the same old thing.
Gotta give it up to Walt Disney Animation Australia for producing some of the finest quality television animation for many 1990s Disney cartoons back in the day.Rivaling TMS in terms of good character design, movement flow, and expressiveness.Bernard Derriman worked there, maker of:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENnAa7rqtBM
Has anyone checked the TV channels recently? What is interesting on there nowadays, apart from Bluey?

What are these things. Ferrets?
>>146344688They're possums, believe it or not.
>>146335706It always disappointed me as a kid how boring the show itself was animated & storyboarded compared to the intro where it's just loads of crazy abstract imagery & nice frame by frame animation. There's no real variation to the camera angles on the backgrounds, it's just exceedingly flat shots as nice as they may look on their own.At least Yakkity looks cool in the original series bible. He looks like he stepped out of a 90s clipart CD.
>>146344688They don't look very possumy.

Where the hell can I watch Combat Wombat: Back 2 Back?
>>146345688Achingly funny movie. Teared up as much as I laughed at it, the scenes with Gracie's father hit extremely close to home at times and it choked me the fuck up. I love how wobbly & misshapen all the characters look. Stopmotion is great.
>>146345639It's lazy, but also Glen Keane. So it balances out.
