Does /co/ remember Longhair and Doubledome? It was very close to getting picked up as a series, but executives passed on it for being "Too smart" for kidshttps://youtu.be/Ry8yTXhjCYQhttps://youtu.be/HGTRi2f84mohttps://youtu.be/2CjVYR3QRQQ?t=980
>>150156213I remember them playing those two shorts a lot in the evenings in I think like, the summer of 2002? As a kid I thought they were the first episode of an actual show and was really confused that I never saw any new episodes.
>>150156213Sad! Better than Robot Jones.
They did a weird parody short too, with Doubledome being a washed up actor. https://files.catbox.moe/howm0h.mp4
>>150156213I only rememberit for the dub.
>>150156375Robot Jones lost the vote but got a cartoon anyway. Why?
>>150156213It was a good cartoon all things considered
>>150156213>When I'm using "The Big Wheeee!" and "This is a long fall"
>>150156595I assume nepotism since Greg Miller already worked on previous Cartoon Network shows like Dexter's Lab and Cow & Chicken. He also previously did bumpers for 2 Stupid Dogs.
>>150156595What’s wrong with robot jones? Saying that as someone who never liked it but never really hated it
Whatever happened to those new generation Cartoon Cartoons shorts?
>>150156834Not funny and unoriginal.
>>150156595I'm pretty sure there was some weird internal politicking going on because they reran the shorts still for a while after the contest like it was going to be an actual show, while I don't remember them doing that for Robot Jones at all.
>>150158952Do you have the schedule?
Back when these shorts were all airing on TV, these were the only ones I actually remembered that weren't the shows that got picked up.Well, that's not exactly true. I did remember watching My Freaky Family and Swaroop, I think? But Longhair and Doubledome were the ones I remember LOVING, like genuinely wanting to see more of, I thought they were hilarious.Contrary to most in this thread I was actually glad to see Robot Jones picked up, when I was a kid I thought the robot voice was really awesome. Then of course they ruined that.Billy and Mandy and KND were ultimately the right choices, KND especially was a concept the network would've been idiots to pass up.
>>150157678What about hitler principal
>>150156834Robot Jones was this weird collection of ideas that were all unappealing but seemed to be hitting with executives at the time.>science/robots>50's or 60's influence>awkward protagonist>school drama as a plotJimmy Neutron and Teenage Robot were similar, but far far better.
>>150158952>weird internal politickingWell, yes, Gav's liaison at CN was fired and replaced with someone who had a show on CN and didn't want competition.
>>150160638It's amazing how corpo politics utterly ruined CN. So many examples of "some new executive replaced the old one, and the new executive didn't like that [successful show] didn't have their fingerprints on it so they sabotaged it". Crabs in a bucket garbage.
>>150160046I wouldn’t say Billy and Mandy.It’s a mistake desu
>>150160691And then we got idiots on the CN real era.
>>150160571>>50's or 60's influenceRobot Jones was a really overt homage to 70s non-Hanna-Barbera productions like Schoolhouse Rock. Which is probably part of why it was so unappealing because Schoolhouse Rock is like the only non-theatrical thing from that era with any lasting appeal.
>>150160571You’re kinda right with JN and MLAATR.Yeah and kinda seems like it should’ve been LH and DD to have instead of RJ
>>150160691In retrospect it's kind of amazing that CN didn't go to complete shit earlier, you could already see the signs of things going wrong by the early 00s.
>>150156690JUST "good"?
>>150156213ooga booga
>>150156213Cool
>>150156430KEK!
>>150157057Cancelled and written off.
That interview is so cursed. I feel bad for the guy.
>>150160571Wasn't it very expensive too, still used cel animation in 2002.
>>150160949They tried to sabotage Tingblad's Johnny Bravo, CN was always retarded.
>>150156595
>>150164677What would a fifth Johnny Bravo season be like if it had both Tingblad and Van working on it?
>>150164395No they have been screening recently this past Comic-Con, but they didn't make sure when they're going to get released tho
>>150164677So they didn't like it because it wasn't Powerpuff
>>150165530fuck it, what would the 5th season be like if they were able to get seth and butch back
>>150156595Greg Miller was very talented, he was only 26 and worked on a bunch of cartoons by then.
>>150156213Caveman kino
>>150156213What is this, yo?
>>150156213>executives passed on it for being "Too smart" for kidsOf course...
>>150156375>>150156595Fuck you, Robot Jones was great, despite the constant abuse he gets
>>150168045And yet, Sheep in the Big City was broadcasted despite being “Too smart” for kids
>>150164657Also the last show to use it
>>150156430DomeJack Caveman
>>150168511That was Ed Edd n Eddy, they only switched to digital for season 5 because the company that made the paint they used for cel animation literally went out of business. Robot Jones ended before EEnE's 4th season had finished production.
>>150168326Probably because Mo Willems created it/voiced the mad scientist
>>150169227Kys Edfag
>>150156213Looks weird
>>150156213Not bad.
Digressing a little, I think I remember he had an art blog where he would dump sketches and some of them were Judy Jetson pinups, was I tripping?
>>150171078He did an interview with Atomshttps://www.patreon.com/posts/b-m-vs-animation-98188740?l=es
>>150171078Post more.
>>150157057I feel like this is the third time they've tried to do a Cartoon Cartoons short anthology only for it to not actually air
>>150172182No budget
>>150171807Tf I am telling you I can't find it
Nepotism is shit, kys.
He did a kickstarter and it failed, lmao!https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/259218198/gavrilo-gnatovichs-longhair-and-doubledome-episode
>>150156213Didn't know they had a second episode.
>>150173668Sad!
>>150173587He tried again with a graphic novel Kickstarter and that's been in development hell for the last 8 years.
>came back from work and thread is still up So THIS is the power of Longhair and Doubledome...
>>150173542Damn... Imagine if a Cleveland animation industry could've popped up had this pitch made it to series
>>150168326sheep was the trigger that told the execs 'never again' also sheep was greenlit under the old ted turner / hanna-barbera CN. by the time of longhair it was fully under Warner control
>>150160502That shit was hilarious. Love how that got past the censors without any second thoughts
At least it will always be a part of the GOAT cartoon network flash game
>>150173587>lmao!What’s wrong with you?
>>150167999Old failed cartoon network pilot(s)
>>150171141Neat find!
>>150176789I remember this, Uncle Gus was lost media for the longest time.
>>150156213Any relation to The Croods?
>>150178512No, the concept of LH & DD was it was the "first" of everything. First fire, first wheel, first money, first music, first manners etc...
>>150160502ROOOOOBOOOOOT JOOOOONES!!!!! FOR THE LAST TIME, I AM NOT HITLER!!!
>Billy and Mandy won the first Big Pick>Robot Jones still got a show in 2nd place>KND wins second Big Pick>Kitty Bobo doesn't get a show in 2nd placeDo we blame Robot Jones for this?
>>150179339From what I remember of Kitty Bobo, it really didn't feel like it fit CN. More Adult Swim.
>>150179359Shouldn't made the pilot about cellphones.
>>150179314lel
>>150179910Is this a reference to Cartoon Network’s hatred of anything involving technology?
>>150156213This drawing is stupid. America didn't exist yet back in the time of dinosaurs
>>150157106Do a flip
>>150156595Robot jones was quino
>>150180884It's posters for the Big Pick contest. They did one for all pilots.
