What would golden age cartoonists have thought of the golden age-inspired cartoons of the late 80’s-90’s renaissance?
>>151825945shows from the 90s and 2000s were the golden age
Chuck Jones was the only one that was alive during this period, did he ever say what he thought of these shows?
>>151826046He was asked about Tiny Toons and his reply was "If you had a retarded step-child in your family, would you comment on it publicly?"He was also upset that Roger Rabbit went with Avery/Clampett Daffy instead of his even though it was period-appropriate.
>>151825953No
>>151826246Clampett was more salty that none of the shows imitated his versions of Looney Tunes and kept that shit up to his death.
>>151825945Ren and Stimpy was more inspired from 1960s Terry Toons, it's not really the same kind of thing as the Warner and Disney afternoon stuff imitating the 40s cartoons.
>>151826288At least he didn't live to see man-made horrors beyond his comprehension. John K was his chosen one and that take on Beany and Cecil was a mess.
>>151826304Ren & Stimpy was heavily inspired by Bob Clampett though, the original series looks more general classic cartoon-influenced (more Tex Avery and Hannah Barbera adjacent) but the Clampett influence would be a lot more clear in John’s later work like the infamous APC and Cans without Labels.
>>151826279Yes
>>151826288Specifically Daffy Duck. He Hated Who Framed Roger Rabbit due to their decision to use the 40s version of Daffy and not his.
>>151826619No
>>151825953This is what normies think, in reality the 30’s-50’s were when animation flourished and were the most respected animation has ever been, every cartoon from that era influenced animation worldwide, and Looney Tunes and Tom and Jerry shorts are timeless comedic classics. The late 80’s-early 2000’s were the best cartoons have been since the golden age, but saying they’re better than what was from that period is like saying that a modern film is better than Citizen Kane or Casablanca.
>>151826721That was Jones. Clampett had been dead for several years and it was his version they used.
Sex with Judge Doom.
>>151826726Why?
>>151827853>>151827072
>>151825945Some of them actually worked on those like Ed Love (Disney, MGM, and Walter Lantz) worked on AOSTH, Norman Mccabe (Looney Tunes) worked on Tiny Toons, And Owen Fitzgerald (Disney, Fleischer, Warner Bros, Popeye, Pink Panther, And Looney Tunes) worked on Tiny Toons and the Sonic cartoons
>>151827919Keep in mind they treated Norman Mccabe like complete shit same with other old guys
>>151827919Chuck Jones also didn’t work on any /co/ media but he did animate the cartoon in Mrs. Doubtfire
>>151825945what do you mean what would they have thoughta lot of them were still alivesome of them were still working
>>151829274>Chuck Jones also didn’t work on any /co/ media?
>>151826046During the show's prime there was this article about Ren & Stimpy where they attempted to reach out to Chuck Jones but were turned down, with his spokeswoman telling them that he only talked to the news if he had something positive to say, and that “He thinks the story lines are a little more crude than he’s used to,”.https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1992-08-09-ca-6127-story.html>>151826246And overall Chuck Jones loathed Clampett.I think Clampett might've liked R&S considering his bond with John K and the other team members he was able to meet in his lifetime.As for Avery and the others, I don't know. Avery would've probably thought positively of them overall.
>>151830004Clampett wasn’t alive when stuff like Mighty Mouse and Ren & Stimpy were released, but I do agree that probably would’ve liked them a lot. IIRC John actually did some commentary on Clampett shorts with golden age animators.
>>151827072When it boils down, the late-80s to late-2000s were the pinnacle of the renaissance of TV animation as they were trying to return back to the Golden Age of Animation of the 30s-60s, as well as late-50s to early-70s era of Saturday morning animated TV. Ren & Stimpy was trying to emulate the stylings of Terrytoons, Harvey Comics, Tex Avery (specifically MGM and WB era works), Hanna-Barbera, and Clampett-era WB, while The Simpsons came to reshape what The Flinstones used to do with it being a primetime animated series, but for a new, broader generation audiences by tackling the culture, political and socialistic landscape of '90s Americana. Both would kickstart a new generation of animation for both decades.
