What made old cartoons better?

Shading.

>>153157949
Income taxes on the wealthy
>>
>>153157949
Lack of social media to make the writers irony-poisoned or obsessed with politics.

Nostalgia

Not given voices to the loudest and most easily offended was a big plus

A writing team that had genuinely different perspectives on things that fined-tuned scripts to not be shit.

>>153157949
Cels and real inks and paints. Digital completely destroyed animation.
>>
>>153157949
Network TV ad revenue.

And sometimes that sweet toy money

Artists still came from a variety of backgrounds. Much like politics, art has become less of a thing people can choose to get involved in and more of a demographic caste.
>>
>>153157949
Experimentation. Back in the day when a channel wanted an adult cartoon they basically just threw some cash at a creative because they had no idea about the medium. In current year when CEO man asks for a show they just ask for Family Guy.
Also >>153157965, digital over traditional Cell impacted the art side of things a lot. This was also a noticable thing in anime but they actually got better for big shows.
>>
>>153159629
I miss when adult animation didn't mean Family Guy or Bob's Burger clones.

Talent, sincerity, better quality control.
>>
>>153157949
a lack of risk aversion, which came from a functioning economy and a massive viewerbase
>>153157974
anon... do you have any idea how fucking infuriating it is to people over 25 to year this bizarre claim you have that we were somehow MORE socialist in the 90s than now?

anime shading got better but art got worse. because the new guys couldn't learn directly from the old guys, since they literally didn't understand the new tools.

I imagine that working with actual paints would mean you'd have to be very thoughtful with backgrounds, color palettes, and shading for each scene.
I like digital convenience but the process and limitations of traditional cel animation probably forced them to think smarter and use their creativity vs. what we have nowadays.

You say that like it’s a bad thing it’s millennials people hate not Gen X.

Lil bro thinks 80k a year is wealthy. You're basically a serf with a nice hat.

>>153157949
They were made by people with actual talent and life experience, not manchildren who just copied whatever cartoons and anime they grew up with.

God bless Ronald Reagan.

What I wouldn't give for a Daria like show instead family guy clone#15336
>>
CRT TVs
>>
>>153157949
the voice acting in Daria is really pleasing to the ear. Everyone's voice is very distinct. Except Mac Daddy cause they kept changing his va every few episodes for awhile.

You were younger and less cynical toward the media with which you engaged.

how can I have nostalgia for things I saw for the first time this year?

>>153157965
this, people would be less inclined to notice bad or lazy animation if the individual frames themselves were pretty to look at

Because you apply modern cynicism to current stuff

You are a faggot

There's nothing wrong with using digital over cels. It's not coming back, ever. The only problem is that the people who paint in digital need to learn how to paint with the careful hand that traditional once did.

Made by better people.
