ITT: Cartoons that got theatrical movies.
This is an oscar nominated movie.Let that sink in.
What were they thinking?
>>153680165Would modern audiences call this a NIMBY movie?
>>153680165Everyone know this movie
>>153680283From what I remember Disney included it as part of their original show contract and even the creator was like "What the fuck?"
>>153682025That would be like if Squirrel Boy got a movie. Nobody's opposed to the idea, but did anyone expect it?

>>153682229Doug?
>>153682243Doug got a theatrical release for zero reason whatsoever
>>153680176and it is kino
TADC
>>153682292>So confident that you'll get a second movie that you call it the first movieHow embaressing.
>>153680165So, are they getting a second movie or the Paramount deal killed it?
>>153682424well, it worked for Pokemon
>>153682229Missed the preschool shit, Clifford, Paw Patrol, Gabby's Dollhouse, and the Spirit cartoon all got theatrical movies.
>>153682292>for zero reason whatsoeverDoug was super popular in the early 90s and Disney thought that popularity would continue with their own version, and were trying to compete with Nick making their own theatrical adaptations of cartoons. The problem was that by the late 90s Doug's popularity had already fallen pretty hard because other shows took the same premise and did it better, so Disney ended up releasing a movie for a version of a show that wasn't popular based on a show that hadn't been popular in years. So there's a reason it exists, it was just a gigantic corporate blunder.
>>153682582I remember being hyped for the Doug movie as a kid
The beast who shall not be made got one. In fact the fanbase was so rabid at one point that a lot of theaters screened the fucking straight to dvd movies where they were humans. yes I did go to one and yes it was embarrassing as hell
>>153682025>and even the creator was like "What the fuck?"lmao that's funny
>>153684354I remember being so incredibly hyped for the movie when it got announced and then in the 1-2 years my interest in the show cratered and to this day I still haven't seen it. I still think about the chisai umas almost daily
Given how shit western cartoons have become and things like TADC growing so huge that the finale is being screened in theaters, is this going to be the last one of its kind? I know they're making another simpsons movie and I also know Family Guy/South Park are allegedly "ending" with a movie plus I'm sure there will be more Spongebob movies, but all of that feels more like holdovers. Like we're never going to get another movie based on some random show like Primal or Smiling Friends or Gumball or something that doesn't even exist yet. The genre has dried out.I loved this movie though, it was a great musical and would have been the perfect send off for the show.
>>153684520I lost interest pretty much as soon as Lauren got shitcanned, but I ended up seeing the movie anyway because my niece was super into it. It sucked. Like, Oogielove in Balloon Adventure/Thomas & The Magic Railroad bad.
Mexico just did one. I don't know if it's been translated yet.
>>153684524Bluey's getting a movie so I wouldnt hedge my bets on Bob being the last of its kind. We'll just have to wait on future trendsetters I guess.
>>153680283>It's the reason why sucessful things like Kim Possible, Phineas And Ferb and maybe Gravity Falls never had a theatrical film>Nothing personal bro
>>153682470Dont they technically have three movies since the other two were DTV? Either way it wouldnt be that big of a loss. >>153682229The fact Klasky saw so much success with their theatrical releases still baffles me
>>153684595Yeah but is it going to get a theatrical release or will it be a straight to netflix thing like zim/avatar/loud house?Honestly I've always been shocked there wasn't talk about a Rick & Morty. We all know the show is ass but it is undeniably popular and at one point was bigger than the simpsons. I guess the ATHF movie really soured Adult Swim away from the idea
>>153682292I will forever be baffled at the implication that Doug not only had the power for a theatrical movie, but also that it would get more than one theatrical movie.
>>153684354I completely forgot that existed.
>>153681960With this film’s reputation, I’m kind of shocked it only made $140 million.
>>153684646The Bluey Movie is supposed to come to theaters next year (and is also supposed to be CGI for some reason).
>>153680165
>>153687220Kino, unironically
>>153684524>another movie based on some random show like Primal or Smiling Friends or GumballAre Primal and Gumball big enough to get theatrical movies? Most people don't know about Primal and Gumball lost its momentum in 2020.
>>153690305Gumball probably was, but the time to make a theatrical movie is definitely passed.
>>153687220This was actually pretty good movie.
>>153684524Do streaming films count? Trollhunters is one "random show" that comes to mind that got a movie
>>153682499Pokemon was already a juggernaut with a lot of other media behind it, Doug was just a mediocre cartoon.
>>153690405A shame the gumball movie didn't happen. If the movie of fucking TTG was genuinely good and infinitely better than the show I wanted to see what the writers of Gumball could do.
>>153684354The 2017 movie was unironically really good
>>153682025I recall Disney execs pitched the suggestion to the series crew about making a movie out of the show if the show peaks in popularity, which it never did, since kids was largely turned off of the show's ugly artstyle, that they didn't bother tuning in, the production begin after the 1st episode was completed, and the film was finished when at the same time the show ended its run and was released long after the show stopped airing.
>>153682292The problem with the Doug movie is it's Disney Doug and no one gave a fuck about Disney Doug, and they decided to make the neematoad a real thing and made it look like a complete fucking retard instead of the swamp monster it was originally designed as.
>>153680283I’m surprised people bring that movie up, I mean it ends with you can be a big you’re a dog, accept how you’re born. It’s a very anti trans message.
>>153680283It was ambitious...
>>153680283I remember renting this as a kid and not even finishing it because I was so bored
>>153682292It was originally supposed to be a straight to video movie but became a theatrical release at the last second due to the rugrats movie being successful.
>>153680951>arnold kills a project that would have brought jobs to hillwood because he wanted to save his slumsHow small is Arnold's neighborhood that a mall could replace it
>>153694837the implication was the mall was the size of a small city. it was a critique of consumerism.
>>153682499Pokemon 2000 had already been announced in Japan by the time the First Movie was being localised. so they knew there were other movies
>>153694837The mall could have been built somewhere other than the downtown core. Malls full of national chains frequently kill municipal economies, take more jobs away long term than the ones they create in the short term, and make the surrounding areas more car dependent. Furthermore, specialised retailers owned and operated by locals can better contribute to local culture when not beholden to corporate brand standards. Urban planning is a nuanced and fascinating field of study.
>>153682424Write the premise for a second Doug movie, right now.
>>153695782>car dependentthis is such a silly talking point. it's like saying homes are 'electricity dependent' or hospitals are 'medicine dependent'.
>>153694837They already had jobs.
Love this movie, had it on VHS.
>>153694837Malls are bad for long term growth
>>153695892Cars require far more space per commuter, more specialised infrastructure, lower density to accommodate parking, etc.Multi-modal development that keeps the places you need and want to go close together means having way more options than a multi-thousand dollar machine that isn't usable for children, the elderly, and the disabled. Pedestrians, cyclists, and transit users all use way fewer public resources per journey than driving. The only reason driving seems convenient for most trips is if every other option has been sacrificed at the planning and zoning level. Suburban sprawl also forces utilities to be run over longer wires/pipes and drains public budgets. The world's oldest functioning cities solved the problem of how to arrange homes, businesses, public works, and resources thousands of years before cars. Before the 1930s plenty of American cities were navigable by foot, bicycle, or public transit. I'm not anti-car, I'm against other ways of moving being worse because designs started with cars and worked backwards from there rather than trying to make getting around and getting things done efficient for everyone.There are legitimate reasons to like driving and cars, but fewer options for non-drivers means higher costs and worse traffic for everyone. More options for getting around means less competition for time and space on the road, thus making driving better too!
>>153680283I didn't grow up with Cable, so I watched Teacher's Pet without even knowing it was based on a TV show. Finding that out in the DVD bonus features was quite a treat
>>153680283>What were they thinking? They weren't.
>>153696149>more space per commuterand? we don't live in Monaco. they also enable the population to live more spread-out, reducing strain on major arterial routes. >more specialised infrastructurethere is nowhere a bus goes that a car can't>lower densitythis is good>blah blah walking distancespeople don't actually want this. they suffer this when cars have been made prohibitively expensive to own. note how literally all the personal complaints against car ownership boil down to costs. even in "muh public transport masterpiece" Japan they still had to tax the shit out of car ownership to stop regular people from seeing them as a viable alternative to trains. if busses and trains were better, this wouldn't be necessary.>use fewer public resourcesif I paid for them I will use them as I damn well please. if your concern is about cost then why not just engage in population culls? save even more money. >the worlds oldest citieswere built to be fortresses for kings and deliberately difficult for foreigners to navigate so they were more easily defendable, which has in the modern day made them significantly less efficient for the demands of a modern society and economy. which is why the US, built with commerce in mind, went from an agrarian backwater to the preeminent world power in less than a century. the US solved city planning, not Europe. >before the 1930s in the USand? the biggest economic boom in American history happened after the car became the norm. because people were no longer shackled to the borough in which they worked, which opened up a breadth of economic opportunity for people. >means higher costsfalse. cars make it so you have more options for housing, because you can live anywhere.>worse trafficTokyo and London have significantly worse traffic and longer commute times than any US city. Tokyo and London usually being the model for public transit.
Here's a fun take: What is the last obscure cartoon you watched that you wished had a theatrical movie for a global audience?
>>153698251>What is the last obscure cartoon you watched that you wished had a theatrical movie for a global audience?Nope, can't think of any. Modern cartoons are so shit and the ones that do get movies are even shittier or just a normal episode that runs really long.
>>153698428Have you ever watched old cartoons that you missed when you were young, or just never noticed? There are a whole lot of them, you know.
>>153692777>I’m surprised people bring that movie up, I mean it ends with you can be a big you’re a dog, accept how you’re born. It’s a very anti trans messageFeel good hippy types cant square that body positivity is anti various minorties.Cant really grow tirs and get a fake vagina by accepting your body
>>153698463Oh sorry, read your post wrong. Thought you were referring to just modern cartoons. As for your question, it saddens my heart Big Guy and Rusty never became big Hell, just about everything from this studio was good.
>>153691305Besides the makers of TTG modern cartoonists seem afraid to make feature lenght movies
>>153682229The Day the Earth Blew Up is technically the Looney Tunes Cartoons movie.>>153698251How obscure? I think most DTVA shows could sustain a movie. But I'll give it to The Mighty Ones, I could've actually seen that one getting a 2D slapstick film like the SpongeBob movie.
>>153694837>first Hey Arnold movie turns out to be better than the long-awaited Jungle Movie Even Simpsons didn't screw up their movie nearly as bad despite having similar production delays. Some TV-to-film adaptations just weren't meant to be

>>153699344who asked you?
>>153695935goated movie goated soundtrack too
>>153690305Primal no, Gumball yes.
>>153695892>when your brain is so rotted by status quo bias you can't distinguish between a deliberately designed system and a practical necessity
>>153697547>t.carbrain
>>153700608If you want more people to use mass transit, start by making it something people want to use on their own volition instead of a choice of last resort and/or something people are (in either practicality and/or legal coercion) forced to use.
