Cool song.
what was the point of making this show animatedit could be live action and nothing would change
>>154595987
>>154595987Don't have to keep recasting children once they age out of the role.
>>154595987you could say the same about king of the hill, but i doubt it would have done as well live action. better question is what was the point of having this show and all grown up
>>154596198The funny art and expressions in koth add to the humor. With as told by ginger, the horrific klasky csupo artstyle actively holds the series back. Just compare this art and animation to contemporary shojo anime that were airing at the same time. It's like nickelodeon wanted this show to fail. The thing to is it's actually well written with many great characters. With a more appealing artstyle it could have been an all timer beloved classic like AtLA is.

This is a fucking great show. Practically in a class of its own. Fucking iconic.
I groaned whenever this came on, boring ass school girl bullshit.
>>154595987>>154596198even in a grounded setting where nothing whacky happens, animation is still useful for granting total control over everything that happensevery expression, outfit is intentional, and every background is intentionally madelive-action is going to have to make concessions to realitynot just the obvious ways like "you cant fly in real life" but also actors growing up, actors not being available, light not shining the way you want, only sets already constructed can be used

>>154595987>they hated him because he told the truthAs a boy with an older sister I watched a few of these shows, and while I legitimately couldn't figure out teen girl drama, I still thought Lizzie McGuire was basically this show but better in nearly every way (except for Lizzie/Kate not ending up like Ginger/Courtney).

>>154595970>somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
i avoided this show because it looked exclusively for girls, but when i gave it a chance it was good. the art style is still unappealing, especially for a dramatic series. this studio was at their peak when making stuff like ahh real monsters and the men in black series. rugrats worked because babies are weird looking and gross anyway
>>154596198That was true in the early seasons, but later they did stuff that would be difficult for a sitcom TV show, like the episode with the pork processing tycoon or the skydiving episode or 'Bill crashes out and commandeers a tank from his army base'
>>154599839even discounting obviously fantastical moments like stealing a tank, things like hitting a deer with a car, or a car getting rammed by a train, work better in animationyou would almost certainly not see the deer and bobby in the same shot in live-action for numerous reasons including safety of the actorsbut in animation, you can show the actual dead body of the deer and have them move it aroundyou wouldnt see stuff like that in live-action outside of prestige shows like breaking bad
>>154595987true. the artstyle is so ugly
>>154595970Mostly only watched it because my older sister did. Was only 6 when it started airing, so I didn't get it much, but hey, we still enjoyed it together.
>>154599696I am not the sharpest noob in the server
>>154597989I know the show gets shit on for its art style and being for girls. But it's truly a gem and holds up surprisingly well.It does a great job at tackling some tough topics for young teens that sometimes ended messily. Makes me wonder if such a show could even exist today given how everything favors short form content with happy endings.
>>154596258Nah, the ugliness works in its favor. It's not some stylized presentation of beautiful people, it's lives of ordinary people.
Courtney was a much better friend to Ginger than Dodie ever was.
>>154599054Superior
That episode with the teacher passing away was pretty bold honestly.
>>154596696The style worked for rugrats and even wild thornberries and rocket power, but girls don't want to look at these ugly ass character designs, girls like watching shows that look pretty and cute and feature attractive people-aka sailor moon
>>154595970First animated show I've seen were they wesr different clothes every day.
>>154595970
>>154595970>episode about rmoving Courtney's bikini top>original airing had Ginger jump in too late to cover her lack of proper tits>parents complained so they had to redo it showing her not getting exposedgay
>>154602802Yes.Yes, it was.And touching.
>>154602251Was that meant to be intentional?
>>154599839>the episode with the pork processing tycoonpure kino, one of the best halloween episodes of all time
>Mirhanda is the only character in the show that doesn't have her lips on her chin.what did they mean by this?
>>154602939Even worse is>Carl becomes a nudist but not Ginger
>>154595970>AWN THE OTHA SIDE
>>154604055Because everyone else looks like a monster.
>>154604055Miranda is the most self aware of the cast and therefore has the most human-like appearance.
So who wins in a "biggest bitch" competition? Jodie from ATBG, Dijonnay from the Proud Family, or the reigning champ, Peggy Hill from KOTH?
>>154605399Peggy is mostly just an idiot. Honestly it's kind of a tossup; I used to say Jodie but now we have an entire sequel series of Dijonnay being a shitty friend.
>>154604556>AAAHH! Real Monsters (1994)
bump
>>154595970>>154598122>>154602251>>154605399
>>154595987Because the creators were a cartoon studio. Even if Nickelodeon had thought of turning it into a live-action, it would have been toned down; even Clarissa Explains It All, which is vanilla, had pushback before being approved.There are a lot of things you can get away with in a cartoon.
