7/5/2023 0 Comments Thundercats remake![]() “ Nine Old Men had a lot of skill going for them but the animation and design by the time they were truly old was decadent and formulaic,” wrote Kricfalusi. The post embedded a number of character designs from Disney movies and alleged that those designs had been essentially regurgitated by CalArts grads ever since. ![]() ![]() Although Kricfalusi had been reportedly using the phrase since the early 1990s, a 2010 blog post where he wrote about the style helped the criticism take off. It has been used against so many shows with such a wide range of design that it really means nothing more than “I don’t like it” - Rob Renzetti May 19, 2018Ĭonsensus pins the proliferation of “CalArts style” as a pejorative on John Kricfalusi, better known as John K, the disgraced creator of Ren & Stimpy who was accused of underage sexual abuse in 2018. “CalArts style” as a term of derision goes all the way back to the early 90’s and was leveled against many of the shows I was involved in. One school in particular, the California Institute of the Arts, was in the hot seat, as fans complained about how this lighter take on ThunderCats was drawn not in the muscle-rippling “realistic” style of the original show, but rather in something they derisively called “CalArts Style.”ġ000% agree. And the initial trailer sent a number of fans to Twitter to gripe about its artistic style by targeting a handful of alma maters. Where the original show took its alien battles and good-vs.-evil conflict seriously, Thundercats Roar is a hyper, kid-focused take on the same characters, setting, and world. ![]() ThunderCats Roar is Cartoon Network’s reboot of the classic 1980s sword-and-sorcery animated series featuring feline humanoid aliens. But the announcement of Cartoon Network’s animated parody series Thundercats Roar saw the animation fandom butting heads over a rare topic: college. and it doesn't help everyone else does the exact opposite and always opposes him no matter what, just to give some fake conflict.There’s always a debate raging in the world of animation, whether it’s the presence of women in the writers room or a cartoon geek’s constitutional right to Szechuan sauce (thanks to the rowdy Rick and Morty fandom). One episode he's angry and says they need to avenge his dad, the next he's scared and whiny and says they need to run. again, maybe in the original show, but we only learn about them then and there. I dunno if it's big in the original, but they made it out like some huge plot twist how Cheetara was a cleric, but we've never heard of them before. He would have been better as season 2 or 3 material. the only reason he was brought in was because he was in the original show. Why introduce the mummy guy? I know he was like the Skeletor of Thundercats, but he felt forced here and they didn't do anything with him. they throw a lot of stuff in the premier just for the sake of fan-service for people who watched the original show, which I didn't, so it makes no sense to me. It seems to have the same problem a lot of American cartoons have the violence and story is laughably bad and simple, and there's 'moral of the day' plots every episode, with it's episodic nature. So in retro speck its not cheesy wannabe like Avatar the Last Airbender (Good series though), and its not strictly anime either. I like how also the creators are working with American animators, and Anime artists, to bring this series to life. ![]() That way the stories do not get overwhelming, and it moves at a good pace, without fillers, and it has different journeys so there will be character development. I think they are planning this Thundercats series to have a bunch of episode arcs. Way better than Saving Private Ryan, its a true story, and its as good as Black Hawke Down! Sorry about the bunny trail anyways. Very much in a sense like Band of Brothers if none of you have seen this, you have to watch this. They are trying to create to have an animated movie feel, but being spread out into an episode arc. This way its not going tirelessly in random directions, and filled with fillers, which I like. What the creators are planning on doing with the new Thundercats is that it will be a 13 episode arc. ![]()
