We're currently living in a second dark age of cartoons, maybe even worse than the 1970s and especially with the movies that have come out this year (Smurfs, Spark, The Emoji Movie, Rock Dog, Boss Baby and the upcoming films such as The Nut Job 2 and The Star) yes I can say that we are living in a second dark age of western animation in whch none of the better shows on now (Steven Universe, Star vs The Forces of Evil) can save us from this horrible dreck we're living in (Teen Titans Go, The Powerpuff Girls (2016), Bunsen Is Beast, Ben 10 (2016), Cloudy, Marvel's Spiderman, Wacky Races 2017 and more)

Computer animation was a mistake.

Call me a faggot for saying this, but I don't think any year so far will compare to the 80's in terms of low quality animation. Say what you will of the cartoons made as of late, but at least studios in present day are trying make something of their writing and animation.

Numerous cartoons in the 80s not only had very amateurish writing and paper thin characters, but the animation was eyesore in every perspective imaginable. Also, compared to 2017, at least studios nowadays are attempting to make original properties of their own. While people in the 80s were too afraid of taking any risks, that a huge chunk of them were based off already existing properties.

TL;DR No, 2017 isn't the worst year for animation. Most of the 80s were.

>>956366

Also, think about this when thinking about 2017 and the 80s. Name 7 good animated series from 2017, and then name 7 good animated from anywhere in the 80s.

I get that you're specifically talking about the toyline crap animated films, but they were still well animated well despite having crap stories.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Transformers:_The_Movie

>>956471

I was talking about animated TV series, actually.

>>956470

I probably should clarify that I was talking about TV series, and not movies.

>>956472

>>956473

Oh if that's the case, then I agree. A lot of corners were cut for them to be released.

Get the fuck back to tumblr

I could probably think of a few years that were worse, but this year was pretty bad too. I think 2017 could be summed up with one word: forgettable. I just looked at the list and I realized I had forgotten that half of these movies even existed. That being said, LEGO Batman probably wins movie of the year IMO.

Batman and Harley Quinn

The Boss Baby

Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie

Cars 3

Coco

Despicable Me 3

The Emoji Movie

Ferdinand

Hey Arnold!: The Jungle Movie

The Jetsons & WWE: Robo-WrestleMania!

Justice League Dark

The LEGO Batman Movie

The LEGO Ninjago Movie

Loving Vincent

My Little Pony: The Movie

The Nut Job 2: Nutty by Nature

Smurfs: The Lost Village

The Star

Surf’s Up 2: WaveMania

Teen Titans: The Judas Contract

Tom and Jerry: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

>>956510

To be fair, the MLP movie was at least 2D… so thats… something? Maybe? Even though it looks like Winx.

>>956510

You forgot Sing and Trolls… I think.

And Trolls is one of the worse on the list.

Holy shit Dreamworks is dead. Makes me sad, I liked them better than Pixar for some time, but after Zootopia and Moana vs Boss Baby and Trolls I must say… holy shit guys. You're dead.

>>956511

To a starving man a crumb is a feast.

>>956511

>>>/pone/

>>956521

I didn't even watch it you fuck, I just admired that it's 2D. God I miss 2D.

>>956513

Sing and Trolls came out in 2016

>>956560

It's not The House Shrek Built for nothing

>>956370

>Steven Jewliverse

>Loliconbait: Western Edition 2: Cuckqueen Boogaloo

Consider eating high-velocity lead.

>>956536

Then why'd you bring it up, fag?

>>956490

>>956573

Being better than pure shit doesn't prevent something from being garbage.

>>956560

>tfw Miguel and Tulio were supposed to be a franchise

>tfw never ever

>>956374

Agreed. It's because of that that all 2D animated movies are direct to video.

>>956600

>I told myself I would never turn into the "lel this time of cartoons was better" faggot

Why?

>>956566

It's kind of sad how Shrek changed Dreamworks for the worse. Because of Shrek and Shrek 2 they learned from those films that pop culture references were all you need despite what made Shrek work was that it was a satire of Disney films. The second one had too much pop culture references but was still fun. Hopefully, with stuff like HWTYD and Kung Fu Panda they're moving away from that.

God I have such fond memories of that. I owned the books, have 2 boxes of the comics, own the toys and even the animated movies.

>>956643

>tfw chans have higher standards than actual modern society.

>>956645

Yeah I also said to myself when somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me, that I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed.

>>956578

Because. My point is. That it's fucking 2D.

Holy shit no wonder you retards elected that president, you're dumb as fuck.

>>956643

>don't read bad stuff because it's bad

>can't appreciate good stuff unless I try the bad one

Good job whacking the point out of the window

Go fuck yourself, that post was actually /tv/ tier.

Every time all I can remember is how much of a loser you have to be to miss a 2 feet shot with a shotgun.

>>956676

>hnnnnnng I'm so mad at you you fucking GORNALD BRAMPT electer!!!

You'd think people would have figured out by now that doing this is embarrassing.

>>956366

It will only be remembered for the loli tbh.

>>956799

Living under these conditions is embarrassing.

>>956800

Not even that. Ripoff-movies have hotter characters than this.

>Anti-Trump posts aren't deleted.

>Post mocking Obongo, Europe, and Cuckeau get deleted

I wonder ((who's)) behind these deletions.

>>956807

>Living under these conditions is embarrassing

Losing your Obongo food stamps and tranny troops?

>>956829

I don't understand any of the shit you say.

>>956370

This. The animation was shit on Rocky & Bullwinkle but it had decent writing and humour, and Hanna-Barbera cartoons were simple because they had no budget not because >don't need to learn anatomy, it's my artstyle to draw like a 7-y/o., your criticism is problematic. 80s toy commercial shows occasionally managed to slip in something fanservicey, not-unfunny or at least not-cringe-inducing for parents or for the lulz.

>>956510

started living under a rock/not giving af around 2010-12, clue me in fags

>Batman and Harley Quinn

I thought that was a vidya, it looked like a vidya

>The Boss Baby

>Cars 3

>Coco

>Despicable Me 3

>The LEGO Ninjago Movie

first I've heard of it, don't even know what it is

>Loving Vincent

>My Little Pony: The Movie

>The Nut Job 2: Nutty by Nature

>Teen Titans: The Judas Contract

did it suck as hard as the Nu/calartsTT show?

>Tom and Jerry: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

heard it was terrible

oh good the thread has turned into more political diarrhea

>>957187

>was this a sequel? they made another one after nobody liked it?

It’s basically a soft reboot without all the “real world” crap, more tolerable mostly by being more bland and forgettable

>>957187

>first one wasn't total shit

Despicable Me 1 was fine until there was that unicorn book with the hole in it. And all I was thinking of for the rest of the movie was him sticking his dick through that hole and letting the girls play with the "unicorn".

>>956370

>We're currently living in a second dark age of cartoons, maybe even worse than the 1970s and especially with the movies that have come out this year

Dark age!? A worser describing I give this generation of animation with so many riggid animated show I saw on TV, cinema and online in 3D and 2D that trigger a lot of those lazy animators is: Rise Of Digital Puppetry

>>957275

Well they’ve certainly learned to hide it better than the 90s and 00s

>>957115

You need some mileage before you can understand cryptic D&C shills.

>obviously leftypol posting

Obongo is out of office and Trudeau praised Islam.

>Seeing anime and adult animations as a kid

<Wow hopefully one day we'll see these become more popular

>See anime getting increasingly popular over the years

>It's become garbage as well with some gems here and there

<Adult animation is Simpsons and 30 Mcfarlane shows with maybe some one off European movies/series

Media get's shittier the more we dwell into the future and now not even our geek safe spaces are safe from normalfags and politics.

Fuck everything

Glad to see this thread wasn't deleted by cuckchanner mods

Everyone of us knows that feel bro, just have to call out the shilling for the awful nu-garbage when you see it. Everyone on 8ch agrees that nu-anime is nothing but moefag trash.

>>971936

And we're supposed to like this shitty state of affairs? Fuck off.

He and Dan "Get in the Van" Schneider are the final bosses of Nickelodeon.

>>956366

I'm not sure if it's the worst, but it was really bad overall. Nice to know the art schools are still pushing out talentless hacks. Does anyone have the infographs on how bad modern art schools are? And that most employed artists don't even have degrees? I was trying to find them the other day with no luck.

>>956676

What does Trump have to do with this? No one even brought up politicians until you mentioned him.

>>956560

Dreamworks baffles me. They've shown they can put out amazing movies, but simultaneously they've also put out god awful movies. It makes me wonder if they really had talent at the company, or if they just got lucky a few times and had no clue how to continue those successes.

>>956716

Ironically he's barely remembered because most of the mainstream news sites never covered him. How was he even that bad at using a gun anyway? I only shot guns a few times on a range when I was roughly half his age and yet I was still more accurate than him.

>all the hipster faggots who had mommy and daddy pay out the ass so they could go to calarts

>they're objectively awful

>in some cases, they started with moderate skill and got far worse by the time they graduate

>their work has dragged down the animation industry into one of its lowest points

>every single person who worked the same industry, on the same channels, in the same studios as these hipster faggots, all vociferously advocate against going to college for art or even hiring art school students

He was using a pistol grip only shotgun. They're infamous for being impossible to aim well, due to their recoil and not having a stock to brace against.

Skip to 6:20 to see a guy who actually knows what he's doing miss with one.

>>956643

The Mahabharata in print is generally over 3000 pages long.

>>979125

his drawing is still really nice. he relies too much on tricks like flash tweening and is really hurts his animation. and the animation itself is just falling apart but i noticed if you pasue and fram through the drawing look cool.

>>956370

Smurfs: The Lost Village was far from being awful. It is not as good as the comics, but still miles away from their Hanna Barbera cartoon or any of the other Smurfs movies.
