Do people have a general distaste for old things?

  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    I just watched Huckleberry Hound episode 1 The Phantom Menace

    I chuckled once but otherwise yours is a hopeless quest, my friend

    I would like to think not, but it's all imaginary anyway so

    As for the first season of Huck: Charlie Shows's writing is kind of uneven, and the animation isn't as tight as it was going to get. I still like that era of the show, but later on Warner Bros. writer Warren Foster took over writing duties and the writing got a little better.

    "Huckleberry Hound Meets Wee Willie" is far from a highlight anyway

    I really hope I'm not being annoying, by the way

    I would say that you seem to have a one-track mind, but that's been the case forever.

    The track keeps changing a lot, but there never seems to be more than one (or sometimes two) tracks at a time
  • Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
    There's also the fact those cultural references just don't exist anymore. Who even knows what that particular type of hipster is, the kind who throws around "fat cat" and "daddy-o" is? 

    Or the fact that certain kinds of old humor are just...unacceptable. Remember, Mickey Mouse was basically conceived as an anthropomorphic minstrel show. Who knows what else is just horribly racist these days? Probably everything.

    i think it's still a recognizable stereotype.

    But then, that's only because of its presence in older media keeping it alive.

    Quite a few 1930s cartoon stars were either obvious blackface, blatant copies of Mickey Mouse, or (at least in Betty Boop's case) too scandalous for what was seen by the 1960s and 1970s as a kids' medium. By the time people started rediscovering this stuff in the 1990s, they typically had to rework the 1930s characters like Bosko and Foxy to keep from getting into some sort of trouble.

    I remember reading that renewed interest in classic cartoons was caused by Who Framed Roger Rabbit...

    what about Felix the Cat

    can he come back
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    DreamWorks Animation wants to bring him back as a global fashion icon

    I want to bring him back as a cool inkblot character
  • Who Framed Roger Rabbit is a good movie-film.
    Felix The Cat is one of many underrated cat characters.
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    I think Mr. Jinks is one too, but I think you knew that
  • I would put Felix, Garfield (oddly enough), Top Cat, maybe even Tom on that list

    Jinks is kind of an Appalachian stereotype. Those jokes are only funny when we make them, darnit.

    Appalachian stereotype?

    all I'm sayin' is that I do know some people who live not too far from me that say things like "meece" when they're referrin' to mice.

  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    i question the suggestion that Tom is underrated
  • I don't think anyone actually likes Tom & Jerry, y'know.

    Most people are aware it exists but I don't think many people have ever sat down and watched it watched it, as opposed to just being in the room while it was on.

    active as opposed ta passive listenin'.

    still doesn't seem like an Appalachian stereotype to me

    seems like the word-mangling that Daws Butler loved

    Jinks was his favorite character to perform, and he, like, amplified his tendencies towards mispronunciations, malapropisms, and word-type words with him

    i liked it when i was a kid.

    They did a special Tom and Jerry short for Children in Need this year.

    no cheeses for us meeces
  • THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS
    He sounds less southern West Virginia twangy and more Rust Belt/Eastern European-ish. Pittsburgh, maybe?

    Iunno I could be way off the mark. It's not like Larry the Cable Guy level of mockery but I don't really like to watch it.

    anyways accents get mixed up in this part of the country so what I consider an appalachian-sounding accent could not actually be one potentially.
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    i was completely oblivious to who made what Tom and Jerry shorts and when

    i remember i preferred the ones where the lines were less thick and where they were in a more domestic/suburban setting

    as opposed to the ones where they were in space or wherever

    not sure i'd feel the same now
  • THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS
    Well, the Appalachians cover a lot of ground, so there's bound to be some variations.

    space ones were generally Deitch. Lotsa weird sound effects and everythin had a generally eastern european look to it.

    I like the Bill Hanna-Joe Barbera ones' animation, and the Chuck Jones ones' general look
  • we're forgettin' the most important question tho.

    I think that might be the closest WB's come to getting the music right

    Most of what they've done with Tom & Jerry irks me in some way
