still largely don't, unless someone points them out or we get a lengthy shot of them without any action, because i can't focus on the backgrounds and the characters at the same time, i'd have to keep pausing stuff, and you can't pause a tv show, or couldn't back then anyway
so i would have figured backgrounds aren't so important
that said even when i was a kid i thought the live action Sabrina series was better than the cartoon; the live action show was witty, the cartoon was a bit generic
between this and 101 i guess that goes some way towards explaining why for the longest time i thought unfaithful adaptations were inherently terrible
what i noticed when i was, i guess i must have been 9 or 10 years old i think when i was watching these, was that the dogs in 101 didn't look like they did in the movie, but the people in Sabrina couldn't be expected to look like they did in the live action show so i let them off for that
(i know that Sabrina:TAS was *not*, in actual fact, an adaptation of the live action comedy and that the 1970s cartoon and the comics existed, but when i was a kid i didn't know that)
ijbm that i have no idea what 'quality' is supposed to mean anymore, all these shows look like garbage now but they must have had some redeeming qualities since i was able to enjoy them once, and this wasn't one of my favourites but it wasn't the worst
it's miles better than the 1970s Sabrina cartoon, anyway
Why, should i have mentioned it?
Well, like, garbage was probably overly-harsh but, Hercules, Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, Bonkers, Aladdin, Timon & Pumbaa, 101, Gummi Bears, Chip n' Dale, Doug, PB&J Otter, The Little Mermaid, also Tiny Toon Adventures, I Am Weasel, Tom and Jerry Kids, Scooby-Doo, Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, i watched a lot of crap when i was a kid which i assume most people would regard as garbage
idk
of the shows i mentioned Buzz was the least interesting to me since it just seemed kind of boring
I Am Weasel was downright offputting and kind of unpleasant to watch, but had a silly sense of humour that i appreciated
by comparison Sabrina was a show where nothing very exciting happened but the character designs were vaguely appealing and there was nothing really offputting about it besides a sense of 'but this isn't the real Sabrina'
well like they have these gigantic flaring nostrils and grotesque wobbling buttocks, their proportions are a mess, they're angular and unnatural looking and their faces are bizarre geometric shapes and their teeth are like piano keys
if you'd asked me for the literal definition of visually unappealing i don't think i could have come up with anything less appealing to look at than Dave Feiss' cartoons if i'd tried, short of maybe posting a picture of a botfly larva in somebody's eyeball or something like that
like i dunno, i know that sounds incredibly harsh but i thought that was the point, i thought 'horrible ugly cartoons' was the look Feiss was going for
i do actually kind of like Cow and Chicken, i just also find it kind of gross and unpleasant
that sounds like a contradiction, it's hard to explain
it's funny but it's purposefully grating
i wouldn't have said Cow and Chicken was organic because like, actual cows and chickens don't look anything like that
if it's about animation then more smooth = more organic to me, which would make Star vs the Forces of Evil organic, but i don't think that's what you mean
it's what i think of when i hear 'spontaneous' but i'm starting to think i don't actually know what words mean
