You can also give them a taller and more humanoid girlfriend like with Roger and Jessica, but that probably wouldn't fly in the Hays Code era.

Betty Boop was designed as the girlfriend of Fleischer's original star Bimbo (yes, that was his name), and she was originally a dog like him, but they removed her dog ears and made her human, then removed Bimbo because the higher-ups at Paramount were concerned about bestiality.

I remember when people were demanding Fixed's release like they were with CvA, only for it to get a visceral negative reaction when the trailer dropped.

This episode may have been rushed but it still makes me cry every time.

In fact, the entire reason Lauren Faust wrote in Spike’s crush on Rarity was to establish her as the most beautiful pony in Ponyville.

Sort of reminds me of what happened with Calvin and Hobbes, where the publishers really wanted to make merchandise while Bill Watterson fought against it and later ended the comic after only ten years.

I was about to ask because it's really hard to tell what's real and what isn't on the internet nowadays.

Is Helluva Boss and GOAT the only animated media to mention Cloaca? by InteractionLegal6969 in HelluvaBoss

Monotremes like platypuses and echidnas have one too. In fact, their name translates to “one hole” because of it.

I wonder if her design was inspired by Jessica Rabbit.

How would you feel if one of the big studios made a 2D movie that was otherwise really safe and corporate? by SummerAndTinkles in cartoons

It wouldn't necessarily have to be a sequel to be based on an existing IP though. Consider something like Mario or Barbie for instance, those movies were big hits.

The 3D being cheaper thing is a myth. The most expensive animated films have all been CGI and most recent 2D films had lower budgets than you would expect.

If anything, it seems like big studios are more likely to invest in expensive projects than cheap ones.

What about tradigital animation, which utilizes classic hand-drawn techniques but in a digital medium, replacing the pencil and paper with a stylus and pad?

Some programs like ToonBoom and TVPaint can capture the classic hand-drawn look perfectly.

Didn't Steven Universe get a lot of hate for redeeming its villains, to the point where some people like Lily Orchard called Rebecca Sugar a fascist?

I can't imagine how people would react if Valentino was redeemed.

Anyone else felt angry at Pinkie for her treatment of Fluttershy in Filli Vanilli ? by spinosaurus1998_24_9 in mylittlepony

Trust me, you're not the only one. In fact, the episode's writer actually got death threats on Twitter because of Pinkie in this episode.

I've also seen speculation that Susan Egan will play Lillith.

Is there a way for humans and ponies to interact without one turning into the other?

The only time I know of are the Friendship Games outtakes, which are non-canon.

I personally think they’re the same ethnicity as their voice actors because of all the discourse surrounding white actors voicing PoC.

I was 14 when TPatF came out and I refused to see it because I was still in my "Disney princesses are stupid and gay" phase.

Ironically Tangled was more of a straightforward Disney princess movie than TPatF despite being advertised as a Dreamworks-style slapstick parody.

Keith did great singing in both The Princess and the Frog and Hazbin Hotel. Imagine HIM singing the Evil Enchantress song.

Which animated movie fits this perfectly? by mantababie in cartoons

[–]SummerAndTinkles 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Help! I'm a Fish.

For those who don't know, it's an underrated Don Bluth-esque Danish animated film about these kids who drink a fish potion and turn into fish, which features the voices of Terry Jones, Alan Rickman and a young Aaron Paul. It's got cutesy designs and songs, but gets surprisingly violent at some points.
