Noticed an interesting CG animated flick has showed up on YouTube's movie selection, based on Chile's famous cartoon character, and dubbed in English...

Is it good, you can judge for yourself here if you like!

EDIT: ¡PLOP!

Found out one of my favorite places I never thought to buy anything from before may be finally closed for good.

Now the 80's fogeys will have their own Teen Titans Go to whine about!

This really looks like a piece of shit. I'm in such an utter rage that I guess I will ignore it and not watch it.

I kinda doubt this show will be an insert edgy Mr. Enter reference here, rather it, like TTG will probably just be as mediocre as a piece of stale wonder bread and could've easily been based around...literally any other property locked up in the WB copyright dungeon.
 
Well it looks like total shit so it's faithful to the 80's version in spirit if not in style, genre or mood.

They could have just started a new franchise and tried to run with it, all it's really going to do is piss of fans of the origional by being total shit. Then again teen titans go is Dobson tier humor so it might succeed.

Appealing only to SJWs and their fee-fees, besides not knowing how to draw / do different genres in general that aren't comedy/action/fusion of both - is exactly why anime is dominating and Western Animation is dying out so easily.

That's exactly how this feels to me and I'm not, nor ever was growing up, into something like Thundercats, just by looking at it.

Unlike me, though I didn't really care about these shows a whole lot then as now. But I do understand what you meant about why these are being made they way they are. This whole modern look just looks crappy and unappealing.

EDIT: Reminded of a few cartoonists I know who have been in the business for decades who find what they used to do best is practically becoming 'problematic' given the way things are now, and it's a shame to see it wither and die on the vine.

Like most of the cartoons of the time, it was just there to sell toys. He-Man, Strawberry Shortcake, Thundercats, My Little Pony (the original not the stuff that led to bronies), all of that shit was just to have an extended toy commercial filled in with ads for cereals made up of 90% sugar.

That was 80's TV animation in a nutshell. Nothing was really inspiring or creative about it (as long as there was commerce to be had).

Not like I want to see it come back, but it just doesn't feel the same anymore.
 
I never want to see 80's TV animation come back, save for the sense of effort that went into it (as in: differing artstyles worth a damn and smooth movement). We don't need more extended toy commercials. We just needs less stuff made by / for SJWs (as what we're seeing here feels like the worst aspects of why the 80's are so easy to bash, for example.).

At least people knew how to design then, even if dictated by committee.

True. Someone on FB already called this Tumblrcats!

It's rather odd that they'd even think to go in this direction. Nowadays, a lot of cartoons seem to go for this simpler less detailed design and very awkward humor (I seriously don't have a clue how to describe it). I think we can partially blame cartoon like Adventure Time and Regular Show for that, seeing how they had relatively simple designs and relied heavily on random-humor. Plus, as those cartoons evolved, they just got more and more mushy and they start to take themselves too seriously. I think that aspect lead to cartoons like Steven Universe, and the more humorous side of these cartoons lead to cartoons like TTG and this.

Speaking of, I really look forward to the salt this is going to create. Although, I feel as though people should have saw this coming, seeing how these two cartoons were viewed as revolutionary when the first aired in a time where CN aired nothing but live-action, so it was nice that everyone got a fresh dose of cartoons for once. It doesn't help the scenario anymore when you consider how much these channels are profiting off of pure nostalgia, especially today.

You know what makes it better? The people behind the show already reacted to the backlash which is hysterical.

And in doing so some people revealed themselves to work on it.
Including a guy who is named Nico Colaleo.
Who is that? Essentially a nobody known for two things:
a) he created TOO LOUD a cartoon series about two big headed siblings that came outlast year and barely registered with anyone

b) he was actually a friend of John Krifalusci and most likely knew he molested teenagers

The start of of this very decade with Regular Show and Adventure Time definitely kicked off what we see now. It's pretty telling how much has changed from the start of the century to now.

There will be.

It's a shame. A friend of mine moaned over all the original ideas that are being swept under the rug these days in favor of this rebooting mess. Trying to be original or have someone that's actually challenge gets sidelined or compromised anyway possible.

Well we'll see if any of these guys get any work after this.
