As someone who pushes hard for scientific literacy, that's super disappointing. Since the tweet was removed, here's an image:

I hope the tweet being removed means they actually reconsidered their stances to one that protects children from horrible diseases, but probably not.

Still, here's hopening

Disney Orders 'Star Wars Resistance' Anime-Inspired Series Featuring Oscar Isaac, Gwendoline Christie

If you're wondering what happens before the events of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Disney will hopefully answer your questions with the anime-inspired series Star Wars Resistance. The Mouse House has ordered the animated adventure series which will chronicle the events prior to Episode VII.

Production has already begun for Star Wars Resistance which will follow Kazuda Xiono, a young pilot recruited by the Resistance and tasked with a top-secret mission to spy on the growing threat of the First Order. The animated series will feature new characters as well as everyone's favorite rolling droid BB-8. There will also be some familiar voices in the cast including Oscar Isaac as Poe Dameron and Gwendoline Christie as Captain Phasma, who have both appeared in the recent Star Wars pics.

Star Wars Resistance is set to premiere this fall on Disney Channel stateside and then Disney XD and around the world shortly after.

The series includes many from the team that worked on the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels. Star Wars Resistance was created by Lucasfilm Animation veteran Dave Filoni, executive-produced by Athena Portillo, Justin Ridge and Brandon Auman (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles); and art-directed by Amy Beth Christenson.

'Chicken Run' Sequel in Works at Aardman

Almost 20 years after Chicken Run became the most successful stop-motion animated film of all time (a record it still holds to this day), The Hollywood Reporter has learned that Aardman Animations is officially working on a sequel.

Details of the film are scarce at the moment, with the project not yet ready to hit markets. But THR understands that the U.K. animation powerhouse is developing the film alongside StudioCanal, with which it has partnered on its most recent titles, and Pathe, which co-financed the original with DreamWorks Animation and distributed it in Europe.

If one wants to get into or watch Adventure Time, are there any episodes one could skip and just watch the major story parts of the show? I generally avoid doing such a thing buuuut I tried getting into Adventure Time once but its aesthetic and randomness just didn't grab my interest.

There's this. Though the brief episode descriptions start to get more spoiler-ry as you go along.

So I've been marathoning Adventure Time and Season 3 "Dad's Dungeon" scene with the apple is...really messed up.

This series is so weird.

EDIT: Season 4's Web Weirdos is one of those 'how did this get OK-ed?' kind of stuff that I often ask myself when watching these cartoons...

I'm putting on The Adventures of Prince Achmed right now, for curiosity's sake. The oldest surviving feature-length animated film, and possibly the only surviving animated feature of the silent era.

So I'm almost done watching the main episodes of Season 4 of Adventure Time and they mention the Cosmic Owl.
Concerned I looked up the wiki and the character gets more fleshed out in the NEXT Season. Made me feel like I had skipped some episodes or something @_@

EDIT: Five More Short Graybles was the most genius bait and switch ever. I'm surprised that 3rd part even got ok-ed...

Yeah, she said as much in a later tweet. We've already seen the look they're going for, imitating the old style. Also she's a director, not a character designer or storyboarder so I don't think her artistic style would influence the show much.

Animaniacs wasn't my favourite cartoon to watch as a kid, but more the power to the team that's working on it to make it into a fun show.

I just caught up on 7/8 OK KO episodes from Season 2, & I just gotta day, that show deserves more love. They've had some very interesting concepts for stories this season so far, & are building to some interesting arcs.

Same for Ballmastrz 9009, but I haven't seen the last 2 episodes yet. I should rectify that.

I've never heard of this; was it any good?

IIRC the Cosmic Owl is mentioned/seen a couple of times early on, but that was when stuff was thrown out for wackiness sake & the only person on the team pushing for any lore in the show (And one of the few in Western Animation period) was Rebecca Sugar. So, unfortunately, it was downplayed until they needed to find a way to retroactively make the Cosmic Owl fit the story.

That was one of my largest gripes with Adventure Time. Before I realized none of these mentions of The Mushroom War or the Cosmos were supposed to be leading to something, I felt the show was stretching out the gaps between info drops for too long. Then I realized these waits were because they were winging it, & it did not feel cohesive. I don't know where certain events took place season-wise & don't want to risk spoiling for you, but there's an egregious example I'm sitting on here.

I see, though I feel like the major events just don't come off very impactful to the characters, since after everything is resolved it just goes back to being laidback and casual.

I watched the Season 7 episode, Crossover, and...I don't like it every much; it is a fun episode but its major plot points just fill me with tranquil fury.

Despite that however, Season 7 is currently my fav. season and the one that actually made me like the show a lot more than previous seasons.

Harvey Birdman, Attorney General, will return to Adult Swim with a half-hour special.

harveybirdman_ag.webp


Long-running Adult Swim character Harvey Birdman will return to the channel this fall in a half-hour special.

In the special, Harvey Birdman, Attorney General, Birdman is named attorney general by very fictional President Phil Ken Sebben, described as a megalomaniac billionaire.

"In his new role, it's up to Harvey Birdman to find a way to remove president Phil Ken Sebben from office before everyone starts to worry it's more than the ridiculous plot to an animated show," the network said.

Gary Cole returns to provide the voice for the winged Birdman, while President Sebben is again played by Stephen Colbert. Other returning cast members include John Michael Higgins, Paget Brewster, Chris Edgerly, Peter MacNicol and Phil LaMarr.

Awesome new Fantasia-inspired music only Mickey Mouse short.


Yeah yeah I know i know I still want to make a proper OT with all the shorts indexed in an OP for easy viewing, I've just been so busy lately. I've got a bunch of thumbnails ready to go, just need to make some fancy graphics and actually compose the OT.

Got recommended an OK KO clip that had some pretty great animation. Almost pulled me into the show... and then the character designs pushed me back out. Can't get past them for some reason. Feh.

Should probably spend that time catching up on Gumball, anyway.

Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Complete Series blu ray is on sale for $30 at best buy (save $1 if you opt for in store pick up)

Since this was a best buy exclusive for a month, this will ship/be available right away as compared to the target preorder from a few weeks back which still won't release for a few more weeks.

DCSHG-First-Look-Group-Art.jpg


Warner Bros. Animation and DC Entertainment today revealed the first look at Lauren Faust's redesigned art for the upcoming DC Super Hero Girls television series. The Cartoon Network reboot series was originally revealed back in May of last year, when it was announced the series would jump from direct-to-video movies and webisodes to a full-blown series order.

Faust is best known for her work in reviving the My Little Pony property with the massively popular television series My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. The series will be executive produced by Warner Bros. Animation chief Sam Register, who is currently in charge of running Cartoon Network series Teen Titans GO! and Justice League Action. A Teen Titans GO! movie, Teen Titans GO! to the Movies, is slated to hit theaters on July 27.

That's a shame, it's the best show on CN right now to me alongside Gumball but with season 2 of KO it might have surpassed it a bit
