  • I'm working a short animation called "Kala goes Ape S***" featuring Kala from Tarzan. Normally a gentle and loving being, she'll have an extremely OOC moment, when she pretty much unleashes her inner King Kong on a poor soul (you see who it is).
    What was going on with the Dreamworks TV shows' distribution back in the early 2010s? We had KFP, POM, and Monsters vs Aliens the series on Nick while CN had one or two HTTYD series.

    I'd assume it's because of the creators of the How To Train Your Dragon show wanting something tonally similar to the movie with a PG rating. If you notice, the HTTYD show is the only one to be rated PG, and Cartoon Network is the only one of the main three networks to make PG shows.

    @ That makes sense. However, I'd argue that Disney Channel is somewhat more mature than Nick. Like, I can't see Gravity Falls being anything below PG.
    I am incapable of binge watching. I won't do it. Unfortunately, many shows on streaming are made to be binged.

    "Binging" is an inherently unhealthy concept when applied to food and drink, I can't say I've never indulged but it's a bit off that we've so normalised/embraced the concept for the world of entertainment.

    @Pooky Exactly! It's also partly the reason why streaming originals don't last more than two seasons and one season is comprised of like 9 episodes max. It's ridiculous.

    I'm better at watching something at a set time on a channel versus having to go out of my way to watch it, I have found.
    Ok, is it just my ignorance or do CEOs not seem as "business-savvy" as we think they are? Because they'll make decisions that are questionable at best and outright detrimental to the company at worst. (Yes, I'm talking about you, Zaslav)

    I mean, it has been industry wide problem dealing with brainless and money-hungry executives, not just Zaslav. It has already happing with the music industry, the fast food industry, the retail industry, etc.

    YouTube might actually end up screwing themselves over by trying to force ads on users. Too many ads could potentially harm engagement and watch time, which YT has made clear they prioritize. This war on AdBlockers may come back to bite them.
    So, lemme get this straight. VA's have gone on strike protesting AI replicating their voices, and SAG-AFTRA signs a partnership deal with Narrativ? Apparently this is the second time SAG-AFTRA has done something like this.
    To this very day, I still can't fathom how Nick expected cartoons that they hardly advertised to get Spongebob-like ratings.

    Well, what do you expect? It's Nickelodeon. :/

    Avatar The Last Airbendar was According to them "a soft hit, not really huge"... The biggest episode aired 3 million. UNTHINKABLE for anyone else. And Korra did 4 million and got booted off the channel... but I think it was the dark themes and violence that made them do so.
    This might be ignorant of me because I don't know business, but if CEO is costing a company $$$, wouldn't he also be costing the shareholders $$$, prompting them to give him the boot? If so, how has Zaslav lasted so long?

    Personally, I have no clue. It's a complete mystery to me.
    Trying to get back into writing my animated pilot after realizing it was garbage and needing to start from scratch. Kinda gave up on it for a while. The despair of how networks and streaming services alike are treating animation didn't help, either.

I might plan making my Carrd.
I need your help guys. I need to remember all the new series coming to CN this 2025 along with the current series that will end that year.
Sorry for inactivity (that led delay of long awaited revamp of my ToonZone profile until now) so... Here it is!

Happy belated 30 years to Sony’s iconic PlayStation brand

It's so sad that Madoka and Homura will not be the cinema stars this December.
