sadly millennials are repeating the sins of past generations whining about what the kids today like

i remember how annoying it was to have a older generation mock the popular stuff of our generation for surface level reasons

modern cartoons are far better animated than crap from the 80s and even the 90s

oh and unlike the stuff we grew up with they are not riddled with animation errors

and again i agree thunder cats roar was crap but its not because of teh art style its because of the writing and poor comedy
Its inevitable for many of us but man, is it weird to see it happen. Like I always assumed it would start in our 40s at least.

It's pretty sad that shows like Adventure Time, Regular Show, Steven Universe and Gravity Falls are getting thrown under the bus here. :( These are genuinely good shows. The only truly bad CalArts-style show here is Thudercats Roar. I don't know why it gets to decide every show with the style is now shit.

And @AceMos is right. If this style didn't even originate at CalArts then maybe we should give it a different name!

If you are going to use generational insults, at least know which gen you're insulting. Boomers are people who were born in the 40s/50s and came of age in the 60s. They're basically your great grandparents. We're Gen X.

I never liked any of those shows, not just for their art style, but their humor.

I tried giving the show a try, but it was pretty bad. Some jokes worked, but for the most part I got more annoyed watching it than laughing. TTG is another example of being too overly silly and dumb (almost all the characters behave the same for some reason), but also has some decent laughs from its "meta" jokes.

With that said, I don't necessarily dislike the art style. Adventure Time was game changing for its animation style, because before then everyone was using the thick line style that you saw in nickolodean and cartoon network shows. Adventure Time's art style gave a lot more freedom in what they can do with the art style that some jokes worked because of its flexibility (figuratively and literally). It's just kind of unfortunate a lot of low budgeted shows are copying the style because it's much easier and cheaper to animate.

Some may disagree, but I do say this about the practicality of it. Some people envision their stories being told in a medium but the budget might be high. If CalArts allows people to tell their stories the way they envision (through animation), then I think that is an overall good.

So you think everyone who thinks a specific way about animations should be labeled a bigot based solely on the idea that some bigots insult the CalArts style?

And that's basically why The Flintstones/Hanna Barbera was so revolutionary. Repeating backgrounds and neck ties basically saved cartoon budgets which just weren't economical for TV at the time.
You could basically make a line from Disney shorts to current animation and it'd pass through all these points. The Flintstones was definitely a step up from older styles, noodle arms are a change in style from previous techniques, and so on...

Hot take: Thunder Cats was always a pretty lame IP. I basically only watched it because nothing else was on. >_>

Some toy exec came back from a Broadway production of "Cats: The Musical" and tried to figure out how they can make them into action figures. No one has verified this, but we know it's true.

Like I get WHY they did this (because the criticism of Teen Titans Go is similar to the blowback Thundercats Roar got) but this doesn't make the pill easier to swallow but rather makes TTG look worse by association.
