Photorealism ruined fun sequences like “Can’t Wait to Be King,” and I imagine it will do the same for “Under the Sea.”

Thanks for the input.

It was a prequel set a few years before the first movie would have, so they couldn’t get the same people really.

The most recent was a couple of years ago: Yabba-Dabba Dinosaurs, made for the Boomerang streaming app/site. I didn’t really see any of it, but it was Pebbles and Bam-Bam focused I think (as slightly older kids) and was a lot more “internet humor.”

H-B in the 1960s: What if all our characters sounded like celebrities?

K, so in the article you admit it’s just a throwaway gag. Why write all this about it?

Where the Muppets at?

I just got back from seeing the re-release of Everything Everywhere at one of my local theaters. I paid...$7 and could sit anywhere I wanted. I probably won’t go to an AMC any time soon, especially with this scheme going on.

Oh hey, Andrea Burns! She’s really good!

That magic duel between Merlin and Mim would look so bad translated to realistic CGI.

The stuff with Hook, Smee, and the crocodile in the OG cartoon was funny cartoon stuff.

Considering there’s like 10x as much TV as there was back then, I’d wager if writers strike, things could be much worse.

Yeah, pretty much. Not even sure what Barry is working towards even. And poor Erica. They dropped her music thing despite being really good at it, then tried to make her a lawyer, then just said “Fuck it, she’s a wife/mom now.”

I mean, this was pretty consistent work over nearly a decade vs. doing like what, 10 episodes, every three years?

I’m fine with this. I really haven’t dug the last few seasons much and really only stuck with it because A. it was something to do each Wednesday, and B. and an “in for a penny, in for a pound” mentality.

Hey now, Ant-Man is still alive.

I mean, it also didn’t look or feel like a movie Andy would have seen in 1995.

Wow, two articles about the same mediocre sitcom in one week?

The one of the big problems with this series, I think, is that the problems snowball in what should be a funny way, but they never reach a satisfying conclusion; it’s like the giant snowball crumbles apart once it gets downhill instead of destroying the ski lodge.

Animation for adults is good when applied correctly. Compare something like Who Framed Roger Rabbit to Cool World - very similar premise, both made for a decidedly not kid audience, but Cool World fails because it mistakes being edgy as being adult.
