Me I'm fine with both. But some bigwigs running some of these major studios don't seem to want to understand. Invincible, Arcane, Castlevania, Hit Monkey(Witch is from Disney of all places), and the two 80s and '90s Heavy Metal films were all created as adult animated shows or films. And then there's Universal Studios taking a show like Exosquad with a way to mature like stories, but still being labeled as a kid's show??? And not forgetting the large amount of deaths in that show. Exosquad is a great show with season two being in the most tear-jerking and heartbreaking moments in so-called kids animation.
Even Disney is getting the memo. But Universal Studios is busy trying to set the memo on fire and pretend it doesn't exist. Dreamworks makes an adult animated TV miniseries called "Invasion America" and when Dreamworks and Universal Studios get full rights to the miniseries and sit there and pretend that it never happened. Even when a man was ripped in half and the miniseries wasn't that, it at least deserves a DVD release. They won't even release a Blu-Ray of Exosquad or a DVD release of season two.
Then you get Jonny Quest going from a 70's prime-time adult animated show to a kids-only animated show. The only good thing we got was Violet and awesome was Batman VS TMNT. At least Japan understands with Anime. Make some for Kids and make some for adults. Japanese anime at least understands this unlike Universal and a few others here in the US. But what do you think?
I remember this show on CBBC.
(not sure if I put the right flair btw)
After Warner Bros. Feature Animation closed its doors in 2004 after the failure of "Looney Tunes: Back in Action", Warner Bros. Pictures continued to release feature animated films, though with all their animation work outsourced to other companies. Warner Animation Group was founded in 2013 to help the studio try to compete with the likes of Disney, SPA, DreamWorks, Illumination, and Blue Sky, but their process (producing the films and outsourcing the animation) is the same as these five films. The Lego Movie, the first release under WAG, had been in production for two years prior to the launch of WAG, and was just going to be among these. It's nice that all major Hollywood studios have their own feature animation divisions now, but it really makes it tough to document these. But I have a feeling that if WAG had existed back when these films came out, all or most of them would've been under WAG. What do you guys think?
This btw does not include WB theatrical animated features from that time period that were from other WB labels like Castle Rock (i.e. Polar Express), were co-productions with other major or mini-major studios (i.e. TMNT, with The Weinstein Company), or ones where they only distributed (i.e. Clone Wars).
This is the fanart 1 I made of HIM from PPG for this spooky month, hope you like it 😁😁😁.
Hello r/cartoons community. Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Hope you guys are good. I haven't been on here in ages, but I figured It wouldn't hurt to reach out to see if I could get some guidance on something.
My name is Joel. I'm a graphic designer/part time doodler born and raised in San Antonio Texas. I've been drawing little comics for most of my childhood in notebooks, and we've recently had a daughter of our own. Upon her arrival, I've had to do a lot of reflecting about what I intend to leave behind if ever I'm gone. Which brought me back to an old passion project from a while back. I picked up the old doodles where I left off back in 2015/16, and finished up this story to a point that I felt comfortable with.
I come to you today as an underground independent creator/writer/illustrator with a story I've been trying to tell for a while now. I finally finished up a 40pg first issue of a series I call "The End is Nigh." I started drawing doodles of Nigh a long time ago on pages of work notes and loose sheets of paper when I could. I started putting together this little world where he existed piece by piece, through single panel comics age sheets in sketchbooks. I think in a way, it's a subconscious method of trying to process the trauma of losing my pops when I was younger. Death is such a hard subject for all of us to process, especially when it's someone close to you. This series is a way to explore the realm of death, and realize it's not something to fear, but rather something that should be acknowledged and embraced.
I've got an uploaded copy of the master issue on Google drive, and also sent over to a comic book connection of mine at Antarctic Press. I'm currently doing research on effective crowd sourcing campaigns and self-publishing, but is there anything else I should be aware of or keep in mind moving forward? I really just want to get this in physical form and maybe distribute it myself if AP can't help.
I've always had a love for cartoons and comic books, especially classic Nick and Cartoon Network, early Jhonen Vasquez, as well as Ralph Bakshi and R Crumb. They've been an undying well of inspiration to me for as long as I can remember. I have an itch deep down in my soul that needs to create, but I often feel that I don't have the community to push myself to actually put it out there. I think my super duper deep down ultimate goal is to get this out there in a physical form, to generate some kind of interest in the project, and potentially get an animation deal I guess. I understand how insane that sounds, but you've gotta shoot the moon and land amongst the stars, right?
Thanks so much for taking a second to peep this thing. I appreciate any kind words of encouragement or any kind of guidance you could provide. You can find the first issue of The End is Nigh below.
To keep the story short and sweet:
The story is focused around a little fellow named Nigh, who also happens to be a contracted killer for death. Death’s right hand is tasked with collecting souls on his behalf. Nigh's missions will send him to lengths completely unknown, and will require him to make some unlikely friends to get to where he needs to go. Through his journeys and interactions with others, he discovers that he’s not just a soul-less servant, but an incredibly complex creature with sophisticated emotions. Through his travels, He’ll find that not everyone is privy to death or his minions. In addition to traveling to the human world, Nigh will find himself traveling to heaven and hell to meet demons and angels. And also to outside the universe where he meets the stars and the planets, as well as meeting the instances of mythical characters and gods. Nigh will Even meet some personified concepts of human perception on planes beyond mortal existence.
Nigh will have to look everywhere, and talk to everyone to get the whole story of his past. A story which doesn’t paint death in a very good light, and By the end of which, he’ll be tasked to ultimately rise up and become the new death, but it won’t be easy!

EDIT: If you downloaded a copy, feel free to leave a comment with what you think!
Pretty sure Lunella is the only one that could be consider panic attack.
Lemme know what you guys think. Because I couldn't find a decent review of the series.
I remember that someone use firework in the night and the night turns to day for few seconds, I think a bird is shown singing like “morning”. I know that it is not the Simpson and , I know that Malcom has a similar scene but I remember a cartoon.
