Almost sad to see this decade go, but it should give us hope for the future of animation.

They were too low to be his stomach
True, it even uses stop-motion & CGI for some characters. Gumball has it’s clever moments too.
@northern haste
That’s… actually kinda funny. Though, that might’ve been meant to be his stomach given his design, but given the show it was probably an international “getting crap past the radar” moment.
In fact, in the original 1960s series, they got away with the Moon Men’s book shelf having a book titled “Sex on Planet X.”
This is the ’60s mind you!
Also, that’s kinda bitchy. That’s just a sketch of characters making the same face. They just happen to share crainial structure.
In gumball’s defence that show does use multiple art styles and animation methods
Yeah, well, most serious action hero tropes or whatever have allready been done to death. Just check out the “secret teen superhero genre”. Not that it’s bad, but I understand why one wouldn’t have the motivation to make it serious.
I just took a quick look at a clip and it’s a scene where they go through an x-ray and what he has two acorns right where his nuts should be
Really? Wonder if it’s any good, The original show had alot of subtle dry humor, and self-awareness satire which made it one of the first TV cartoons to be popular with kids & college aged adults.
The reboot is already out
I suppose I can kinda see that, but the “thick-outline, round bean head, moon mouth” style has actually been around forever.
Arguably, if stuff like “Rocky & Bullwinkle” was around today, it’d be called “CalArts” too. (I hear they’re rebooting it.)
The claim that too many modern cartoons look the same (supposedly because people attend the California Institute of the Arts and are taught to draw the same way).
I understand, I’m fine with comedy, but not everything has to be a comedy.
Comedy can have quality too.
They used to, as those were popular in the ’90s & 2000s, but times are different now. Everything has to be funny, or self-aware nowadays. Even serious anime is now more popular with older teens then kids.
Edited
I used to think that people want dark superhero cartoons for kids instead of lighthearted ones.
People who don’t like that art style
Yeah, alot of people weren’t happy about that, not just the goofier/typical art style, but also because it seems impossible to make any new more serious superhero cartoons for kids anymore. Some blame “Teen Titans Go!” for that, but there are other factors too.
“Rise of the TMNT” is also quite similar, so it’s almost like every new show has to be humorous or a meta satire of itself nowadays.
“Justice League Action” wasn’t bad though, and actually balanced the humor and action a bit better, it was kinda similar to “Batman Brave & the Bold.”
The drama that happened since ThunderCats Roar was revealed.
What “CalArts controversy?”
It would be hard for everyone considering the CalArts controversy and the importance of artstyle/character design (which I don’t like it but people don’t let me dislike it over people not giving anything a chance, like the Sonic movie or DmC, or EqG.)
