Learning that the Iditerod is not as much a household name as I thought, so figured I'd poll a larger audience
After DuckTales 2017, Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers 2022, Darkwing Duck and TaleSpin reboots on the works at Point Grey Pictures, which Disney Afternoon show do you think will be the next in getting rebooted?
Either Goof Troop or Adventures of The Gummi Bears, The Goof Troop-verse has been very popular with A Goofy Movie and An Extremely Goofy Movie specially with Disney milking A Goofy Movie non-stop since its cult status.
I think a reboot where elements with A Goofy Movie and Goof Troop mixed on the 2020s with the kid characters as teenagers/early adults could work.
Adventures of The Gummi Bears reboot could fit as Disney's awnser to The Dragon Prince or Avatar Studios with it's focus on serialized storytelling with the og show's fantasy world. specially if they hire Patrick McHale or Dragon Prince/Adventure Time/Avatar Studios alumnis to showrun the series.
So how do I even get a start where I am? I can’t travel to another country and I don’t have a college degree specific enough.
You don't need a college degree to get on the industry, just good art and a portafolio with your best samples of art or writting, or directing, it can be online or personal (this one has became so rare specially with the pandemic).
Right now thanks to the pandemic many studios are allowing remote work at home from other countries, DTVA had a Internship on Development Department for people from other countries.
But i recommend to work on smaller bunisses of your neighboorhood if you are a artist, you already have some recomendations from someone.
If you are a writter or director, post your samples of writting, it can be your personal novel or other work (no fanfics)
if you did some live action shorts just for fun, post them in the online portafolio, or if you did edition like AMVs post your best examples to showcase how you do it with edition.
Also i recommend going to animation festivals of your town or country and right now with the pandemic, just buy the online ticket to a animation festival (Lightbox,CTN,Sigraph etc..) and go to the development panels of all the studios they give you great tips.
Why is 1920s and 1940s fashion so similar at least for men, like nothing changed in 20 years
Clothing didn't disintegrate nearly as quickly as today, so you could just wear whatever suit you got when you were a kid. And pass that on to your kid.
Thrift shopping for grandpa clothes is legit. You can find a lot of good pieces of clothing some 60 year old guy decided to pawn off, and it still looks great.
Things definitely did change. It’s perhaps not as noticeable as in women’s fashion, but you can often tell the decade a suit came from just by the silhouette it creates. Here are some examples from the (early) 1920s, the 1930s, and the 1940s that emphasize some pretty distinct ideas of what a suit looked like. (And, of course, that doesn’t even take into consideration other types of clothes, like the evaporation of knickers/knee pants to the emergence of jeans as casual wear, and such.)
So if you had to pick a Disney TVA series that isn't a preschool show to either reboot or revive that was successful in some form, which one would it be and why?
I want to make a Oliver And Company TV Series with a artstyle like Rise Of TMNT with animation by Flying Bark Productions and Studio La Cachette that takes place after the film but set on the 90s, think like Rise Of TMNT meets 101 Dalmatian Street and in storytelling doing justice to this film like Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure did with Tangled.
Other thing in early thoughts is something like Jellystone! but with ALL Disney Afternoon characters (Except Gargoyles since i think the tone of that show don't fit my humor and storytelling) but in this one we go beyond and add obscure characters from Disney Comics (Italian,French, UK etc...)
Also i want to give interactions with HDL, April May And June, Mortie & Ferdie, Gosalyn, Kit, Molly and the other kid characters to interact.
Make Morgana and Magica roomates, Max and PJ being teenagers and dealing with teenager stuff like their gfs, Roxanne and The Beret Lady and Oswald The Lucky Rabbit with Fanny, Ortensia & Bunny Children being the main characters as part of the fish out of water for them and being neighboors with The Mighty Ducks
Think like The Looney Tunes Show Meets Jellystone!
The artstyle i plan to be classic Disney Afternoon style and the animation like Primal-tier level by Studio La Cachette

Disney is an awesome thing with so many Disney movies, but will there be an Aristocats TV show? it would be nice if there was one featuring the adorable little kittens going on brand new adventures in Paris.
Sadly no but Disney tried to do one in the early 2000′s to debut on 2002, the desings where done by Glen Hanson, the creator of Monster High. The show was created to reinvent the characters Marie, Toulouse, and Berlioz, and turn them into teenagers instead of them staying their little kitten selves from the movie. Other characters created to expand the cast were Delancey, who would have been a main character as well, and "The Street Cats." The show was cancelled. It was originally supposed to have a release in 2002 but was soon rescheduled to have a late 2006 or 2007 release and was supposed to be rated TV-Y.
Gotham Underground #2 - “Gangs of Gotham” (2008)

The Simpsons is so disliked/hated now. Is because no cartoon has ever been around for so long. Its country it came out in 1989, and in other countries the early 90s. (Not including the sorts they went) Look what year and decade it is now.
I’ve often grappled with this question, going from “I hate everything post-season 7″ to “It’s understandable that things change”, and everything in between.
Now, while I will reaffirm that the show definitely lost most of what used to make it so unique, particularly when it comes to outlandish plot lines and self-serving celebrity cameos, I also have to admit that the “classic” Simpsons was a product of a different time, a different society, and made to tackle different problems. It is unreasonable to expect a show to be on the air for 30 years with no change whatsoever, because society changes, and those changes bring new issues to address.
The bottom line is, some of us, perhaps the majority of us, will always prefer the first 10 seasons over what came after.
How many episodes are left for the show? Would you be interested in making a comic adaption of all the adventures the team had but weren't animated? How was Sashi first developed? Why does she always dress like she's a sentai senshi fighter?
I would love to supervise a PZ comic, showing more adventures & stories. ask Disney online if you want to see it happen and it might. Ask Disney at comicon too! Basically ask Disney and I’ll do it.
For Sashi’s costume/ look- we were inspired by some avant guard Tokyo fashion and Tokyo kids style and a little punk and a little project runway :D and just followed our gut. Joe Moshier did the final drawing - and Ben plouffe did the color -I will post development drawings someday soon…
What are your top 3 favorite Ed Friendship moments and why?
Boys Will Be Ed: The Ed gang forming a little band and serenading who they thought was Nazz but turns out to be Jimmy. It was pretty adorable how they improvising the beats.
Take this Ed and shove it: The whole Kid’s Show host bit with Eddy dressed up as a Panda, Edd dressed up as a Calculator and Ed dressed up as a train conductor and acting like a train. The scheme may have failed the Eds but it was cute nonetheless.
The Big Picture show: Basically the Ed, Edd N Eddy being a team, friends and surrogate family. Finally getting their happily ever afters. After all the suffering they have gone through they finally get acceptance, renewed sense of self worth and all the jawbreakers they can stomach.
Do you think the surviving planet will be a sort of alternative earth? A planet that contains all the cultures of galaxy in one place?
You would have really dug season 3.
If that was the mole king's daughter then who was the princess in Lord Hater's plan? She looked completely different from what we saw on The Plan. Does he have 2 daughters or was one of them a niece?
Technically, we’ve never actually seen Flendar before, as it was only ever described during Hater and Peepers’ hypothetical plans during The Brainstorm. And yes, it could have also been that princesses’ sister. Also, didn’t that princess turn out to be Wander in disguise?
Anyway, the practical narrative reason the princess design was changed was to adhere to Brad’s ridiculously shallow fantasy, which was necessary for his motivations in that ep.
Trust me, a show this good looking is reeeeeally hard to pull off from a design standpoint, so we’d actually rather have reused the old princess (we tried to reuse as much as possible season 2 while still making it feel fresh and also to help flesh out the galaxy a bit). But for that story purpose and budget/design concerns, it made more sense for us to come up with a new princess than a whole new species design.
Do you dislike how much the Cartoon Network network is messing with the Powerpuff girls legacy?
It’s a problem unique to animation that drives me insane. Studios think the characters are the star, but it’s really the people who made the characters. It’s their sense of humor, their timing their artistic sense that people fall in love with.
No one would ever dream of forming a band and calling it “the Beatles.” You might own the name, you can put them in mop top wigs, but without the original people everyone knows it just won’t be the same.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
I understand yet at the same time I don’t fully agree.
If you could get people people who grew up with PPG and understood them well enough you could theoretically get somebody who could make something close to the original in terms of quality.
I mean it’s not like Walt Disney’s around to do those new Mickey Mouse shorts these days.
The problem here is that the people in charge of NuPPG really don’t seem to give a shit about quality.
I like to think of Thundercats (2011) as a sort of Anthesis to PPG (2016).
They’re both well-loved by a lot of people and the originals still have followings to this day and I don’t doubt both remakes have (or had in the case of TC) fans of the original series working on it.
On the one hand though, you have the TC team that took the franchise they loved and put more focus on the characters and story, arguably making it even more engaging than the original, and on the other, you have the PPG team, who only seems to give a shit about using the characters as mouthpieces for whatever hot-button issue there was at the time of brainstorming, and not the source material beyond the character designs.
Or alternatively, you can use the 2002 He-Man reboot as said antithesis since both it and 2011′s Thundercats were given similar treatment
Reblogging again because I realized something:
Stan Lee is the only guy I know for certain who was involved with the creation of the well known comic superheroes of DC or Marvel who’s still goddamn ALIVE and people have made plenty of good stories featuring Batman, Superman, Spider-man etc over the years (Geoff Johns, Grant Morrison, the Timm-Dini duo being standout examples as well as Alan Moore and Frank Miller before they both went off the deep end.)
Hell, a lot of the characterizations have IMPROVED since then.
Superman was kind of an asshole who’d do stuff like grab a guy’s gun, shoot him and then catch the bullet at the last second just to scare the crap out of him instead of being the embodiment of “Truth Justice and the American way” who’d offer a kind hug and reassuring words to that one kid who was just about to throw herself off the roof.
You know how Batman has that big thing about “I don’t kill people” and “I don’t use guns?” Yeah, he didn’t have any of that back in the Golden age. He’d shoot people left and right and he had a tendency to snap peoples’ necks. Remember THAT next time you rewatch Justice League unlimited where he held Ace’s hand to make sure she wasn’t alone as she was literally seconds away from dying.
I mean fuck even the JOKER use to be a humorless chump who’s only outstanding feature amongst the other criminals was that he dressed like a clown out of the irony that he actually wasn’t that funny and he was originally supposed to never show up again after his first appearance. He went the other way in the silver age where he was goofy but not super terrifying until somewhere in the bronze age where he beat Jason Todd to death and became the monster clown we all know and love.
Quicksilver and Scarlet witch being Magneto’s kids was in fact a retcon that erased their original origin where their dad was a more obscure WWII-era Marvel hero known as the Whizzer.
Cable used to be the embodiment of everything wrong with the Dark age until later writers mellowed him out.
Deadpool was at first a rip-off of DC’s Deathstroke aka Slade from Teen Titans until someone other than Rob Liefeld turned him into everyone’s favorite Merc with a mouth.
And that’s not even getting into the movies, the cartoons and other adaptations that changed things around or simplified things and thus made them just as enjoyable, if not moreso than their original incarnations.
An example being that The Vision’s original Origin story was a gigantic clusterfuck involving the WWII-era hero android Human Torch (who was NOT Johnny Storm from the Fantastic Four) and the brainwaves of another superhero named Wonder man and was eventually turned into a huge plot to make his wife Scarlet Witch go nuts and make her powers go out of control.
Similarly, I highly recommend you all find a way to watch Iron Man: Armored Adventures because they do some wildly different stuff with Tony’s mythos that’s pretty interesting, but among other things it’s probably the best interpretation/characterization The Mandarin has ever had and it makes him both a likable villain and one who’s decidedly NOT a horribly racist Chinese stereotype.
And it’s been that way for other stuff too. I don’t think many of the staff of the original Transformers series were too involved in any of the modern shows. Bonnie Zacherle had nothing to do with MLP:FiM beyond inspiring Lauren Faust. And I’m sure plenty of people have taken advantage of H.P. Lovecraft’s work being public domain to make good use of his mythos.
Like I said, you don’t necessarily be the original creator of a franchise to be able to make a good story out of it. You just have to be someone who either knows the characters and setting well enough to make it work or be a good enough writer in general who’s done the research and can decide what works and what doesn’t.
The problem here is that whoever’s running NuPPG has proven over and over again they don’t have those qualifications.
I really like your story so far. Have you considered making it a graphic novel. I could see this turning into a movie,tv series or mini series or all of the above. All animated but of course that's my opinion. Any plans for merchandise? Is there only fictional racism or actual racism or both in the books?
AHHHHHHHH!!!!! I’m so glad that you like it! I would love for it to be a comic but yah know one step at a time lol! I would love for a major network to pick it up and make it into a movie or a tv series. I’m looking into offering merchandise. Thats one of my 2017 goals for my project. Right now I’m leaning towards using fiction racisim with the martians. I really want kids to be able to read my stories and understand situations dealing with racism.
If the book becomes successful will you create a tv series or movie based on it?
Chris and I would LOVE to develop a “Rescue Sirens” series! We have so many ideas already in mind for our girls and the adventures they could go on – some of those ideas will become novels, like “Rescue Sirens: The Search for the Atavist,” while others, shorter in length, would be perfectly suited as TV episodes. The really fun and exciting thing about “Rescue Sirens” is how the world we’ve created keeps expanding the more we return to it, so we hope that we’ll have an opportunity to share all of the stories we’re imagining with a larger audience.
Ok, here is another question. Are these shorts pilots? Do you ever think about making one a show?
The shorts are not meant to be pilots. They let us take creative risks we cannot normally make, but we definitely put shorts we think have potential into series development. Loud House was a short created by Chris Savino in the 2013 program, and is now a series that is premiering in May!
Follow your passion, Loud Crowd! You never know when it will pay off!
