The best part is the version in the actual show was a parody of Pink Elephants on Parade from Dumbo:

I still haven't seen an episode of that show. It looks pretty funny but there's something about that art style that seems strange...:ponder:

Apparently it is rather funny. But yes, I've never much cared for its look either, from what all I've seen.

But yeah. Nice touch! One of those little things like Libman's *gasp* sound effect being reversed from Pinkie Pie into the inhaling just before Fluttershy's "yay".

Yeah, I feel the same. The art style just isn't appealing to me for it.

Why do prime-time cartoons have crappy art style? :ohrarity:

(Yeah, most kids cartoons aren't appealing to look at, either, but adult cartoons always seem to look worse)

I guess it's sometimes done deliberately because it's adult animation. Y'know, because adults aren't allowed to enjoy or like whimsical and colorful stuff, so any cartoons for adults have to be restrained in their art and somewhat non-pretty in order to command any respect. I think South Park is the cartooniest adult cartoon on the air today.

I wonder how many people remember that "The Flintstones" was originally made for adults.

(It wasn't a good show, but I loved the design style)

It was pretty much exactly The Honeymooners, but animated.

I'd actually been thinking of mentioning The Flintstones there, though I wasn't sure how relevant a cartoon from the '60s would be today. But yes, it was (at least in its earlier seasons) a primetime adult cartoon in much the same vein as The Simpsons.

Funny thing is I always preferred the Fruity Pebbles commercials over the source material. They have better animation, too.



(From 1988. Apparently this spot never aired because Barney is crossdressing, even though the original show had him dressed up as a woman many times.)

There are good things about the Flintstones, but I'm a bigger Jay Ward fan.

I'm a fan of "Top Cat", though. Probably the best Hanna-Barbera show. Again, it was made for adults on prime-time, although kids liked it better.

Octavia wrote:It was pretty much exactly The Honeymooners, but animated.

Hanna-Barbera made millions ripping off ideas, even from themselves. It was a good business practice, really.

My question is whether you consider the MGM Tom & Jerry theatricals to be "Hanna-Barbera". I mean, they're almost unquestionably better than almost anything else they made until like the 90s, but they also had like ten times the budget. :-P

Ehhhh, I consider them MGM, together with the Tex Avery cartoons made at the same time. Although yes, a lot of the MGM animators transitioned to Hanna-Barbera after MGM closed their studio.

On the other hand, most Tom and Jerry cartoons blur together. Hanna-Barbera pretty much did it for money. They were never interested in advancing the medium, they just did these cartoons because they were easy cash for them.

Nah, Netflix will pick up Season 6+ of Pony, they've just rebooted the Magic Schoolbus. Plus, Pony is one of their top rating kids shows so I'm sure they'd be interested if it were possible.

Horse around with Twilight!

Given the way Hasbro has previously and successfully produced direct-to-video stuff (see: G3), if the Hub died then moving FiM to digital-only distribution such as Netflix would be really modern and forward-thinking of them. Of course, that means that they won't do it. :gotcha:

The only reason I'm scared about the idea of MLP moves to Netflix is that it kills their international audience who can't access Netflix. Would the show air on television in other nations if the show isn't released on television in the US? Will the fans in the other parts of the world be reduced to downloading torrents?

I don't think it'll happen.

This fandom managed to take off even in the early days, back before international distribution agreements were worked out. If Hasbro decided to drop those international distributors for some reason then I imagine they'd likely loosen up on YouTube uploads again.

Netflix shows air in other countries.

House of Cards remake for example airs (normally on cable networks) around the world, same with Orange is the New Black and other netflix original shows. I mean, it won't happen but it is a possibility for a netflix made Season 6 or 7 of Pony :v:

Last night I had a dream they showed animatics of FIM the Season 5 premire at SDCC and they were awesome! :awesomedash:


And they also showed off Equestria Academy, which was all anime style, AJ was kinda muscular which was neat.

....Butt Fluttershy was way too busty for a kids show. :rainbert:

And my dream ended saying After season 5 pony would be moving to Cartoon Network for seasons 6-8.

I have very nerdy dreams. :v:

Also half of the Audiance were Koopas, Goombas & Toads.
