Frederator Studios' Cartoon Hangover General Thread

There is a thread for Cartoon Hangover over at New Media, but virtually nobody's touched it.

Since this is a forum for Western Animation, and Cartoon Hangover is Western Animation, it only makes sense to have this here as a discussion/reaction/everything else thread.

To recap:

Current toons:

Other toons:

Originally, these were uploaded on YouTube, but then YT came up with some weird rules that now made it less of a good idea to just upload all of these original toons for free on YT willy-nilly. Ergo, ongoing stuff like Bravest Warriors season 3 and Bee & PuppyCat season 2 are not on YT, but rather on some weird service called VRV. For more on those two shows, visit their forums. (Though they may be a tad outdated...)

Anyway! This thread was created because Cartoon Hangover has a new phase called GO! Cartoons, which was made in collaboration with Sony Pictures Animation (references not important).

And they've started it with "The Summoning" by Elyse Castro!

As a discussion-starter, my thoughts are simple:

For obvious reasons, I don't trust SPA. Not because it's talent-less, but the people in charge of said talent are using it incompetently. That said, this is still a darkly fun show that seems like a Frederator product first and foremost.

Without more ado, discuss/speculate/react away!

I like Bravest Warriors and Bee & Puppycat. One is a fun sci-fi fantasy adventure with an emotional pulse while the other is a dreamy slice of life starring a thicc robot girl. Both great experiences to watch.

(partially peeks at spoiler)

...Huh. Some interesting things are happening in Bravest Warriors, aren't they?

Curse you VRV for being something I have to pay for!

Anyway, got any thoughts on "The Summoning"? Got a favorite Cartoon Hangover toon?

The Summoning really has the potential to be a full cartoon series IMO.

By full on cartoon you mean for Frederator Cartoon Hangover, right? I don't think CN, Nick, Or Disney would give a show like The Summoning a chance.

Maybe it could work on Adult Swim. Or Adult Swim Jr if that ends up being real.

Or it could just be toned down like most pilots with iffy content.

That's also an option, but I kinda want it to keep it's tone. Would be nice to see a series on Adult Swim that doesn't need to be really that adult.

If those two cats in "The Summoning" can get some more development, I'll keeping watching without much complaint, should it ever become a series... Right now, I don't find them all that likable or engaging - just rather hardheaded and reckless (but not in a believable way that I'm used to such characters being...), which isn't a good sign for me, in terms of getting truly attached to the M Cs of something to be.

Still better than most of the other pilots I've seen here - especially "Boots"..... Honestly, now that was some weak shite right there, IMHO.

Speaking of which, I really should've been updating this page as more GO! Cartoons show up...

And the newest toon, The Bagheads:
