It's reminding me of that Simpsons episode with the Lighter and Softer Itchy and Scratchy.

To be honest I dont mind lighter and softer, those designs are just ugly, like they tried to emulate Chuck Jones designs and got them terribly, terribly wrong.

I don't think the designs are that bad. But the animation leaves a lot to be desired, as it is obviously rigged as opposed to hand drawn.

According to the end credits, Tom And Jerry Time is animated by Gigglebug Entertainment. They animate Super Duper Bunny League , Beast Boy Lone Wolf , and Merry Little Batman. They also collaborated with Atomic Cartoons on shows like The Last Kids on Earth and Western Animation/101DalmatianStreet. Also, the showrunner for this series, Will Finn, worked on The Tom and Jerry Show (2014) , which also had rigged animation. I think this show looks cute, but maybe it would've been better if Digital E-Mation or Snipple Animation worked on this. I mean, they're great on Bugs Bunny Builders.

Also, should we make a page for the show. These episodes are technically officially released.

So... they just uploaded the series with no prior announcement. LONG after it was cancelled no less. Uh.. I actually don't know what else to comment.

Nah, you have to be sensitive with pre school kids, they get scared easily and you shouldnt just go with anything...

...But then again, Cocomelon y La Granja De Zenon have ugly designs and kids love those.

I miss ThunderCats Roar despite it's surreal animation and nonsensical plots. It was the Teen Titans Go! of the Thundercats franchise.

Yeah, they looked fine to me. Tuffy in particular looks pretty great.

I wonder what the reception of Roar would have been had we gotten a revivial of the 2011 show alongside it.

Probably would have been seen as a weird little spinoff if there was some action Thundercats show going alongside it, even if it wasn't the 2011 one.

Now, if CN showed too much favoritism to the chibi comedy thing while attempting to bury the action show...

A serious/action show being sidelined in favor of a more comedic one? Like that would ever happen (sarcasm)

A REALLY crappy Youtube Video series that babies and really small kids love. They feature the crappiest and most unintentionally scary designs ever.

To be honest, I got used to them and I love the subplot in that video, if you pay attention the wolf is stalking the pig in the background, but she crushes him with her bed in the end lol.

There's a Daffy Duck cartoon from 1942 called "The Impatient Patient," in which Daffy is trying to deliver a telegram in a swamp to somebody named Chloe. I first saw this cartoon as a kid, and even then I wondered what was up with the "Chloe" business, since it seemed so specific. Proving that the internet is indeed good for something, I finally solved the mystery, as it apparently refers to a then-popular song by Louis Armstrong called "The Swamp Song (Chloe)," in which the singer calls out repeatedly to a girl named Chloe.

If there's a joke that seems random and confusing in a Looney Tunes short, 9 times out of 10 it's a reference to some long-forgotten thing from 30s or 40s pop culture. Heck, many of the traits of the most iconic characters are references to things that have been completely forgotten outside of their connection to the cartoons: Bugs Bunny eating carrots? That's a reference to a Clark Gable movie. Foghorn Leghorn's mannerisms? Taken wholesale from the radio character "Senator Claghorn".

[up][up] Louis hadn't recorded it by then (that was 1952), but it was written in 1927 and considered a standard. (The best version, of course, is that by Spike Jones.)

Yeah, I've been listening to old episodes of the radio show The Pepsodent Show with Bob Hope (or The Bob Hope Show), and it is absolutely rife with personalities and bits that got adapted into Looney Tunes.

scrapped Tom And Jerry preschool show.

Tom and Jerry, despite being beloved by kids, is actually a terrible source material for a preschool show - they are always the best when they are allowed to engage in over-the-top cartoon violence, but you can't do that in a show for toddlers.

Hick Critic is finished writing MGM part 4 except for the intro and conclusion. It'll be over two hours long, and he's found what is likely the worst Tom and Jerry cartoon of the original run.

[up][up] To be fair to that show, it did have the classic slapstick, it simply had atrociously ugly designs and bad animation.
