In all honesty you are correct in your assumption, but at what point do you feel the downward spiral begun?milojthatch wrote:Why? Unless you can honestly tell me that Wonder Over Yonder fits with the tones of such classics as Peter Pan, The Jungle Book and The Lion King? In the late 90's, Disney TV Animation was trying to buck the "feel" of traditional Disney tone and not be locked into one kind of show, and hey, I get that. Even Walt Disney liked to play with styles. The difference is between say a Gravity Falls vs. a Gargoyles is that Gargoyles at it's heart still had that Disney tone. Like Greg Weisman once told me, look at Night on Bald Mountain an example of that.So even when DTVA was experimenting, the shows still felt like Disney.disneyphilip wrote: I disagree.
Then we come to today, an era where Disney seems ashamed that they are Disney. You are free to disagree of course (which I'm sure makes the suites at Disney happy), but I feel very strongly that 9 out of 10 times, modern Disney TV Animation lacks that Disney magic that stuff from the 80's, 90's and even early 2000's had. These days Disney is just another studio making ho hum movies and shows, and that makes me sad.

Re: Disney Television Animation
Funny you should mention Cartoon Network Studio which started as subdivision of Hanna-Barbera. I feel modern Cartoon Network Studio shows are having the exact same problem when compaired to classic Hanna-Barbera shows that they lacking "heart" and "magic" compared to the earlier HB product and the exact same trend as with Disney TV animation and every other studio still in operation seems to be following this trend far as TV animation goes. Which tells me that this is rather culture problem in the American TV industry or we grew up. Although I would think its the former as there has been compelling and apealing theatrical animation made since mid-2000s.milojthatch wrote:Again, that is just proving my point. Those character designs for “Billy Dilley’s Super-Duper Subterranean Summer” and “Country Club” feel more at home with Cartoon Network than something with the "Disney" name on it. I want to say I'm disappointed, but at this point, it's kind of expected sadly. I still have hope for DuckTales 2017. I want that to be good. From the promo image, it might have more a Barks feel to it than the original show, which I'm fully down with.

Re: Disney Television Animation
Let us begin by stating the obvious. In a creative sense or just plain basic animation aesthetic I for one am appaled by what graces the tv screen on a daily bases. The lack of basic anatomy in most animated characters turns my stomach as much as it hurts my eyes. The music and dialogue of any show is below any standard when compared to previous, earlier 80's & 90's outings. I for one blame Pokemon and Shin Chan albeit mildly amusing. It started off a trend from which anything that followed was more bizarre and horendous than what came before. All beauty was lost never to be found again. Disney added insult to injury. Most recently with the 7D's..a show that one can only assume would have Walt roll in his grave should he have been alive today. It's as If The Lion King and Snow white are fainted memory. Lost to us forever to make place for less and less art. The magic word? Haste! Why spend hours and hours on end in story meetings when one can spit out something in a matter of seconds. ..7D im looking at you again! As long as people will turn their children towards the screen ..It's good enough for the masses. Cynic? No..Realist? Yes.

@Kyle...not my best example, but you see my point...@ Disney Divinity..actually I meant a little of both. ..as much as I enjoyed the latter feautures (2000 & onwards) imo none came close to what came before

Re: Disney Television Animation
That's a good question. I could say it started with Shnookums and Meat back in 1995 or even Pepper Ann a few years later, but they were exceptions to the rule at the time. No, I guess I'd have to say it really started once Disney TV Animation moved from syndication and network television and was made exclusively for cable. Many of the series in the 2000's straddled the line between being traditionally Disney and copying Cartoon Network, with more of those series tipping closer to the feel of a Cartoon Network show. The Buzz on Maggie and The Replacements come to mind.Heil Donald Duck wrote:
In all honesty you are correct in your assumption, but at what point do you feel the downward spiral begun?
However, I guess I'd have to say they didn't officially cross that barrier until the 2010's with Fish Hooks, Gravity Falls and Wonder Over Yonder. I'd say the last staunchly "Disney" DTVA series was 2006's Lilo and Stitch: The Series, which like the film it's based on, maintained it's own style while still holding onto traditional Disney styles. I miss those days.
The irony is that I am well aware that a number of creatives from The Disney Afternoon and One Saturday Morning days actually like the way it is today better. I know this becuase a few of them have told me as much directly or I have read their comments in general. Despite that, I personally am not a fan. I decided a long time ago what I expect from my favorite animation studio and I see no reason to alter that view today even if they have. The Disney style made Disney the brand unique and for decades was the envy of most of the animation world. Frankly, you could slap any other studio's logos on the shows coming out of DTVA today and I doubt few would know the difference. I find that sad, but maybe the saddest part is how many "fans" are OK with this. Lots of folks these days more interested in the outside of the package than the inside. It's tragic.
After Warner Bros. bought Turner and Hanna-Barbera, I don't really feel that anything original on Cartoon Network could be thought of as H-B in the traditional sense. However, let's not forget that well before Warner joined the party, H-B was starting to shift gears with What a Cartoon Show, which ultimately gave rise to the early years of original series on CN and really shaped that brand. All of that happened at least a year before WB. I kind of feel however that at that time the TV cartoon landscape was so diverse and H-B, the once proud king of TV cartons was in such decline, that What a Cartoon Show was sort of their way of screaming to the world that they were still there.Heil Donald Duck wrote: Funny you should mention Cartoon Network Studio which started as subdivision of Hanna-Barbera.

I should also point out that I personally have no issue with different styles of animation and in fact see it as a good thing for animation as a while to diversify. The world needs things like UPA, Don Bluth or Nick Toons. I just don't feel that most of that is appropriate for Disney, that's all.

Povenmire said, "My sister is 10 years younger than me, and I had never seen our kind of sibling age gap portrayed in a cartoon so I thought it would be an interesting dynamic to explore. The show focuses on how their relationship shifts due to her new super powers and how they both navigate through it.

Re: Current Slate of DTVA
I agree milo completely.
The Disney animators are taking the shortcut on creating cartoons. Because it is just simpler to do comic book art and the heck with quality.
Old school Disney such as myself are dying off and to a greed focused Disney, there is no profit in my generation left. The parks, the movies all lead to making money on the young generation.
I'm afraid we are screwed. Our only hope left is Disney+ and that's it. Sadly I'm not holding out lots of hope as I have seen zero indicators on what pre-90s content will be added.
To prove my point, try and find Walt in any tv, park or other material nowadays. Got to look really hard.
Young Disney fans will disagree because they don't have any clue what quality animation looks like.
IMHO, it ended the day Vault Disney and MWiD, WWoD and ABC Disney Sunday Movie disappeared and MM & DD turned into stick figures!

Chris

Slated to premiere on Disney Junior and Disney+ in 2022, the music-filled series follows a team of young kids who are the children of first responders, and their talking vehicle sidekicks, as they embark on adventures together and learn what it truly means to be a hero. This is Gerber's first series to debut under his Disney Branded Television overall development deal with his new production banner, Electric Emu. Gerber also has a second project in development with Kris Wimberly, who worked with him on "Elena of Avalor" and is also a director on "Firebuds." Created by Wimberly, the series follows a time-traveling treasure hunter and will be executive-produced by both Wimberly and Gerber.
Source: http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news/2022 ... 6disney01/Set in a fantastical world where talking vehicles live, work and play with the humans who drive them, "Firebuds" follows a boy named Bo and his fire engine best friend Flash as they team up with their first responder friends to help others in their community with problems big and small. Each episode is comprised of two 11-minute stories that showcase the importance of teamwork, helping fellow citizens and volunteerism. The creative team worked with consultants from RespectAbility to help populate the diverse communities of Gearbox Grove and Motopolis featured in the series.
The lead voice cast includes Declan Whaley as Bo, Terrence Little Gardenhigh as Flash, Vivian Vencer as Violet, Lily Sanfelippo as Axl, JeCobi Swain as Jayden, and Caleb Paddock as Piston. Lou Diamond Phillips and Yvette Nicole Brown also star as co-fire chiefs, Chief Bill Bayani and Chief Faye Fireson, respectively.
Planned extensions for the series include "Disney Junior Music: Firebuds" digital soundtrack from Walt Disney Records, debuting Sept. 16, and storybooks from Disney Publishing releasing later next year. Spin Master is the North American toy licensee for the series and will debut an innovative toy line featuring vehicles, figures, playsets and more, launching in summer 2023. Additionally, Bo and Flash will be featured in the upcoming "Disney Junior Live On Tour: Costume Palooza," launching Sept. 2, with stops at more than 80 North American cities throughout 2022.
In addition to Gerber, the series' creative team consists of Matt Hoverman as story editor, Francis Giglio as art director, and Robb Pratt and Craig Simpson as supervising director and producer, respectively. Krystal Banzon, Leanna Dindal, Norma Sepulveda, Jeremy Shipp and Alyssa Stratton comprise the writing team, and the episodic directors are Kris Wimberly and Julius Aguimatang. Emmy Award-nominated Beau Black is the series songwriter, and Emmy Award winner Frederik Wiedmann is composer. "Firebuds" is produced by Disney Television Animation.

Hailey will be pushed outside her comfort zone to discover the greatness within as she systematically conquers her fears, whether she is winning a sand-building competition, wrestling a honey badger, eating a raw onion, or facing her ever-growing and complicated feelings toward her best friend, Scott.
