Shout outs to Jim Cummings, Mel Blanc, Frank Welker, Tara Strong, Billy West, Tom Kenny, and Rob Paulsen for voicing most of the cartoons I grew up with.
Double points to Cummings.

my top 3 western avant garde animators:
Harry Smith
Heaven and Earth Magic (1962)
psychedelic cut-and-paste occult surrealist masterpiece. at one point Harry Smith was working on a 6 hour version of Wizard of Oz.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbjSSyAo9WA
John Whitney
Catalog (1961)
Whitney made animations by re-purposing surplus WWII anti-air computers and programming them to control cameras. pretty much the first computer animations ever.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbV7loKp69s
Jordan Belson
Belson created custom camera and lighting equipment to shoot surreal and abstract films that would accurately capture the spiritual visions he had. his estate is super strict about keeping his films offline but they are really wild, the only thing i can compare them to is the end of 2001: A Space Odyssey. often it feels like you are in the presence of some ghost or other entity. very trippy.

Halloween's in six days. Might as well get into the spirit.
I've never laughed so hard at a films ending than the reveal at the end of this.
It was fucking great.

Weird way of spelling Animaniacs. I'm usually pretty critical of 90s cartoons in favor of modern ones but Animaniacs is too good.
I heard so much good stuff about Persepolis over the years, I gotta check it out soon.
You're gonna have complicated feelings when you realise most of your favourite cartoons in the '80s / '90s were actually Japanese animation (Ducktales, Transformers, etc.).

I always found it interesting to look at pencil tests for computer animated movies.

I mean if we define where its animated like 70% of all animated shows are produced in South Korea right?

Yeah, and a lot of anime episodes aren't actually animated in Japan.
Anyway, it will be nice to have a thread like this to discuss shows that aren't yet popular enough to get an OT. For example, back when We Bare Bears started, everyone was discussing it in the Steven Universe thread for some reason.
I suppose this could also be used to link a new show OT when it's made.

Samurai Jack gifs?
The best thing about that show was how nobody making it showed any constraint. If they had an idea, they'd just go all out. Remember that fight scene that was entirely in black and white?

Easily one of the best modern adaptations of a classic cartoon. It only gets better as it goes on.

Clone Wars gets better and better as the seasons go on. There's a decent amount of character development involved Ahsoka going from inexperienced Padawan to disciplined Jedi and Anakin becoming more and more disillusioned and touched by the dark side. It's also a really beautiful looking show at times with the last season in particular having some very cinematic scenes.

It was a wider range. Season 4 and 5 of The Cone Wars is still better than Rebels so far. Season 1 from The Clone Wars is not as good a Rebels (although episode 15 is one of my favorites ).
Glad to see it get some love in here.
Dramatic irony made those two a legitimately fantastic item.

This is going to be a good thread.

Lol at the rating: "Scary scenes". Is there commentary on all the episodes or just a few? I've never been more tempted to own a bluray player in my life.
Cool thread.
Check out Pig Goat Banana Cricket, Harvey Beaks, We Bare Bears, Star vs. the Forces of Evil and Futureworm!

I'm going on a tour of Nickelodeon Animation Studios next week.
I'm excited, but I'd probably be more excited if I were following any of Nick's current shows.

Only two pages and it's already full of love and adoration to the people and products of the industry. I really wish we had a thread on web based animation and the like. From the up and comers starting their journey on the web to people making shows on the web, to just fight animations and such. Oh well, maybe some day.

little bit of PoE, might as well
slowly starting to think this might have been the best english animated film of the 90s, even over my GOATs beauty and the beast and lion king.
Love seeing TRON Uprising get recognition. I also have to recommend Motorcity. It also aired on Disney XD with TRON. Easily my favorite thing Titmouse has done. Awesome and unique style, very dynamic animation, and Mark Hamill is always welcome in animation. It was also cancelled with TRON, and only has the one season.
I'd also like to throw in Moral Orel, which I slept on and recently watched on Hulu, realizing my mistake. The show is a ride and gets very dark and very real in the end of the second season and all of the third.
Both are available on Hulu in full in the US, as well as on Amazon and iTunes for purchase.

To my surprise, looks like commentary on all ten episodes (all by creator Pat Hale and art director Nick Cross). There's also an eight-minute behind the scenes featurette, a "composer's cut" (which seems to be an isolated score), the original pilot and some cut animatics.
Some quick screenshots:
