Thats because most of the original fans outgrew american cartoons. Now we're into Japanese cartoons XD

*Revan* · 03-29-2007, 01:21 AM

I suppose I don't care anymore. They can do as they wish. Not really into LBT like I was. I feel bad for Disney fans though. Those Disney Nazis keep adding sequels to the classics!

Ra · 03-29-2007, 02:48 AM

Don't get me started on those sequels. They are worse than "The Land Before Time"!

...

Okay, maybe not so bad, but still....

...Except being into "Japanese cartoons" is SO old hat now, it's like saying "I still listen to Linkin Park". Most animation fans have become desensetised to current animation, and blame Japan for hurting the industry severly with s*itty imports. More people DISLIKE Anime now than people who enjoy it, so don't catergorise us. I'd rather watch plenty of current American cartoons than the current Jap crap

amen to that brotha this hulkamaniac argeess with ya 100% oooohhh yeah!

EDIT: it's like when I walked into the Saniago Comicon I was so pissed because I thought it was a comic book convention not another anime convention...I was highly dissapointed...I really wish the trend would go away.

Daunt · 03-29-2007, 02:45 PM

Oh man I loved the first LBT movie so much.

But I avoid the sequels like the plague. I'm a huge Don Bluth fan though...don't even get me started on Secret of Nimh. <3

As for the whole anime thing? Well I think that somehow the import of anime/manga etc has really proven to the American industry that cartoons can be fun for grownups too, not just 5 year olds. I am very picky about what anime I watch and a majority of it is horrible (ugh, Inuyasha & DBZ needs to go back to Japan. >:[ ) but at the same time I think it's good for the industry to see cartoons in general have an older fanbase, too.

Gosh how many years did that dry spell for cartoons go on? I just remember when there was a huge period where all American cartoons were utter crap unless it had Disney's/Warner Brother's name on it.

Thank god for shows like TMNT and Avatar now, I don't know what I'd do otherwise.

Jon · 03-29-2007, 03:15 PM

I dunno, I still like the Land Before Time Movies. Sure the first gave an 'epic' feel, and all. But the others 'cuter' stories were nice as well.

Also of note, I recently found quite a deal on most of them. Toys R Us' website had a sale going on, having the first 4-Pack and the 9-Pack DVD Box-Sets selling for just $19.99 each!! So I snagged the 9-Pack (which, it seems, is no longer available -- thank goodness for my good timing). Even with s&h added it was a steal, with a total price of $23.49!

Plenty of 1980's cartoons like Transformers, the original TMNT, and Centurions were doing that before the Jap crap.

Sonic SATAM, Biker Mice From Mars, X-Men (Fox Kids), Spider-Man (Fox Kids), Cadilacs and Dinosaurs, and tons of other shows in the 1990s were awesome, so I don't know what you're talking about when you say Disney and WB had all the best stuff, whilst their shows were amongst the most definitive, nothing beyond them was'nt neccersarily bad

Cartoons were scarse because Power Rangers had wiped out everything back then, not because of a lapse in animation beyond Disney and WB.

I soo miss most of those. Damn CN and their lack of getting good cartoons like these, Ghostbusters, and TMNT...

Well the 80's cartoons were good but...also really we remember those fondly because we were kids watching them. They are still good now but part of what made them good was their cheese. :D I wouldn't call them gripping half hour shows of awesome though.

The late 90's had very few decent cartoons. Gargoyles was amazing, I never got into BMFM though. I shouldn't have said there were no good cartoons in the 90's, because there were some good ones BUT there were oodles more bad ones. :(

But really the American cartoons that are out now are freaking awesome. Justice League, Batman, Batman Beyond, Avatar...gosh I could go on. (X-men Evo, Spiderman, etc) There was a HUGE decline in cartoon quality here in the US but it's my personal opinion that the popularity of japanese animation here really jump started the industry. Now I can turn on the TV and spot one of dozens of decent and even wonderful cartoons.

I'm no expert of course, this is all just personal observation over the past 15 years....but I used to avoid all cartoons unless they came with a recommendation. Now I have tons of shows I love to watch. :)

Speaking of old good 90's shows....anyone remember Pirates of Dark Water? ;)

Sad that they put "Yep Yep Yep!" on her tombstone.

There are so many of those movies, it's freaking annoying.

I still feel bad for all those fans that have to deal with the crappy sequels that must die. Worst thing is, Don Bluth wasn't involved with the sequels, and besides, his incredible masterpiece didn't need to be pushed with horrible sequels that it really didn't need. If they really wanted to make sequels, then Don Bluth should have been part of it, and then they wouldn't have been so sh*tty. Wonder how bad the TV show on Cartoon Network is, probably as bad as the movies themselves.

Part of what made them good were how awesome they were, not their cheese. That's a cheap excuse for people who don't want to admit the bad animation prevented the storylines from being measured up the cartoons from the 1990's.
