*Ninjinister* · 06-22-2010, 12:54 PM

It looks terrible.

*Samhain* · 06-22-2010, 01:01 PM

Wow. That's not gonna last.

I had read a description of the pitch last week, and although everyone else was freaking out, I was willing to give it the benefit of the doubt.

Then I saw this yesterday, and I changed my mind. I'd much rather them just rehash the old Pac-Man cartoon than this rubbish.

*Raph's Girl* · 06-22-2010, 01:57 PM

I hope the series isn't in 3D like that trailer.

I like the game and I saw a couple eps of the 80's series but man Im not sure about this. Giving the ghosts origins (monsters who's bodies were taken away thousands of years ago?) is a bit...weird but I guess needed....

Wonder what channel this'll be on? Probably The Hub.

TMNT_Guy · 06-22-2010, 03:22 PM

Ok, being a huge Pac-Fan I've got to say...WHAT?!? Did anyone making this even play any of the new games? Or the game at all?

1. Location.

What the heck is up with that future-istic city? In the games Pac-Man lives in Pac-Vilage. Best example I can think of is the Smurf's home minus the Mushroom houses. But this? Generic future city is what their going with instead?

2. Characters:

Where's Ms. Pac-Man? Where's Pac-Man Jr? Where's Baby Pac-Man? Where's Pac-Man's dog, Chompy? Hell, where's Inky, Blinky, Pinky, and Clyde? Who's that ghost king that reminds me of Ganon from the Zelda cartoon? Who is that big nosed ripoff of Professor Pac-Man? Who are those two kids with Pac-Man? Is this really Pac-Man Jr?

Honestly, where? Where is everybody, and who are these generic characters?

Other Complaints:

What's with everyones eyes? There suposed to be in the shape of the Pac-Man sprite. Since when do the Power Pellets make Pac-Man fly, and for that matter how can Pac-Man even eat a ghost without a Power Pellet? Why are Pac-Man's boots now sneakers? Since when can the ghost possess people? WHY DOES PAC-MAN sound like a boy?

My gosh, the original cartoon was more acurate then this! Ever since I played Pac-Man World 2 I thought a new Pac-Man cartoon would be great. It could have a sort of classic Mickey Mouse type of feel, some episodes could have a comical yet heart warming episode with Pac-Man's family, while others could be action oriented with Pac-Man's forever battle with the ghosts.

But no...no...instead we get a sci-fi action oriented show where Pac-MAN is a boy who has Scooby-Doo rejects for friends. Oh, and he LOVES food I mean, there aren't any other cartoon characters that are comicaly in LOVE with food. :Cough: Shaggy and Scooby-Doo Yoshi Garfield Donkey Kong Mario Taz Kirby Michaelangelo Dizzy Devil Launchpad McQuack :Cough:

I hope that this isn't a sign of things to come now that Pac-Man's creator Tōru Iwatani has retired.

*Powder* · 06-22-2010, 03:43 PM

You know that sound scooby doo makes when hes confused/surprised?

I swear to god thats what I did when I saw the title of this thread...

"hrrrnggmph?!"

*Brodie* · 06-22-2010, 03:51 PM

I've kind of come to the conclusion that I can just not read your posts anymore...

Anyway, this short is awful. Won't last.

I think the word you're looking for is, "Baroo?"

And...wow. Wow is that cartoon trailer horrible.
Just...wow.

*Eiko* · 06-22-2010, 04:47 PM

Poor Pac-man getting such a crappy TV show. You never know it could turn out great but no likely.

The Shelf · 06-22-2010, 07:33 PM

As bad as this looks, it's still ten times better than the old Pacman cartoon. Not even nostalgia can make that thing bearable.

...how? How does this look better? Don't criticize a Hanna-Barbera cartoon unless your going back it up. The creators of Tom and Jery, Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound, Scooby-Doo, Penelope Pitstop, Dastardly and Muttley, Atom Ant, The Jetsons, Quick Draw McGraw, Snagglepuss, Magilla Gorilla, The Flinstones, Secret Squirrel, Wally Gator, The Hillbilly Bears, Pixie and Dixie and Mr. Jinks, Squiddly Diddly and many others demand it.

*Candy Kappa* · 06-22-2010, 10:00 PM

yes the epicness that is Hanna-Barbera where The Flintstones living room got 50 windows and lap tables.

The Pac-Man show wasn't the best the put out (not worst either)

Hahaha, well, I just looked up some clips from the old Pacman cartoon, and I will revise my previous statement. This new Pacman cartoon and the old one are equally awful. Just because you're a fan of most of the things a company has made doesn't mean you have to be a fan of everything they made.

You also forgot these... Where's Pac-Man's cat, Sourpuss? Where's Sue, the female ghost monster & their bratty cousin Dinky?

What. PAC-MAN was a video game, and it barely had a plot. BUT HOW IN THE H*LL CAN THEY MAKE A TV SHOW?
