This shit happens way too often and it pisses me off everytime. Why waste all that time and money rescanning the film when you end up cutting off such a large portion of it?
Garfield and Friends shittily reanimated the intro too as an extra frick you
That special time when they were making their media for both formats but clearly still considered 4:3 to be the default, so everything is framed and optimized for that so there's just never anything going on in the extra space in 16:9 so it just feels more empty.
pretty sure traditional cel animation is one of the worst for broadcast television ever
it only looked good on feature-length animation and even then, not significantly better if at all compared to any of its successors
uh yeah duh
it was animated by mercury filmworks (the people who do hilda) for like first 5 episode?
and then they switched to rough draft korea and sugarcube
season 1 and season 6 are drastically different in appearance and style of writing. Went from slice of life kids just enjoying summer to lore and feelings
>season 1 and season 6 are drastically different in appearance
lol no they're not >Went from slice of life kids just enjoying summer to lore and feelings
so like every other popular cartoon of the decade?
Chaotic did the opposite between seasons, although it's Flash animation was better than the average slop. Nowhere near Motorcity quality, but still alright.
it definitely didn't look motion-tweened. i picture something more like the fairly odd parents. KotH just went digital but it seemed to be still handdrawn
Most post-cel era cartoons were still done traditionally, even a lot of euroslop. These days pretty much everything involves puppet tweening, save for the sponge, but that's because the animation industry in 2024 is a crusty cadaver filled with shit
>half the cartoon's episodes are cgi and the other half are 2d
>the show fricking alternates them so you never get used to one or the other
Name 2
nta but Galactik Football, team galaxy and Oban Star Racer are probably the closest you are going to get
dont how code lyoko wasnt the first mentioned
I was specifically referring to Huntik season 2.
The alternating styles thing?
>Code Lyoko
>That shitty ass Xaolin Showdown reboot
>Pretty sure the 90s Johnny Quest was like that.
Is there a list of cartoons that did this? I can only remember FOP off the top of my head.
Johnny Test, Cyberchase, Arthur
>Cyberchase
Holy frick, that looks terrible.
in fact of course
i mean technically any reboot though that's stretching the idea of "from one episode to another"
bravest warrior did this to it's region locked final season
Powerpuff girls
maybe the reboot. original didn't.
But it did tho https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WS9sYmmJhgQ

>Cartoon from the early 2000s switches from SD 4:3 to HD widescreen
>The show was actually made in 16:9 HD the whole time, the version you watched on TV two decades ago was just cropped
>show finally gets an HD rerelease
>it's cropped to widescreen

>garfield's hand visibly glitching the frick out
how did this get approved?
wow, it's weird and crushing to see energetic animation be totally stripped of any weight
>Soul/soulless is just nostalgia goggles in acti-
That means an hd 4:3 version exists somewhere in the vault
Thanks for making me angry again.
just found out a few years ago that teen titans was made in 16:10 the whole time
A lot of shows in the mid to late 2000s were originally made in 16:9 but that doesn't necessarily mean it was meant to be watched that way
Ben 10 but it was actually made for both and 4:3 is better
That special time when they were making their media for both formats but clearly still considered 4:3 to be the default, so everything is framed and optimized for that so there's just never anything going on in the extra space in 16:9 so it just feels more empty.
>an ip that is typically animated with motion tweens in toon boom flash, gets a fanmade movie done with traditional cel animation

It was pretty fricking solid for the 90s DC animated shows. Most of that was thanks to the Japanese studios who worked on them, of course.

>cartoon suddenly shifts from soulful expressive puppet animation to hand drawn stiff korean family guy slop midway through the first season
Wait, did that happen to Star Vs?
uh yeah duh
it was animated by mercury filmworks (the people who do hilda) for like first 5 episode?
and then they switched to rough draft korea and sugarcube
>cartoon suddenly has a style change between seasons
that's not a style change, it's just slightly modified character designs.
whats the difference
the style is the same, the characters just shift a little. biggest examples of this atrocity are adventure time and steven universe.
season 1 and season 6 are drastically different in appearance and style of writing. Went from slice of life kids just enjoying summer to lore and feelings
>Went from slice of life kids just enjoying summer to lore and feelings
So basically every other modern cartoon?
Kiss her you fool!
>season 1 and season 6 are drastically different in appearance
lol no they're not

>homie looks EVEN LESS like an elephant
Chaotic did the opposite between seasons, although it's Flash animation was better than the average slop. Nowhere near Motorcity quality, but still alright.
>it's a "anon confuses early digital ink & paint for flash animation" episode
suddenly shifts from traditional cel animation to interpolated flash slop in the same episode
>tfw accidentally ate a hot pepper

Is beanhead animation really the cost of not capitulating these days?
>Cartoon suddenly shows a 3D object with realistic shading amidst 2D characters
>random CGI episode out of nowhere that servers no purpose
Why did they do it
>"oh no, dude, i erased the entire episode"
Martha Speaks was made in Flash and it looked absolutely amazing. What did they do right? It looked hand drawn.
>Martha Speaks was made in Flash
And it shows.
Didn't realize that's a thing
basically every anime in the 2000's
