Specifically the Catillac cats segments. I'm watching some on YT and they sexualize Cleo a lot, imply that her and Riff Raff are fricking, and treat catnip like a drug.

The Heathcliff cartoon is pretty wild.
Frick Heathcliff, I mostly watch it for Cleo
trips of truth
Cleo was pretty to look at but the car was
I liked it because it was consistent with Heathcliff's characterization as a beast. I also liked how Heathcliff was only a menace if you provoked him first, which the Catillac Cats were sure to have done in the past based on their characterization.
Frick me, the car was the best part*.
Reverse
Sex with Tiger Woods.
You zoomers REALLY need to watch 90s and 2000s cartoons. Pardon, this was a 86s cartoon.
Where are the Cadillac Cats from? Were they invented for the cartoon?
I agree, they were by far the best part of the show.
Yes. Heathcliff also never interacted with RiffRaff outside the end credits either. Always thought it was weird how the other three could show up in Heathcliff shorts but those two were never in the same story.
Riff Raff was in the audience when Heathcliff fought Spike in the ring.
Whoops! It wasn't Spike. It was Spike's cousin.
Oh yeah riff raff was in the backround I was thinking how healthcliff would interact with riff raffs gang but never really with riff raff unless there was an episode I never saw .
The creators originally wanted to make Catillac Cats, but only could get their wish if it was bundled up with Heathcliff. This was your fun fact of the day.
Even as a kid I loved how they were pretty badass in their own cartoon but got their ass kicked in Heathcliff's parts.
They didn't have Riffraff appear in segments with Heathcliff presumably for that very reason.
Hope those french bastards get the DiC book released in English
it's bittersweet at best, DiC was good, but gradually took a spiral in the '90s before hitting rock bottom in the '00s
Seriously how do you go from Mysterious Cities of Gold to Super Duper Sumos?
DiC was responsible for that? I thought it was a Nick production.
DiC was basically a giant internal Ponzi scheme: they funded cartoons using the budgets ear-marked for future projects, which collapsed when kids animation became saturated and they received fewer contracts. Even in the 80s they always stood for "Do It Cheap."
Why was Mysterious Cities of Gold so good? Because it was outsourced to Studio Pierrot.
and losing TMS to both Disney and Warner Bros, thus outsourcing to cheaper animation in the '90s. Hammerman with stiff animation was a warning sign that things were about to suck. The "Tex Avery" cartoon in '97 showed how far DiC had fallen from grace. Super Duper Sumos was the nadir point and Horseland & Sushi Pack were DiC's last gasp before going defunct in '09.
DiC did that shitty Tex Avery cartoon? Never knew that. That show was so offensively bad and boring I could never get past 5 minutes of it.
I tried watching it back in '97 as a teen but it hurt my brain and change the channel to Kids WB.
Oh that sucks
The canon films business model
Is THAT what "DiC" stood for??? I always wondered why'd they go with a name that sounded so much like "dick."
DIC!
Deek doesn't sound like dick at all
It stood for "Diffusion, Information Communications"
Strange I know.
Sonic SatAM was one of their best looking shows. A lot of it had amazing background and orchestral pieces.
As far as I can tell it’s basically about the golden age of DiC so it doesn’t have the sumo show in it
DIC is owned by a canadian company
Damn
Something else I can't have
I couldn’t even pay for it on the weird French Kickstarter .
I would imagine that they’d be some nostalgia market for the book in the English speaking world so maybe some publisher will put it out
Is this new stuff or just a re-issue of this?
i have it, but cant scan it
Ulysse 31 is interesting. A cult classic right now, had an expanded OST release after they found the presumed lost stereo master tapes.
>shuky Levi master tapes appearing
Please tell me they found Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors with the Ulysses tapes.
I do not know.
I think it’s largely the same but with extra pages
I don’t understand French so don’t take my word on it.
I think if those guys did a Kickstarter they could easily raise enough money to pay for an English translation of the book
Lots of people in America grew up on these cartoons
You overestimate the number of English speakers who actually care for such a book.
Nostalgia still sells
>Lupin III is our because hes French in cannon
Ballsy
It says The Shows of our Youth.
It was the 80's.
Parents didn't care about stuff like this, so animators added tons of fan service.
Catnip is a drug.
>sax plays every time she was on screen
Fricking Zoomers learning about my Generation X cartoons, is always hilarious.
Yes anon. And we kids loved this shit back in the 80s.
Also there were many times Riff Raff tried to cheat on Cleo with a hotter girl, only to get caught in the end. And Cleo forgiving him every time.
Except we zoomers got told by our parents and grandparents of how "clean" tv was back in their day.
At least in my case anyway. I keep looking at more old movies and cartoons and shows and I'm sitting her thinking wtf were they on about
Not that I am complaining about how TV was like back then, that is. I’m just laughing because the older generations have seem to just completely block out memories of their television
I think (and this is just a GAME THEORY, so take it easy) that this is a difference between lots and lots of openly sexy suggestions without anything outright stated (back then) vs blatantly talking about fricking without showing it (now).
Their memories are because prime time and even post-watershed TV was a lot cleaner compared to now. With kids shows they've become more sanitized compared to then, but that's also because of the people who grew up on previous shows wisening up to the tricks that older creators used to get stuff past the censors, plus the rise of the furry fandom making cartoon animals no longer acceptable for that kind of material.
Is your first sentence more about live action?
Both, but TV is TV, and being live action or animated doesn't change which regulations and censors it's subject to. If anything it proves their point, because there's more adult-oriented cartoons today, where's even back in the late 80s and early 90s it was hilariously controversial when Bart Simpson was just a typical rebellious kid and that was a primetime sitcom for adults.
This. Entertainment aimed at kids has become more sanitized and safe, while entertainment aimed at adults has become raunchier.
though there are some kids' shows today that still hide innuendo
Clean just means highly likely to get you to put your penis in pussy.
Your parents are gay and moronic. WITNESS TRUE AUTISM.
>a hotter girl
You mean the cat with black hair ?
HERESY !!!!!! She was nowhere hear as how as Cleo !!
In his defense, it was an open relationship. Cleo "likes her freedom". Also, call me a fake fan, but I cannot remember more than 1 episode that was about this.
DIC's quality already dipped after the early-mid 80's. Just check out how jank Mario is, for example.
>treat catnip like a drug
I just realized that this association has been bedrock-solid in my mind for as long as I can remember, and this show is where I got it. Thanks, Cinemaphile.
I love Cinemaphile. So many memories get unlocked here
>old thread dies
>hey I want the cat fricker thread back!
Keep seething
Yes.
heathcliff was pretty hot, wish he brapped
In the French version, Riff-Raff is voiced by the same guy who dubbed Bruce Willis. Awesome voice actor, who really gave a unique personality to the character.
It's one of the perks of growing up watching dubbed movies, you get to hear Robin Williams, Harrison Ford and Silvester Stallone (or rather: their voices) dubbing random cartoon characters.
Did the French ever get a complete DVD set?
In the German version of Kitten Around, Cleo really makes use of stress and other vocal talents. She is like
VAMP

(19:15)
That is indeed true. Also, German apparently has the word "betrothed".
was there a japanese dub?
Two of them even
Really? Proof homie?
Don't say the Black person word it's unnecessary
From what I know there was a turkish dub!
And TMS produced some episodes.
Now I got to post this.
Do you expect people to laugh at this or something? I can pretend if it makes you feel better.
You can laugh or not laugh, free citizen of Ze World. I just once found the original poster made from this crummy tiny GIF, and made some GIFception. I ma obviously not laughing at (you), since (you) did not make the poster.
When I was a kid my babysitter was a blonde with a similar 'ponytail over the shoulder' cut, and that combined with the height difference between her and Riff Raff always made my little-kid brain assume she WAS his babysitter who was also dating him. Goes without saying that this caused quite a few hangups later in life. It's probably one of the reasons I've never dated a woman younger than me.
This girl looks even hotter than Sally in SatAM. And I say this as a Sonic gay.
any time anyone says "Sexualize" what they're saying without saying it is: "I hate sex appeal in women." It's fricking reductive. having sex appeal doesn't take away from who a character is, it's just one aspect of our humanity.
Some people want to be in control who you are attracted to, when, and when and where you have sex. Controlling the private lifes of people..... think of the power!
And then, they fricked.
Look where her arm goes. If that's not touching private areas I don't know what else.
GIWTWM
If DiC was still around would they be outsourcing to Kenya
Korean sweatshops like everyone else
philippines is the new cheap hotness
Need more girls like Cleo in the cartoons coming out now, be it on Nick, Disney or CN.
>cartoon is about to end its run
>final episodes are of lower quality
>Show is expected to bring in no more profits
>Redirect it's budget to a fresh show
It sucks but I can see the logic.
Cleo in bathrobe is weird. But at least the car was transforming
>her old model sheet on packaging
>made in Macao
I thought it was just a name of a card game, kek
It's way better than the Penny merchandise
That was the french modelsheet, not the japanese one.
And they improved her.
It's real
>No shorts
>episode not done in japan
Do these characters ever appear in the strip?
Maybe they made a cameo. But who cares, since Heathcliff is probably more unfunny than Garfield.
Modern Heathcliff is actually hilarious
She looks like she listens to Black Magick SS.
She is Vibing to this track
Mel Blanc is the best part of heathcliff
>The complete series was released on DVD
>The complete series is online
>People still use the same screenshots from 25 year old VHS rips
thats how the dvds looked, like excrement
Even pirating is too hard for people these days, would give them anxiety and depression.
All 86 episodes? Prove it
HAM
>animated by Japanese studio
That is why. Nips are super horny animators...and that's a good thing!
French and Japanese is the horniest combo.
She is complete shit, Heathcliff is hotter
I liked the background cameos of Inspector Gadget characters in this show.
Reverse also did happen.
