Adult cartoons and G-cartoons

They used to look and sound different, hit alternate beats

calarts

It's gotten worse

I love watchong The Cartoon

When the calarts style was confined to regular show it worked, even a bit nail on the head.

Adventure time and gumball started the chain reaction into steven universe didn't it

AdTime is the center of everything

pendleton hired abunch of weirdos off tumblr who got their into the industry

Ahhh urite

Regular show was 6mo after

Still I remember seeing that style before

Or a prototype of it

Of AT I mean

adventure time was actually prototyped in like 1999

on nickelodeon

🤔

on one of those cartoon showcase shows

Yeah maybe that's it

it was a favorite of in-industry but wasnt picked up (was thought to be too weird)

And CN used to have those triplet CARTOON CARTOON

Or duos w/e

but when CNReal collapsed the new exec team was willing to try something different

picked it up for a series, pendleton sucked at management, hired tumblr, and the rest is history

I remember hating most of the stuff on those spotlights

They were trine way too hard

And that was in the early 00s

It was a weird time trying to find the next hit for a few years there

I liked the concept

its how we got billy and mandy

I mean that's when network television was still profitable

king of the hill is funny

king of the hill is funny

king of the hill is funny

king of the hill is funny

king of the hill is funny

king of the hill is funny

They could afford to dump a block on experimental shit

ATHF is the singlemost important piece of American animation in the past 20 years

though space ghost started its style
