You poor soul...

Tbf I was young and didn’t really know better at the time so I ended up consuming way more junk that needed, so I was more numb to it at the time than I would be now

 

[SneakyLink]

I had em both on dvd as a kid.

loved em.

I was a dumb kid.

If it's any consolation, I had Shark Tale on DVD as a kid.

Don't remember much of it though.

Last Dreamworks movies I saw were Wallace and Gromit Curse of the Were Rabbit (ok so it's technically Aardman), Monsters vs Aliens (which I enjoyed) and Kung Fu Panda (which I don't remember much of except that I have the Xbox 360 game, complete with Smash style multiplayer).

I just hope none of you guys on here had ever watched The Boss Baby.

I didn't even need to see it to know it was bad. And this got a sequel and TV series!?

I’ve only seen Cinemasin’s video on Boss Baby but yeah I’m not investing any time into watching that, not even with friends to drink and laugh about it.

Wallace and Gromit Curse of the Were Rabbit (ok so it's technically Aardman),

I LOVED that movie as a child.

I think that movie was the reason I started liking cheese.

I've seen it multiple times

It's certainly pretty bad but I wouldn't call it garbage... just uninspired. The premise is actually kinda neat but they just do nothing with it and the plot is just agonizingly bad

I was babysitting my nephew one time and he had the TV show on for a few hours.

The premise alone is extremely dumb to me.

 

[Hat N' Clogs]

I decided to create an FMA Fighting Game Roster. Here are the results:

The only thing I know about the Boss Baby Is that for some reason there was a trend on the internet about calling the Boss Baby.

And the Pyrocynical video about It.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

I've came across folks on the internet calling Boss Baby baby Trump.

 

[SneakyLink]

Boss Baby reminds me of that one Codename Kids Next Door episode where a CEO that looks like a baby tricks the main cast into using their satellite to create a device to turn everyone into babies.

Still sounds better than Boss Baby.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Wouldn't be the internet if people weren't acting superior over literal children because of the shows made for literal children I guess

 

[Wario Bros.]

I have acquired the Pokémon cereal.

Will have a bowl soon.

KND, now that was a really fun show.

I always liked Father's voice and how he sounded half scary and half funny.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

I remember watching KND a few times when I was younger. Wasn't exactly into it but still certainly was a fun show.

wait, are you referring to me? or am I reading this sentence wrong?

 

[Deleted member]

Nah, I don't think she was referring to you.

It is true doh that most of the stuff people do on the internet is complain about everything, lol.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Think she's referring to all of us regarding our thoughts on Boss Baby, Bee Movie, and Shark Tale.

Biggest standouts when it comes to cartoons I watched as a kid for me would have to be Phineas and Ferb and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends.

For my teen years, Regular Show was my jam. I love that show so dang much, lol.

My childhood animated shows were easily Pretty Cure, Sargent Keroro, Justice League, Spectacular Spider-Man, Bakugan, all the Ben 10 shows before the reboot and Pitchy Pitchy Pitchy. Among many other stuff.

From my teen years the highlights were easily Regular Show, Futurama reruns, Adventure Time and Gravity Falls.

 

[TheMightyP]

Finn is trending in Twitter because of how dirty he was done in Star Wars.


****ing Rian Johnson.

For me as a child. It was Angry Beavers, CatDog, Godzilla: The Series, Beast Wars, 1987's & 2003's TMNT, Batman: The Animated Series, and Street Sharks.

Regular Show along with Courage the Cowardly Dog is also my favorite Cartoon Network shows.

xD I just saw the Cinemasins video for it (I do that when I don't want to watch something or even play something by some other guy's parody), and I was just cringing at it. I didn't understand why that crap got the awful TV show and unjustified sequel. Honestly, after knowing that Dreamworks made Materpieces like Prince of Egypt, Kung Fu Panda, the first Shrek and HTTYD...it's even more apparent that they're creatively bankrupt these days.

That's what I wonder too. How is it you go from The Prince of Egypt and HTTYD to that!?

I still don't know if nowadays DreamWorks is still better than Illumination.

Each time I ask myself which studio I would have given the Mario movie to I am tempted to say DreamWorks but then I get locked thinking about how they made Boss Baby and Trolls World Tour.

I found this on twitter and it’s irrationally funny to me

korone do be thinking dou

There’s too many shows to count, man.

ATLA, Gumball, Regular Show, Fosters, Chowder, Adventure Time, Samurai Jack, PPG, The Pokémon anime, Phineas and Ferb, Sgt. Frog, Wander over Yonder, Gravity Falls.

I watched a lot of TV as a kid.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

When it comes to sequels, that's probably the only good thing DreamWorks has left now.

The Croods: A New Age seems...Decent I gotta say. I didn't mind the first film.

You haven’t lived if you haven’t watched the original Pokemon anime or the Digimon anime in some form

Oh yeah, Chowder was really good too.

...It's honestly an embarrassment for the animation industry. >_> And I feel that freaking baby movie is mainly there to appeal to people with a certain disturbing fetish. That's what it seems to be, it's just gross.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

If we talk about cartoons today. IMO Rick & Morty and Hilda definitely holds up in that high regard. I'd mention Castlevania too but that's probably more anime than cartoon.

Gonna get around to watching Onyx Equinox soon enough which I look forward to being the mythology fan I am and especially its setting being Aztec/Mayan.

I don’t remember watching many traditional more american cartoons(the comedy of stuff like Bugs Bunny never really appealled to me) but gee golly I watched way too much anime for my age.

Fairy Tale, Dragonmaid, Sword Art Online, Yugioh Pokemon, Digimon, etc the list goes on and on

It was even technically how I got into my crippling card game addiction!

I've started watching Hilda recently and I'm quite liking It.

 

[Wademan94]

I personally don’t believe that entertainment made to be enjoyed ONLY by kids is a good thing for kids. Yes children can be easily entertained but most children aren’t stupid. I think most children know when they are being talked down to and know when they are missing out on the fun. (I say most because I was not one of them)

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Just wait until you get to Season 2. It becomes even more fun. You won't be disappointed.

 

[TheMightyP]

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick & Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick's existential catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them.
And yes, by the way, i DO have a Rick & Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid
