So, Aaron Springer ended up voicing Billy after all? Cool.
Easton Rivera
springer i can get behind. those others though..

This is premiering in less than a month. When can we expect a promo with some actual footage?

do kids shows have a quota for having a female and minority friend

Zeke is a white goth.

>waits less than a month before the premiere to finally say something >premieres the show on a Saturday morning at SEVEN/SIX IN THE MORNING >while premiering the show at a shitty time, all of the first TEN episodes get thrown up on the shitty Disney XD app I think as production went on, Disney started losing faith in Billy Dilley and is now just actively trying to kill it off before the show even gets a sliver of a chance to prove itself.
I knew giving Aaron Springer his first series would have some kinda catch to it.
Jose Russell
That looks fucking disgusting.
Noah Allen
>tfw we lost WOY for this
Matthew Diaz

Looks like we got ourselves some actual footage, guys. I'm excited for Aaron Springer, but I'm still very hesitant about this premise. Korgoth and Periwinkle and even Baloobaloob seemed like more promising ideas.
Christopher Wood
I dig that intro music.
John Adams
>must work together to repair his Science fair project, "The Cheeserator," in order to get back to the earth's surface When the show was first announced back in March 2016, I wasn't really sure how the premise could work in an ongoing series format.
I'm still just as confused.
Ayden Martin
Love the theme song, but WHY did Springer go out of his way to make the protagonist so visually grotesque and unappealing? Billy Dilley himself is probably gonna turn people away, similar to what happened with Uncle Grandpa and Clarence.
Ian Wood
>implying Wander Over Yonder was good
Samuel Barnes
>The first 10 episodes of the series
So they're going to bomb the episodes and kill the show off in its first season. Great.
Juan Jenkins
>implying Wander Over Yonder was bad
Easton Garcia
Don't need to worry about a trailing premise when your show's only gonna last a season thanks to Disney's shitty treatment
Colton Sullivan
they did the same multiple airings thing to the episodes of star vs that premiered last february: tv premiers are more a formality for the app more than anything else
Juan James
With all the hype Disney's been making for the DuckTales Reboot (which, understandably, should be a guaranteed success), it's kinda sad to see how they're just trying to hide Billy Dilley under a rug
Wyatt Harris
>traditional hand-drawn animation Nice. I thought Disney completely gave into having all of their cartoons animated in Flash/Toon Boom.
Blake Thomas
I hope those aren't the actual opening credits. I can't stand intros that just lazily tie together footage from various episodes and call it a day.
Easton Anderson
Merriwether Williams (angry beavers, classic spongebob (nearly all of Springer's classic spongebob episodes were outlined by her), camp lazlo, early adventure time, small horses, pig goat banana cricket) Robertryan Cory (spongebob, secret mountain fort awesome, gravity falls)
Julian Campbell
I see it's the spiritual successor to Uncle Grandpa. I loved UG, so good.
Luke Barnes
This. You've got good taste, user.
How much longer does CN plan to hold back the final episodes?
Aaron Jackson
Looks like Marsha might be both the female friend AND the POC friend.
Adam Cox
Sometime this summer, New episodes on the app Friday.
Joshua King
It's already been canned. For months.
Ryder Evans
Source that shit, user.
Joseph Roberts
Getting real tired of this fat hideous main character trend
Josiah Harris
>Aaron Springer's Samurai Jack episodes (all with Chris Reccardi) Jack and the Dragon Jack Is Naked Chicken Jack Jack and the Annoying Creature Jack and the Haunted House Samurai vs. Samurai Jack vs. Aku
Levi Hall
I don't mind fat main characters; I'm just pissed about how ugly they made Billy Dilley, specifically. Zeke and Marsha have pretty cool designs, though.
Brody Lee
Now that I know the show's coming much sooner than expected, I'm gonna binge all of Aaron Springer's Mickey Mouse shorts that he wrote/boarded to get a sense of whether he's still got good comedic timing or not.
Robert Reyes
Yeah, the other designs look fine, and they pushed Billy too far imo. Ugly or fat would be fine, but having both just makes it visually unappealing instead of interesting
Jordan Stewart
It's a business strategy to see what happens with On Demand ratings, since it became successful for Star. TV ratings and scheduling don't mean shit to Disney since they know that the majority of folks with a Nielsen box avoids the channel after Gravity Falls left.
Juan Hernandez
the only reason why you're hopes would come true is because the timing numbers are still at the corner of one of the shots (billy sliding on his face, right before the shot with Zeke falling)
>it's another "cartoonist thinks they're being subversive and witty by making their main character completely aesthetically unappealing" series >it's another "child "genius" who fucks everything up constantly" series >it's another "CHEESERATOR lel so randum XD" series
this one should stay underground
Yeah Aaron Springer's made some good shit but this is not giving me good vibes at all. I guess if it ends up being good I'll eat my hat, but for the other anons here, what about this is appealing to you? Because I don't get it.
Hunter Evans
It gives us a harmless cartoon that doesn't try to be outside of being a cartoon.
Ethan Baker
we're a bunch of autist toonzone-ites
Nathaniel Robinson
Thanks, broseph

I can't think of a recent kid show that doesn't, come to think of it

Zeke reminds me of Hoagie from Day of the Tentacle and Marsha reminds me of Toon Starfire from the TTG! ep squash and stretch
Elijah Butler
That's all I got. There was much more than this though
Camden Watson
oh shit he did Potatoland

Colton Powell
It worked for Samurai Jack
Luis Martinez
it's not a recent trend at all
Joshua Parker
It looks like really bad british cartoons from 80's
Colton Hughes
>that unforgotten comma Based Springer.
Landon Hughes
I'm cautiously hype
Blake Morgan
>implying Beano isn't the fucking shit
Brandon Watson
Daily reminder that this was actually pretty kino.
Charles Ward
Don't forget that both Band Geeks AND House Fancy were from Aaron himself
How do we save this show from Disney ,since they will be busy promoting Ducktales and Big Hero 6 and no giving attention to Billy?
Grayson Davis
We can't. The show was doomed from BEFOREthe start thanks to Billy's hideous design. Here's hoping that Aaron Springer is able to share some of his early development drawings so we can see if there was ever a moment when the main character was actually intended to look even remotely appealing.
Chase Martinez
I am looking forward to this show.
Does Billy remind anyone of the fat kid from those Farside comics?
Will Marsha turn out to be popular? Her art style (especially that fused eye thing) kind of reminds me of something else, but I can't place my finger on what.
>implying anyone gave a shit about Memeder Over Memeder until they shoved a green mary sue into it
Mason Martinez
The desings of the goth and the black chick really reminds me of one desing that was used many years ago. I can't remember it.
Of course ducktales will overshadow this show, this needs to survive to at least to get some lewds.
Brandon Kelly
It probably won't since they're dumping 10 episodes in a single day. That's at least half the season.
Adrian Cooper
>Does Billy remind anyone of the fat kid from those Farside comics? Craig McCraken (when talking about Springer's WOY episode The Helper) DID describe Springer's art as "Gary Larson meets Moebius"
Jordan Thomas
10 episodes as in 10 pairs (roughly half of a 20-22 episode season) or 10 episodes as in 10 11 minute segments (roughly half of a 13 half hour season, but only a quarter of a 20-22 episode season)??
Parker Jones
>10 episodes on single day >on their webpage FUCK U C K
f
Alexander Howard
Funny enough, Springer's previous pilots have all had attractive waifus. But based on this show's premise involving three kids encountering all kinds of wacky subterranean creatures, Marsha might be the only potential r34 material.
You win, pedos.
Lincoln Powell
I'm betting on just ten 11-minute segments.
Disney can't be THAT cruel, right??
Wyatt Cook

Lincoln Robinson
I really like the new Mickey Mouse shorts, but I absolutely hate this title and character...

>>The guy who wrote Dunces and Dragons >>not hyped
Why would you ever be hyped for that?
William Rodriguez
WHAT THE FUCK DOES BILLY SOUND LIKE?!
Luis Watson
I looked at Zeus's storyboards: only the Zartran was good, though they might be better in motion AND Zeus's UG episodes tend to be on the weaker side, so it doesn't necessarily reflect the quality of the other boarders
Noah Clark
>only the Zartran was good Agreed. I don't even understand the point of the Hag Witch love potion episode.
