More info is required.

>Would you want your cartoon done by Nelvana?

Only if there were literally no other option for getting it made. And even then I might be tempted to let it go unmade

They never did do the Doctor Who cartoon.

Biggest contribution to Sup Forums, as in Nelvana stuff that keeps getting reposted, would be "Rock & Rule" or "The Care Bears."

Rock & Rule and Raccoons.

The Devil and Daniel Mouse?

The demo version of Rock & Rule, yes.

Honesty, I think Nelvana is only being kept alive because of to who its owner is. Seems to me that the entire animation industry in Toronto is a bit out of touch and is being left in the dust as the better animation talent migrates to places like Vancouver. Yet Toronto studios are the ones that are getting their shows made because of how close they all are to the networks. And people wonder why Canadian cartoons suck.

NELVANA DID THAT??

I can't remember the specifics, but there's a lot of little bits of Canadian stuff sprinkled around the episodes. Possibly related, consider the VA for Lorne The Friend For Life

read the thread or shut up, boco

Interesting idea. I can see where they're trying to go with the art, but the animation quality is cutting corners everywhere. I hope this was just an audition and not an award-winner.

Oneyplays mentioned them.

Droids is supremely underrated IMO.

What would you do for a Klondike bar?

No, Canadian cartoons are trash.

EWOKS.

I WANT TO FUCK KNEESA

Honestly forgot Nelvana existed

I'm a big fan of the Nelvana Pippi Longstocking film from '97. Despite its faults, it's always an enjoyable watch for me.

Lighthearted fun and adventure. The stuff kid-me loved.

Animation could be hit-or-miss. Some shots felt weird and janky, but others felt really professionally done.

Liked the bright color palette used in the film.

Wish they'd release it on blu-ray.

This is pretty great.

What the fuck is wrong with the autists ITT?

Everyone knows that Nelvana's magnum opus is Detentionaire, this is not even in question.

Though admittedly the Pippi series is a decent runner-up. (Not the movie, which is much worse!)

It has a lot of childish writing, true, but unlike in many other cartoons you can feel the writers seriously cared about the show.

You literally have it backwards. Canadian animation studios have traditionally been completely separate from the networks in comparison to American ones. It's only in the last little while that a small number of them have become "in-house" due to mergers in broadcasting (basically just Nelvana and DHX).

It's actually a really shitty situation because it all but ensures that many cartoons will remain lost media indefinitely, since the networks don't generally have DVD rights.

Wot?

RIP, John Candy 2.0.

The CRTC and all the stuff affiliated with our basic national media is a fucking joke.. it needs a good gutting and revamp as of like, 15 years ago.

The CRTC was the only reason there even used to be an industry, and the libertarian "regulations" used now almost entirely account for the decline in the first place.

Always remember: there is no such thing as a free market. Government is involved even in a purely hypothetical perfectly competitive market

>Not being Canadian enough to know that Sam wants you to shop at Leon's

I pity you. youtube.com/watch?v=wNuiDWEr0pg

>The CRTC was the only reason there even used to be an industry, and the libertarian "regulations" used now almost entirely account for the decline in the first place.

This.

Although he is still right. The CRTC is full of ex Bell and Rogers executives who are responsible for the conglomeration of media and all it's negative effects.

The CRTC has always been full of past media execs. It's just that they used to care about more than their company's short-term profits (which were always important, don't get me wrong).

Changing ideology from US politics will do that.

I never said that they were part of the networks (or imply that Nelvana was Corus's "in-house" studio). I'm just stating that Toronto/Ontario studios like 9 Story, Guru and Fresh TV seem to have a bigger advantage in pitching and developing original shows to the networks due to their proximity compared to studios in Vancouver, Montreal or Halifax.
Either that or studios in those cities like doing service work more than pitching shows.

Those studios have advantages in pitching (besides nepotism) not because they're in Toronto, but because they all specialize in the kind of lolsorandom crap the networks look for nowadays.

>younger and more annoying Korra
Oh, boy

The Get Along Gang...'s pilot. I really loved the animation in that and was a bit sadden to see they only did the pilot and not the rest of the show. youtube.com/watch?v=r1HH6ZLIwd4&t=4s&index=9&list=WL

This is what happens when you prioritize acquiring foreign content over developing domestic content. Makes me glad that the government is forcing the CRTC to go back on their decision to allow the networks to cut spending on Cancon down to 5% of their revenue. I mean, what fucking country's industry spends that little on their own product?

Nothing is gonna change fundamentally with a percentage increase in Canadian content contributions, not when something as fundamental as genre protection has been thrown out (and nobody is even discussing it). Not to mention the mergers that have been allowed over the years, undoing those is now considered socialism.

Plus basically anything the current government does with the CRTC is moot, when the Conservatives win next time (likely in the next election despite the polls) they will almost certainly abolish it.

Sounds awful.

It's not. It gets better and better until season 4, which is up there with some of the greatest cartoon seasons ever.

Well, we shall see. Especially with the Heritage Ministry's long-awaited decision on the fate of Cancon just around the corner.

I don't think you understood my post at all. But OK, I guess.
