I will actively go out of my way to reccommend stuff like Rocko's Modern Life or Daria to anyone who tries to convince me that anything Disney puts on the screen is not an enourmous mountain of vile horseshit.

OT: My little sister liked HSM until I showed her Invader Zim now she wont touch Disney with a 10foot pole.
I think this says it all. The new Pokemon cartoons have ditched this theme, which is pretty shit.are.you.the.god.its.me.vader said:
I have seen glimpses of these non-cartoon Disney shows and am noticing a theme. The main character being that shows epitome of 'feeling individual' (i.e; the only person in that universe able to think and feel freely), the token moron and, parental figures with serious mental and/or social issues. So, it's basically the same as what it's always been as far as I can remember. Really I think it's just readying kids for how bad TV for older people is e.e
I used to watch All That and, Kenan and Kel. I now only watch the news, adult swim and, the comedic news on Comedy Central...Aaaand the comedy central cartoons...it's really not as much TV as that but it's still significantly less than before. In ten-twenty years the Disney programming will be just as bad as it is now and as it was then. Hopefully there will be some decent cartoons though

I don't know... that dancing elephants bit in Dumbo looked like how I'm told an acid trip looks like.
Don't really know about the other two though.
But I DO know that Disney has put up racial propaganda before. There was one cartoon (which they have done everything in their power... and obviously failed... to hide) that depicted two female centaurs. One was white and one was black. The white one was fair, and gentle, while the black one was drenched in stereotypes and was acting like a servant to the white centaur. Umm... try googling the words "evil disney" to see what I'm talking about.
Phineas and Ferb is a great redeemer; you'll notice the humour is quite clever. Also, the kids actually like it. It destroyed some other shitty show in a vote.
My little sister watches crap like Jonas, yet she knows I love Phineas and Ferb (she loves it too) and will make sure if it's on then that is what goes on, nothing else from the Disney Channel.
That or Peppa Pig, because it makes me giggle.
You don't need to show kids crap. I didn't understand even half of Fry and Laurie when I was younger, yet I still found it hilarious.

No, but whiny little clinging complaining dipshits on the Internet on the other hand... *whistles innocently*
Well when I was a kid, I never bought games (never had much money to my name, ever, but I rented games and always rented lots, I listened to good music, The Beatles, Beastie Boys, Doobie Brothers, whatever was on the radio when I was in the car, and I never bought anything in adverts cause you know, no moneyPayJ567 said:
1. welcome to the escapist!dbungus2000 said:
2. i agree, bring back old disney with cartoons, violence and Goofy!
3. and whats with disney signing a record contract with everyone who works for them?
This is why I'm dl/buying as much nostalgic TV shows/movies from my youth as possible. Whenever my kid wants to watch TV, I'll just pop in the disc, hell, I'll even throw in commercials to make it seem realistic.
However, I have seen some really funny episodes of Chowder.
Like when they spend all of Grandma's (or whoever's in charge) money and run out of money to even budget the cartoon itself. It cuts to the actual actors in the recording studio screaming in horror as they realize they have to work for money now. Then there's a montage of them doing a carwash to raise enough funds. At the end of the episode they get the cartoon back up and running with their money but are caught anyway by Grandma.
I laughed.

Hahahahaha "the experiences of my youth are superior to the experiences of the current youth" - just consider how adult your perspective is, before ye judge 
Kids these days, eh?
I don't think childrens' programs are crap. At the very most, I think that technology is more accessible and there is more demand for more shows, so essentially children and parents need to be more selective in what they watch.
You could argue that 'back in the day' when animation was some kind of mystical art that few people knew and cartooning was srs bsness, the quality was higher because there was nothing to compare it to. But then again, there are some horrible, horrible cartoons no matter what time period you look up - so it's just a matter of perspective.
Personally, the only thing I dislike about modern day cartoons versus the older ones I watched is that the modern ones seem so angular and minimally detailed. It's just the current style I suppose, but I like my 80s/90s detail and non CGI-ness

I did watch Fillmore. It might not have been as "epic" as you make it sound, but it was a great show. Fillmore is a clear example that Disney was MUCH better with their animation than their live-action crap.Ringo007 said:
