Was the animation in old CN shows on par with current CN shows?

PPG and Dexter had extremelly limited animation, but good directors and storyboards that made it work on a beautiful way.

>>83886337
My Gym Partner's a Monkey was a work of art you philistine.

>>83886558
No, Squirrel Boy is better you babylonian.

Oh c'mon, they had aesthetically cute girls in that show.

>>83886758
By knowing composition, how to place the characters and constructing scenes to convey a lot with limited animation.

Their retro and sharp style also helped.

>>83886854
Not him, but do you have examples of good cinematography/direction in DL or PPG?

>>83886854
Is that why shows like Clarance, Adventure Time, Regular Show and Steven Universe make it look bad?

>>83887136
We're in the future ya dangus, a course it's gunna look better to your plebian eyes who notice and critique based on some minor fuck ups, but animation has come a long way since classic Scooby doo where have the episodes are recycled close up shots of character lips moving out of sync from the dialogue. Now fixing stuff and tweaking a few frames to be perfect is actually financially and technically feasible, unlike in the even very recent past.

Does anybody know what episode the animal school musical thing was?

Out of all the shows from that era you think Gym Partner was the worse?

>>83888220
I don't think it's available online, I can't find it anywhere. Apparently it can be downloaded for $1.99, but fuck that. I guess nobody cared enough to upload it

>>83886974
I don'thave the screemcaps mate, but you can check this out:

Gendy was heavenly influencied by more cinematographic cartoons, specially Doover Boys.

>>83886625
Fuck man, I even read it in the voice

>>83888402
Well it says it was "staged cinematically," but that sounds very dubious. The videos and screencaps I've seen of it suggest it's just run-of-the-mill cartoon animation.

>>83888245
It's basically a dead heat tie between Squirrel Boy and MGPAM.

If I recall correctly, that's when my younger brother was watching cartoon network and everything was going right to shit. If that was around the time shows would get hyped up like Juniper Lee and then drop off the face of the earth after so much hype every commercial break.

He stopped watching when they did live action stuff and kept showing shitty movies. He got his ass beat by mom because I remember him saying "FUCK THE FLICKS" really loud because it was on all the goddamn time.

Then again, I ended up hating things like cartoon cartoons and all that kind of stuff so my opinion doesn't matter. CN (adultswim/toonami aside) hasn't been good since they played the old fun bugs bunny/tom and jerry cartoons in the early 90's. They couldn't even play half of those cartoons nowadays.

And oh yeah, the Andre the class of 3000 or whatever that show was is probably the worst thing on around that time, forgot to mention that. I fucking love outkast, but holy shit man.

>>83889903
>disliking Class of 3000
Opinion discarded

The only ones that were much of a spectacle were Genndy and Mccracken ones, and they are gone now, so yeah.

Sad part about Squirrel boy was that it was by the guy who made Duckman, and it was nowhere near as funny as Duckman

>>83886237
Wasn't this show made by a furry couple?

>>83886237
short answer: no

long answer: the technology would not allow for them to be, but with that said I think most people could tell that 80% of the shows are far lazier even with computers to do some of the heavy lifting.
honestly though there really isn't much of a point in comparing the quality of western animation, it's all pretty lazy in one way or another, so there are very few shows with legitimately good animation.

In my opinion Gym partner's a monkey was bad and bland during the first seasons, I remember I hated it when it first aired and never wanted to watch it, but someone told me it changes tone during the later seasons so I gave it a chance since it was airing on CN in order at an hour I could see it. I was pleasantly surprised by it, but the thing is it became meta and over the top in a good way, reminded me more of I am Weasel than its own older seasons, it really didn't feel like the same show. Still it wasn't amazing, but it was much, much better.

I remember watching it. At this point I was midway through highschool when it was on and I'd catch it after class and I would chuckle. Nowhere near the best cartoon but it doesn't deserve the flack it gets, particularly the second season, where they just stopped giving a fuck and had meta-humor.

>>83892327
It had like 3 characters who were tolerable, and they were sparingly funny.
