How is it there was a 1080p Bluray Rescan of Rescue Rangers from the original negatives & nobody told me about it? are they redoing all the Disney Afternoon cartoons in HD now?
Probably, Disney isn't going to abandon the Russian waifu cult centered around Gadget.
>>90497312
Looks like they Re-scanned Goof Troop at 1080p too. here's hoping they do Gummi bears next. That or Duck Tales.
>>90497361
Is this real?
Cause you know, a good upscaling algorithm cab do that too
>>90497516
It is. I don't know if we're going to be this lucky in the future though. They re scanned the little mermaid & Timon & pumba recently too, but they cropped them to 16:9 so you lose 25% of the image on the top & bottom. If they do that to Tale Spin I'll cry.

>>90498725
What a waste of production budget. This is almost entirely fully animated on 1s and 2s, almost no limited animation or held poses.
But it's so bland and uneventful, and when there's actual animation action to do, half the time the timing and posing are completely off, and the other half they're just bland.
I'm starting to really appreciate the modern Disney and WB cartoons. Bunnicula and Wabbit are genius compared to this.
Watching this again puts all those fond childhood memories in perspective...
>>90499553
I wonder how the production of this shot went.
>I need this entire scene in full animation on 2s with no held poses by the big rat.
>Sure thing boss, what poses should we use?
>All of them.
More timing and posing problems.
Should have spent some of that budget on sheet timers and layout artists.
>>90499553
Then just post HD waifu screencaps.
Jeez, you know that's all anyone in this thread REALLY cares about.
>>90499785
I care about animation. It's the main reason I visit /co/.
I like pointing out good and bad animation.
People praise the Disney Afternoon shows, and for good reason: compared to the '80s, they had tons of animation in them. An entire show with full animation on 2s means a lot of animation, but not necessarily a lot of good animation, and I think this distinction is important.
>>90497361
>here's hoping they do Gummi bears next. That or Duck Tales.
Both of those shows would be interesting because there's more in-house animation in those. I think by the time they got to Chip and Dale they probably had at most 10% in-house animation.

>>90499553
Huh. I'd always heard that the Disney Afternoon, and really any and all 80s and 90s cartoons with animation outsourced to Asia, were mastered on video rather than film. As a result, HD conversions were impossible.
Were the Disney shows a unique situation where they were mastered on film (because Disney could afford it) or is this like the Transformers fiasco, where the production animation was done on film, but the broadcast mastering process was done on video, meaning the film negatives contained unfinished and error-riddled animation rather than the finalized version?
>>90499775
>Should have spent some of that budget on sheet timers and layout artists.
koreans don't give a fuck
>>90499925
>koreans don't give a fuck
It's funny how South Korean animation has really turned around and Japanese animation has fallen behind in the last 15 years.
It used to be that if the animation in an outsourced cartoon was either good or competent, it came from a Japanese studio, while if it looked like incomprehensible shit, you knew it was Korean. Studios like Akom and Wang and Sunwoo, just milling out garbage.
Now the best outsourced animation comes from South Korea, studios like Mir and Dong Woo and Hanho Heung-up (who used to be lousy, season 1 Swat Kats, but got their shit together, Spectacular Spider-Man). Japanese studios, on the other hand, have been inbred and assembly lined to the point where they can't produce anything but unmoving, cheek-mouthed, jagged, neon puppets.
Rise and fall of empires.
>>90499785
Here you go you disgusting degenerate.
>>90499925
It was Disney's money, though. Instead of doing 25,000 drawings per show, they could have done 20,000 drawings and spent the rest of the money on salaries for sheet timers and layout artists. They would have ended up with near-feature-film quality animation, instead of the lots-of-motion-but-no-sense that they ended up with.
>>90500111

On the other end of the spectrum is all-on-ones-but-still-looks-like-shit Kennedy Cartoons.
30million frames per episodes and oh god just STOP MOVING FOR FIVE SECONDS PLEASE I'M BEGGING YOU WHY IS EVERYONE DANCING ALL THE TIME. Luckily, I think Disney only ever used them for, like, 3 episodes of Darkwing Duck and then very quickly realized it was a mistake.
More frames doesn't automatically make for better animation (which I know was your point).
>>90500111
if it's bedroom eyes, it's never rape.

I... I don't know what to say. Did the timing sheets get lost on the way to the overseas studios?

All the """wild""" takes look Japanese as fuck.
Each episode has one or two shots that look pretty good, probably done in-house.

>>90499775
By the way this was animated by Walt Disney Japan, which supposedly took all the best crewmembers from TMS, which supposedly was the best outsourced animation studio. If that's the best of the best when they're working with the largest animation budget at the time, then they're not very good.
Honestly watching all of this expensive animation makes me really appreciate Disney's current lineup like Star vs Evil and even their shittier shows like that Daredevil kid.
HD transfers of animation intended for standard definition viewing was a mistake.
>>90500773
Definitely not. Even if the show itself is shitty, some of the art is amazing (pic not related)
>>90500761
>I'll cherrypick the bad scenes and none of the good scenes
>>90500847
All the extra details just make it look wrong to me. I imagine they knew they'd get lost in the process, which is why this weirdness doesn't happen with feature films.
>>90500682
I was about to call you out as TMSfag/Famicom, but then you criticized TMS, so now I'm proud of you, instead.
>>90500848
Dude I'm not cherry-picking. Download and watch it for yourself.
Despite each episode having a timing supervisor and three or four timing directors, the animation is janky as hell. Almost always on 2s and almost always full animation (redrawing the entire character, not just one part), but nearly never timed and posed properly.
Are they doing this with Talespin?
>>90500924
Have you watched this in 240p? This show, and all the other Disney Afternoon shows, were never meant for VHS. The linework is too thin to register properly on VHS. It's true that they cut corners for small details (pic related) but you can see the exact same thing in hand-drawn Disney feature films. It's more of a constraint due to the size of the brushes they used than anything related to the screen size and resolution.
>>90499919
I think it depends on the company. Like there's evidence that the early Cartoon Network cartoons (Dexter's Laboratory, Powerpuff Girls, etc) were mastered on film, so HD conversion would be theoretically possible. What's really unique here is that Disney is actually willing to put in the time and money to rescan their shows.

You're just nostalgic for the "classic" look...
The episode has a lot of novel human character designs.
>>90501421
I'm not the guy you've been talking to but for some reason the high def versions look more "classic" to me. I love being able to see where they painted outside the lines and stuff like that, makes it feel more real.

Better question, how long until Gargoyles in HD?
>>90501421
I dunno, I look at this, a Disney film from the same era, and it looks fine. But the television show looks wrong.
This episodes (S4E16) is the best posed and animated one. It's like they put someone who can draw in charge of facial expressions, and the timing doesn't suck, finally.
>>90501705
>>90501695
You're comparing xeroxed lines to hand-inked, and yeah the pic you posted is way better, has much finer linework, and just better-drawn and colored in general.

I'm starting season 1 now (season 4 was pretty bad, acting-, timing-, and posing-wise) and at least the first episode is a cut above. Still plenty of timing issues but the acting and posing are really good in some of the one-off characters, and the main cast is very Disney-fied in terms of animation.
You can still see the seeds of the spastic acting like in >>90499666 and >>90499775 but it's under control.
The vast majority of poses and expressions are super-mild, but that's the nature of the beast.
This is a really expensive babbies' cartoon.
S1E02 is pretty well-animated too. I wonder if it was just the initial push at the beginning of the series, because season 4 really sucked in comparison.
>>90497361
>>90497538
HD GT MEGA where?
S1E03 - I remember watching this episode as a child. Felt really strange watching this in such high quality.
The animation is still pretty much as good as it can get. Some great poses, I'm assuming the stoeyboard/layout artists still cared this early into production. Good facial expressions. Some shots are stolen directly from classic Disney theatrical cartoons, like drooling Dale in pic related.
Timing on the whole is still what you'd expect from an outsourced studio, but generally good. Some shots have surprisingly good timing, other shots have the spastic timing from season 4.
>>90503900
There were other cartoons in the 90s where the latter seasons looked worse than the earlier either because of budget cuts or because the team was stretched thin and devoting more of their attention to a newer show.
Thanks, Disney.
Tits aside, this is a really well-animated sequence, both the "TV show" and Dale who's watching it.
Most of the humans in this show are really ugly.
>>90504306
Which episode?
I had forgotten how fucking boring Gadget actually was.
I have a feeling the first two episodes had a lot of in-house production. The third episode is already showing some cracks.

The subsequent sequence of action shots returns to the usual quality.
I'm still amazed there are TV shows done entirely on twos in full animation. All that work... for a relatively forgettable show.

where did you get these? Are they on Amazon Instant or something? If there's no choice, I'll happily use the big MEGA provided, but it'd be nice to show some support in the only language Disney understands.
This show is boring and the animation has returned to being boring.
>>90505038
I'd be more inclined to believe the really good animation was done in-house at Disney, and the run-of-the-mill stuff was done at TMS. When you compare their work to Sunwoo you see it's pretty much the same - anime-esque takes, timing all over the place.
Would make more sense that the really good stuff was done in the States.
>>90504490
Supposedly, that had to do with most of the writing team having trouble understanding her character type. Tad Stones once talked in an interview about a scene where Gadget went "I'll be down in a sec, guys" and kind of belayed her way down, where some of the other staffers tried to get the scene rewritten because they thought it was out of character. He had to go "no, I made this character. I know what's in-character"

>>90499919
This one gets constantly posted, but yes, 97% of shows starting around the 80s, were mastered on video rather than film, or in some cases, mastered on film, then transfered on video, and then the film master is "discarded".
>>90505281
Even if Gadget was the most engaging character in the universe, the rest of the writing was boring enough to drown it out. Is Duck Tales like this too?
>It's heavy metal music, you're not SUPPOSED to like it.
I feel like there was a better joke there, but it got rewritten.
>>90505592
I feel like you're pulling those figures out of your ass. I feel like if this was any other thread, you'd say Disney Afternoon shows were mastered on video. Lo and behold, they were mastered on film.
Frankly outside of early CG cartoons I don't know a single show that had any reason to be mastered on video, especially since animation cels HAD to be shot on film, there was no way to transfer them directly to video tape.
>>90504238
>>90504306
Finally my obscure waifu is in HD
>>90505664
It had to do with overseas shipping. It was colossally cheaper to ship tapes across the Atlantic than film reels, hence why most studios mastered on video rather than film.
Disney had in-house studios scattered all over the globe in the late 80s and most of the 90s (Japan, France, Australia). So they could master them on film and didn't have to worry about shipping the negatives because they could be stored in their international studios.
But the film reels aren't the broadcast masters. As was mentioned earlier in this thread, the restoration process for these shows still requires certain camera work to be recreated, like fades and wipes and credits, because those were completed on the broadcast master video tapes, not the film reels.
I like this episode already

After watching the first half of season 1 which was done entirely by TMS, I can say that they are better than Walt Disney Japan.
That said, the animation in general is uninspired, so even really good uninspired animation is still uninspired.
This series of shots from episode 11 has the usual timing issues, and for reasons I don't understand, nearly all of the "wild" takes are anime-esque.
>>90506075

Of course not "entirely", the outsourced animation was done by TMS, there is still in-house animation here and there.

>>90506075
Permission to speak freely about TMS without attracting the autistic repetition of TMSfag/Famicom?
TMS was better than most of the other outsourced studios of the era, but most of the time the animation they produced was not good.
They definitely applied Japanese animation sensibilities to the American shows they worked on and the differing attitudes clashed.
I dunno about Rescue Rangers since I haven't rewatched it in forever, but recently rewatching DuckTales, I could see a lot of "blow all the budget, time and manpower on a 30 second action sequence that looks super fuckin cool, the other 21 1/2 minutes look like bland but competent meh".
That's a very Japanese way of doing things. American cartoons tend to spread the budget around, so you don't get that 30 second burst of beauty, but the characters actually move and emote evenly across the whole cartoon. TMS had a hard time trying to do the "characters emote and move all the time even when it isn't a money shot" thing and that's how we'd wind up with those weird sequences posted in this thread where the characters look like they're having fuckin seizures.
In short: TMS was better but by no means good. At least not in regards to their outsourced work on American shows. They just didn't get American animating concepts and their attempts to copy what they thought it was wound up looking ridiculous or plain ole bad.
My God, if Disney rescanned Bonkers like that, I would literally want for nothing.
I feel bad for this guy.
He invented autonomous pest-catching robots, free-energy flying carpets, and a teleporter, but he keeps using his inventions for criminal schemes instead of making mad dosh out of them legally.
>>90506099
You're thinking of the pilot episodes. the rest of the first season explicitly credits TMS. So unless there was uncredited work by the in-house staff, then I'm not buying that.
>This series of shots from episode 11 has the usual timing issues, and for reasons I don't understand, nearly all of the "wild" takes are anime-esque.
I'd assume it's because they were done by animators used to doing wild takes the anime way.

>The reason for this one is because American cartoons were mastered on video tape in the 80s and 90s rather than mastered on film.
>Because we outsourced out animation to Korea and Japan, it was monumentally cheaper to ship video tapes back and forth across the Pacific rather than film reels. So as a cost-saving measure, we started mastering cartoons on video.
>The trade-off was a loss of definition of vibrant colors. DiC cartoons from the era suffer worse on this end than any other (try watching Dennis the Menace or Heathcliff and the Catillac Cats or Inspector Gadget and you'll see what I mean).
>People often wonder why Japan can take anime done in 1985 and release it on blu ray in HD, but America can't do that with it's cartoons. That's because the Japanese didn't outsource their animation overseas (duh) so they could master everything on film. We couldn't.
>Also why if you look at the rare cartoons that were produced in the US at the time, such as Filmation shows, their DVD transfers have vibrant colors and crisp lines. No outsourcing overseas, so they mastered everything on film. The downside is the actual animation in those shows is shit, but oh well.

>>90506238
I wonder if you've re-watched Bonkers since you were a kid. I had fond, yet hazy, memories of Rescue Rangers. Now that I watch it again, the animation is great (compared to '80s cartoons) but the characters are so bland and the action is so mild that I have to wonder why I remembered it so fondly in the first place. I didn't have a crush on Gadget either.My heart belonged to Scarlett from GI Joe.
>>90505664
Just take a look at ANY cartoon from the 90s and early 2000s when all the sudden it feels like the animation gets "faster".
that's because they speed-up the footage and for a reason, it was mastered on video.

You're right, no credits. It still looks very Disney to me, maybe people were sent over to assist with the Disney style, but stopped after season 1.
>>90506297
What really
They released the second volume of season 2 years after volume 1 came out so I figure that was a favor to the fans considering volume 1's poor sales resulting in that long delay. I also remember the entire series being officially uploaded on youtube, though I haven't checked if it's still there.
>>90506352
I'm betting it was Gadget.
>>90506227
Honestly, I never got the TMS praise. Are they better than other studios, at times. But I can't say they're "The best out there". Hell, rewatching DuckTales recently, I honestly preferred the later seasons' animation over that of season 1's.
>>90506352
I never watched any of the Disney Afternoon as a kid. Having watched them in High School a decade back I'd say my favourites were Darkwing Duck, Ducktales, Talespin and Gummi Bears, Goof Troop is also pretty good but it is the most '90s of the shows. Rescue Rangers was always a bit dull for me.

>>90506385
Serious [citation needed] because I can think of very few shows that had that. Project Geeker, The Mask, and maybe Bill & Ted... from that to "97%" the road is long. And even those shows, it's entirely possible that there are original masters and broadcast masters.
>>90501695
The reason that looks fine is because Rescuers Down Under was made digitally. Digital to digital means a pretty complete preservation and no loss of quality due to the physical medium at all. you're seeing that movie EXACTLY as you remembered it.
Chip and Dale here was clearly originally film. The problem there is that once you put film through the wringer to get to VHS/Laserdisc/Betamax you inherently lose quality because the format carrying them is analogue and subject to myriad luma/chroma issues and similar. The effect only degrades further once you try and send that analogue stuff over the air and introduce interlacing artefacts. Ergo the Chip-n-Dale you remember was completely janked up to begin with but it's what youre used to.
Seeing the film-digital transfer here reveals fucking EVERYTHING and that's actually the way it was intended to be seen. It's just that until now we haven't had the technology to actually present those originals accurately.
TL:DR: thank heavens for digital.

I think TMS's work on Warner Bros cartoons was a bit better than what they did for Disney, DiC or Hasbro/Sunbow (you want to see some GARBAGE from TMS, check out Visionaries beyond the pilot episode).
TMSfar and others like him tend to have tunnelvision about their obsession and act like their best Tiny Toons work was what they always produced all the time for every studio contractor.
But to be frank, I think a lot of what made TMS look like it was hot shit came from the company it kept. Put a TMS episode next to a Kennedy Cartoons episode and yeah, they're gonna seem like they're light years ahead of the competition. Take their work objectively, however, and their work suffered from all the same production quality issues as any other first run syndication show.

marginally. But remember, TMS was often paired up with other companies like Kennedy, AKOM and Freelance. In comparison, I can see where people are coming from. On their own, you can see the flaws start to poke through.
And this is especially true on shows like Chip 'N Dale's RR. You can see weird timing issues, a lack of shading (though that's more a general issue than just specific to TMS), and a team of animators unsure how many poses characters need to have per animation.
>>90507238
That shot triggers broadcast standards and practices. Having a character aim any kind of firearm directly at the viewer became forbidden not too long after this.
First episode by Walt Disney Japan. This is way better than their season 4 work. Very close to feature film quality. I was starting to forget what facial expressions look like. I wonder if there's going to be gradual decline or if it all goes to hell immediately in season 2.

deer guns/ slugs.
shotgun hunting is very popular in europe. They have tons of exotic and really great shotgun slugs they just don't sell over here.
It's a shame because some are absolutely amazing and will shoot great out of a smooth or rifled barrel.
>>90507283
>animated poorly
Comparatively, in certain areas.
Clearly this show has tons of drawings. Almost always on 2s and always full animation.
Clearly a large number of the characters are designed with Disney principles.
Clearly some of the posing and acting is classic Disney.
But when you think of all this, and look at the end result, you see very well-animated blandness, with very frequent rough spots where poses and timing just don't work.
And then when you compare it with modern shows (the example I gave being Star vs Evil) with far smaller budgets and far less drawings and far WORSE drawings, yet they still manage to have better acting, posing, and timing (even though personally I hate the timing on Star vs Evil).
So the conclusion is that throwing money at animation doesn't make it good past a certain stage. I mean, if I had to guess, I'd say foot-for-foot, this show was more expensive to animate than classic Looney Tunes or Disney theatrical shorts. But it's nowhere near as inventive, clever, lively, funny, touching, etc.
The big reason is time constraints - making 200-400 minutes of animation a year gives you far less time to work than 20-40 minutes of animation a year.
Another reason is just the crew not caring.
Wasn't there supposed to be a Rescue Rangers movie? What happened to that?

>>90507676
>Wasn't there supposed to be a Rescue Rangers movie? What happened to that?
DuckTales: The Movie underperformed so they canned their Disney Afternoon feature films with the exception of the Goof Troop movie that became A Goofy Movie and was not advertised as being based off the TV series.
The Rescue Rangers comic from Boom Studios from a few years back supposedly based it's opening arc on the unproduced movie script. It wasn't very good.
>>90506118
I'd hesitate to even call Gummi Bears a Disney Afternoon show, since it was really just a Saturday morning cartoon that happened to reach the syndication requirement right as the block premiered. It only spent a year on the block, compared to the five years it ran on Saturday mornings.
>It never hurts to be prepared
Another joke that got rewritten? Doesn't match the animation at all.
>>90507836
Err I meant the live action/3D one. I remembering hearing about it a couple of years ago.
>>90507823
>what the fuck
All of Disney's syndicated cartoons at the time premiered with a movie that was cut up into 5 episodes later. Rescue Rangers just got its a bit later, because it wasn't originally meant for syndication. Disney just saw the success of Ducktales and quickly switched Rescue Rangers' format.
It's also worth noting that Aladdin: The Animated Series originally wanted to do this, but Disney decided it was good enough to bill as a sequel to the movie. That's what single-handedly started the era of cheap sequels.
>>90507676
>>90508082
It probably got forgotten or shelved
I don't think I can subject myself to two more seasons of this right now. Anyway the show is consistently bland and forgettable.
Good job Disney.
Gadget might be the cause for my Wrench Wench fetish. Not that I'm complaining.
webm requests?
>>90499666
It's like have the entire animation done by inbetweeners with no keyframes.
It's the Zelda CDI thing, inexperienced animators feeling that good animation comes from constant movement.
>>90508586
>webm requests?
Red dress Gadget from Double-O Chipmunk?
>>90508605
Plenty of keys there. What it lacks is:
- held poses
- timing, which includes:
-- settle
-- follow-through
- but most importantly, the understanding that animation is acting, and the way the character moves needs to reflect what the character is thinking, feeling, trying to express, trying to hide, and so on.
Otherwise you end up with Power Rangers that just move their head and their arms when they talk to signify that they're talking.

>>90511372
The problem isn't the info. For all we know, it might be true. It might not be. That's ultimately irrelevant in the greater scheme of things. We know Japanese studios outsource to other companies, that's how it always has been. And it's not like TMS hasn't contracted their American animation projects elsewhere either.
The problem is that you're parading this shit around like a banner nearly every time we try to get into a serious animation critique. It's because of you we can barely mention ANY animation studio (domestic or foreign) without the sight of "TMS did nothing wrong! It was Magic Bus/Tokyo Kids/[insert other Japanese sub-contracting studio here]!" or bullshit like "Studio Mir sucks because they ruined animation!" Or even talk about animation quality in general.
The fact you never invaded the Spider-Man thread I mentioned was a blessing in my eyes. Because I was dead certain you'd come along and start shifting the blame to the Koreans almost instantly.

>>90506240
He's actually tried to profit legitimately on occasion, but it always goes sour. The episode with the prune-powered aging ray comes to mind, and he mentioned that the power company laughed in his face when he pitched using static electricity from cats as a cheap power source.
>>90509339

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDYei1R3Ojk
>>90512398
Because different mythologies and origins.
Mir was formed by animators who worked on the first Avatar series, and brought that style over when they formed the studio.
Rough Draft was established by animators who worked on shows like Garfield and Friends and R&S. In fact, the Korean studio was established because of R&S. Also, Orange is a sub-contract studio, how the fuck do you know their work is good when they're literally fucking piecemeal to the production?
You're comparing apples to oranges, Famicom. Please stop.
>>90504163
this fuggin episode, man. Probably why Dale ended up being my favorite character
>>90509216
I forgot she was the impetus for giving Dale a chance to be a spy. Gadget's pretty bro-tier
>>90512754
Okay three things:
1. If the reason the formed Orange was because animation was "becoming flat and bland". Then why not just leave the industry then? Huh?
2. Orange's CG studio was established by former members of Satelight's staff.
3. Where did you get this bit of information?
>>90512405
>it's basically the only episode that indicates Gadget's actually aware that she's attractive
She keeps getting macked on by Chip and Dale, particularly in the first season. They keep trying to kiss her and grope her. I'm sure she knows. She just wants to have an incestuous threesome but doesn't know how to go about bringing it up.
By the way are Chip and Dale related?
I want the comics to continue.
Considering that Chip and Dale: Rescue Rangers have cropped 1080p reruns in the South East Asia, not surprised.
(Still waiting for them to rerun DuckTales though.)

I don't remember too much about the rescue rangers ending but in the case of Darkwing there was a poorly planned crossover with the Ducktales gang along with the artist shutting out of the writer and just making up shit as he went.
>>90514739
>with the artist shutting out of the writer and just making up shit as he went.
How does this even happen? How did the artist get the authority to do that?
>>90513743
I always assumed whoever made this just really liked Brittany Diggers
>>90514739
That crossover was retconned and pretty much declared non-canon when the collection was released, with a different ending.
>>90514791
Writer turns in a script, artist just submits his own pages instead and refuses to change them.
>>90509480
i like the pencil scratches better. disney please dont "super 2x sai" everything
>>90514791
I don't recall the exact scenario but I think >>90515259 was about right
>>90515259
But that's breach of contract. They could probably refuse to pay them and bring a new artist on in their place.
What would possess them to hijack the comic like that?
>>90509480
It still hurts.
>>90515844
The publisher says "We don't see a problem with these changes" and believe that letting the artist have his way is preferable to delaying the comic by who knows how long so the writer's script can be penciled, inked colored, lettered, and so on when they can just do that with the pencils that have already been turned in.
>>90513108
I couldn't care less about Foxglove or anything else from the comic; I just want more Gadget and Stalker Mouse.

>March 15, 2009, 13 people took to the streets of Nizhny Novgorod with torches and a banner with the image of the mouse dressed in blue overalls. It was spring-like chill, still lay in drifts. But the marchers rotten weather is not worried.
Those marching were lit up, and led the move as long as a post, a bearded man and did reminded of Moses carrying the Jewish table. Rounded the Novgorod Kremlin. We stopped at the castle wall. “Thank Gadget for a reason to come, I will tell posterity!” – Solemnly promised to a girl in a striped scarf. “Comrades, we are going to the city at night and have a light, just as it is Gadget Radiant, in Latin – Lyutsiferiya. Give us, Gadget, a bit like you! Touch us your invisible hand of the gold! “- Said in a singsong voice guy in an unbuttoned jacket. “On the torch can heat your nose …” – muttered skeptic, which is not warmed love. Then there were fireworks. Already in the apartment put a candle in a small home-made icons, cut the cake. So followers of the Gadget cult celebrated the religious holiday. Her birthday.

>Gaykoslavie – a young religion, which exists mainly on the Internet. During its formation followed by thousands of users (at least read the group “The Cult Gadget Radiant” in “VKontakte”), but the true believers of all people 40.

But gaykoslavy when viewing experience catharsis. I feel the touch, or enlightenment … In general, they stoop so that words can not explain. After this middle-aged and seems very intelligent people are beginning to write about the Gadget with the capital letters (Her bright image, etc.), shouting “Ave Gadget!”, Trying to come up with the mouse on the link. “If life is ideal, there is a meaning to live and look … Gadget, where are you? How do I find you? “- misses Alexander-electronics. Early Gadget adepts allegedly designed the portal to go into another dimension, where the Gadget, and then calculated the coordinates of its appearance in our world. The idea was that the Gadget, as a brilliant designer, sooner or later teleported herself. No waiting.

An HD version of SpongeBob's first season is available on itunes and Amazon Prime. Unfortunately, season 2 is when they started animating the series digitally and they didn't start producing it in HD until season 9.
Ren and Stimpy has a mixture of episodes animated on film and digitally animated.
Another question is whether or not these companies still have the original films for their shows. Disney is actually really good at keeping their shit sorted out so them having the films for their shows isn't surprising. But we don't really know whether Nickelodeon bothered to keep their material or if they threw some of them out when the final episode was mastered on tape. I believe some shows also had effects added to them after being transferred to tape meaning a new HD transfer would have to recreate those.
>>90520872
On the adding effects. Look at this scene from a Ren and Stimpy episode.

>>90520984
Ah good ol 60i-fps over 24fps animation, yeah didnt look too bad, but sadly in hindsight, this was the price to pay, not being able to give these shows a proper remaster, heck in the early to mid 2000s, their idea of "remastering" was just bleach out the picture and put filters over it!.
by contrast, how many anime shows had recent HD remasters, the oldest i can think of is Mazinger Z

I had a moment of inspiration today, working on an animated short, trying to emulate old 80's cartoons (specifically TinyToons, TMS style), I now realize I've been working in the (slightly) wrong resolution.

Would it be possible to make Ren & Stimpy look this good?
>>90523444
Yes, due to season 2 being shot the same way as The Rescuers Down Under.
hold a sec, doesn't digital animation means it cannot be rendered on HD? since per example, digi-anime like Digimon, the Dr.Slump remake from the 90s, one piece and such were animated on digital, but were done on SD 480i, meaning that an HD version is just impossible, aside form garbage filtered up-scales but whats the point then?
>>90523567
Alot of shows including seasons 14-17 of The Simpsons were reshot, recolored and sometimes reanimated (in case the original drawings were sold off as is the case from time to time) in HD to be rendered in HD.
Season 13 and the season 14 holdovers of The Simpsons were from 35MM film masters.
>>90522483

>>90523567
Not i, p. Interlaced is just the final product, but no one animates on fields, only frames. Only live action can be captured as interlaced from the beginning. Animation is always done with frames, and maybe interlaced on export. When something was coloured for TV export only, it was SD but progressive.
And both with NTSC and PAL, original 24p can be recovered (as long as it wasn't NTSC>PAL conversion or in reverse).
The inevitable fate of all Disney animations released on Blu-Ray.

Welp, the american footage was initially shot on film, but then transferred to digi betas, and then the addition of the transitions, wipes, color effects done on video, the occassional speed up, and of course the Sentai footage taken from betamaxes in already downgraded quality.
Trying to bring MMPR to HD would basically be, remaking the damn show from scratch again!, granted the sentais in japan were already restored but the rest is still a task they would not even think about it.
>>90524127
If Toei Japan had film stock of this that will be grand.
It's just that I'm not into sentai very much.
>>90523567
The second volume of the HD CDRR release is in SD size, but in HD quality. Essentially, it's 640x480 but with 1080p clarity. There are benefits to rescanning even the natively small formatted shows.
Gadget better not awaken anything in me
What do some of you guys mean by timing? What does "animated on 2s" mean?

Firstly, if you rescan a low resolution image at 1080, it will look like pixelated crap. Upscaling is actually a way better option.
Secondly, NTSC SD is never 640x480. It's 720x480, but the pixels are NOT supposed to be square, giving you the end result of 4:3 on a CRT. No one predicted the rise of flat screen progressive monitors anytime soon when analog television was developed. DVDs were designed to display on CRTs first, because that was the standard. When displaying a DVD footage on a modern square pixel screen, the image looks squashed. You need to stretch the pixels vertically a little to make the aspect ration the intended 4:3.
TL;DR stop believing NTSC is 640x480. It's not, it is really 720x480.
>>90524435
a frame every 2 seconds.
Dear God
Grumpy cutie
I'd
>>90524435
That means the animation is 12 frames per second.
>>90499827
>An entire show with full animation on 2s means a lot of animation, but not necessarily a lot of good animation, and I think this distinction is important.
I don't think TV animators entirely knew how to approach full animation in 1989. They hadn't been producing anything like it in decades—many had never worked in features.
The result was often ugly characters moving spastically. At the time it was a revelation, but when you look at the work of twelve years later...
>>90524467
That's not what I said. The file has the quality of a 1080p film, but in a 480 frame.
I think that they made a mistake when preparing the show for digital release. Instead of rendering the video in 1080, it was saved in 640x480 by mistake. However, the clarity remained because of the codecs involved. It could also be that it was accidentally released as only SD and they haven't been able to fix it.
And I know about NTSC formatting. Rescans need to be done in proper 4:3 in order to prevent the image from appearing squished on the new systems that display square pixels. They also don't need to be 29.97 fps which practically eliminates interlacing and ghosting seen with VHS and DVD releases. Although I have encountered a scene in Double O' Chipmunks where ghosting can be seen while Gadget is clearing the smoke from the HQ. I can't explain how that happened aside from a rendering fluke since I never saw it in any other episode.
>no chimpunks reedit.
>>90508149
This explains a lot but at least the return of Jafar was decent
>>90503649
>This is a really expensive babbies' cartoon.
No kidding. While it was relatively impressive at the time, it has voices that literally sound like circus clowns, and that especially ugly art style endemic to 1970s-1980s Disney Donald and Mickey projects, where it tries to force cuteness by adding tufts of hair, droopy eyelids and comedy buckteeth to half the characters, with the result that they're kind of viscerally disgusting.
Dale's usual girlfriend here is supposed to be a bat, but the combination of her color, anatomy, and nose makes her look almost like a dinosaur.
Someone at Disney clearly thought kids really wanted this style. It's both boring and ugly.
>>90524855
Man... I miss hand-drawn animation. CG is getting better all the time, but it's just not the same.
>>90524978
Only the Sunwoo, A1 Hanho Heung-Up and Jade (the later 2 through Disney Japan) episodes looked like ugly 1970s-1980s Disney Donald and Mickey projects, Wang & Disney Japan/Tama Pro were far away from it as you can get when TMS was matching up to the likes of Laputa and Little Nemo.
>>90524978
The colors looked better in the old transfers.
>>90507823
They are actually a reference to "Lady and the Tramp" Siamese cats.
>>90508468
I didn't knew tropes and fetishes are interchangeable terms
>>90508149
Gummi Bears and Wuzzles only had single-part first episodes. Ducktales, Rescue Rangers, and Talespin went five-parter, Darkwing Duck shrunk it down to two-parter, and the only other multi-part first episode in Disney Afternoon was five parts for Gargoyles.
>>90503649
I used to babysit my sisters when they were still babies; I know what a baby cartoon is. This is just a rather simple cartoon for all ages. Perhaps children can appreciate it more.
And perhaps you have way too high standards.
>>90522483
where can i read the comics?
>>90504490
Like >>90505281 said, they didn't really know what to do with her most of the time. On the other hand, those episodes where they did are the ones that people remember best and is why she's so fondly remember.
Like the Cola Cult episode, TRASH THE BRAT, Gadget Goes Hawaiian, and the one with her helping that superstitious inventor; the latter one in particular relies entirely on her.
>>90522483
If you want discussion, it's not a bad idea to dump a comic now and then.
Finally people caught on the issue of why cartoons don't get remasters.
>>90526370
But this thread proves that they do
Picking up at S2E03, this episode by Wang and Cuckoo is animated better than most TMS episodes.
Still uneventful and uninspired.
S2E04 - is this supposed to be a Bruce Willis caricature?
I hate how the Rescue Rangers keep stealing food and breaking into people's kitchens like actual pests. Kinda hard to treat them as the good guys when they steal and burgle.
For the waifufags. The proportions here make her look like a bobblehead.
I hate this teeth-are-part-of-the-lips character design, I wonder where it comes from. I think this is the earliest instance of it I can remember.
S2E05 - I wonder what's the value of gold in the Chip & Dale universe. There's probably more than a literal ton of gold there, which could set up a person nicely.
S2E06 - obscure waifu time
More Asian stereotypes. I get the feeling the head writer didn't like Asians very much.
>>90499472
That she has a mouse tail.
>>90526619
Or it was the 80s and they just didn't care much one way or the other.
quality control took a nosedive in this episode. There are great-looking shots like pic-related and other shots look rushed.
>>90526651
Then why only Asian stereotypes, and why so many of them? No black. Jewish, or other stereotypes.
S2E07 - holy shit a funny drawing. Chalk one up for this show.
>>90526673
Asian special interest groups aren't nearly as noisy as black and jewish special interest groups.
I really wish that fly would hurry up and die
>>90526694
>>90526651
Either they didn't care, or they did care and chose a quiet group. Can't have it both ways.
Anyway I get the feeling this show had a book of pre-approved jokes (getting paint on someone, getting flattened like a disc, Dale cock-blocking Chip, Gadget wearing suction cup stilts, Asians with a funny accent and broken English, and so on) and the writers had no choice but to re-use them because new jokes had an excruciatingly long approval process.
I just noticed this episode is in 480p. Hmm.
Apparently all of season 2 is in 640x480 23.97fps
S2E08 - nice shot of Gadget here
I think this is Gadget at her tittiest
Yup she's more stacked than usual in this episode.
>>90526819
This episode also has more original expressions than usual.
>>90526831
This is a held pose by the way, not an inbetween.
>>90526673
>Then why only Asian stereotypes
Probably because Japan was crushing us in manufacturing at the time. Detroit especially blamed Japan, Inc. for their inability to make cars that weren't shit.
And the rest of east Asia just got lumped in with them.
They're really giving her a lot of things to squeeze against in this episode. Keep in mind that Chip and Dale have larger breasts than her in most other episodes.
S2E09 - nothing remarkable about this episode. Gadget is back to her regular proportions.
S2E10 - Someone mentioned the Cola episode? More Asian stereotypes, what a surprise.
>>90526827
>>90527025
Turns out they were cultists, not Asians.
S2E11 - the mummy is actually the good guy, nice twist.
>>90527068
Good symmetry.
S2E12 - another clever premise, a werewolf who's actually a wolf who turns into a man, not a man who turns into a wolf.
There was a similar episode in the new season of X-Files, where Mulder regains his faith in the paranormal. I wonder where they'll go next now that there's global, irrefutable proof of alien life visiting Earth and experimenting on humans. Are people still going to act like Mulder is crazy, after they got hard evidence he was right?
>>90527123
>no way fag
>>90527123
Theres also a joke where Gadget covers her eyes after seeing a man's junk.
Disney even back then knew how much porn she was getting and referenced it as "For god sakes people she's a mouse".
S2E13 - I remember this episode from when I was a kid. They're on a roll here, three episodes with non-generic plot lines.
>>90527143
[citation needed]
>>90510133
Yeah
Galo sengen
This probably isn't intentional but it's one of the funniest shots in the series.
>>90527143
>Disney even back then knew how much porn she was getting
In what, 1989? Were there 2400-baud dial-up BBSs in the Los Angeles area code that specialized in custom mouse art that took 10 minutes to download a single black-and-white image?
How much the whole thing weight?
>>90527180
Look, if you were female, had alot of porn made of you and some guy showed you his junk you face palm in embarrassment too.
>>90527196
Well more what the artist were drawing in their off time.
>>90527196
>He doesn't know about Tijuana bibles
>>90527196
More like public art galleries in the LA area that Disney staff just happen to go to that the fan art fall into fair use so that Disney can't sue.
>>90527215
Also that.
S2E14 - an actually clever use of the cheese gag. Fourth clever episode in a row, what's happening? If I didn't know all of season 1, season 4, and the first half of season 2 were bland and generic, I would think this show had competent writers.
If I haven't mentioned it before, some scenes in the DVD transfers are absolute crap.
This episode's transfer is exceptionally bad (S2E15). I wonder why season 2 is in SD and why this episode in particular has such a bad transfer.
Could it be? Was this episode mastered on video?
Last episode of season 2. Writing is back to usual. Character design is surprisingly bad, and I suppose the animation is sub-par. Really reminds me of the direct-to-video sequels that Disney would churn out later.
>>90501192
I can't read japanese
>>90527383
It'd be Chinese, the airport's in Hong Kong.
>>90527383It's 'Mail' backwards
S3E02 - one of the better episodes, but I'm getting sick of all this C&D so I'll finish up the rest of S3 later. Maybe.
Despite not completing season 3 yet, I can already get a feel for the series.
Season 1 opened with the best animation they had, and the blandest writing. Animation quality slowly deteriorated all the way to season 4 where we get stuff like >>90499666 and >>90499775 . Things aren't taht bad until season 4 (perhaps until 3, I haven't watched all of it yet). As for writing, other than a cluster of good episodes near the end of season 2, I don't think this show is worth a watch, and even those episodes are only worth watching for the tiny "huh, that's clever" that they elicit. The rest is absolutely babbies-only stuff.
>>90527626
Rescue Rangers is a show better remembered than revisited. It's ok that someone liked it 25 years ago when they were six, but there's no need for 30-somethings to vehemently defend it the way they do.
>>90526925

>>90506297
Like >>90506466 said, that's 100% BS. Any presumed "beef" that Disney has with Weisman is probably you misinterpreting outside circumstances (Sony keeping rights to Spectacular Spider-Man so Disney wasn't able to make a third season, Disney pulling in all their comic licenses after the Marvel acquisition canceling the Gargoyles comic, etc).
>>90526523
Hey, that work on the devil man manga.
>>90531668
>>90531578
It's funny how TMS Fag's repertoire is so consistent you can ALWAYS tell who he is.
He's like an NPC in a video game with only 10 lines of dialogue so he tries to randomize them or scramble then, but eventually you learn them all can ID him in a snap.
Also, fuck him, he's really annoying.
How many US cartoons were given HD remasters?.
>>90532552
>How many US cartoons were given HD remasters?.
I assume you mean TV shows and not movies, since a ton of American animated films have gotten HD blu ray releases.
Not a lot of American TV cartoons have gotten HD remasters. Classic shorts have gotten some very nice clean-ups for DVD releases, such as WB's Popeye, Superman and Looney Tunes sets, but I'm not sure if they qualify as HD.
Filmation's TV shows all got very nice remasters since the original film elements were readily available. Problem is that it's Filmation, so even if the lines are crisp and the colors are vibrant who really gives a shit? Star Trek TAS got an HD blu ray release and while it looks as good as it could ever possibly look, well, "Filmation".
The Transformers is this weird Frankenstein monster thing, now. The film masters contained unfinished animation and only the broadcast master tapes contained the finalized animation. When Rhino restored the film negatives for their release, the result was a ton of "new" animation errors in every episode because they were using the unfinished versions.
Shout Factory tried to Frankenstein the "best possible" version of the episodes by using the restored film elements in conjunction with the broadcast master video tapes whenever their was a piece of unfinished animation. The end result is something that constantly jumps back and forth between SD and HD all throughout the episodes.
No one really thought this far ahead in the 80s and 90s so we're kinda fucked, now.
>>90532789
Holy fuck, I wonder how would it look in motion.
>>90533068
You acclimate to it after a few episodes, but the fluctuating picture quality is pretty distracting if you're just watching 1 or 2 episodes.
Worse is the audio fluctuations. The mix can be so bad that sound effects and music cues are at times inaudible while other moments of dialogue or noise are at MAX VOLUME and there's no way to even it out.
>>90532789
>"new" animation errors
That's kinda funny, coming from a show that was drenched in animation errors to begin with
The rest of season 3, here I go.
S3E03 - if nothing else, the title is fun
This series reminds me of the latest season of Black Mirror. Clearly lots of money and work went into it, but all in service of an incredibly bland production.
Mild by design you could say.
Gadget does a "wild" take. I think that's a first. Although I don't know if it counts because she's faking it, so it's appropriate that it's underwhelming.
>>90534043
Oh, turns out she was sincere. I thought it was fake because the line is delivered completely detached from the situation.
>>90526542
That is one hell of a low crotch she's sporting.
S3E04 - faced with imminent death, Gadget cheerily smiles. She is never wrong and she never fails.
>>90534233
Oh, she was wrong and she failed. Still smiling, though. Fuck drama.
Rare waifus. Dibs on the one with themustache
>>90534208
Golly
>>90534363
At least the jumpsuit could be baggy, unlike the aerobic gear.
S3E05 - Swiss Hitler. I remember watching this as a child. They're clearly going for that gay Nazi from Der Fuehrer's Face, but they're not very good at wacky animation. Alternatively, or more likely, they did something wacky and got told to tone it down again and again.
>>90534603
Forgot pic
S3E06 - more European stereotypes. I'm actually relieved, since seasons 1, 2, and 4 mostly had Asian stereotypes so it's nice to have somediversity
He's a bit rapey
This is terrifying. 10/10 would piss myself again
Jesus Christ, the most intense scene in the entire show.

Miracles happen occasionally.
Yeah, but they're iTunes only, as I recall.
I don't think any rips of the series exist anywhere. And the DvD versions of the series you can find are actually worse than the itunes library. Lower quality, missing seasons, etc.
One of those things that exist but will never be widely available.
S3E11 - I like how they're using realistic batteries and electric motors in their plane, even if the concept itself is unrealistic.
>>90536078
You know what? I normally don't do that, but in this case it might be best to just buy the best versions available RIGHT NOW, even if they are not perfect, or sold in a perfect place. If this stuff does not sell we will never get the comics back.
Wild take. This one is actually good, except like most of the animation it feels like slow motion 'cause sudden movements might scare the viewers.
>>90497361
Talespin, too. And Aladdin.
Top: "I'm mentally exhausted"
Bottom: "I'm tweaking on meth"
These are the kind of subtle differences that make or break animation.
>>90536084
Yeah, they were going the Osprey route with the idea, would have been better to have the wings rotate with the motors.
Nice visual gag
Another strangely low-quality transfer.

So what's Rescue Rangers? A show with a huge animation budget that's aimed squarely at babbies. The acting/animation/posing is super-mild, the villains are super-mild, the stories are forgettable. There are about six or seven interesting drawings and funny jokes in the entire 65-episode series.
Contrary to popular belief, Gadget is not hot, at least not as drawn in the show. She's also not much of an interesting character, and neither are any of the other characters.
>>90537662
So where's the MEGA?
>I hate spunk

Gadget may not be conventionally "hot" but she's still a cute, sunshiney girl who knows useful things. It's really not hard to see her appeal.
>>90537936

Indeed, unless you are a actual animator please shot the fuck up, I know you're just a NEET with no real life as you once said.
>I remember reading BBS boards when Tiny Toons was first airing...
Which screams that you have no life and are not a animator. Me on the other hand, I did used Flipnote Studio in the past and can at least draw, you on the other hand bitch about things you have no idea what you are even talking about so Naoi, do us a favor and please shut the fuck up, you don't know what you're talking about.
>>90536360
My issue with the design is a lack of pitch in the blades and only half of the air flow would actually lift the plane. And there's also the issue of it changing to push after pulling. But a blade twist would make that work out. If the prop wasnt made of a popsicle stick...
>>90536809

I'm sure the bigger problem is the fact there's no tail at all on that bad boy.
