“The Wild Chase”, directed by Friz Freleng and Hawley Pratt, was released on this day in 1965. The first time where Road Runner and Speedy Gonzales raced against each other. Also the first time where Sylvester and Wile E. Coyote teamed up.

(2016) You know something’s the best when you have to clench your fist and shed a single tear when you think about it

Twitter post from a user with the account make AlfieChatTW:

“Why do people hate the ‘beanmouth’ style of American animation so much?

Seriously: why do you all act as if it committed some heinous crime?

I’m aware it’s overused, but thousands of anime look similar, and yet those who dislike ‘beanmouth’ love those shows.”

Twitter post from a user with the account make AlfieChatTW: “Why do people hate the ‘beanmouth’ style of American animation so much? Seriously: why do you all act as if it committed some heinous crime? I’m aware it’s overused, but thousands of anime look similar, and yet those who dislike ‘beanmouth’ love those shows.”

A quote tweet responding to the question posed in what I shared in the previous screencap by a user with the account name Shady Doorags:

“You're coming in after the conversation has long been had - and as a consequence, you're only seeing the remnants of it.

Not too long ago, people started complaining about how the art direction of many different animations were very similar to each other. The belief was that animation, as a whole, was growing stagnant in an effort to stay safe and that these art styles were evidence of that. A bean-shaped mouth tended to be a shared trait among these styles and - being so easily identifiable - became the representation of that particular complaint.

Essentially, ‘beanmouth’ criticisms are often shorthand for complaints about art styles constantly playing it safe and thus stagnating. It's not that people hate ‘beanmouth’ itself, just what it started representing.”

Finally, someone who gets it.

The thin outline aesthetic CAN result in a good cartoon; the issue is that it got overused to the point where the average American animation studio executive didn’t understand what could make it appealing.

A scene of a road facing away from the viewer, viewing a bay that shows Point Reyes. The road is rained over; puddles reflect the wrought iron fence and the fractal bushes, while grass is blooming to either side of the road; translucent rainbows guide the viewer's eye to the distant landscape. A sheer cliff blocks line of sight to the left.

One of the first picutres to use now-routine techniques like surface shaders, the 'Road to Point Reyes' (1983) took a team of Lucasfilms engineers an entire month to render.

A screenshot of Rachel Dratch from SNL. She's a white woman with short dark hair and blue eyes, and she's making an awkward expression that implies, "Sorry I have to tell you this and ruin your good time. But also I'm kind of not sorry about it." I've added a subtitle that reads, "That's AI."

A digital painting of a pokemon.
In a sunlit room, the new gen dog-like pokemon lies on a blanket while being petted with a firm, almost grabbing motion. Tufts of fur spill out between the fingers.

The Hamburger Helper glove mascot stands on a blue truck on a kitchen counter, wearing a jaunty blue and yellow hat. The truck reads "Pizzabake Delivery Truck". Next to the glove is a box with the picture of a square slice of pizza on it

Hamburger Helper Pizzabake (1984-circa 1990): A meal kit containing both a mix for a thick pizza crust and a "pizza-flavored" sauce mix. Whip up the sauce, add to cooked ground beef, spread on the crust, top with cheese and bake, and you've got yourself a pizza-adjacent food!

A hill on which I will die: Calvin and Hobbes is one of the great pieces of 20th-century American literature in no small part because it was never turned into anything aside from a comic strip. Leave it be.

Rockwell's Freedom of Speech

A "great piece of literature" is great regardless of any ancillary products that are created from it, and if an ancillary product causes you to lose regard that piece of literature what you like is not the literature but the status of liking it.
