I got to meet C. Martin Croker at a con about a week before he died. There weren't a lot of people at his booth, so I managed to have a pretty lengthy conversation with him. He was very humble and funny, and just an all-around cool guy.
@@TheSlipperyNUwUdle He was 54 when he died, his cause of death to this day has yet to be released. The photo isn't old really, even finding some recent one he looks the same as the photo pan showed.
Brandon Waters maybe because trolls was more advertised and more people might prefer the troll style of animating. this is just me guessing though I don't know much about either movie.
Cj cathead I liked the animation style in Trolls. But the movie as a whole just felt pandering to today's generation of kids. Pop songs all over the place. Celebrity voice overs. Poop jokes. And characters with "attitude".
Kubo just looks like a 'what the heck is this even'? And Trolls kinda looks a bit like Wreck it Ralph or something like that...IN fact thecharacter dynamics seem very similar. I'm chalking it up to bad advertising, honestly.
Brandon Waters The animation is quite good with many of the textures being furry or made of yarn, with the whole scrapbook theme but the plot is so goddamn predictable and contribed with how that one troll that was litterly put in the mouth of the bergen yet still having a chance? Really? Its bad enough the movie is hard to take seriously with how overly happy everything is
Kubo was very badly advertised. By the time I had even heard of it, it was almost out of theaters. I did like Trolls, but Kubo was far more original. Laika Studios is massively underrated.
Some Nick executives spoke at my ol' college a few years back. They talked about how SpongeBob was lukewarm in its first season. I don't remember the story exactly, but it was either "It had just an okay first season, but one executive who loved the show fought for it to have a second season" or "It just had an okay reception to the pitch, but one executive who loved the idea fought for it to be made into a show". But either way, that one person had to push SpongeBob through to get popular before it got an early boot. Can you imagine a world with a one-season SpongeBob? Or a world where more shows are given a chance to build up their popularity?
@Cherie. I hope your not basically saying "if sponge bob basically didn't exist" which is UNFAIR and unrealistic because it's a show. It had a right to be on air JUST like other shows. SpongeBob is not to blame for other shows being under played. It's NICK'S fault. 2004 was supposed to be SB's last year. Who pushed it on?? NICKELODEON. Also It being "Luke warm" was just someone's opinion though not a fact. And the PILOT episode called "Help Wanted" is what tested audiences interest, just like pilots in other shows. The seasons came due to popular demand. More than someone maybe pushing the show. No TV show was meant to have 1 season unless it was a plain BAD show. So we are not blaming sponge bob. It's a show..it's not alive. Besides Nick played fairly odd parents a lot TOO. It's true other shows should've had a chance but again, the NETWORK is to blame..not a TV show. Nick could've picked ANY show to exploit...they just chose spongebob.
Hi flowerbunny. Absolutely not my intention. I support any successful show that can go on for seasons, because that gives a lot of people stable jobs. I know people who have worked on The Simpsons for over 20 years. I may not watch the show as much, but it is still successful enough to continue and that's fine by me! I am saying that it's a shame most shows don't reach their potential, and SpongeBob was almost one of them.
it's not spongebob that causes cancelation, I believe it's the live action shows because whenever I go to Nick all I see is the frickin live action shows
Now imagine having 2 little sisters who love each and every single one of them. Imagine being stuck in a 5x5 meters hotel room where there's only 1 living room. It got to the point where I memorized even the ads.
Sing: $294,400,000 income (as of early January of 2017) Trolls: $333,200,000 income Ice Age 5: $407,700,000 income Secret Life of Pets: $875,500,000 income Kubo and the Two Strings: $70,000,000 WHY!?!?!?!?!?!
Nicholas Leavitt it's the status quo... if a franchise looks familiar more than likely it'll get it's money back, and as for sing, secret life of pets, and even... fucking trolls... it's the child demographic. a movie like Kubo is in a weird limbo of being marketed toward kids, but having more adult and somewhat terrifying things making a lot of dumb parents in the day and age to afraid to take their children to see a film like it
Billy Barnett Here's my problem though, while SLoP, Sing, and Troll are perfectly fine movies, they are not pushing any boundaries. Well, Trolls did a little, but I'm mainly talking about Illumination. They play it way too safe with their movies to the point were they just feel generic. The Secret Life of Pets is literally just Toy Story with animals and has probably the most predictable plot of any modern CG animated movie today because it just uses things that others have done before it. Kubo on the other hand is taking risks and trying to tell a more original and mature story to it's audience. And sure, while Kubo's story wasn't perfect, Laika is at least trying with it and is very passionate about their movies. Too many CG movies nowadays that aren't Disney or Pixar and becoming to play it way too safe and aren't taking risks with their movies. So I give Laika my fullest respect for going against trends.
ICE AGE is essentially the modern day theatrical equilevant of The Land Before Time franchise; makes one good movie and then shells out shameless cash-in sequel after shameless cash-in sequel.
The land before Time movies at least had the decency to be released as direct to video movies, and Ice Age doesn't compare to the first Land before time, that was a Don Bluth's masterpiece. Ice Age was just your average animated movie that somehow got turned into a franchise, even if nobody asked for it.
You want know something that will really piss you off.where i live kubo never even made it to the cinemas because of one reason "It wouldn't a be relatable story" WTF
And i really wanted to see it so guess what i needed to do? I went to the u.s to watch it with my friends. (I did that and rouge one but we also could have watched that before we went to the us)
Simularly, I was really hyped for Hardcore Henry, but for some reason the closest cinema that showed it was over 2 hours away. The same thing happened with 9 ('Little Big Planet the movie' as Pan Pizza called it.) 9 wasn't that great in the end, but Hardcore Henry was amazing and i'm so pissed I didn't get to see it at a cinema!
I remember having a similar situation but with the shaun the sheep movie at my cinema. They never showed the movie but i remember seeing a poster for the movie months before it was to be released back which was ridiculous.
I like Teen Titans Go is a pretty ok show, but seriously do not they have anything better? Adventure Time has already gone, Regular Show has already exhausted the formula, and Steven Rapeyverse hiatus after hiatus, really worth just producing a show that can not even maintain some regularity? And it is not as if the quality of the show is phenomenal to explain, this shit is pretty average getting deformed sometimes
Bill Zypher oh my gosh your right. I actually almost forgot it because of the other cartoon svtfoe. thanks for reminding me but no I'm serious thank you.
I din't watch WoY beacuse I thought it was too bizzare and childish for me kinda like Uncle Granpa, but after hearing "I'm the Bad Guy" on UA-cam in 2017, I'll forever regret never watching it.
I saw Kubo two times because I knew it was going to be a flop. Almost nobody ever wants to see animation that is not Disney or Dreamworks. The only 2D animated movie I remember after the flop of Princess and the Frog, said to convince studios to never release a film like that again, was Spongebob Out of Water, and the advertisement focused on the 3D scenes that were only 10-15 minutes long. Stop-motion is already too expensive for movies whose premise doesn't appeal to the mainstream as much as a kid comedy. Look at the Oscars, the hiatuses and the treatment of the Sausage Party animators. Even if this decade is producing some of the best animation, the regard of it is the worst.
TheJustin4848 Actually I noticed that they marketed this one better than their others. They even had sweepstakes and had commercials in a variety of places. I think the issue is that mainstream audiences just aren't interested in anything animation unless it is Disney or Pop - Cultural related and those who would like don't have money or time. Maybe they should market their movies to college/high school students.... But even then that still might only attract a certain amount
So I got a classic Powerpuff girls ad before the video so even Hulu's like "Don't worry guys, this is the good Powerpuff series that's on our service!"
Don't forget Disney XD giving Craig McCracken and loyal Disney fans a solid f*** you to a third season of Wander Over Yonder, even after fans sent literally hundreds of heartfelt letters, and a petition on change.org that garnered over 40k signatures!
Pan, stop guilt-tripping me! I wanted to see Kubo with all my heart, but a) My best friend saw it before me and she didn't wanna spend money on a movie she'd already seen b) My dad thought it was "Anime" and he didn't like the "Japanese animation". c) My stepbrother agreed to take me, but at the last minute he said "Ugh, animation is for kids" and d) We were gonna watch it for a field trip, but we had to cancel at the last minute 'cause we didn't have transportation. FUCK MY LIFE
SBells27 Oh... you weren't joking. The reason that Kubo not being seen was tragic is because it didn't get money. If it didn't get money, more animation like Kubo will not be made. Watching it on Kisscartoon, as apposed to trying to watch legitimately, does not solve that problem. Bottom line, if you want more cartoons like Kubo, Kisscartoon should be a last resort. Good DVD sales has caused producers to think twice before (Probably itunes and netflicks popularity couldn't hurt either).
Man 2016 seems like a fever dream at first but compared to the years that followed and the nightmare that was 2020 and how strict and constructive and less free the internet has become since ... i kinda miss it and the fun chaotic freedom that came with the year
I feel for ya, but they might be fine. Apparently, the guy who owns Laika is Phil Knight, who's also the co-founder of Nike. Yes, that Nike. His son Travis is Laika's president. The studio is basically a passion project for him. Their movies can keep bombing but as long as Travis wants to make more, he'll get his dad's money. It's great. That said, I'd still rather have Laika's movies be successful on their own without needing Nike-money. They deserve it.
Butt Yeah but they had much more ideas planned to go deeper into Wander and Lord Hater's character and origin. Season 2's arch was finished but ideas are left to possibly never see the light of day.
I would recommend you to use the audio clip from the episode where Kim says "I liked you better naked". I believe that you could use it in many FUN ways. Oh wait... this is not Zone toons. My bad.
Ice age was dead after one, after that no one cared and no one should care. The first movie was the last time they put actual effort into that "series"
I actually quite enjoyed the 18th and 19th seasons of South Park. Those were serialization done RIGHT. Each episode stood on their own, even with the story arch. It was refreshing to see them trying something different. Season 20 started out so promising, but they REALLY shit the bed with the whole Garrison/Trump election thing. The "troll" plot would have made a nice episode, or even a two parter, but TEN episodes of it? It was just...boring with no payoff. Seems like they're going back to the old format next season based on the latest episode title "The End of Serialization as We Know it."
The "troll" plot might've done well if it were at least a three parter, like the Black Friday or Imaginationland triology. I don't have time to watch 9 other episodes just to understand what one episode is all about.
Synth Curie This always happens to the best animators, they make an amazing show that no one knows about until it's too late to save it. Just look at Craig McCracken. Wander Over Yonder was god-tier, but literally nobody cared about it until "I'm the bad guy" went viral.
11:09 I’m actually, in awe of how open and transparent they were with that announcement. They said their goal, said that the money from everything just isn’t enough and they need to find a way to make it happen. And not just a “hey we’re cancelling it sorry”
Tornusage I liked it. It was flawed though. One thing I don't like is, like pan said, that they have a large plot. South Park isn't some anime. Liked the general plot though.
Something new and original from a stop motion animation studio comes out, but everyone had to see the 7 Minutes of the Joker movie that everyone already KNEW was going to suck. This gives Hollywood the idea that we hate new and original things and only want romantisisation of seriouse mental illnesses and abusive relationships dressed up as Hot Topic cash grabs.
Popeye is continuing but not with Genndy Tartavosky, rather the director of the Ratchet and Clank movie........... So basically Sony canned a Popeye movie from a visionary in exchange for *two* lame animated movies.....
DRUGS ARE GOOD / THEY MAKE YOU DO THINGS THAT YOU KNOW YOU NOT SHOULD / AND WHEN YOU DO THEM PEOPLE THINK THAT YOU'RE COOL / AND WHEN YOU DO THEM PEOPLE THINK THAT YOU'RE COOL.
Kubo and the Two Strings' failure really made me think about how much the advertising game has changed lately. I watched both Cartoon Network and Nick back in 2009 and 2012 and I remember Coraline and Paranorman being promoted just as much as any Pixar, Dreamworks, or any other big studio movie back then. Meanwhile, I think I saw like one or two commercials promoting Kubo compared to Trolls' thousands of commercials, merchandise, and Happy Meal toys. Sad truth be told, kids networks would rather give their advertising to movies kids would enjoy more over movies animation enthusiasts would enjoy more. And that's a pretty damn shame.
@@wifiwaifu5243 they were good but like old Dan schiender shows and game shows nowadays it's unfunny and those gameshows has long ended if you exclude the double dare revival
You summed up everything I thought about Kubo. I fucking loved Kubo and I expected to see a cancerous fanbase to get ahold of it but instead I got the opposite.
Terrible fanbases are usually always relegated to the internet, or conventions. I never see these people in my day to day life. So I say they're good as long as they stay contained.
It has been almost 2 years since we have lost a legendary animator, I remember watching reruns of Aqua Teen Hunger Force when I was 10 and absolutely loving it. I'm currently 15 and feel sad that I found out so late, I am sad to see a man like him gone “Fare the well buddy, May your oven stay forever lit” C. Martin Croker 1962-2016
Kubo was gorgeous, but had so, so many problems. Hardly that studio's best work. Still though, that set designed for the skeleton scene was just about the coolest thing to see as an post credit scene.
Regular Show is ending today and Cartoon Network didn't even do a marathon, very sad since Regular Show played a big role on getting Cartoon Network back on track.
hiatus have been in tv forever.i dont know why you put it on the list. that TMNT bad treatment you told seems more fitting. Also i would have added what happened to WOY but i guess you didnt hear about it.
RebelTaxi Yea man. not just cartoons live action shows... Flash, Arrow, Agents of Shield... Thaf shit would be on for 2 weeks then stop Airing Like Wtf bruh?
Also NO ONE SAW KUBO WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE Kids don't want to see good animation they just want to see trendy bullshit that will keep them entertained so the parents can relax from their shitty lives for a few seconds Sorry I snapped I'm not toxic I swear
Not Frank Jack Gamer To be fair Berserk's creator is notorious for being inconsistent with his release dates and is pretty damn lazy when it comes to actually getting them done. he's the Japanese GRR Martin.
Amusing little story about Norm of The North: I actually knew about it six years before it happened ONLY because I made a Rob Schneider joke about this studio's first movie. When "Alpha and Omega" came out, I went on one message board and described the trailer as being "This wolf derp de derp, and this wold derp de deum, until one day...!" which is pretty much how I saw that movie. Then one person replied "You'll never guess who'll be in this studio's next movie."
No one mentioning Pokemon's move to Disney XD? btw Nick, I'm still pissed about the treatment of Digimon Fusion and Korra. If not for brand recognition we'd lose Tmnt as well. Another great one.
I saw Kubo and the Two Strings... it was amazing but it came out the same time as Sausage Party and Suicide Squad if my memory serves right... fucking bummer
I litterly cried when I read CH green's response to this like I found out that it was being moved to nicktoons when I saw some Harvey fan art on their instagram and a fan was telling them that they were terrible for moving it to nicktoons
NertamatorTV well it just got boring we enjoyed continuity when it was a gag or small details but when it was just one long story we got tired and lost interest, didn't help the story wasn't that great to begin with now we have a series episodes that can't stand on their own since you need all this context for one episode of season 20 that'll probably leave you disappointed with everyone of them ending on an overly dramatic cliffhanger.
Sadly, Half Life 3 probably won't ever happen because people set the bar so high, that even if it turns out to be the greatest video game of all time, it would still disappoint a huge portion of gamers.
Mauricio Arrieta That wouldn't make much difference. It's still a story about a kid who has to deal with a horrible family history and the death of her parents in a fantastical manner.
Thank you Pan. I loved Kubo I went and saw it twice once by myself and again with a friend. I wanted to promote the movie and told everyone I knew to go see it. It's sad when you especially look at what the secret life of pets made.
it actually doesn't matter whether or not kubo is successful or laika makes a profit from their movies. laika's president is the son of the co-founder and chairman of Nike. their films can flop however many times and they can still make more really beautiful and expensive films. hooray for capitalism...?
yeah i mean Kubo did the worst for profits but Coraline was the ONLY one of their four films to actually make back double it's budget, and no more than $124 mil at that. I highly doubt Studio Laika would still be around if it weren't for their close ties to Nike.
I honestly don't know why people liked Sausage Party that much. The jokes are the equivalent to 13 year old's who recently and barely understanding the word "comedy", the animation (though impressive on a certain scale) is like a polished french animation, and had a running time of WAYYY too long; thirty minutes could have been okay and unique to movie standards now and days. Just watch the trailer and you've pretty much watch the whole movie. I personally LOATHE this movie because, along with Suicide Squad, it's ticket sale blew up in the box office, overshadowing Kubo. I swear if Sausage Party is even nominated for the Oscars, or any other award, I'll just give up hope for 2017! Maybe the entire world!
Robert Cantu I thought Sausage Party was a good movie. It was finally nice to see an animated movie in a theater targeted towards adults instead of kids.
I watched Kubo today and loved every second of it I especially loved the flawless movement of the paper and the post credit scene of the guardian of the sword unbreakable
While everyone was watching "The Boss", My friends and I watched "Hardcore Henry" on its opening night. We had the theatre room all to ourselves. We had so much fun the manager came in to check that we weren't burning the place down cause we were so loud.
PPG 2016:uhhhhhhhhhhhh PPG OG:good PPG Z: weird and interesting PPG dance pantsed:WTF The whoop-ass girls:cool did you know that was the original pilot for PPG

I'm glad you got to meet him
How old was he??? He looked so young. :( or was that an old photo?
@@TheSlipperyNUwUdle
He was 54 when he died, his cause of death to this day has yet to be released.
The photo isn't old really, even finding some recent one he looks the same as the photo pan showed.
Woah, man. Surreal...
I watched Kubo. The place was filled with screaming kids and adults on their phones.
Bruno Franco * their
i watched it in an empty theater
Bruno Franco I watched it alone in my room with popcorn and a Dr Pepper and it was great
Bruno Franco Empty theater for me.
People were respectful at the theater I went to.
The fact that "Kubo" lost at the box office to freaking "Trolls" of all movies, really got under my skin.
Brandon Waters maybe because trolls was more advertised and more people might prefer the troll style of animating.
this is just me guessing though I don't know much about either movie.

Not true, i think Cory in the house was good.
WTF GASTER I second that
don't blame audiences for not seeing Kubo. blame who ever decided to barely advertise it and released it in a fewer than normal amount of theaters.
I don't even recall seeing Kubo show up in my theater.
I'm from NY and Kubo wasn't advertised well. Only thing I knew about was that he had a little guitar thingie that controlled paper..
Kyle Towers I was mad when it released because I heard of it months prior and was excited for it, but didn't hear shit about it being released
I was tempted to see it but Double Toasted (really great movie reviewers) said it was basically a movie based off of a zelda game
Kyle Towers The commercials never got me interested in the movie.

There's no credit for creativity anymore, I suppose.
Nicholas Leavitt it's the status quo... if a franchise looks familiar more than likely it'll get it's money back, and as for sing, secret life of pets, and even... fucking trolls... it's the child demographic. a movie like Kubo is in a weird limbo of being marketed toward kids, but having more adult and somewhat terrifying things making a lot of dumb parents in the day and age to afraid to take their children to see a film like it
I loved Secret Life Of Pets, haven't seen Sing or Trolls but people I know liked it. My friend took his daughter to see them and he liked it.
Bret Schafer Yeah, it's quite bullcrap what society has become today.

ICE AGE is essentially the modern day theatrical equilevant of The Land Before Time franchise; makes one good movie and then shells out shameless cash-in sequel after shameless cash-in sequel.
Pretty sure that was Alpha and Omega.
Brandon Dozier at least The Land Before Time sequels was WATCHABLE Compared to the Ice Age and Alpha and Omega Sequels! You know it
The land before Time movies at least had the decency to be released as direct to video movies, and Ice Age doesn't compare to the first Land before time, that was a Don Bluth's masterpiece. Ice Age was just your average animated movie that somehow got turned into a franchise, even if nobody asked for it.
MunchJrGames Except Land Before Time was actually good
MunchJrGames At least the Alpha and Omega sequels went STRAIGHT TO DVD rather than wasting perfectly good theater space!
You want know something that will really piss you off.where i live kubo never even made it to the cinemas because of one reason "It wouldn't a be relatable story" WTF
And i really wanted to see it so guess what i needed to do? I went to the u.s to watch it with my friends. (I did that and rouge one but we also could have watched that before we went to the us)
How is getting your friends eaten by Goblins "Relatable" exactly?
As much as Star Wars
Simularly, I was really hyped for Hardcore Henry, but for some reason the closest cinema that showed it was over 2 hours away. The same thing happened with 9 ('Little Big Planet the movie' as Pan Pizza called it.) 9 wasn't that great in the end, but Hardcore Henry was amazing and i'm so pissed I didn't get to see it at a cinema!
I remember having a similar situation but with the shaun the sheep movie at my cinema. They never showed the movie but i remember seeing a poster for the movie months before it was to be released back which was ridiculous.
my mom is a fan of ice age... and she refuses to accept the 4th and 5th movies as part of the franchise... for her those movies do not exist
Basically the same way Star Wars fans don't consider the prequels as part of the Star Wars franchise
relinsander I'm literally just like your mom
Kinda same with my mom the 4th movie was very forgettable for her and she thought 5th was decent but nothing really special
Your mother is a smart lady.
I really agree with your mom
3:22 “Part 2 will be down after the show is cancelled”

I have an internship at Laika studios this spring 💕💕
Hannah Lou Congrats!
Thank you
How was it?
I’m proud of you
Nice! Make sure they don't make anything bad again like Boxtrolls 'kay?
Remember when they aired Teen Titans Go for about 3 days straight? That was a pretty bad moment in animation. Probably worth an honorable mention.
Roxlyn166 aha, the Eastern European Cartoon Network version aired several hours of it and it was pointless to watch it straightly for that long...
Roxlyn166 What's a Teen Titans Go?
Chase Mccartney Ha! Good point
what. that can't be real.
I like Teen Titans Go is a pretty ok show, but seriously do not they have anything better? Adventure Time has already gone, Regular Show has already exhausted the formula, and Steven Rapeyverse hiatus after hiatus, really worth just producing a show that can not even maintain some regularity?

The only 2D animated movie I remember after the flop of Princess and the Frog, said to convince studios to never release a film like that again, was Spongebob Out of Water, and the advertisement focused on the 3D scenes that were only 10-15 minutes long. Stop-motion is already too expensive for movies whose premise doesn't appeal to the mainstream as much as a kid comedy. Look at the Oscars, the hiatuses and the treatment of the Sausage Party animators. Even if this decade is producing some of the best animation, the regard of it is the worst.
Kubo failed because Lakia doesn't know how to market their movies. The same thing happened with Box trolls and Paranorman.
"Kubo failed because Laika doesn't know TO market their movies."
There, I fixed it for you.
Princess and the Frog's returns weren't particularly great, but it wasn't by any stretch a flop. It still at least turned in some profit.
@Tejan, actually, Kubo gets great reviews.
TheJustin4848
Actually I noticed that they marketed this one better than their others. They even had sweepstakes and had commercials in a variety of places.
I think the issue is that mainstream audiences just aren't interested in anything animation unless it is Disney or Pop - Cultural related and those who would like don't have money or time. Maybe they should market their movies to college/high school students.... But even then that still might only attract a certain amount
So I got a classic Powerpuff girls ad before the video so even Hulu's like "Don't worry guys, this is the good Powerpuff series that's on our service!"
I saw that as well and they made sure to add the word classic on it to differentiate from the disappointing new series.
Don't forget Disney XD giving Craig McCracken and loyal Disney fans a solid f*** you to a third season of Wander Over Yonder, even after fans sent literally hundreds of heartfelt letters, and a petition on change.org that garnered over 40k signatures!
It's Disney. They rely on lots of syndication or only 2 seasons. Good luck passing that.
Aren't you forgetting the OTHER finale? one that ruined one of the best animated series of all time? *cough* Weirdmageddon 3 *cough*
Weirdmageddon didn't ruin Gravity Falls. It ended on the creator's wish.
IABI TV so Disney XD is pretty much mostly the Valve of Television as they both can’t count to 3
Maybe it could come back on Disney+?
Pan, stop guilt-tripping me! I wanted to see Kubo with all my heart, but a) My best friend saw it before me and she didn't wanna spend money on a movie she'd already seen b) My dad thought it was "Anime" and he didn't like the "Japanese animation". c) My stepbrother agreed to take me, but at the last minute he said "Ugh, animation is for kids" and d) We were gonna watch it for a field trip, but we had to cancel at the last minute 'cause we didn't have transportation. FUCK MY LIFE
Excuses, excuses.
Silly, watch it at Kisscartoon.
SBells27 .....funny joke.... But seriously. Only thing to do now is give it buco dvd sales.
Betsy Lee ... It is a real website, search it up.
SBells27 Oh... you weren't joking. The reason that Kubo not being seen was tragic is because it didn't get money. If it didn't get money, more animation like Kubo will not be made. Watching it on Kisscartoon, as apposed to trying to watch legitimately, does not solve that problem. Bottom line, if you want more cartoons like Kubo, Kisscartoon should be a last resort. Good DVD sales has caused producers to think twice before (Probably itunes and netflicks popularity couldn't hurt either).
2:22 Gru's trademark gun is a freezing gun though.
Nah, Gru had a 9mm stored in that coat before someone changed it to a water gun
+RebelTaxi Hey,are you gonna make a best of 2016 list now?
i lost my shit the way he lsot his gun
to dyslexia
No, that's his fart gun.
Man 2016 seems like a fever dream at first but compared to the years that followed and the nightmare that was 2020 and how strict and constructive and less free the internet has become since ... i kinda miss it and the fun chaotic freedom that came with the year
Tell me about it 😔
Yeah, I'm really bummed about Kubo, it deserves more appreciation
Shouldn't have come out in August
No it didn't it was a piece of shit awful movie
WHAT THE HELL!? HOW DID NOBODY WATCH KUBO!? THAT SHIT WAS GREAT MAN!!!
I swear to god if Laika disappears I'm going to die.
They Call Me Spacy I'll actually cry
They're in development of a film based on a novel called Wildwood
Nina Garcia Oh thanks for the information , i might just check up on that novel
They Call Me Spacy It's an interesting novel set in Oregon.
I feel for ya, but they might be fine.
Apparently, the guy who owns Laika is Phil Knight, who's also the co-founder of Nike. Yes, that Nike. His son Travis is Laika's president. The studio is basically a passion project for him. Their movies can keep bombing but as long as Travis wants to make more, he'll get his dad's money. It's great.
That said, I'd still rather have Laika's movies be successful on their own without needing Nike-money. They deserve it.
You actually have a pretty good impression of Sid
Kubo and hardcore Henry didn't do well? Fuck I loved those movies, dragged my family to the theater for both of them and they were amazing.
clay jack Hardcore henry didn't either? aww, that movie was sick!
AverageGuard Lucas well it did make a profit, but not a very big one.
Wander's cancellation at least an honorable mention?
wander got cancelled at the beginning of season 2 in 2015
so..............
but yeah it should have been at least tied with harvey
Studio CONGO4.0 You are right. It would have been a decision made in 2015 but I only heard about it in 2016.
I fined this odd... the last episode had a vary conclusive feel to it so I did not realize it was canceled.
Butt Yeah but they had much more ideas planned to go deeper into Wander and Lord Hater's character and origin. Season 2's arch was finished but ideas are left to possibly never see the light of day.
Butt They were planning on doing a season 3, but it got cancelled
If only we watched Harvey Beaks instead of calling it "Gumball Ripoff"
Norm of the North is pain incarnate.
Yes, Dan,yes it was.
How long until your revenge on it is served cold?
Realshow Well, as you know, revenge is a dish best served *immediately.*
I Miss Dan Vs
PAINdering incarnate
why the hold for a Kim Possible Review
There's a ton of episodes. I just finished the script yesterday
RebelTaxi hey pan there's a wwe jetson movie I will link you it on twitter so you can talk about it on the podcast next week
HOLY SHIT
All aboard the hype train!
I would recommend you to use the audio clip from the episode where Kim says "I liked you better naked". I believe that you could use it in many FUN ways. Oh wait... this is not Zone toons. My bad.
Pan is the coolest person i know
Maybe that's sad
Dekugh
he's even cooler if you follow his tumblr
Is he, like, the only person you know?
peps, i do, i even made fanart.
You need to get to know more people
Ice Age overstayed its welcome
Can't wait for Ice Age: The Great Depression!
at 1
Or the 4th one.
+WTF GASTER
Probably time travel to the present. And it will still be titled ICE AGE.....
Ice age was dead after one, after that no one cared and no one should care. The first movie was the last time they put actual effort into that "series"
I actually quite enjoyed the 18th and 19th seasons of South Park. Those were serialization done RIGHT. Each episode stood on their own, even with the story arch. It was refreshing to see them trying something different. Season 20 started out so promising, but they REALLY shit the bed with the whole Garrison/Trump election thing. The "troll" plot would have made a nice episode, or even a two parter, but TEN episodes of it? It was just...boring with no payoff. Seems like they're going back to the old format next season based on the latest episode title "The End of Serialization as We Know it."
Brock Baker Why are there only 18 likes on this comment !?
Who knew Eduardo from eddsworld liked to watch rebeltaxi?
Niklas Theelder Yup, the season was pure shit. The Garrison stuff was funny when it first started but like everything else was run into the ground.
Season 21 and 22 are them getting back on track.
The "troll" plot might've done well if it were at least a three parter, like the Black Friday or Imaginationland triology. I don't have time to watch 9 other episodes just to understand what one episode is all about.
wait the creator of Chowder is working on a new cartoon? HOLY SHIT
damn its canceld :(
Synth Curie
This always happens to the best animators, they make an amazing show that no one knows about until it's too late to save it. Just look at Craig McCracken. Wander Over Yonder was god-tier, but literally nobody cared about it until "I'm the bad guy" went viral.
She had them hips too!
This just proves what Pan was saying. Well, not proves, but you know what I mean.
@felix, "I'm the bad guy" didn't go viral.
I missed Kubo because six classes and a part time job. What's your excuse, America?
Sambou Jaiteh It wasn't that cool anyways. I mean it was okay, but not amazing
11:09 I’m actually, in awe of how open and transparent they were with that announcement. They said their goal, said that the money from everything just isn’t enough and they need to find a way to make it happen. And not just a “hey we’re cancelling it sorry”
Oh don't worry pan, we ain't done nailing god's coffin yet. You forget...
T H E E M O J I M O V I E
Don't forget that there might be sequels.
*forgot
both would be correct
At first I read this as "The Mojimovie" and wondered what the heck you were talking about
In other unrelated news, Scalebound is cancelled and will never see the light of day
Glad I'm not the only one who thought South Park season 20 sucked
Tornusage True, but I do like a few episodes of season 20.
Paige Arnol same.
Tornusage South Park season 20 didnt suck, member those presidential election episodes?!..
Tornusage I hated it too!😡
Tornusage I liked it. It was flawed though. One thing I don't like is, like pan said, that they have a large plot. South Park isn't some anime. Liked the general plot though.
I Saw Kubo And the 2 strings and insisted every single one of my friends saw it asap. OMG the best storytelling and beautiful animations!
wasn't Fritz The Cat the first R rated adult animated film in theaters?
corpus walker
Yes, but nowadays, R Rated animated films are the rarity, so Sausage Party opened the idea to modern audiences and possibly filmmakers.
ThePotatoKing well it was a different generation entirely but I still watch it on.a regular basis so maybe it's just me who's living in the past lol
Zer0dog
Still Adult
its just as Zer0dog says. it was an X rated movie.
corpus walker He meant Sausage Party is the first CGI R Rated animated film.
ROB SCHNEIDER IS...

Oh my god
Something new and original from a stop motion animation studio comes out, but everyone had to see the 7 Minutes of the Joker movie that everyone already KNEW was going to suck. This gives Hollywood the idea that we hate new and original things and only want romantisisation of seriouse mental illnesses and abusive relationships dressed up as Hot Topic cash grabs.
Kubo failed because of terrible advertising.
dreamworks canceled popeye movie for emoji movie -yay-
Weeb bleach It wasn't DreamWorks it was sony
worse decision ever since my failed abortion
Popeye is continuing but not with Genndy Tartavosky, rather the director of the Ratchet and Clank movie...........
So basically Sony canned a Popeye movie from a visionary in exchange for *two* lame animated movies.....
Weeb bleach emoji movie is gone. It was canned from the backlash if the internet. At lease that's what I heard
Zazzy Z-man No it isn't it was unfourntly a lie

Ironic.
I wanted to watch Kubo but my mom said no because the movie would 'make her have to think'
Dango.
*Insert Clever Name Here* Well, at least she was honest?
time to kill mom
lol, no it wouldn't. I legit didn't have to use my brain once throughout that whole thing. if you did you have brain of very small child.
*Insert Clever Name Here* I told my parents that it was meant to be good but they were like "oh it looks weird though"
Both kubo and hardcore Henry hasn't available on my country, and you just shame me for not doing something that I wanted to, thanks pan
But if it is good as coraline I really missed out
The animation and designs are amazing. Coraline definitely has a stronger plot though.
Kubo and the Two Strings' failure really made me think about how much the advertising game has changed lately. I watched both Cartoon Network and Nick back in 2009 and 2012 and I remember Coraline and Paranorman being promoted just as much as any Pixar, Dreamworks, or any other big studio movie back then. Meanwhile, I think I saw like one or two commercials promoting Kubo compared to Trolls' thousands of commercials, merchandise, and Happy Meal toys. Sad truth be told, kids networks would rather give their advertising to movies kids would enjoy more over movies animation enthusiasts would enjoy more. And that's a pretty damn shame.
Remember Ratchet and Clank the movie? Of course you didn't.
*No one should.*
Dang, was it THAT bad?
you know a films a success when it comes on Netflix not even a year after release
Rachet and Clank had a movie?
SwordOkami Gosh was it really *that* bad? i thought so considering that it came out and no one talked about it until it vanished into obscurity
***** By my standards, if a movie is forgettable, that means it was bad
Considering how awful the animation industry was treated in 2022, I think we deserve another animation fails of the year list.
Cartoons are NEVER on Nickelodeon here now, it's all live action crap instead.
surprise
Which means, much like Cartoon Network in the past, they've strayed away from their roots. Does that mean they're due a revival as well?
TheAwakeOrangutang Nickelodeon always had live action shows, since the beginning.
@@wifiwaifu5243 they were good but like old Dan schiender shows and game shows nowadays it's unfunny and those gameshows has long ended if you exclude the double dare revival
You summed up everything I thought about Kubo. I fucking loved Kubo and I expected to see a cancerous fanbase to get ahold of it but instead I got the opposite.
Is the cancerous fanbase good or bad?
good for the company bad for the viewers
it'll come around.
People will look back at it 5 or 10 years from now and realize how great it is.
It'll be a cult classic, you'll see!
Terrible fanbases are usually always relegated to the internet, or conventions. I never see these people in my day to day life. So I say they're good as long as they stay contained.
Darth Sceledrus Does any stop motion movie have a cancerous fanbase? I have barely seen one that even has an actual fanbase.
It has been almost 2 years since we have lost a legendary animator, I remember watching reruns of Aqua Teen Hunger Force when I was 10 and absolutely loving it.
I'm currently 15 and feel sad that I found out so late, I am sad to see a man like him gone

It was fake.
321gofast it's canned do to the backlash if the internet. Thank god
It has an august release I think it's still happening. I kinda want it to come out I wanna see how bad it is.
I don't think it was actually cancelled, folks. The one source I saw saying that said they were joking.
Kubo was gorgeous, but had so, so many problems. Hardly that studio's best work. Still though, that set designed for the skeleton scene was just about the coolest thing to see as an post credit scene.
wanted to watch Kubo but I was dragged into Ghostbusters.
FUCKING GHOSTBUSTERS
But Travis, THINK OF THE WOMIN, YOU SEXIST PIIIIIIG!!!!!!!!!!!
The Travis Kohai WHAT?! I hope whoever dragged you regretted it and would listen to you next time you talk about watching a movie.

Should've mentioned how Cartoon Network is treating Regular Show and Adventure Time. They never get aired anymore
itsPatrickBoi they also "accidentally leaked" Steven universe episodes, one of its most popular shows, taking away TV viewership
itsPatrickBoi yeah but aren't they ending soon
Regular Show is ending today and Cartoon Network didn't even do a marathon, very sad since Regular Show played a big role on getting Cartoon Network back on track.
Are they gonna show Regular Show at all anymore? I missed the finale, and I haven't seen it on the schedule since.
8 months later, Adventure Time still barely airs and Regular Show is just completely gone
hiatus have been in tv forever.i dont know why you put it on the list.
that TMNT bad treatment you told seems more fitting.
Also i would have added what happened to WOY but i guess you didnt hear about it.
I don't know, it just seemed like 2016 everything I watched went on Hiaitus
RebelTaxi
Yea man. not just cartoons live action shows... Flash, Arrow, Agents of Shield... Thaf shit would be on for 2 weeks then stop Airing Like Wtf bruh?
RebelTaxi Is there a list or something online showing all the cartoons on hiatus
RebelTaxi well im sorry buddy cause 2017 is gonna be the same.thats how the industry is i guess.
Juan Don Nadie what's woy stand for?
Also since PPG 2016 finally got canceled a few years back, can we finally get the part 2?
Pan please you think your cartoon hiatus is bad I waited 8 years for a man to get off a boat
Also NO ONE SAW KUBO WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE
Kids don't want to see good animation they just want to see trendy bullshit that will keep them entertained so the parents can relax from their shitty lives for a few seconds
Sorry I snapped I'm not toxic I swear
Not Frank Jack Gamer what show was that?
I feel like hiatus with the word boat in the same sentence has to be "Berserk".
Berserk.
Not Frank Jack Gamer To be fair Berserk's creator is notorious for being inconsistent with his release dates and is pretty damn lazy when it comes to actually getting them done. he's the Japanese GRR Martin.
Amusing little story about Norm of The North: I actually knew about it six years before it happened ONLY because I made a Rob Schneider joke about this studio's first movie.
When "Alpha and Omega" came out, I went on one message board and described the trailer as being "This wolf derp de derp, and this wold derp de deum, until one day...!" which is pretty much how I saw that movie. Then one person replied "You'll never guess who'll be in this studio's next movie."
I've seen Alpha and Omega. That film suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucked.
The Blue Shell
Totally.
The Blue Shell I remember seeing a single poster about that movie and later on an ad for the dvd. Looked like crap, glad I didn't watch it.
No one mentioning Pokemon's move to Disney XD?
btw Nick, I'm still pissed about the treatment of Digimon Fusion and Korra.
If not for brand recognition we'd lose Tmnt as well. Another great one.
KUBO DIDNT MAKE ENOUGH FUCKING MONEY?! FML
It made more than enough movie. It just didn't make enough _money_.
Nice one
Giygas i got mad. woopsy
MarioBros3099 to make you happy,I actually watched and love Kubo
I saw Kubo and the Two Strings... it was amazing but it came out the same time as Sausage Party and Suicide Squad if my memory serves right... fucking bummer
And to this day, that part 2 never happened
Isn't it weird how the first Ice Age's plot revolves around the fact that human exist and then no trace of them is ever seen in the next 4 movies.
I litterly cried when I read CH green's response to this like I found out that it was being moved to nicktoons when I saw some Harvey fan art on their instagram and a fan was telling them that they were terrible for moving it to nicktoons
I remember seeing Kubo in theaters a long time ago. Most of the theater was filled with empty seats
why did people hate south park season 20
Because it was a series and continued
NertamatorTV idk. I like it
no
NertamatorTV well it just got boring we enjoyed continuity when it was a gag or small details but when it was just one long story we got tired and lost interest, didn't help the story wasn't that great to begin with now we have a series episodes that can't stand on their own since you need all this context for one episode of season 20 that'll probably leave you disappointed with everyone of them ending on an overly dramatic cliffhanger.
cause it sucked
I saw Kubo in the theaters
same
I saw it three times in theaters.
I literally watched it alone because I wanted to see it so badly. Everyone I know didn't wanna see it.
Generic Name I wanted to see it
Me too. I talked my mom and brother into seeing it with me, and we all loved it. I even asked for (and got) it on DVD for Christmas.
"Waaaah where's my cartoon I have been waiting two years for it"
Nigga people have been waiting a decade for half life 3.
Nigga, people have been waiting 15 years for Shenmue 3.
That one's hard to top...
Sadly, Half Life 3 probably won't ever happen because people set the bar so high, that even if it turns out to be the greatest video game of all time, it would still disappoint a huge portion of gamers.
Tommy Dee How dare you doubt Lord Gaben!
Oh please! I've been waiting for Star Fox 2, and all I got was this lousy t-shirt called Star Fox Zero.
I wonder why pan changed the thumbnail from having norm to having bubbles

The creators of ice age said in an interview that they could see themselves doing ice age up to 20 and further.
"That doesn't include the money spent on advertising".
Wait. So it HAD advertising!?
11:37 And hey, Miraculous Ladybug was insanely popular and _it got killed off anyway._
Exactly! Miraculous Ladybug had so much potential, but Nickelodeon is fucking incompetent
Showing Star Vs as one of the ones that did storylines “well”
BOY did that age!
I mean, Kubo was pretty, but the plot was pretty predictable. YMS says it best, "10/10 animation, 5/10 story".
Paul B Nah more like 1/11
Every story has already been told. Kubo just executed it beautifully.
if only that kid was a girl....
Mauricio Arrieta That wouldn't make much difference. It's still a story about a kid who has to deal with a horrible family history and the death of her parents in a fantastical manner.
@@mauriarrieta1251 He looked like a girl to me when I first saw images of this movie.
Sausage Party really just shows why the animation industry needs a big union movement.
I wanted to see Kubo so hard, but the theathers in my town aired it for like a week or so, and I was on a test week, I had 0 spare time
I saw Hardcore Henry and Kubo in theaters twice, both times I was the only person in the there...lolsob
Thank you Pan. I loved Kubo I went and saw it twice once by myself and again with a friend. I wanted to promote the movie and told everyone I knew to go see it. It's sad when you especially look at what the secret life of pets made.
Watching this is me remembering a simpler time
it actually doesn't matter whether or not kubo is successful or laika makes a profit from their movies. laika's president is the son of the co-founder and chairman of Nike. their films can flop however many times and they can still make more really beautiful and expensive films. hooray for capitalism...?
I'm really thankful of that. I wonder how long that will go for.
yeah i mean Kubo did the worst for profits but Coraline was the ONLY one of their four films to actually make back double it's budget, and no more than $124 mil at that. I highly doubt Studio Laika would still be around if it weren't for their close ties to Nike.
What is the name of the song that you use during your fan art page segment?
I honestly don't know why people liked Sausage Party that much. The jokes are the equivalent to 13 year old's who recently and barely understanding the word "comedy", the animation (though impressive on a certain scale) is like a polished french animation, and had a running time of WAYYY too long; thirty minutes could have been okay and unique to movie standards now and days. Just watch the trailer and you've pretty much watch the whole movie. I personally LOATHE this movie because, along with Suicide Squad, it's ticket sale blew up in the box office, overshadowing Kubo. I swear if Sausage Party is even nominated for the Oscars, or any other award, I'll just give up hope for 2017! Maybe the entire world!
But that doesn't make the movie any better
Right?
Robert Cantu I thought Sausage Party was a good movie. It was finally nice to see an animated movie in a theater targeted towards adults instead of kids.
But that's like getting a 2-D animated movie in a long time, but it's not good. It wasn't what we wanted and disappointed a lot.
Robert Cantu Didn't disappointed me, I really enjoyed it. Most of the people I know who saw it, enjoyed it too.
8:44 If Comcast successfully acquired Fox instead of Disney, then it would've happened...
Pan would you ever review the weird discovery kids animation like Growing up Creepie or Kid Tut?
I loved Kubo and the Two Strings. I saw it with my boyfriend and we loved it so much

The problem with kubo is the screaming babies at the theaters
I watched Kubo today and loved every second of it
I especially loved the flawless movement of the paper and the post credit scene of the guardian of the sword unbreakable
While everyone was watching "The Boss", My friends and I watched "Hardcore Henry" on its opening night. We had the theatre room all to ourselves.
We had so much fun the manager came in to check that we weren't burning the place down cause we were so loud.
Kubo and the Two Strings is the Titanfall 2 of animation
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE NUMBER 1 SPOT WELL DESERVED
How Kubo was unsuccessful:
Weeaboos.
But more importantly, people Whining about Weeaboos...
Actually i think it was the marketing. Only saw like two damn posters for the thing.
