    The show started production in 2019, before the controversy came out. Ellen DeGeneres is an executive producer, though the show is created by Kevin A Lehman II (who wrote on Ellen's show) and Jennifer Skelly (who's written for other preschool shows, which this show is). Still, it has Ellen's name plastered all over it, including the marketing, so it's no surprise this would get a polarizing reception.

    Honestly, I think it's just the context of Ellen that kills it... All the sweetness of little Ellen's character, all the things they do in the show to make her likeable, and just the existence of the show in general starts feeling like egotistical self congratulations to someone who doesn't deserve it when the show is about and being produced by a celebrity like Ellen, who's now a well known monster of a Diva. It becomes genuinely hard to take ANYTHING in the show in good faith because it all ends up coming across as some kind of kitschy, borderline propaganda-ish vanity project who's very existence is in poor taste. Maybe the show itself, separated from the Ellen brand, doesn't deserve it, but knowing what it is, and what it was trying to do... Yeah... It's very essence has been tainted by the intentions with which it was created. It reminds me of how '12 forever', a very likeable show taken on its own merits, just felt... Gross... after hearing about it's creator's feelings towards real life minors... Suddenly a lot of the stuff in it felt a lot less innocent. Same goes for little Ellen, context makes it all just a little less nice.

    I just don't know how I feel about a businesswoman who's entire brand is "I pose uncomfortably intrusive questions and am gay" (which was my basic impression of her when I was younger, and its only confirmed now) being turned into a cutesy little girl in a little kids' show. I'm all for LGBT rep, as a gay man myself, but turning a celebrity who constantly ties in their sexuality as part of their entire public presentation doesn't sound like a good form of it, especially when the character just _IS_ that person made into a child. Let's at least have it based on someone good. Teach kids that being LGBT is as normal as having a different eye colour, not like being a different species or some sort of permanent-popstar.

      I mean, I Do Not Like her in the slightest, but I feel like anyone who gambles their entire career on coming out is sort of entitled to capitalize on being "the gay celebrity." LBR that label was going to stick to her anyway, whether she wanted it or not. There are plenty of valid reasons to dislike Ellen, like her racism or general shittiness. But let's not pretend she outed herself in 1997 for fun and profit.

    No hate, but no sympathy either.
    Objectively, the cartoon looks pretty good. The design of the main character is super cute, and I would normally be interested in seeing where they go with it.
    However, the knowledge that it's supposed to be Ellen ruins it for me. Everything that would have been cute feels manipulative. Anything that could have been wholesome is instead self-aggrandizing.
    I think that's my main problem with not only celebrity cartoons, but anything with a premise based on someone's celebrity status. It makes me hyper aware that every decision relevant to the creation of the product is done with the intent of making the celebrity in question look better. Even Keanu Reeves in Cyberpunk made me *less* excited to get the game.

      @slayer0235 2 роки тому +6

      To an extent. I think it depends a lot on how involved the celebrity is, whose idea it was, and how they choose to portray them. With Jackie Chan Adventures, they weren’t afraid to make Jackie the butt of the joke or make him play second string to other characters. He didn’t even voice his own character because his accent doesn’t lend itself well to voice acting. I don’t even remember the show calling attention to Jackie’s career all that much, but I do remember a bunch of episodes that were homages to other people’s movies. It’s one of those rare shows where they mostly made all the right calls and can be enjoyed just as much by someone who has never heard of Jackie Chan as by a fan.

    1:10 hey saber, I actually have you a better example than fat Albert if you’re looking for something to equate to little Ellen. Go look up the show “Little Bill”, a show that was based on books written by bill Cosby. It was genuinely a pretty good show that taught some pretty good lessons for kids to learn… the problem arose when the show got permanently taken off air by Nickelodeon in 2014 because of the whole bill Cosby situation (hi, this past part was apparently not true, but I would like to point out it’s one of the only shows I remember from my childhood watching noggin/nick jr that didn’t get put on paramount plus… probably because of the bill Cosby thing, so I mean the previous statement wasn’t entirely wrong). The show was supposedly based on Cosbys late son and not himself, but he voiced a character in the show, helped create the theme, technically created the show, and actually made the books the show was based on.
    I mean if you wanna look at this old cartoon created in 1999 you can, just thought you might be interested since it’s definitely closer to little Ellen in concept.

Like I kinda get it its meant to be an alagory for discrimination and how men have so much more opertunatys then women do, but i was just imagining if a shoe store actually did that and how quickly they'd be out of business, not only from people mostlikly boycotting them due to sexisum, but also just losing money after alienating a big chunk of your customer base

    Honestly, it's kind of a shame. The art looks nice, though the character animation seems pretty basic, and the setting of New Orleans as a base for some kind of slice of life show is great. It's just that seeing as Ellen's apparently a terrible person, that kind of changes the context of the whole show from "cheerful adventures of a kid in N'Orleens" to "origin story of a terrible person", and I don't think folks are particularly jazzed about that concept.

    The biggest reason Jackie Chan Adventures was so good is because it was in the hands of Duane Capizzi, an overlooked MASTER in adaptation of media. And Jeff Matsuda's art is a stellar pairing with his production brilliance. They also teamed up on The Batman and the Men in Black cartoon, and Duane has most recently adapted Carmen Sandiego in what I consider a flawless updated rendition. I have loved this guy's work since forever. He sees the material and knows how to make it so beyond a cash grab, while also never losing the soul of what he's dealing with. Chef. Kiss.

    I think the important distinction between the Ellen Show and, say, the Jackie Chan show is that the Ellen Show is obviously just a narcissistic fluff piece to paint her in an even greater positive light so she can sell herself and her brand to a larger audience. The shows like Jackie Chan adventures is that it was clearly some ninja/martial arts/mystic whatever adventure show, but Jackie Chan was used as the voice of the main character AND used to promote the show during an era where competition between cartoons for recognition/the coveted saturday morning spot was *FIERCE.*
    I guess the best way to sum it up: The Ellen Show was used to market Ellen the person. Jackie Chan the person was used to market the Jackie Chan Show. And that's an important distinction.

I barely even associated it with the comedian after the original specials that (I'm pretty sure) he appeared in. It didn't have the fantasy and world-building of Jackie Chan Adventures, obviously.

    If you ask me, we need more shows like Jackie Chan, not only did they put on their A game, but their writing is top notch too.

    Yeah my mom worked with Ellen a couple times on award shows(Union kids!) and while she never had a directly terrible experience with her, my mother was not surprised when accusations started coming out against DeGeneres. Personally the animation seems quite fine and is really only bogged down by the story focused on someone who is rude and verbally abusive to those around them.

  • @rhedkiex5331

    The nail in the coffin for this show was the branding, not Ellen herself. We see celebrities do awful things all the time, pick almost any celebrity and you'll find people defending their work, even if they don't defend the person themselves (Jackie Chan included, actually)
    But Ellen didn't just tank herself, she tanked 'ellen' the show, and the show extends to the 'ellen' brand. If this show were called 'Lil El' or 'Ellie's Adventures' nobody would care, but they called it 'Little ellen' and used the 'ellen' font. It makes it look like a prequel series! If you hate Star Wars you aren't going to have your kids watch Ewoks, if you hate everything 'ellen' stands for you won't let your kids watch the 'little' version

That never stopped me from watching a show, it's just what I saw.

      And every time, they end up putting the blame on someone or something, who is innocent.
      Because the public never has any patience for a proper investigation and isolating the core issue.
      Instead, they just want immediate cartharsis and kill the first thing in sight.

Any show taking the name of a celebrity though has to know that peoples opinion of that celebrity will affect them; I'm curious if Lighthouse Studios talked/thought about this before releasing the show. Obviously, they don't know everything about Ellen but i'm curious to know if they were prepared for something like this to happen. I think if you're making any animation like this, you have to take that into consideration and be prepared. That being said, they seem like a great team and i hope to see them continue to grow.

    The keys are what the celebrity names the main character and how much screen time the self insert has. Howie didn’t name the show after his childhood ‘Howie’s World’ and by doing that didn’t make it seem like some ego stroke. Instead it just seemed like he was giving a character for the kids rather than just himself. It still was for himself, but he still wanted to make a show for kids. Jackie Chan Adventures was just flat out awesome because it wasn’t JUST Jackie as the main character, but multiple other interesting ones that had equal time in the spotlight. Plus the story was amazing and I was completely hooked...
    Then there’s the ‘little’ saga where things start to get a bit self absorbed. Little Bill was on the edge since Bill Cosby based it off of his own kid rather than himself entirely. It was actually a really good show and I remember watching it when I was a kid, but because his name was affiliated and the allegations popped up, it’s easy to associate it with him. So it’s tainted now and you can’t watch it without thinking about the allegations. Then there’s Little Rosie. Roseanne practically did a nosedive from grace with what she said and so did the show since ‘little Rosie’ is just her as a kid. Whatever. Now there’s Little Ellen. If the main girl were named ANYTHING else and DIDN’T look like a carbon copy of Ellen, I’m certain that the show wouldn’t be as hated as it is now. Maybe even drop the ‘Little’ shit and just use the character’s name that isn’t the celebrity’s actual name as the title or something.
    Moral of the story: If you want to make a show based off your childhood when you’re a celebrity, don’t name it ‘Little [Your Name Here]’

      To be honest if i made an show where i should appear as a main character, i would be the protagonist's flawed mentor instead of THE protagonist, that would be more interesting.

    I'm actually glad you told me the animation studio worked on another cartoon that did well because the entire video my biggest thought was that the animation and colors actually looked really pretty and it's a shame that the effort got wasted on Ellen.

    Alma's Way is a great example of a cartoon based on a celebrity (Sonia Manzano). It's inspired by her childhood and is pretty neat and wholesome. Plus it gets diversity points for featuring a Puerto Rican girl growing up in the Bronx area.

    I feel bad for the staff. I remember a few years ago there was a Loius C.K animated project that was cancelled once some light was shined on his harrassment. So they had months of work down the drain and had to look for another project due to somethinf that had no idea about

      Which is why you shouldn't work for Hollywood. Ever. You'll not only be wasting your talents on something so soulless that it might as well be a zombie, but you'll be wasting everyone's time with the fact that the executives will only see you as worthless and inferior; expendable assets they can utilize to their own greedy desires and nothing else. Hollywood is such a lost cause, it's astounding how people still relentlessly and stupidly hold on to a hope that will never exist for them.

    My mom discovered this show a few months ago and showed me the pilot. I thought it was cute enough, but I wasn't overly interested. I do, however, think it seems like something I'd watch if I were younger. I can imagine young me flopping down on the couch and turning on cartoons, and if this was the cartoon I were to put on, it would be relatively enjoyable. So, it's not terrible at all, just not something I myself would watch nowadays.

    100% deserved, and it's not until just now that I see how messed up this whole concept is.
    "Celebrity worship" is usually just a turn of phrase, but this is unironically exactly what everyone from pharaohs to kings have done - create stories about their upbringing to try and justify their success to the world, especially kids. When it's a fictional character for people to root for that's fine, but here they're making a real person into a protagonist, and to the most impressionable audience possible.
    Jackie Chan Adventures still slaps though.

    I always disagree with people hating on some peace of media because there’s a cancelled celebrity attached to it, like, do you know how many people work on a movie? About 300, do they all deserve to get tanked because of one bad person?

      I felt so bad Roseanne got cancelled after a very sucsessful reboot, because of a racist tweet by Roseanne Barr, but they continued the show without her thankfully. Kind of like two and half men continuing without Charlie Sheen though.

      I think it's fine for someone to choose not to watch something or stop watching something because a celebrity that's done bad things is in it. My problem is with people that try to ban things like The Cosby Show for example or make other people feel bad because they choose to watch something with a controversial figure involved.
      You can either choose to separate the art from the artist or not no one should be forces to do one or the other unless continuing to watch or consume something is somehow directly contributing to something bad and if that is somehow the case the media in question would probably become unavailable to the public.
