Alright this will probably die out before the night ends but here goes. Since, and I can't stress this enough, ALL cartoons on the west are utter poopy I have to ask. If you had the ability to make a cartoon what would you make?

Let me add you can bring in your own crew to do work and have a decent size budget so you can hire actual voice actors.
Asher Young
A faithful adaptation of the Lost Children chapter of Berserk, with animation style similar to the Don Bluth films like Secret of NIMH, and a really good emotional score. I mean an actual decent soundtrack, too often that part gets half assed lately. No idea who I'd use as voice actors.
Aaron Davis
A kid friendly version of lord of the flies
Jeremiah Evans
Camp Weedonwantcha is kinda like that. Super cute.
John Morgan
So I've been thinking about this for 7 years now and even got copyrights for when I eventually put together a studio.
Cartoon name: Perfect World
Spans 8 seasons, 3 movies and the story is told in the most ass backward way but it actually works towards the benefit of storytelling as it keeps the story within the first main character's perspective.
Starts in the middle of the universe's Timeline.
Setting: The planet is the bud of a super massive space flower. The planet is a complete desert sans a small ocean at it's corner. Populating it are 24 cities, 6 of the cities ruined, and the Citadel(Allegorical tower of Babel but also israel and also technocracy) The first 2 seasons of the show are wacky kid friendly adventures with very few moments where the tone shifts to seriousness. The overarching mythology of the show is something like modern occult resurrects christianity through Internet culture and gnostic axioms.
The primary races of the world are humans, Enoch(Technocratic immortal scientists that invented the universe, but also allegorical jews) Nephilim (Half breed Enoch born through emanation but an analogy for hipsters and zoomers) Demons, frogs, Palofic (They look like greys but are plutocratic hive mind plutocrats)
24 cities, within the undercity of all cities reside an angel. An angel is a being of pure energy that can shape reality on a whim. Without an angel the cities become sand, one with the infinite desert.
The Enoch aspire towards creating a perfect world and basically run a one world government. By a perfect world I mean down to the laws of physics perfect they use a tower of babel to intercept thoughts from god and inject malware code to reorient reality itself.
Theres tons of lore but I'll stop there and actually the story and just the maincharacters who switch between roles of protagonist and antagonist through out the show.

Season 1:
An Enochian named Edose is tasked with bringing a suitcase filled with several million dollars to fund a project for creating an artificial angel. His (for now) chid like companion who appears to be the age of 16 but was just recently born for the purpose of becoming an angel treks with him through the desert to City Polite, a dystopic city saturated in politcal correctness, to become an angel. He is unaware of this and for all he is aware of this person, Edose, he is traveling with is his younger brother. This person's name is Kadaumy, the main character. Shenanigans happen and they lose all the money burnt away. Edose lies to Kadaumy, saying that was their uncles inheritance and to honor his memory they have to get back the money. Edose is a super genius and Kadaumy is an experimental human of god like potential. They spend the entirety of the first season working wacky wageslave odd jobs to pay off this debt. Throughout their adventures they run into the corrupt machinations of the city they live and every episode they are fired from their jobs for doing it too well and making the city a better place for everyone in a society that thrives upon complacency and corruption. They also meet the other two main characters of the show Icarus and Samael who's duo serve as a foil to the Kadaumy and Edose and are best friends someone winding up in close proximity for to eachother for most of their jobs. Icarus is an autistic blue pilled mute that can't function if he's not wearing headphones with music playing. Samael is an undercover trickster god of fire with a history of being a custodian for dieing civilizations. Samael works government jobs and forces Icarus into not being neet by bringing him along as his apprentice for his jobs.
And that's just season 1! After season 1 and 2 is season 3 which is the creation story of the universe and season 4-8 is the true bulk of the story. It goes from wacky odd job adventures to dancing the dance of heathen gods.
Landon Anderson
Great now I'm sad knowing this will never happen. Sound like a great idea.
Dominic Barnes
In the deepest part of my heart probably a mix of something between goosebumps and South Park. Something for kids, but not honor roll kids that kid getting F's that wants something cartoons but also adult. Something he shouldn't see, but wants to.
Sebastian Nelson
Because the story is told through Kadaumy's perspective. A lot of the plot is shrouded in mystery and as contradictions crop up the question will enter the Audience's mind just who is Kadaumy, who is Edose, what are they really doing in this city. And as the audience is drip fed clues the rug is pulled underneath everyone when Kadaumy makes it clear during the climax of season 1 that he has been well aware of what he is. That his relationship with his brother is a farce. And what they've been raising money for. Kadaumy's love for his brother is what compelled him to come this far towards apotheosis.
The problem with apotheosis is that an angel cannot be matured, or attached to the world. So Kadaumy's memories will become wiped as he goes through the process.
Edose's purpose for making an artificial angel is so the Enoch will make a giant leap forward in being able to create the perfect world since they will have complete control over a functioning angel. When the the world becomes perfect the world that came before season 1's setting world the Arpanet will be defragged. Edose's real brother who is trapped in fragmented corruption will be free. Though at the sacrifice of Kadaumy who was made in Edose's real brother's likeness. Their relationship being real and built upon love when they finally come to face the decision.

Don't know what it would be about but I know what I want. Character designs just detailed enough to look pleasing close up but not realistic, detailed painted backgrounds, tight fov for uneventful shots, tight simple movements for calm scenes and loose/smeared movement for action. Heavy focus on ambience and lighting, heavy audio immersion, minimal music. Subtle expressions and reactions, a character's intentions and feelings should be interpreted not spelt out except in extreme cases. I don't care if it's episodic, or if it's funny, as long as the themes themselves are mature, like the concepts of loss, starting over, feeling ignored, and all that complex shit that kids grow up not knowing how to handle. The world and events can be wacky, whatever, but the main characters should not be.
No singing. And absolutely no pandering to politically related issues ever.
Grayson Rogers
>it's a thinly veiled Yea Forums b/a/shing thread
Ehhhh. I'll let it slide this time OP, ya enormous fag.
But, to answer your question, I don't know exactly what the series would be about, but I'd like it to have that feeling of an epic adventure. I really like the Tangled, Wakfu and Oban Star-Racers, so something akin to those. Something where the protagonist has to gather a posse, either at the start or along the way (or both), they grow more tight-knit along the way and have to learn and grow as people and as the role they play in the big thing. It's just very rare to see this done right, both Wakfu and Tangled suffer from inane filler episodes although they do have good character building episodes in there as well.
David Powell
I'd probably make my cartoon idea:
A teenaged girl stuck on a nonfunctioning space base has to MacGyver together a halfway functioning spaceship to get her best friend - and the only other person on the base - the princess of a now conquered empire of honey bee people, to a booming metropolis in order to get her necessary medical treatment. However, our protagonist is deeply insecure because unlike her parents - a famous engineer and his wife, a beautiful and talented paychic - she's a fat, hairy, socially awkward retard with no social skills who is shit at math. The only thing propelling her past her immense self loathing is the knowledge her friend will die unless she can escape orbit, transverse the asteroid belt, make it past the Evil Space Empire's forces trying to hunt down her friend, her friend will die a painful death. Along the way, she discovers to her horror that she is being hunted by an Inspector Javert-esque overzealous Wasp-alien-man military commander from the Evil Space Empire. Although his honor is unquestionable, he's a fanatic with no empathy for her whatsoever. To make things worse, our protagonist discovers that no only did this guy likely kill her mom, but he has arrested her father, who is being shipped to Evil Space Empire's home planet for excution. Will she follow through to save her friend? Will she try and rescue her estranged father? Will she even live to make a choice?
Pic sort of related.
Xavier Brooks
I'd make a fast paced yet mysterious action sci fi 'cause Half Life 3 is never gonna happen so I make my own equivalent. The action and choreography would take notes from the John Wick movies.
Gabriel Williams
I'm a boring fuckwad, so I'd just make a simple adventure-comedy cartoon.
it would be very lightly fantasy themed with a small cast of characters. ideally it would be aimed at kids, but the humor would also be a bit more dark and cynical in nature like some of the cartoons I grew up watching. I'm making a comic strip that mostly fits this description. the cast of characters I use in it would be in that hypothetical show too.
Owen Parker
If I had the ability to make my own cartoon, it'd be a mix of Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the Hundred Years War in the backdrop, a touch of Avatar The Last Airbender for the general tone, and One Piece for the adventure focus.
Ethan Torres
Honestly I would just make an R-rated 6th season of Spider-Man TAS. Worked for Samurai Jack, didn't it? And I think many of us could stand to see a hardcore animated threesome between Peter, Felicia and Mary Jane before we die.
Ayden Parker
A remake of animals of farthing woods but try to keep the dark aspects and humor.
David Thomas
>Worked for Samurai Jack, didn't it?
No, it didn't.
Adam Hill
I'd make the planned JLU spinoff where Supergirl goes into the future and becomes a member of the Legion of Superheroes. I would get the original writers and hope that Dwayne Mcduffie had a stash of unused scripts somwhere.
Landon Allen
The Pirates of Dark Water was never finished properly, but at this point, the series is so old, it might just be better to reboot it.
Elijah Evans
Dinosaur fantasy series.
Julian Bell
Oh come on man we got some nice Ashi lewds and porns out of it. Do you seriously watch cartoons for anything other than cute nudist girls? In 2019? Come on.
Jeremiah Rogers
Like Cadillacs and Dinosaurs?
Christopher Clark
I'd make something fun like the old Disney/WB theatrical cartoons with self-contained episodes of wacky slapstick, fun character-based humor and shit that you can't have on kids shows anymore like alcohol, cigarettes, implied suicides and sex jokes (but not full on edge like Family Guy or Adult Party Cartoon). Give it some painted backgrounds and actually good animation and there you go. There's probably a market for that, right? Adult Swim would probably take it.
Grayson Nelson
The Silmarillion as a miniseries with Bakshi-style art and animation, but with actual writing and voice acting talent.
Adam Wright
Story of a fallen noble kid as he goes from a petulant arrogant brat to prisonor as his family's teritory is distroyed and sacked by a rival empire thanks to the betrayal of most of his family's key supporters and the betrayal of his wizard uncle.
He escapes the prison by learning and using the very same magic his uncle used before his betrayal.
Now knee deep in enemy teritory he has to fight his way out and get his revenge on the ones responsable for his imprisonment.
Cameron Young
Trigun did it better
