They were respected.
Learn English
But the term "respected decade" is English.
"Respective." The word you are looking for is "respective."

Which era was better overall for animation?
Laura from Hamtaro and one of the Love Lives (I don't know which).
I just hope it's a return to bigger budgets for TV cartoons. And also the censorship noose being loosened. And I guess it's about time for people born in the 80's/early 90's who have fond memories of great 90's shows to enter the business and try to make it more like that instead of all the bullshit we're had in the past 10-15 years.
Wouldn't it be great if the "defining style", or at least one of them, of the 20's ended up looking something like Gargoyles or all those 90's Marvel shows instead of something about the same as the 10's CGI style or cheap shit 2D style? When is that style gonna come back?
I hope some revolution in toys happens that makes kids actually buy them again and the toy boom results in another 80's-like cartoon boom.
>1990s
>fucking Buster Bunny
>not Ash/Pikachu
I mean I know this is a bait chart since it's got a Live for 2010, but still
Same, comes with the territory of being patrician
Nozomi Tojo, she's Yabba Dabba Grrrreat.
No that was started by high quality Japanese animation (Gummi Bears, DuckTales'87 and Tiny Toons mainly), Braking the mold with The Simpsons (Tracey Ullman) and Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures, Don Bluth and his efforts to get Disney back into shape with Roger Rabbit and The Little Mermaid through his movies.
Thats what started the 80s cartoom boom, not toys.
This is not a games chart, Buster Bunny & Nozomi Tojo mattered a truck lot and it's not a bait chart.
This will please you.

as far as i can tell the history of animation is:
old fleischer, disney, warner brothers, metro-goldwyn-mayer films-->
a few french films from the 70s and 80s-->ghibli (and a couple other anime films), disney renaissance-->pixar
maybe throw in some token stop motion films from jan svankmajer and nick park
tv animation is substandard and should not be considered canonical
so am i missing anything important
Gummi Bears, DuckTales'87, The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Tiny Toons, Animaniacs and The Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries will like to have a word with you.
Good taste.
why is this surprising? it's when all of the great classic tex avery, chuck jones, and disney films came out. classics that are the top of the medium and still informing the art today
these are all good for tv shows but they're not up to the same standards as a single film that takes several years to produce. also the content in most of them is very silly and childish even compared to the disney movies that were being made at the time
Not true, those TV shows were extremely sophisticated and had near feature grade animation, that did things that even Avatar The Last Airbender wouldn't do with a 35 and a half foot pole.
Notice the team "Near feature grade".
>near feature grade animation
you sure about that? animators were certainly skilled and knew what they were doing, but they're still not nearly as smooth, dynamic and detailed as even feature films produced 50 years earlier
>that did things that even Avatar The Last Airbender wouldn't do with a 35 and a half foot pole.
not a very high bar honestly. i don't see what's so sophisticated about them. it's mostly silly adventures and the kind of wacky humor you expect out of cartoons. i get that they often insert subtle jokes for adults, but it's not like they're especially clever, people just respond to the novelty of such things being in kids' cartoons
This says otherwise.
youtube.com
They were very sophisticated and it's the execution that made it work.
they might be giants sucks though and that video is just typical cartoon slapstick with animation that's above average for tv
TMSfag, leave at once
No they do not, that was one of their best projects and the animation was near feature grade.
More near feature grade animation.

some of these are cute but you can forgive me for not having my mind blown.
So in short...
>People who care about animation ignore TV animation at all costs.
people who care about animation can watch lots of stuff, but as far as the central canon of the medium goes, it's all films. how many people will still care about the animaniacs in hundreds of years? maybe a few hyper-specialized cultural anthropologists and media historians, but things like classic disney films, looney tunes/merrie melodies shorts, ghibli films, and more recently some pixar films, along with a few others, are permanent masterpieces of the medium that will be enjoyed by many for ages to come.
That was due to the stigma of cartoons at the time, it was thanks to that stigma however that writers and animators were able to sneak some adult stuff into kids cartoons cause parents would write those shows off as safe baby cartoons.
>How many people will still care about Animaniacs in hundreds of years?
Billions, thats what.
>1900's-1910's Stone Age
Any noteworthy cartoons from the stone age?
>Near feature grade
That covers a lot of ground. Bionic 6 is an example of high quality tv in the 80s but that might have more to do with the fact that TMS did the show vs. an overall trend.
True.
