Why can't Canadians produce any good cartoons series?
Is Reboot a cartoon?
>>81986346
Isn't that show French?
They can make good individual characters, but can't do shit with them.
It's sad really, watching interesting characters in a dead end series.
>>81986346
Because the funding really isn't there anymore. Canadian studios have become the new Korea that American networks farm out their second-rate shows to on the cheap, because the near-complete death of the domestic market has left said studios desperate for enough money to cover their own overhead.
Ed,Edd,n Eddy?
mom was such a milf
i cant remember a time i didn't ejaculate in front of the tv back in high school whenever she briefs them the mission
Supposedly has something to do with cartoons there being funded by the government which comes with a bunch of restrictions and meddling which turn everything into bland soulless crap.
>>81986489
French/French Canadian show
>>81986582
Every channel that broadcasts in Canada has to dedicate some percentage of their airtime to "uniquely Canadian" content. Additionally, if a content creator meets certain requirements they can get a grant from the government to make their next piece of media.
In theory, this is to make sure American companies do not completely dominate weaker Canadian companies within the border. In practice, American companies make a bunch of throwaway junk or outsource to Canadian companies to legally be allowed to operate here, and mediocre Torontoian hipsters take advantage of the government grants because anyone with legitimate talent moves to the States ASAP.
>>81986793
What this guy said plus the fact that Canadian networks spend as little as possible on local content in order to have more money to buy american made stuff.
>>81986582
>>81986793
>>81988476
to be uniquely Canadian, I heard they're not allowed to outsource the animation either like American studios do. So that's why they're stuck doing it as cheaply in easily as possible using cutout animation through Flash and Toonboom.
I actually unironically LIKED Johnny Test, so fuck you!
>>81986346
I loved that show...I mean, I haven't seen it in years, maybe it doesn't hold up as well as it does in my mind.
Also holy shit was she always that sexy?
>>81988671
if that's the case thats a huge reason
>>81986436
Reboot was fucking excellent. There are some episodes that don't hold up, but for the most part, perfection.
>>81989057
Diana was fine too
>>81988739
I remember the first season or so was ok but after that the ship sank like a fucking rock.
As others have said, Canadian animation is largely an artifice beholden to public financing, in effect mirroring the protectionist media industry practices of European countries like France and Germany.
Nevertheless, Tina is best girl.
>>81986612
Wait, was this show originally a french show that they dub over in English then? I used to watch Fred's Head in French, but I never thought about this one.
Also Fred's Head is decent, as well as (at least partially) produced in my home province.
>>81989431
>Everyone EXCEPT the main characters
wHY!?
>>81989168
The episode where she is turned into a monster awoke.... certain things that will stay with me forever.
>>81989486
That show and totally spies completely fucked me up. I was just a young lad watching shows with cute girls in them! WHY IS THERE SO MUCH WEIRD SHIT IN THEM AND WHY DID IT TURN ME ON.
>>81989482
This better?

>>81989168
Fun fact, in the original comic they were fucking
>>81986346
It wasn't terrible but it was annoyingly formulaic. Each episode had the same pacing and did the same things in the same order every time.
>>81991273
Original comic!?
>>81991287
Show is based on an Italian Comic and Martin and Diana are lovers. Some reason they made them half siblings in the cartoon
>>81986346
why does this bitch looking smug
>>81991324
its almost like an anime cliche huh?
>>81991233
yeh, you get used to it
>>81989431
>>81989597
>mfw no season 2
>>81990390
Cerulean86, is that you?
>>81992054
It was weird that they still had her get visibly jealous and outright attempt to cock block Martin at every turn, when she was his "sister" then i found out about the comic and was like "oh"
Funny they made them siblings and left that aspect in.
The Total Drama series and 6teen are also canadian shows that /co/ busts a nut over. Once saw TDI in the states a few years ago and they censored the Canadian flag of an Mcs shirt
>>81989791
As well as insecure as fuck laws that regulate how much Canadian-made programming ends up on TV
>>81992168
I call that the Ben 10 effect.
>>81986346
Maybe all their good talent moves to murica or elsewhere
>>81992971
This is American
>>81989138
I always thought there were levels to it. Like when ytv liked anime it was almost universally stuff dubbed by the ocean group so they could get a bit of credit for Canadians doing the voices.
They even dug up alternate dubs for Dragonball, DBZ and GT done by ocean/blue water instead of the funimation dub.
>>81988739
No buddy fuck you
>>81993155
Joke
Your head
>>81986346
Redwall was great. I think it counts as Canadian.
http://youtu.be/12cabZUMdL4
Most of our good stuff we do in conjunction with somebody else like cybersix, beast wars, clone high, tintin, redwall, ect. The legend of White Fang, and The Racoons are maybe the two best solely Canadian produced cartoons. Most stuff made here is terrible Kevin Spencer tier.
cybersix was great

Excuse you.
>>81992204
Kill yourself
What exactly does "uniquely Canadian" mean?
Do Canadian cartoons require a certain amount of maple leaves, overt politeness, and HON HON HON? Sounds to me like the government is officially demanding the reinforcement of stereotypes.
>>81995727
As in nothing outsourced or developed in conjunction with any studio outside Canada.
>>81993992
And now the theme is playing in my head.
MOM was the shit. Best MILF ever.
OP has either never watched Jimmy Two-Shoes or is just a nostalgiafag.
>>81993341
That one was okay.
>>81986346
They used the entirety of their Devil contract on Ed, Edd n Eddy.
>>81996402
No, he is right. Pretty much all modern Flash-animated shows since 2005 were just fodder for the time schedule. Bad animation, cut-n-past characters, bad voice acting, bad storytelling and most importantly they killed off traditional animation for Canada.
>>81995727
Just the fact that it's produced and made in Canada.
Basically to prevent American shows to dominate the airwvaes.
In theory it's a nice sentiment since you want there to be a difference in show content instead of just copying America's selection wholesale. Also it's most likely there to prevent American companies from throwing money at Canadian stations to push out /real/ Canadian shows off the air.
But all we get are 90% shit Flash animations and Canadian variants of American shows (e.g. Top Chef Canada). It's not working as well as people would hope.
>>81996959
Then why doesn't the industry actually experiment with better quality instead of making shitty ripoffs or really bad content?
>>81997058
Because the execs in charge of most companies don't care as long as there are kids watching it. And kids will watch anything.
There's a sad reason Johnny Test is still around.
>>81997058
No money, no talent.
The other anons already explained it. The competent ones go to the US, and only the bottom of the barrel is left behind to eat up whatever pitiful dregs the Film Board of Canada gives out in grants.
Also apparently people watch and like the garbage anyway. Look at Johnny Test, TDI, Martin Mystery, and Totally Spies.
>>81996866
>EEnE is good
>>81996959
>All flash is bad
Yep. The nostalgia is definitely strong with this one.
>>81997108
A suit is a suit is a suit is a suit no matter what country's he's from.
>>81997058
Even though Canada has a few decent schools almost all the graduates move to the states if they possibly can. The people left behind either couldn't make it there or didn't try. If the only reason they didn't leave is because they lacked the resources, they would be stuck doing the airtime-filling shows or outsourced work.
>>81992928
Wait Ben 10 was a comic? And Ben and Gwen fucked in it?
>>81997137
>The nostalgia is definitely strong with this one.
More like you a retarded millenial who's never known better.
>>81997164
I think he's referring to a sister getting jealous of girls around her brother and doing her best to cockblock.
>>81997122
Martin Mystery and Totally Spies were animated in France dipshit
>>81997137
I'm not the one arguing against Flash, though I think the ease of use and the laziness it allows are detrimental.
But Ed, Edd n Eddy is pretty much objectively good, even if it's not your cup of tea. I don't think anyone could make an actual strong argument against that.
>>81997209
They're still garbage. That was my point.
>>81997200
Oh.
Do sisters actually do this? I don't have one so I wouldn't know.
>>81997265
I don't know. But the first guy was saying he didn't understand why Diana would do it in the cartoon when they were supposed to be "siblings".
>>81997212
And yet no one ever talks about Toonboom Harmony's great capabilities of using tweening-animation.
>>81997245
They're actually good shows man. I dunno what you're talking about.
>>81997122
Also, do you know how fucking life-risking and difficult it is to actually immigrate to the US from Canada?
>>81997548
It's worse the other way around.
Thanks to the refugee thing, people who try to get into Canada via shortcuts like citizenship via marriage are expected to wait 3-5+ years for their application to go through because the government is backlogged with refugee applications.
Does Cybersix count? It's my favorite cartoon and I'm pretty sure it's Canadian.
>>81997693
Not to get into any political shit, but is it actually miserable to live in the US when you compare it to the economic beneifits in Canada?
>>81986346
Braceface
>>81997693
Fucking refugees

>What exactly does "uniquely Canadian" mean?

No creativity can flourish in socialism.

At least I think we're finally going to start getting Super Bowl commercials
>>81993856
The best
>>81999804
That is a terrible face.
>>81989791
That might be true but back in the dayYTV sure didn't.
The third season of Reboot was on YTV, the first two were on ABC but ABC canceled them. The censors were so strict that they thought a kiss between Dot and Enzo on the cheek was incestuous. They also had to give Dot a monoboob. They werne't allowed to use guns either.
That's why the third season had Hex in a kinky BDSM relationship with her brother and AndrAIa and Enzo had giant titties and guns respectively.

Meanwhile in Beverly Hills...
Blame the Canadian Content laws. The government doesn't care about the quality of the shows, as long as Canadian channels have a certain percent of Canadian content.
>>81997740
I think Cybersix was actually a joint Argentinian and Japanese thing, but it aired on Teletoon here. I always thought it was Canadian too. I wish it got a Season 2.
>>82000350
Disregard me I suck cocks. Apparently it's from Japan, Argentian and Canada too.

I have a lot of strong nostalgia for this animated short. I remember a lot of good shorts aired between TV shows but this is the one I remember the most.
I was reading about the author of the original book and it's all pretty much about having limited time due to cancer, and her Grandmother who took care of her who passed away. Maybe I'm the only one who gets so emotional about it due to nostalgia but still have a watch.

The only way you would want to live in Canada or really any country is if your income comes from USA and you get the benefits of being a Canadian citizen.
Canadian health care system is amazing, but if our economy continues to inflate and our GDP continues to plummet then it's not going to last another PM. If you make Canadian money and try to live in Canada you will be miserable.
>>82000929
Wasn't Totally Spies French?
>>81997759
Like what, recession and exorbitant real estate?
Literally the only thing Canada has is its Socialist Healthcare which non citizens aren't eligible for.
Canada is a sinking ship, and its citizenship are blind because they've created this culture of smugness that's secured them, this idea that no matter how bad things get, they'll always be better than the States.

>Canada is a sinking ship, and its citizenship are blind because they've created this culture of smugness that's secured them, this idea that no matter how bad things get, they'll always be better than the States.
You got that damn right. As a French Canadian, I just find it sad and frustrating.
>>82002904
>Quebecois in charge of having correct opinions
>>81986346
Because the Canadian government is retarded and thought making it a mandate that Canadian television have a certain amount of Canadian-made shows on at a time was a good idea. Instead, they just started making shows that could go on indefinitely with the least amount of effort needed like Johnny Test in order to fill that quota.
>>82003061
Don't think I wasn't aware of the irony.
A lot of times, I facepalm at some of the truly ignorant shit Quebecers say, like this culture of smugness you're talking about.
>>81989486
Holy shit, these two shows are at blame for developing a bunch of my fetishes.

Isn't that show Argentinian? I think Italy kicked back some funding for the show, or comic distribution, but I'm not sure.
Y'know what was a good showDetentionaire
