Gushing About Shows You Like (Sugar Wiki)/Western Animation: Difference between revisions

* Don Bluth has another gem called [[All Dogs Go to Heaven]]. The premise is amazing, and Burt Reynolds and Dom Deluise are perfect voice actors for the titular Charlie B. Barkin and Itchy Itchiford, respectively. Overall, it is a film that is dark, hilarious, sad, and heartwarming at the same time, a combination that everyone should try. Plus, it is as much for adults as it is for kids.

* ''[[Arthur]]'' is ''not'' just a kids' show, and I know I'm not the only adult who loves it. Anyone and everyone can enjoy it, what with the humor, all of the random popular references ("Brain, if you don't stop, you'll turn into a guy who sneaks around in the rafters dropping chandeliers on people!", not mention parodies like Henry Screaver and Persimmony Glitchet), the lessons that aren't completely full of [[Narm]], and awesome occasional celebrity appearances (my favorite is Art Garfunkel as The Singing Moose). Some people write it off as a family-friendly version of ''[[The Simpsons]]'', but it has its own style. Honestly, some of the humor (especially the more subtle [[Shout-Out|Shout Outs]]) gets funnier when you become an adult:

* ''[[Transformers]]''. Especially ''[[Beast Wars]]'' and ''[[Transformers Animated]]''. You get action, interesting characters, and the kind of coolness that can only come from [[Transforming Mecha]]. All this, and possibly one of the best toylines of the modern age to back it up, making [[Merchandise-Driven]] a blessing rather than a curse.

** On the subject of [[Transformers Animated]], it deserved a lot less complaining around the beginning. The characters and plotlines won over quite a few naysayers(this troper included). I defy you not to find [[The Big Guy|Bulkhead]] [[Gentle Giant|very very huggable]] or Prowl [[Ninja Pirate Robot Zombie|ridiculously cool]]. And Optimus gets some surprisingly awesome moments(Endgame, 'nuff said). The 80's kids can keep their G1, I'll be happy with my Animated. <333

* ''[[Freakazoid]]'' is funny. What more do you need?

** Mention that it's a children's show that features former President Clinton, Princess Diana, Bill Gates (who can be mentioned by name because he's a close friend of [[Steven Spielberg]]) and even Henry freaking Kissinger. That's what I need.

* If there's only one E/I cartoon you should watch, it's Warner Bros' ''[[Histeria!]]'' The producer of ''[[Tiny Toons]]'' and ''[[Animaniacs]]'' brings us often-hilarious sketches based around historically important events and people, and you gotta love that wacky group of singing children known as the ''Histeria!'' Kid Chorus, 'cause if you honestly don't, you've got serious problems.

** Not to mention that when they weren't [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]] they were running the radar over with a steamroller, or dropping the network censor onto a naval mine. Literally. "Alright, damn the torpedoes it is!" indeed.

* ''Over the Hedge'' derserves a lot more love - it's one of the few non-Disney movies with heart, charming character designs and beautiful animation all the way through. The celebrity voices aren't half bad and the characters (both animal and human) aren't Ink Suit Actors! One of Dream Works' better movies.

** Aren't Half Bad?!?! The celebrity voices ''make'' that movie! Bruce Willis as R.J.? Awesome! William Shatner as the dad opossum? Hysterical! The [[Crowning Moment of Funny]] in that film is when William Shatner explains the possum philosophy:

*** I read the original comic strip for about two years before the film was announced. The movie made me laugh more. And you're talking to a guy who sees the flaws first in adaptations and never sees the point of them. (To be fair, yes: ''[[Coraline (animation)|Coraline]]'' was awesome too. One more statement like that and my "Snob" badge will be revoked, but I could care less.)

* What, nobody gushing over ''[[Invader Zim]]''? The rapid-fire social satire and [[Sadist Show|perpetual mean-spirited humor]] that blend the low and high brows of comedy makes for a series that will never, EVER fail to entertain.
