Seinfeld Is Unfunny/Western Animation: Difference between revisions

** When you watch the behind-the-scenes features about ''Toy Story'', it's clear that John Lasseter and the late Joe Ranft were aware of this issue. They made sure they put as much effort into the story and the characters as they did into the technology. Which is why people will probably still be watching ''Toy Story'' in fifty years, long after its technology has become outdated.

* [[Tex Avery]] created many jokes and situations in animated cartoons that were once surprising and hilariously funny, but have been imitated and plagiarized so much by other cartoon studios that these jokes can make a modern audience yawn because they are so predictable and overdone. Examples are eyes flying out of their sockets, enormous long tongues, endless chases, characters using sticks of dynamite or dropping anvils on each other, characters walking on thin air before realizing that there's nothing beneath them whereupon they fall down, painted tunnels the hero can drive through while the villain simply crashes against the wall, and so on.

* The first three seasons of ''[[South Park]]'' are fairly tame by today's standards, but they caused a big uproar from the [[Moral Guardians]] in the late 90s.
