Why is it when Disney tries having human characters coexist with their funny animal characters it feels weird, but when Warner Bros does it it feels natural.
Humans in Disney Animal cartoons
Alot of it is in the premise. In the majority of Bugs Bunny cartoons, he's a rabbit: he lives in a hole, he eats carrots, and his arch nemesis is a hunter who wants to kill a rabbit. The same is true for Daffy, Tweety, Sylvester, and so on. Really only Porky stands out as being a "person" rather than a pig.
But mickey mouse is never a mouse. He doesn't live in a wall and eat cheese; he has the shape of a mouse, but he drives around in a car and he often has a job and does people stuff. His nemesis happens to be a cat, but that doesn't appear to have anything to do with why they don't get along: Mickey and Pete are at odds with each other for PEOPLE reasons. Donald and Goofy are the same way.
So we're invited to imagine a world where instead of people, there are animals doing people things. Which works fine right up until you insert some humans, then the whole premise gets weird.
Looney Tunes interacting with humans is like Sonic interacting with Eggman whereas Mickey & Co. interacting with humans feel like the NPCs in Sonic 06. the humans in Looney Tunes are just as stylized and cartoony as the animals whereas the humans that Mickey & Co. interact with both feel and look more realistic
In the case of stuff like Duckman and Sam and Max I guess it works because it establishes they’re worlds as being really strange and surreal.
Didnt feel that out of place on Timon and Pumbaa TAS.
Because they aren't as relevant so when they do show up it feels surreal.
Because you're an idiot. It doesn't feel weird to me. Among the universal characters, Donald Duck has had humans since his classic animated shorts. Goofy in some shorts also interacted with humans. It's Mickey who has never had humans in his classic material.
Anyway, it never felt weird.
The closest thing to a prominent human classic Disney short character is the Park Ranger from the Humphrey Bear shorts
You seriously don’t get it do you?
Does Yensid count?
I prefer humans like the Giant
Like says
You don't see Timon and Pumba facing ''human problems''. They're treated as animals unlike characters like Mickey Mouse.
What is this from?
But they kind of do. In the series at least, sometimes they are just animals beeing hunted, sometimes they interact with humans like normal people and do human stuff, buy things etc.
Carl Barks did it so it's okay.
There were humans in goof troop's world?
Because most of their funny animal shows have shaved dogs taking the place of humans.
What's the point of those flesh colored dog creatures at all if humans actually exist?
I never got why the dogs had to be flesh colored in the first place, I always thought it just looked fucking weird.
It's weird because Pete and Goofy are black just like Mickey, but then Duck Tales rolls around and suddenly there's a bunch of these freaky flesh colored dogs everywhere as a stand in for humans... and then Goof Troop comes along and makes Goofy and Pete flesh colored from the neck down, it's fucked up.
I'm glad nu-Duck Tales made a joke about how weird the concept of humans would be in their world.
I can’t think of a single pig trait that applies to Porky, other than being kinda fat. I don’t even think anything’s ever tried to eat him other than monsters unlike every other non-predator character
I liked that some of the humans just look like Kent Powers too.
I personally headcanon that Goofy’s family is the equivalent to black in the Goof Troop universe
But there are already brown colored dogs in the disney toon-verse.
There's powerline in the goofy movie, Dijon in the Ducktales movie, and probably a wealth of incidental background characters that don't come to mind immediately.
Its always stupid when the main characters are animal and all the background extra/side-characters are humans.
>then Duck Tales rolls around and suddenly there's a bunch of these freaky flesh colored dogs everywhere as a stand in for humans
fucking retard
I don't mind it, I actually prefer it that way. It's when there's a huge stylistic clash that I have a problem, or, in the case with disney, they already set up the flesh colored dogs as stand ins for humans.
Yes yes I know they were in the comics first, go sniff your own farts.
They were also in the fabled animated shorts that you comic hating retards love so much.
>Really only Porky stands out as being a "person" rather than a pig.
Because Porky predates Elmer and he and early Bugs were originally just drawn as two generic cartoon body types of the day. One was big = the enemy, one was skinny = the underdog. There wasn't much in-world logic to them being animals other than it was very easy to add distinguishing features to the same three body types by adding a cat tail or pig ears.
Porky hunting Bugs would eventually mold into Elmer Fudd, which is why they are nearly identical in design except for one has pig ears, a snout, and hooves and Elmer has human features.
I decided to go with that in a project I’m working on, it helps main characters stick out that much more.

and the islands on the pearl of wisdom in classic ducktales, btw any screenshot of the native girl?
