This is pretty cool; people are Twitter are forming a movement where they pitch ideas that make better cartoons than the R&S reboot.

Lincoln Garcia
Daniel Harris
You mean pretty shit
Alexander Davis
That sounds stupid.
Chase Gray
How is it shit?
Christian Torres
Landon Sanders
There’s a movie on Netflix with the exact same premise but the person eats animal crackers instead. What’s the conflict even supposed to be over?
Jeremiah Edwards
No it isn’t. People are making a difference
Hunter Green
if this is the kind of shit young cartoonists come up with then I'll go with rebooting old shit.
Cooper Watson
How?
Isaac Peterson
All this hashtag is doing is proving to me why networks are desperate for nostalgia pandering when THIS is the shit that is ending up on their desk as pitch bibles. Before, I thought it was an executive problem. Now I think it's an artist problem.
Jason Ross
Jace Taylor
crying on twitter can only get people fired not hired.
Grayson Gonzalez
I see why Infinity Train went HBO Max
Aiden Wood
See, this shit could've been interesting if they didn't hammer that the protagonist exists for woke points and doesn't actually have any conflict. "I need to learn to love ME because I'M GREAT!" isn't very fucking interesting conflict.
How about just something more thematically appropriate? A girl who is terrified of everything is sent to a Halloween Town where she learns to overcome her fears?
John Hernandez
These all look and sound retarded and gay. fun fact, most of your shit ass lives arent worth watching on tv. No one cares about you or your "issues"
Eli Peterson
W-Why is CB shitting on Mike Judge?
Hunter Price
>Reflect this moment in time
That's the problem. Nobody is interested in a tranny's delusional fantasy of escapism except other trannies.
Anthony Hall
>A less creative Ben 10 cartoon
>making a difference.
Jason Wood
Isn't this just crying breakfast friends from SU?
Ryder James
because Beavis and Butthead aren't gay latina genderqueer social activists and Mike Judge is an old white man.
Asher Long
>R&S and B&B getting rebooted is bad and uncreative
>But you can’t criticize She-Ra and ThunderCats Roar ever!
Fuck these people
Ayden Hill
>struggles of cultural identity
>Booh-hoo I don't know if I should eat my pasta with a fork or with chopsticks my life is so hard boo-hoo-hoo
Henry Richardson
At least post some of the good ones.
Isaac Murphy
a pitch's shittiness is measures by how many words in it takes em before mentioning a superficial identity like sexuality
>young lesbian...
bzzzt. just two, thats a pass
Caleb Nguyen
Someone draw a comic of exasperated execs receiving nothing but garbage and pulling old stuff off the shelf in desperation.
Juan Gonzalez
Literally steven universe
Aaron Morris
Cooper Rogers
>Adventures in Lesbagina is about an Afro-Mongolian non-binary person (assigned female) with dwarfism who travels to a magical land full of women of different colors and cultures, where they make friends and learn about topics like safe-spaces, BLM, trans rights, etc.
Owen Wilson
>Just recently had an article on CartoonBrew where the producers fought Rebecca Sugar over all the gay themes on Steven Universe and constantly threatened it would mean its cancellation
>Tons of aspiring artists pitching nothing but SU-rip offs
YEAH GEE I WONDER WHY EXECUTIVES ARE NOSTALGIA PANDERING
Joshua Torres
Look... if they turned beavis and butthead into a flat chested underage lesbian fan wank with a fat annoying friend and a gay ass furry, Im sure the 13 weirdos and twitter would love it.
Jackson Nguyen
This is gay. Why are people shitting on the new Ren and stimpy? John k isn't even involved.
Gavin Bell
>no colonizers allowed
>features the Mayans who colonized the Olmecs
What did he mean by this?
Liam Price
Because he even exists
Liam Hughes
>A girl who is terrified of everything is sent to a Halloween Town where she learns to overcome her fears?
That is actually pretty neat as an idea. You could tackle the difference between irrational taught fears and genuine deep seated phobias, you could show the character growth from genuine wreck to slightly relaxed as she makes friends and forms a network of support between locals and similar visitors. She could wind up making a business there for helping people in a similar situation to her initial state.
Thomas Morgan
What if Zig Forums came up with a cartoon pitch and actually try and sell it to some execs?
John Phillips
Because...reasons?
I legit don’t know what’s up their ass. Don’t they always defend reboots like TTG and Rise of the TMNT?
Gabriel Diaz
>Hope Park
Wouldn't having two puh-sounds next to eachother be hard to say?
Hudson Robinson
I'll give this person a pass since they're a 16 year old and have some time to develop their idea.
Austin Torres
>Glitch Techs
Why is someone in the industry encouraging this?
Anthony Edwards
why even sell it. Get a group together. Make it, throw it up on youtube and indiegogo it for profit.
Adam Miller
thats a good point actually. something a lot of these pitches are missing... THEME
theres no thematic coherency, theres no interest, theres no motif or large overarching concept holding everything together... theres no reason why THIS quirky little girl has to be in THIS cartoon, as opposed to the other quirky little girl in the other cartoon down the road.
a simple but well rounded and coherent cartoon with a solid hook, theme and a nice catch that makes you ask "but how would THAT play out?" is MUCH more effective than piling on ideas on top of arbitrarily designed OC and throwing em in an arbitrarily designed universe and promising shenanigans will ensue
