Uhhh I know I don't talk a lot about my real life here but next week I'm starting an animation class at my school and while everything's confusing and scary right now I'm elated. I've been wanting this for years. I really want to make the most of this chance.

Hey 2020 first Cuphead and Looney Tunes and Animaniacs and then Trolls 2 and now Neopets TV show what else do you have in store

Things Mario has got in common with old cartoons:

- Main trio of characters are hero, bad guy, damsel in distress

- Many different roles and situations per game (Mario as a carpenter, as a plumber, as a soldier, as a doctor... / Mario in space, in the races, playing golf, in the real world...)

- Funny whimsical land where everything has eyes

- Continuity is very loose

- Round shapes

- White gloves

I think the reason Looney Tunes feel "out of place" in a more domestic, educational, or "friendly" context is that we associate them with frenetic, zany, slapsticky action (not to mention almost all relationships between the characters are antagonistic)

It's kinda like the opposite of Mickey trying to look "cool" (I made a post about that). I can and do see Mickey and his friends in children's books about farming or dinosaurs or whatever.

It is bizarre to see the Tazmanian Devil being used to make a point about rainforests.

Do I find edgy Mickey and friendly Looney Tunes amusing? Yes
