COMPLETELY? She is not COMPLETELY off model. Maybe slightly.

I can remember watching 2 cartoons when I was younger and thinking to myself that the characters looked different sometimes. They were Tiny Toons and Timon & Pumbaa. And it wasn't just the way the characters were drawn, but also the way they were animated.

Tiny Toons, though, had like. 3 or 4 different ways of animating didn't they? you had animation like in the summer vacation movie thing, compared to the kind of animation that was in the episode about Honey.

Dammit, I wish I had that Honey episode!

Those Lion King cover changes are NUTS! On or off model, at least use the same picture for VHS and DVD!!

The Beast as a prince is really off-model in the last couple of shots of the movie.

Yeah, I think I might have noticed that!

You see his profile and it just looks...weird. Way too angular.

What exactly is this about?

Well, it's not Bluth per se, but the Thumbelina company that was set up to make that film.

It seems, non too surprisingly, that the company did not pay all artists invoices after production was snapped up and bailed out by Warners.

As we know, Goldcrest lost money on Bluth films, as did WB until they took Pebble And The Penguin away from him and finished it cheaply.

Bluth's films didn't return any investment from after All Dogs onwards until he hooked up with Fox Animation, although those who worked on those productions should have been paid by Sullivan-Bluth.

Obviously, some were not and this is their chance to make a claim...

I'm not sure but I think this is partly at the root of the generally anti-Bluth sentiment there seems to be in the animation community, or at least animation professionals. At least that's the feeling I get.

Well, they don't like it that he struck out on his own (and made a decent go of it at first) and then they don't like it that he failed and his company still owes money.

I wonder if he shouldn't try and get back in to Disney...they could certainly do with his talent and he could certainly do with their quality and budgets!

Many years ago I saw on tv a horror cartoon, around halloween, maybe on the Sci-Fi channel. I have been looking to find out what it is, but I have had no luck. It was very gory, and I think it had a wolf, and I guess the three pigs. I think the wolf ended up killing all the pigs, but I just remember that it upset me as a child. I would appreciate any help in finding the name of this cartoon! Thank you!

Dude! I know what you're talking about!

It was an episode of Tales From The Crypt. Bobcat Goldthwait was the wolf. He ends up killing all the pigs except for one. The surviving pig ends up going to court for some reason. And...that's all I can remember.

It was pretty disturbing when I first saw it. It was probably the first animated thing I ever saw that looked like that. Extremely gory.

Oh yeah...Welcome to A-N! ^__^

Thank you! Now I just have to track that episode down. I've been trying to find cartoon horror movies and all I've come across were the atrocities of Terror Toons or Evil Toons. I like this place already.

You're welcome!

I've never found so much information about everything I like in any other place.

Well...except for I-Kronos, but that site kinda fell apart a long time ago. Right Brandon? =P

That would rule. Don Bluth owns in my book. His movies are totally unique.

I really don't get all the "backlash" against him. I think a lot of it is envy....

Actually, if you really want to talk off-model, you should check out how Sinbad: Legeond of the Seven Seas advertised for the film. They had these posters with the characters and they were PURPOSELY altered to look like the stars who played them. (they looked terrible.)

I loved this film but that's got to be the dumbest idea I've ever heard. I think also had to do with why this movie tanked. (among other reasons, mostly the other terrible ads for this film, remember the one with Spike and Baskin Robbins?)

AHHHH....the agony:
