Hasbro Expands TV and Feature Film Capabilities with Purchase of Irish Animation Studio Hasbro Acquires Boulder Media Animation Studio (NASDAQ:HAS)
The flash show that was too cheap to have its own backgrounds and used photos instead? Oh yeah, that's a quality animation studio.
Actually it is and the ratings show it since the show been renewed for a sixth season and hasn't even finished it's though the fourth yet. But than again I barely notice backgrounds in TV shows.
Im pretty sure thats the whole point of the show's art direction. It is meant to be random and cheesy looking using a collage of cartoon, photos, CGI, real life imagery, etc. Its the whole point of the show's art concept. It isnt because the studio is too cheap. C'mon seriously??
Yeah, that's one of the things I love about that show. One episode can contain several animation styles (sometimes just for one character) it's really impressive how they mesh them together.
I'll just say my daughter loved Danger Mouse, so if this translates into more media but with Hasbro properties, I'm all for it. Gumball is what the evolution of Ren and Stimpy has become. A kids show targeted for young adults but disguised as a kids show. Right up there with Regular Show.
Gumball is not Breadwinners. They don't use stock images off of the internet. Breadwinners is overall cheap and lazy (not to mention that it also panders to the lowest common denominator by not having creative and layered humor, just fart and ass jokes). The creators of Gumball actually take photos and record videos of real life locations themselves, and then mix a variety of different animation styles and live action into it. Doesn't sound lazy to me. I feel comfortable with the idea of Boulder Studios doing a Transformers show.
They do shows I enjoy I lot like Wander over Yonder so I'm looking forward to what they'll offer to the table.
