Now everything makes sense While I was researching across different networks, I found this screenshot. I’m simply impressed… The Great International Toon-In and The Moxy Pirate Show (the first season of the series) were created with investment from Colossal (Pictures) and funded through Cartoon Network’s promotion budget, like the interstitials, because Cartoon Network didn’t have the budget for producing new shows until 1994. And according to Betty Cohen’s words, it was more expensive than expected. They had faith that Moxy would be profitable, but that didn’t happen. For me, Moxy is a milestone in motion capture, digital puppetry, and CGI animation from 1993. I know it was showcased at several animation festivals and even appeared on TV programs like Splat! on Teletoon or Next Step on Discovery Channel, but being a milestone doesn’t matter if you’re not profitable. The first season of Moxy has 26 episodes — can you believe it? How much did its production end up costing? The first season of Moxy premiered one week after The Great International Toon-In … There was creative freedom, there was a better budget, there was quality. There weren’t tons of complaints like “Moxy’s show is boring because it’s just Flea and Moxy talking about a couch and blah blah blah.” Clearly, Cartoon Network reduced its budget for the second season… Animations from the first season were reused there. Animations from both seasons were mixed together to make them look like different episodes, it lost continuity, and that was with only 10 new episodes because it couldn’t go any further. They also cut the show’s runtime from 1 hour to 30 minutes. A lot of animations were trimmed — how much could really be lost in the process? I know that, for cost reasons, it’s understandable that they canceled it, but it also seems like there were poor decisions and fear of continuing production after the first season. Let it not be said that it was canceled because of low ratings, but let it also not be said that it could have been something big, because it didn’t help that its animated segments were scattered across a library that was already being reused in other anthology programs on the channel. For a cycle of the same episodes repeated over and over, blended together with short films that were already being broadcast in other shows on the same channel. Anyway, that’s my analysis of this interesting information. It’s not entirely “new” information, but it was inaccessible. Please, if anyone wants to form a research team, don’t hesitate to contact me! Haría tanto por lograr hallar un segmento! Pero vivo en el tercer mundo rip
It’s been a bit since my last post haha so as a small update: I FINALLY UPGRADED MY CSP! Which means… I can finally start practicing my animation skills with an application that I’m used to ^^ As a small snippet, I bring you my first ever attempt at animation, its only a very short one, but I really wanted to finally animate my favorite oc Silque! And that’s it for now, so if anyone reads this until here I hope you’ll have a lovely day/night, take care!
Fellow indie animation fans, I was wondering — while I’d always love to write an animated show, a lack of budget and deep fondness for audio drama resulted in me creating a fiction podcast very much in the style of animation. I’ve been told by audio fiction fans that it gives the show a weird, absurd, wacky, etc. quality that they really enjoy. But I’d love to know what the animation world thinks. Even without the art that makes up the core of animation, is it possible to still enjoy a cartoon-ish story? I hope to hear more from a potentially whole new group of fans sometime. Thanks for listening, and sending good vibes and joy to everyone out there in the universe and beyond.
