Very random question - in Big Boogey Adventure, how come the Billy robot has a cool 3D model that only gets used in one shot in the cold-open? Was it planned to be used in more shots but it was decided that just drawing it for the rest of the movie would make more sense?
To save money, studios will often make you use two or even three overseas studios or the same time. The idea (I think) is that you're getting some time from an "A" or "B" team at an "A" studio, and those episodes will help hide the "C" team from the "C" studio's work. Whatever the reason, the process makes quality control more difficult than it needs to be. Usually within an episode or two, you know which studio is going to be working for you and which is just going to make everyone's lives harder.
For Grim & Evil, we used Digital eMation for Evil Con Carne. ECC was the "middle cartoon", and therefore got less focus so I'd given that show to eMation almost in its entirety. They were an unknown quantity and I wasn't sure I trusted them with the main act, but over time they put out the best work. By our third season, I had eMation take over entirely.
eMation was hungry and eager to show what they could do, and that sometimes included surprising me with little treats. Since eMation started as a digital company, they had a solid 3D pipeline when we started working together. The Billy-Bot was something that eMation chose to do, and I thought it was cool so we kept it.
Our relationship strengthened, and eventually I even asked them to build some 3D models for Underfist's action scenes.

What happened to Korean animation???
I can not stress this enough, but what is it with the Korean animation on most Burbank-made cartoons produced after 2015 looking so… slow and stiff???
There're LOTS more on 2s animation timing... and less inbetweening, while characters, props and effects are not as loosely drawn as they used to be before 2016.
Look at this example below of what a modern cartoon looks like when animated in Korea:
Tumblr media
Bernard Williams ain't selling the acting well now; is he?
That episode of Craig of the Creek, "Creature Feature", was made in 2020; it was animated by Rough Draft Korea Co., Ltd. — an animation studio founded by Gregg Vanzo as a cheaper means for quality animation on none other than The Ren & Stimpy Show (Don't believe me? Thad Komorowski will tell you).
He's moving too slow. This shot is all on 2s. His arms move stiffly, and his head bobs up and down just a little bit. It doesn't sell the specific emotions he's expressing as richly as they could... compared to something like classic Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon shows of the past. The overseas animators should listen to the audio track, the recorded dialogue. That's what they did on on Ren & Stimpy!
Now let's go back 10 years before Rough Draft animated that episode of Craig of the Creek... to the Sym-Bionic Titan episode "The Phantom Ninja":
Tumblr media
LOOK HOW LOOSE AND SMOOTH THIS LITTLE BIT OF ANIMATION IS!
This level of Korean animation quality was normal for TV cartoons back in the 2010s.
This one shot has a healthy balance of on 2s animation and on 1s animation.
It's just Ilana Lunis and Octus doing a bit of a... I don't know... a shrug... giving Lance a certain look. Not even talking in this shot, nor is it an action sequence, and this little bit of acting looks far better than Craig of the Creek ever animated in general.
Rough Draft also animates on Spongebob and they're struggling but usually excelling on the animation quality overseas.
This applies to cartoons made and aired before 2016 where post-2105 episode/content are the same quality as most post-2015 cartoons shows these days that're animated in Korea; examples are Uncle Grandpa, Samurai Jack Season 5, The Venture Bros. Season 6 onward, We Bare Bears Season 2 onward, and even later Disney TVA shows as Amphibia Season 3 and Hailey's On It!, though mostly it involves Warner Bros. Discovery-owned properties (Turner ones namely).
May be that Korean animators just need a break. The Phillippines can deliver better animation (a bit roughly but still better than Korea for the most part)! Perhaps the Korean overseas facilities need more money... more direction... more communication (as if we could actually afford that with today's gas prices?)
Why not animate domestically here in America? In Burbank? What about rigging (puppetry in 2 dimensions)?
The future of quality TV/non-theatrical 2D animation may be in the hands of Canada's and Ireland's finest riggers. Mercury Filmworks, Boulder Media, Lighthouse Studios, Snipple Animation, and Jam Filled Entertainment can deliver better animation through rigging than Korea can do for most hand-drawn shows!
That is unless it's the Spongebob Squarepants franchise of course... that and Scooby-Doo and Guess Who? and... pretty much anything animated by Yearim or Yeson (most of which are adult cartoon sitcoms with rather restricted animation so as not to distract from their comedic wordplay, since those shows are more script-driven anyway).
I asked some people about the current condition of Korean animation to see what they think about that. Maxwell Atoms had a good bit to say...
The What's in My Head? podcast interview with Randy Myers largely benefited from a question I suggested about the animation quality differences classic Powerpuff Girls and 2016-2019 PPG episodes.
Ariel Vracin-Harrell tweeted that overseas animators often follow the storyboards "religiously", and tiny little micro-poses in storyboards can result in the animation looking "laggy and odd". (Perhaps those Korean animators view the storyboard animatics as key animation?)
Lauren Faust says that you shouldn't animate you storyboards.
I'll expand more on this post later.
Tweet thread version here.

Looks like in 2021 Digital eMation was working on a Scooby-Doo Meets Krypto DTV. Guess it's coming out next year.
And it looks like we're defining getting a return to James Tucker's 2006 Legion of Superheroes!!

Animaniacs Reboot Pinky and The Brain Segments Ranked
Now that I watched all three seasons of the Animaniacs Reboot, I wanted to rank every Pinky and The Brain segment from worst to best and give my brief thoughts on each one. 
In regards to the reboot’s take on Pinky and The Brain, I thought that they did a good job for the most part. While there are certainly some stinkers, there were plenty of enjoyable and intriguing episodes. I do appreciate that this iteration of Pinky and The Brain continues to explore the characters and their relationship, much like the spin-off. While the characterization of Brain was wildly inconsistent in season one, he got a lot better as the show went on, as lowered his emotional guard and displayed his soft side while still keeping his comedic roots. I do not fully agree with the idea of Brain being a super villain, and I felt like some of season one crossed a fine line. Thankfully, seasons two and three toned it down considerably and his villainy was more in a comedic light. Pinky was given a lot more spotlight in seasons two and three, even focusing on his attachment to Brain and his issues. If there’s one issue I have with Pinky in this version, it’s that he was portrayed as too much of a nuisance at times, as he normally was not the one responsible for foiling the schemes. It’s a shame that the show ended in season three because I firmly believe that the show would have continued to expand on these characters if they were given more seasons. 
The biggest issue I have with the Pinky and The Brain segments of the reboot is Julia and her arc. Even though I like the idea of her character and some of the themes (Brain creating his own worst enemy), I do feel that she was poorly handled. It feels like there wasn’t much thought put into the execution of her story and where it was going to go, and I do not find it believable that Brain would try to form a romantic relationship with her. It’s a shame that her story is left unresolved and will most likely remain that way. 
As for things I did enjoy, I liked seeing animation studios like Titmouse, Tiger Animation, and Digital eMation animate for these characters. I also appreciate that the Pinky and The Brain formula still works in the 21st Century. The sharp social commentary is still there, even if their approach is a little different from the 90s (mainly the fact that the humans are aware that Pinky and The Brain are mice). The character designs by Genevieve Tsai are great! I love the small modifications, like Brain’s bushy eyebrows, the bags under Pinky’s eyes and the tip of his tail being bent, and the mice having sharp teeth. The reboot’s version of the Pinky and The Brain opening is fantastic, holy moly! Titmouse and Giant Ant’s work on the animation is simply amazing. I love the addition of thunder and lightening in the first moments, which build up to Brain’s confident declaration of trying to take over the world. I also love the symbolism in the opening when the mice’s tails are entwined and when they try to go their separate paths, they fall apart, which is a nice way to showcase their codependent relationship. Last, but not least, I greatly enjoy hearing Rob Paulsen and Maurice LaMarche reprise their roles again! They both seem like they had a blast voicing these characters again, and they deliver some great performances in the reboot. 
Overall, I did enjoy this iteration of Pinky and The Brain. It’s not perfect (but then again, the characters had their ups and downs in the 90s, especially with Pinky, Elmyra and The Brain), but I appreciate the ambition in the segments. Though there are some misses, there are many hits. Season one had its ups and downs as they were trying to figure out the characters. Season two had a lot more consistency and enjoyable segments. Season three was definitely the best of the lot as their segment output ranged from good to fantastic (in my opinion). In conclusion, the reboot crew did a commendable job of adding to the legacy of these lovable characters and even made some enjoyable gems that I look forward to revisiting. 
32. Mousechurian Candidate
This episode is very divisive among fans. Some folks liked the darkness of this one while others despised it. I’m in the latter camp as I feel like this episode had a lot of interesting ideas but failed to execute them. 
Although I do like the idea of Julia being Brain’s new rival, I despise the story choices made with her, especially since her transformation into antagonist largely relied on making Brain so uncharacteristically detestable and doing things that he never would have done in the original show. So the misogynistic and abusive aspects of the episode made me incredibly uncomfortable. This dark portrayal of the character is especially jarring since the episode after this one, Future Brain, has Brain still retaining his redeemable qualities. So making him completely unlikable throughout for the sake of the story is just bad writing. Additionally, I found Julia in her First Lady/Presidential Candidate mode to be too perfect, which may have been intentional, but I wish that they gave her some character flaws at the start (like being competitive or wanting to be the center of attention). 
The comedy in this one was also lacking. Pinky was barely given anything to do in this episode and there were only a couple of moments where I chuckled at best. This episode is one of my least favorite PATB segments because it feels so overly edgy and out of place compared to the other episodes from the reboot, and it began the very messy and frustrating Julia arc.
31. Close Encounters of the Worst Kind
There isn’t much to say about this one. I found the plot to be very predictable and not engaging. The only thing worth mentioning about this one was the story of how the crew accidentally put in a sex hotline number at the beginning of the episode and how they scrambled to replace it. 
30. 1001 Narfs
A pretty bland episode, if I’m being honest. It’s basically the reboot’s version of “Mouse of La Mancha”, but without any memorable moments and slower pacing. 
29. Pinko and The Brain
As for the Red Scare episode, I felt this one was decent but wasted potential. Although this one has a handful of humorous moments (like Brain swearing), however, the “mice as communism” allegory falls flat when one of the characters actually mentions communism in the episode. I feel like the Red Scare premise would have worked so much better if Brain was accused of communism (as opposed to being a mouse), but Brain would use his trademark honesty by saying “actually, I’m a laboratory mouse” and he spends the episode convincing the politicians that he is a mouse. It has its moments, but it’s not one that I would be eager to revisit. 
28. Babysitter’s Flub
An alright episode. There are some fun moments, like the “love/quantium” bit in the beginning, or Brain rescuing Pinky, and I like how the mission highlights just how small the mice are, but the dark ending soured it for me. 
27. The Prisoner’s Dilemma
I feel like this one has a lot of interesting ideas (the mice being recruited by a league of super villians, a mystery plot similar to And Then There Were None), but it falls flat due to the rushed pacing. There are humorous moments between the mice throughout, but things like Dr. Doppler (aka the Tumblr Sexyman reject) and the visual nods to The Prisoner were too distracting (especially the latter since I kept thinking about The Brainwashed Trilogy) and took me out of the episode. 
26. The Pinktator
A rather predictable episode that’s similar to another episode from the spin-off (”T.H.E.Y.”, which was a bad episode in my opinion), but the comedy does elevate it. The banter between the mice in the beginning and middle is funny, and I do think that Brain roasting the three dictators was incredibly satisfying. I just wish that the plot wasn’t so paint-by-numbers. But I’ll still take this episode over “T.H.E.Y.” though. 
25. The Flawed Couple
This episode is fine. I appreciate the inclusion of Nora as a framing device (and giving her more to do), but this episode largely feels like a “parody for parody’s sake”, and after having learned that this episode was included in season two at the last minute, it certainly adds to the notion that this one feels out of place from the rest of the PATB segments from season two. I thought the first half was pretty solid, but it dragged a bit in the latter half until the reveal that the mice are actually in the lab in the final scene. It’s a decent episode, but nothing to write home about. 
24. Fantasy
The first PATB cold-open in the reboot, and a really fun one. I love the idea of Brain being a wizard (complete with a long beard), and him summoning The Warners to do his bidding only to find out that they’re rebellious. Even though it’s a cute and funny short, I would have liked to see this one play out in a seven-to-ten-minute format, since there’s a lot of comedic potential in pairing the mice with The Warners (The first and last scenes of “Wakkiver Twist” are proof of that). But as a cold open, it’s a good one. 
23. Roadent Trip
A solid episode, if a little uneven at times. The beginning scenes and the first moments of the mice trapped in the car are pretty good, but I felt like the song number drags the episode a little bit. But I do like how it rebounds a bit with Brain deciding to have a heart-to-heart talk with Pinky. Brain’s backstory is easily the highlight of the episode. I love how the scene is treated with seriousness and gives the audience a good sense of why Brain has a lot of control issues and why he is so emotionally guarded. Even though I appreciate that the reboot gives Brain his tragic backstory in a scene that’s played straight, I wish they didn’t undercut the mood ten seconds later with Pinky’s humorous story. 
22. Of Mice and Memes
A great debut and a nice reintroduction to the characters. I thought the comedy in this one was solid, and the social commentary on the nature of internet memes and fads is on point. It embodies what was great about PATB from the 90s and seamlessly transfers it into the modern age. 
21. Ex-Mousina
If you take away some of the weird “wishing for a father figure” vibes from Pinky, then you would still get an entertaining episode. I do enjoy seeing Brain become so endeared to his own invention and finding an equal, the “Bonding” song number is fun, and I love how it ends with Pinky destroying the robot with his own inane question that was set up earlier in the episode. While “Brinky” from the spin-off is much superior, Ex-Mousina is enjoyable as its own thing. 
20. Reichenbrain Falls
As the follow-up to “Mousechurian Candidate”, this one is so much more entertaining. I love the mystery element of the first half in which “Pinky” acts slightly off and Brain, and the audience, then discover that it’s actually Julia in disguise. My issue I have with this one is mainly how the writers didn’t take the opportunity to have Julia call Brain out on what he did to her and instead have her want to take over the world for the sake of taking over the world. Other than that, I do enjoy the comedy and the animation in this one. Even though it does suffer from not expanding on the Julia arc in an interesting way, it’s still an entertaining episode. 
19. Backwards Pinky 
When I first read the plot for this one, I recoiled. I did not want this to retread the awful Pinky, Elmyra, and The Brain episode “Teleport a Friend”, in which Brain was conjoined to Elmyra. Fortunately, this episode proved to be an entertaining take on the conjoined episode trope. I enjoy the design of the conjoined mice, and having their personalities change every so often was amusing as Brain really gets to become silly and Pinky becomes a bit more self-aware. But the thing I appreciate most is how the mice have to work together as a team to resolve the issue. Backwards Pinky is a surprisingly fun episode. 
18. How To: Friendship
A solid follow-up to the first “How To” episode from season two. Even though the first “How To” is superior in terms of comedy, I appreciate how this one branches off from it and mainly focuses on Pinky and how he loves Brain. I love seeing the relationship from his perspective as Pinky genuinely adores Brain and when they fight, Pinky does everything he can to make amends. The ending to this one is incredibly sweet, as the mice reconcile and Brain shows his gratitude to Pinky, both verbally and by still keeping the macaroni photo of Pinky giving him a kiss (and rearranging the macaroni so that the hearts are on top)! 
17. Run Pinky Run
The first time loop episode in the reboot, and a really fun one. I love how Pinky is at the center of this story as he tries to do his best to save Brain. And although Brain is the damsel in distress, he does manage to find his way out of the predicament in two of the three-time loops. I also like how you can see the subtle differences based on the decision Pinky makes. Like stopping at the crosswalk before the bicyclist affects the take-out food delivery, which buys Brain enough time to escape from the snake. Or how watching over the armed truck manages to be the correct choice as Pinky does show up on time with the money. But my favorite aspect of the episode is the ending, as Brain showcases his gratitude to Pinky as they head out of the hide-out. As the first of two-time loop episodes, this one was a great one. 
16. International Mouse of Mystery
As a cold open, this one is a lot of fun. Even though Pinky and The Brain already did a James Bond parody back in the spin-off ( the very funny “To Russia, With Lab Mice”), this version is different enough that I can appreciate it. Pinky’s song and his role as the Bond girl are enjoyable, and Brain in a speedo and having chest hair are also very amusing. Even though the meta-commentary on reboots seems a little late by this point (especially since it’s in the very last episode of the reboot), the delivery was decent enough. 
I also love it when the mice make their own movie or television show, something that we’ve seen in episodes like “Battle for the Planet”, “Brain’s Song” and “But That’s Not All, Folks!” I always enjoy watching the mice put together a low-budget production in the lab. As a short cartoon, it does its job well. 
15. No Brainer
A very fun take on the amnesia plot. Here, Brain forgets the plan he gave to Pinky over the phone, so the mice need to break into the National Security Agency headquarters with the help of Edward Snowden. 
The comedy in this one is great, as there are some humorous dialogue exchanges between the mice. The moment when Pinky tells Brain the plan, who gets excited, only to realize that Pinky is talking about Christmas is amusing. The twist at the end is great with Brain going through this effort to retrieve the message in exchange for returning Snowden’s houseplant only to discover that the houseplant was crucial to Brain’s plan is funny, and is reminiscent of other twist-ending episodes like “Opportunity Knox” or “When Mice Rule The Earth”. This was just a fun heist cartoon. 
14. Bride of Pinky 
A really fun Frankenstein parody. I love Titmouses’s animation as the expressions here are incredibly entertaining. I enjoy seeing Brain’s jealousy and disgust at the romance between Pinky and Drusilla the monster, and how that story is resolved with her leaving poor Pinky and Brain doing his best to comfort him. I also love the aesthetics of this episode as it really embraces the monster movie atmosphere. 
13. How To Brain Your Dragon
A really fun episode. I love that it’s just the mice going on an adventure to find the dragon and having to change their trajectory halfway through. Both mice are great here, and Benedict adds a lot to the episode’s humor with his jolly nature and charisma. 
12. All’s Fair in Love and Door
Definitely the strongest Julia episode despite not featuring her until the end. Even though I have my issues with how Julia’s story was basically born from presenting Brain as a cruel misogynistic abuser, I appreciate that Love and Door did rectify some of those problems, mainly with Brain feeling regret for what he did to her. I find the door being perceived as an allegory for Brain being “in the closet” and trying to maintain a heteronormative relationship interesting. The two issues I have for this one are that I don’t find Brain’s attraction to Julia due to her intelligence to be all that believable (since they barely had any chemistry in her debut episode) and they should have kept the boards of Pinky still being angry and jealous of Brain during the dinner scene. But despite those flaws, there are a lot of things going for this episode. From the amazing animation by Titmouse to Brain trying to shield Pinky from AI Julia, even taking responsibility for his actions when he confronts her, and that beautiful moment near the end of Pinky squeezing Brain’s hand and Brain smiling fondly at Pinky. It’s a shame that the show did not resolve the arc because I feel like had the show continued, I would have liked to see that story conclude with Brain holding himself accountable for his actions and atoning for his sins by trying to help Julia (and her most likely not forgiving him, but him learning to live with that). But overall, All’s Fair in Love and Door does do a good job of balancing comedy, drama, and sweetness into one solid package. 
11. Mouse Madness
An awesome episode. Even though there have been quite a few time-travel PATB stories, this one has the most fun with its premise, as Brain goes back in time to rig a college basketball game so he can earn billions to purchase his own island. But he becomes so invested in the scheme that he messes with the fabric of time with each push of the button. I love the absurdist and even darker elements of each timeline, and it culminates at the very end where Pinky is animated in stop-motion while Brain is animated in flat 2-D animation, which leads to a very soft and sweet conclusion. 
10.  Royal Flush
This episode has grown on me during each rewatch. I love how Pinky, despite being one of the most British Animaniacs characters with his signature cockney accent, finds England to be this strange and foreign place. Brain’s plan of trying to win his claim to the British crown by way of beating the prince at a poker game is amusing. I also appreciate that this is more of a Pinky-centric story that highlights how he feels like an outsider and wants to be close to Brain. It also has one of the cutest endings to a PATB cartoon with the constellation of Brain smiling and winking at Pinky. 
9. How The Brain Thieved Christmas
After learning that reboot would make another Pinky and The Brain Christmas episode, I kept my expectations low. I knew that this one wasn’t going to match the quality of “A Pinky and The Brain Christmas” since that is the gold standard for holiday specials. But at the same time, I figured that their take was going to be infinitely better than the terrible Pinky, Elmyra, and The Brain holiday episode “Yule Be Sorry”. And although I was right in my prediction, I was genuinely surprised by how funny and entertaining this one was. 
I appreciate that this was mostly a Grinch parody and really leaned into it from the inclusion of the rhyming dialogue to scenes reminiscent of the classic Chuck Jones cartoon (Brain’s Grinch grin and the scene with everyone caroling by the Christmas tree). At the same time, it riffed on previous Pinky and The Brain stories like the aforementioned “A Pinky and The Brain Christmas” and “The Brain’s Apprentice” with Brain leading an army of small robots to do his bidding. I also liked that this one wasn’t focused on a world domination plan, but Brain was so annoyed by the Christmas carolers that he decides to ruin Christmas for everyone. The animation by Titmouse is one of the highlights of the episode. Brain’s irises turning pink when he’s annoyed or maniacal is so humorous, and the pushed expressions and fluid animation are also evidence as to why Titmouse is my favorite studio from the reboot.  The comedy is also incredibly strong, as there were some lines that had me laughing out loud ( “For the last time, Pinky, stop posing so...seductively”). The ending had some genuinely sweet moments, from Pinky singing silent night to Brain being so touched by the gift Pinky gave him that he decides to join the choir and sing the final verse (which is a nice payoff to Brain’s anti-caroling sentiment that was presented earlier). And much like the Grinch, Brain also returns everyone’s gifts in a very sweet gesture. Even though I would have liked the episode to maintain the sweetness to the very end, I’ll excuse it since they did build up to the comedic climax with Brain’s gift-giving contraption going awry. Though I did find Brain’s expression at his broken gift and his following response about Boxing Day to be amusing, so the comedic tone at the end doesn’t ruin things for me anyway. 
It’s no “A Pinky and The Brain Christmas” (then again, that episode raised the bar to a high standard), but as its own holiday special, it’s an enjoyable one. 
8. How To: Brain Takes Over The World
This one is a lot of fun! I love how this episode parodies internet videos in a way that’s enjoyable and in character. Pinky is adorable as he’s having fun making his how-to videos, and Brain’s plan of rigging the lottery is very amusing. The character interactions are top-notch, all of the jokes land, and the run-time is the right length as it does not run the concept to the ground. How To: Brain Takes Over the World is a gem!
7. Narf Over Troubled Water
Pinky and The Brain have done music parodies in the past. Some are gems (Bubba Bo Bob Brain, Brain’s Way), while others were lacking (All You Need Is Narf, The Girl With Nothing Extra). Narf Over Troubled Water is definitely one of the gems.
The Simon and Garfunkel homages are so endearing and humorous. The “I Ate A Rock” song and montage are great. 
I love how this episode basically sums up how Pinky and The Brain work best as a duo, and that neither of them are able to function properly when they are separated. Pinky helps Brain lift his spirits, and Brain gives Pinky a sense of direction, and when they work together, they are able to succeed. 
But the climax of the episode is so fantastic, as the mice reunite in a humorous parody of “The Graduate” which both works in isolation and perfectly meshes with the Simon and Garfunkel theme of the episode. Just seeing the mice be so elated to see each other again and the implication of the ending of them being unsure of their future is so great. 
6. Groundmouse Day and Groundmouse Day Again
The Groundmouse Day two-parter is a brilliant parody of Groundhog Day. I love that we have a Brain time loop episode, but this time, Brain tries to utilize the time loop to his advantage, and he does succeed in world domination, but he can’t enjoy it because the loop keeps restarting. There are a lot of great jokes here and I love how Brain slowly loses it over the course of the episode. But the ending is incredibly sweet, with Brain spending the day with Pinky and the kiss was adorable. It’s a strong pair of episodes that reminds me of the half-hour episodes from the spin-off. 
5. Happy Narfday
A very funny and sweet episode. I like how the story centers around Pinky wanting to do what he wants with Brain, and Brain trying his best not to take over the world. I appreciate how when Brain finds the item he needs for his plan, he tries to cover it up for Pinky’s sake and essentially lies to spare his feelings. But when Brain blows his cover, Pinky reveals that he lied about his birthday because he did not want to take away from Brain’s plans. So both parties did end up lying to each other, both of them are hurt in the process, and they reconcile in a very sweet scene at the end. I would have liked the last scene to linger a little longer, but I think it’s a great episode overall. 
Also, both versions of The Narfday Song are amazing!
4. Future Brain
Easily the strongest segment from season one. I love the concept of Brain being confronted by his future self, who informs him that Pinky would betray him, but Brain chooses Pinky over his future self. The jokes in this one land, from the banter between the mice to the jokes about the Oscars. Future Brain also elevates the episode with his fantastic design and the character still being very silly (like enjoying Pinky’s cheesecake and bragging about how cool he looks). But the aspect I love is that this one focuses more on how Brain values Pinky as a friend. We see Brain being very protective of Pinky the moment Future Brain shows up, and he immediately chooses to have Pinky in his life despite what Future Brain told him. This one also has a great ending, from Pinky giving Brain the cheek nuzzle and the following exchange ( “Of course Brain! You’re my best friend!” “And you...are Pinky...” “Aww, that’s sweet, Brain!”) and Brain choosing Pinky’s loyalty over intellectual cynicism. 
Overall, “Future Brain” is a great episode that knows that focusing on the characters and their relationship results in an entertaining episode. 
3. Plight of Hand
When I first read the plot synopsis for “Plight of Hand”, I was concerned that it was going to go in a weird direction. Thankfully, this was a surprisingly fun episode! The episode seems to be a sort of riff on “Brain Meets Brawn”, but instead of Brain enhancing his own strength, he fires a blue laser light on Pinky, which gives his hands a cunning intelligence. I appreciate that this episode does address the issues in the mice’s relationship, from Brain taking advantage of Pinky to Pinky feeling insecure about his abilities as an assistant. The comedy in this episode lands, as it sometimes takes some dark turns but not to the point where it’s off-putting. 
The climax is especially engaging as Pinky’s hands betray Brain and Brain tries to revert Pinky’s physical state back to normal, but Pinky ultimately stands up to his hands, which causes a helicopter crash. This episode is also noteworthy for having one of the most tender scenes between the mice. After climbing out of the wreckage, Brain approaches Pinky’s unconscious body, mourns for him, and even gives him an indirect kiss by kissing his own hand and cupping Pinky’s cheek with it. Thankfully Pinky is alright, but I love how Brain is visibly happy to see Pinky again. Overall, it’s a fun and fascinating episode from start to finish. 
2. Mad Mouse: Furry Road
As someone who loves Mad Max: Fury Road, this was an enjoyable parody. I love how the episode slowly covers the aspects of Fury Road, from the desert setting and warning of the world becoming a desert wasteland to Brain’s plan being similar to Immortan Joe. The episode taking place at a festival similar to Burning Man was also a clever idea of invoking the post-apocalyptic future while still taking place in the present day. 
But the thing I find most fascinating is that Brain makes an enemy in the form of an Elon Musk caricature, and the episode does a great job of making Dexter Trux an entertaining antagonist that you want to see Brain defeat. Brain is especially great here. When he and Pinky aren’t looking like an elderly couple going on holiday together at the beginning, Brain is teaching a yoga class to collect sweat and convert it into potable H2O and at the epic climax, he applies eye makeup to resemble Furiosa and he outsmarts Dexter and his lackeys like a badass. And that car chase sequence at the end is so humorous and a lot of fun, and definitely does a great job of invoking the aesthetic of the film it’s parodying. Mad Mouse: Furry Road is a banger!
1. Talladega Mice: The Ballad of Pinky Brainy
The best segment from the Animaniacs reboot and one of my absolute favorite Pinky and The Brain cartoons. 
I love the premise, in which the mice engage in a lab experiment in order to steal the car that they need, but when it’s revealed that the car’s ability to function is linked to the driver’s stress level, Brain has to make an effort to keep Pinky calm all the way through the timed maze. 
Both Pinky and Brain are in top form in this episode. Their interactions are incredibly funny, and I love seeing them cooperate on a task and work together to achieve the same goal. 
The comedy in this episode is amazing, from the reference to “Opportunity Knox” to the various ways Brain has to keep Pinky calm, such as talking in a baby voice, doing various celebrity impressions, and even engaging in a tickle fight. I also love how it delves into the mice’s relationship as they undergo a lab experiment together (something that’s rarely seen in a PAB cartoon), especially with having Pinky feel anxiety over Brain being verbally mean to him in a high-stakes situation. It’s cathartic to see Pinky address his own issues and equally cathartic for Brain to actually do his best to tend to Pinky’s emotional needs. 
The animation by Titmouse is top-notch stuff. Giving Pinky blue irises for when he’s stressed is great and it is reminiscent of the expressive irises from the old PATB cartoons made by TMS. 
I also love how Brain’s childhood trauma that was established in “Roadent Trip” came full circle here, as he reluctantly gave Pinky his hand during the climax and as a result, he and Pinky complete the maze and are rewarded with a piece of cheese, which Pinky then eats. I’m not sure if the callback was intentional, but it was great to see the “Pinky is the cheese” theory come back and to see Brain become more comfortable with reaching out and even being rewarded for it. 
It’s a brilliant episode that delves into the characters and their relationship and delivers some top-tier comedy.

Would you trust ANY Korean studio for hand-drawn animation today? I ask because, when The Powerpuff Girls came back in 2016, I noticed how slow and stiff the Korean animation was. Since then, most Burbank cartoons animated in Korea, namely Cartoon Network shows, have been like that — mostly on 2s & with less inbetweening. Look at any Digital eMation episode of Victor and Valentino or Samurai Jack Season 5; do they animate as loosely and smoothly as Digital eMation episodes of Billy & Mandy do?
Sure I would. It would all depend on the studio and the circumstances. There are good studios and bad studios, and either of those will treat your show differently based on their perception of how valuable it is to their client. In the early 2000s Rough Draft was a top-notch studio. One of the reasons I switched over to eMation from Rough Draft was that I felt like Rough Draft was putting all of its resources into making Samurai Jack look beautiful, and we were still calling retakes on three year old issues. I knew we weren't a priority to Rough Draft, and I knew that stemmed from Cartoon Network's negotiations with them, so my griping was only going to get us so far. It seemed to me that I needed a studio that was smaller and scrappier like we were. We were putting in a lot of work on our end to make cool stuff and it wasn't ending up on the screen, so we needed people who were just as hungry on the back-end, and eMation stepped up.
There's also the fact, though, that animation itself has changed a lot in the last fifteen years. Powerpuff Girls and Samurai Jack's animation always seemed to have an air of "motion comics" to it. And frankly, that's part of what I love about it. It was all a throwback to the old UPA cartoons, which were built on strong, clear poses and made for the cost equivalent of a turkey dinner. Likewise, CN storyboard artists usually had around four weeks to write and draw their boards on paper, so there just wasn't time to take the effort to do anything too complex. It was all about snapping between those 300-ish storyboard drawings and momentarily savoring them for their humor and design mastery. Now we have tons of digital tools that make the basics of animation a lot more accessible to everyone, and have changed the entire studio pipeline. Things just won't look like they used to because nobody makes them that way anymore.
When I've had to choose an overseas animation studio, the network's production arm usually gives me one or three choices and tells me that's all there is. Deals have already been made. (Sometimes they make you pick two to save on costs, which (IMO) usually results in two studios that are less functional than any one of them would have been.) The studios usually have reels, so that gives you a basic idea of what they can do. You can (hopefully) find some other show creators who have worked with the studios and get an honest review. It's an important enough decision that it's worth whatever research you can put into it. Even over good bones, an ill-fitting skin can ruin the mood.
The most important thing to remember, I think, is that it's your job and your crew's job to make animating the show as easy as possible. Really, it's everyone's job to make the next person in line's job as simple as they can. Ideally, there shouldn't be a lot of questions because the materials you sent down the chain are clear.
So... yeah. I'd still trust Korean studios as much as I'd trust any overseas or domestic animation studio. You get out of them what you put into them by feeding them money and your own labor. It's quite possible that the shows you mentioned didn't do enough of either.
I imagine the overseas studios are hurting right now, so who knows what that landscape is even going to look like in a few years.
As with every step of the process making a TV show, you just sort of have to weigh your options and find the path.
Hmm. That got long.

Bremen, Germany, May 10, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The P2E game is a new presence in the GameFi sector. Still, its developers claim they can “revolutionize multiple aspects of traditional and blockchain gaming.”
Metakillers features $KILL, a utility token that allows users to uphold transactions or exchange for other cryptocurrencies on BSC. Alternatively, token holders can stake their assets in the game’s app, consisting of three staking pools. Pool 1 has a locking period of 30 days and 500% APY. Meanwhile, Pool 2 has a locking period of 15 days and 200–300% APY. Lastly, Pool 3 has no locking period. Here, users can unlock their tokens anytime and harvest their rewards.
MK allows users to mine for $KILL cryptocurrency and engage in battles between their fighters. The game has recently extended the user interface by upgrading its gameplay, which now can maximize player utility. Additionally, players can earn $KILL tokens as rewards for their in-game performance.
The game features three playing modes, player vs. AI, player vs. player, and tournament mode. In the last one, up to seven players can participate in a war against equally-matched opponent gangs.
The MK network partnered with different EVM-compatible blockchains, such as Ethereum, Polygon, Avalanche, Fantom, and BSC. This way, the project aims to increase scalability and upgrade efficiency and throughput. Also, it seeks to improve acquisition by simplifying the game model, which should reduce the game’s acquisition price by 30%.
Metakillers uses NFTs as character representations, ammunition, and other parts to improvise the characters. Players can choose to rent their unutilized NFTs through the game’s proprietary non-collateralized reNFT system.
Initially, players can mint their in-game characters as NFTs. However, as the game progresses, they can breed them to produce new fighters with enhanced traits. The NFTs will fall into four categories, Common, Uncommon, Rare, and Super Rare, depending on their characteristics and occurrence. The game’s rise in efficiency and popularity will dictate the value of these digital assets. Eventually, players will be able to trade these NFTs in the game’s proprietary NFT marketplace.
Metakillers aims to bring a new format of blockchain-based gaming, one that retains its players as assets. To this end, it enables them to own in-game assets and utilize and monetize them. While the game is still in its development stage, it plans to release its beta version soon, along with an NFT marketplace and a new token, EMAT.

Use case: You are man enough to fight with me, but not man enough to defeat me!
The MK game offers three types of playing modes. The first type is single-player combat against the computer which is named AI mode in the game. The second type is the battle mode where two online players can compete with each other, it is a two-player mode. Lastly, tournament mode is where multiple players can participate in a war between gangs. It is a 7x7 player mode.
Winning a battle is a collective work of strength and intelligence. In this case, MK provides ample opportunities for its players to polish their combat skills.
Inbuilt scalability
The MK network is designed to provide a scalable solution to the highly inefficient transaction structures of different underlying blockchains. Hence, MK has partnered with different EVM compatible blockchains to upgrade efficiency and throughput. Initially only Ethereum, Polygon, Avax, Fantom, and BSC.
Player-to-player NFT renting
Introduced in August 2015, NFT has now emerged into a mainstream product on crypto. The non-fungible tokens have established themselves as digital assets across the blockchain network. The hype for NFTs has risen to a point that every new project on Defi has incorporated NFTs in its layout. There are valid reasons for that too-first and foremost, these non-fungible tokens entitle immutable ownership of digital goods, thus providing all copyrights to the creating party, ultimately eradicating the possibility of any conflicts in the future. Secondly, besides being a means for ownership entitlement these are also appreciating assets that sometimes drive their value from the performance of the original project. However, in most cases, they are treated as an art form. Hence, their many use cases are reasons that have elevated their status from emerging to a mainstream crypto feature. Although the growth of this industry is mind-boggling it is still impossible to estimate its virtual capabilities.
NFTs in games
The use of NFTs in games has drastically increased since blockchain gaming has reserved a significant status. NFTs have multiple use cases in different games depending on the type of the game structure. For instance, card games, strategy and puzzle games use NFTs as collectibles mostly. On the other hand, action battle games, RPG and MMORPG games use NFTs as parts of devices. For example, MetaKiller, which is an action battle RPG uses NFTs as character images and also uses NFTs as ammunition and other parts used to improvise the characters.
NFT renting
In addition to utilizing NFTs as characters and in-game assets, MetaKiller also enables its players to rent out their unutilized NFTs. The concept of reNFT is as simple as the name suggests. That being said, renting out spare NFTs. However, this technique can solve complex issues in blockchain games by making stale NFTs accessible for reuse.
Games like MetaKiller, has umpteen NFT uses, while some NFTs are used frequently, others remain in the player’s collection. The reNFT technique puts these NFTs to use for income generation. Moreover, with MK’s non-collateralized NFT renting strategy it has become much easier for lenders and borrowers to execute a short-term transaction.
Staking Pools
The MK team has designed an efficient allocative staking pool that rewards our users up to 100% at an annual return rate. There is also feasibility of availing different staking pools’ services depending on which locking period suits you best. There are a total of three staking pools.
Our mission
We recognize video games may be extra, so we`ve been busy constructing a recreation wherein each card % you open, each battle you fight, and each character you craft is constructed to be a part of a sustainable, real-price economy. The objects you own are installed to have extra applications past simply gambling. We believe that the key to absolute growth is through retaining the existing revenue stream, in terms of the game, the existing revenue streams are the player. MetaKiller aims to improve user acquisition by simplifying the game model. We strongly support the explanation of reducing game acquisition costs by 30% and plan to gain a cost-competitive advantage.

Promotional Samurai Jack animation for the Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time game coming out this Summer.
The animation seems to be using “puppets” rather than traditional animation, but it works just fine. The character designs are probably by Craig Kellman, since they look like the general model designs seen in Season 5 of the series.
See the trailer here.
