Animaniacs


Animaniacs




Animaniacs is one of my favourite cartoon shows, rivaling that of my love for gravity falls. The show follows three characters Yakko, Wakko and dot. Yakko being the oldest, Wakko the second oldest, and dot being the youngest.  The characters are absolutely insane and get into so many adventures and wild antics. The show its self is almost like that the warners (Yakko, Wakko and Dot) host a show, that airs cartoons. But the warners them selfs do have some amazing cartoons shows. Each episode has multiple cartoons in it, even the classic show Pinky and the Brain.
 
 Here are some of the character design sheets, showing the basic shapes used to create the design of the animaniacs. 

Rick and Morty




We all know Rick and Morty, if you don't, what are you doing? Rick and Morty cater too an older audience, I do not recommend showing this show to children.

Rick and Morty is a show of a Grandfather and grandson, going on outlandish adventures. Rick a drunk, grump, genius takes Morty across the galaxy for his own gain.


Rick is old selfish and a drunk. Morty is young, afraid and a bumbling idiot, lovably but a little bit stupid at times.




The show has three seasons, season three only coming out at the beginning 2017.  The show is incredibly vibrant, as amazing background design and detail, and the character design is very distinctive. I really love the character design, the way the eyes for example have been done, aren't like any other cartoon I have ever seen.  They don't use shading, adding to the simplicity to the design of the characters.  The design use very simple straight lines, and simple deigns for the clothing.

Scooby Doo


We all know and love the classic Scooby Doo cartoons, and this week i've spent a lot of time being nostalgic and re watching the classic series. Two reasons, I can now really appreciate the bad animation quality, and secondly the amazing story lines. Say what you like, the episodes always had you invested, whether that be solving the mystery or just for the comedic aspect of the show. 

I mean come on people, look at this madness. I want my dog to lift me up from the ground and fly through the air using only bin lids. Who doesn't want that? Jokes aside, you can see what I mean about animation quality and comedy mixed into one, the animation its self adds to the comedic aspect of the actual show in my opinion. 



Take this screen shot for example. 

Or this one below, Shaggy's face says it all. 
I mean seriously now.
