The Simpsons are American animation, but they're ousourced to Korea too (Rough Draft Studios). And they have to do that animation in the style they are given, they can't just bust out into an anime style. Smiert Spionam wasn't talking about inbetweening and an animation production, he was bitching about the look of anime and the tired trend of making everything look like its anime. And btw, even BTAS was outsourced too. Genndy Tartakovsky worked on animation for the show in studios in France and/or Spain. Its where the project starts, not where its outsourced, that determines what country it belongs to. i stand corrected then *bows 2 electriclite* n in a sense i kind of agree there that most cartoon today r trying to look to much like anime...case in point CARTOON NETWORK new Transformers Series......anyways...ill dig the new batman(anime style) cartoon.... |
