why hasn't there been another Bakshi?
Why hasn't there been another Bakshi?
There hasn’t been another Paul Terry.
Because we live in an era where being counter-culture means you're a fascist according to left groups.
Hell, it's not even a "now" thing, see Ralph Bakshi's drama with Coonskin.
Holy shit, you're fucking stupid lmao
It's very difficult to get any financial support without going internationally viral these days and the best way to go internationally viral is to appeal to the lowest common denominator. This is the world you choose if you use social media.
Studios are both preposterously risk-averse and no longer interested in funding smaller projects. If it's not a film projected to earn at least $300 million using the safest plots and styles imaginable, they're not interested.
muh social media
You're right. I forgot that before the Internet it was incredibly easy to get financial support for all things non-mainstream.
Not incredibly, but far easier than it is now, yes. The fact that zines existed, that Troma and John Waters were able to make films (and profit off them), that up-and-coming cartoonists were able to showcase their snippets on major television channels and so on shows that yes, people could get financial support for their stuff more easily then than they can now.
Yeah, the same is true in music. Good luck breaking into the music game these days without some corporate-paid Swede writing your songs for you. This is not hyperbole, either.
only pop music is like this
Name ten top hits of the last decade not written or cowritten by a Swede. Because if you ain't a hit, you didn't break into the music game, did you?
And I mean new artists, sorry. If you already broke into the industry, swedes might be irrelevant. Beck and Buhjork still write and release music, no swedes involved (iinm)
you dont need to have a song in the top 10 charts to make it in the industry
being counter culture means you're fascist
that's the way i've seen you idiots describe yourselves on here over and over again. you honestly all think worshipping hitler is an enlightened modern worldview because of social media influenc- sorry """"""" philosophers" """"""""""
Because the money was made, the industry formed, and the gates kept. We must be as barbarians.
Hitlerbwas no philosopher.
Julius Evola on the other hand.
(born October 29, 1938)
He better get a sticky.
I'm trying! it's a slow go but I love Bakshi's work and his work ethic. You go to work, do your job then go home and have a steak.
I want that animation life, lol.
Please don't jinx anything
that's the way i've seen you idiots describe yourselves on here over and over again
you honestly all think worshipping hitler is an enlightened modern worldview
Lol
Bro, shut the fuck up.
Why did he do it?
He'll be fine.
Sure is Anon Babblemblr in here.
CATCHPHRASE!

This is true. Indie shows really have to appeal to the terminally-online genderspecial autists in otder to gain a following (and thus funding), you can't just make cool weird shit anymore. It's a bleak world
John K had promise to be one. Sadly he fucked it up
He could access to projects and budgets because the New Hollywood was making so much money that spending on animation (which is expensive) was not much of a risk. There are weirdos doing counter-culture animation nowdays but they are mostly doing low budget internet stuff and the currenr state of The Industry™ will never open the gate for their projects. So they will never have a body of work as big as Bakshi's
Thanks, this is actually a start as into why.
You didn't call them a liar.
Bakshi barelly got money.
imagine a new one
All these Anon Babblemblrfags crying
Ah yes, give that sweet sweet salt baby!
Are these """""""" philosophers """""" in the room with us right now?
Read the sign anon
you honestly all think worshipping hitler is an enlightened modern worldview
No actually, I don't think it's modern at all.
Hitler was never a philosopher. He was just an ass blasted artist with broken dreams. So like everyone on Anon Babble. It makes more sense if you look at it that way. Rejects meet rejects (rightoids), freaks meet freaks (leftoids) and then they assemble and go to war. Philosophers and normal people get fucked. You can't be a philosopher if you're a seething bandwagoner.
John K said it was supposed to be like sniffing a flower.
john k can still save us
There was. His name was John Kricfaluski.
complete terrytoons 4k collection when
I like Bill Plympton.
Who?
You faggots are retarded. If any of Bakshi shit came out today the left would lose their minds with how offensive and not PC it is.
cheap asses that cut corners and over promise on things?
yeah there's plenty of those people around.
