Off topic, but Freaky Fred, who is that in your avatar? I believe that you had the cartoon Freaky Fred, but now have his new guy who is a dead ringer.

I searched my name on GAF and this old post made me laugh my ass off

 

[Captain Europe]

Looks alright, certainly doesn't look as bad as everyone makes it out to look.

 

[Femmeworth]

Doesn't look that bad for test footage, it's faithful to the style of the original series.

 

[Rimon-hanit]

Damn Neogaf stop hating on everything, I would have prefered 2d animation to but the CGI clip is very in tune with the look of the show

 

[Nikodemos]

Ehh, it's not that bad. Reminds me of the CGI used in Season 3. Pretty good individual animations on Eustace's heap (when the headlamps/fenders jiggled). Needs a bit more crudely drawn 2D in some places for that extra nostalgia (like that crappy stickline caricature of Dilworth that was framed on a wall in the original series). Maybe make the nightmare sequences 2D (as an inversion of the original). Also needs a bit more... hmm, for lack of a better word, 'grimyness'. Nowhere, Kansas was a dusty run-down hole.



I was really sad that Sheep in the Big City didn't take off properly. Though I suppose this is because it was terribly mispresented. It had the appearance of a young kids show, but not a single joke/punchline was understandable by them (it had actual 'adult humor').

 

[Tablo]

No thanks. That show freaked me out. Do not want.

 

[threetri333]

I need help identifying Christmas songs from Season 4 Episode 1: A Beaver's Tale/The Nut Cracker.

I really like these songs, but I don't know their titles.

 

[KiN0]

cg looks way to clean. But, I loved the original because it used so many different techniques to bring the stories to life. As long as they can do that, I'll deal with it. Even though I prefer the traditional animation.

 

[Akainu]

bleh

 

[everyday math]

Looks ok, but would rather have the old animation. Too used to it.

 

[PlayDat]

No. I liked the show during its original run but it's okay to let things die sometimes. Fuck your nostalgia.

 

[javac]

Return the art style or suffer the consequences.

 

[Gorillaz]

The Man in Gauze, The Man in Gauze!

 

[Secret Fawful]

I....liked it, except for Eustace's voice. It just reminded me of that one CGI digital fetus guy who everyone always quotes from the show, so I can't see anything wrong with more of that.

 

[Toa TAK]

I'm confused, did this get greenlight or what? Are they going forward with the reboot?

 

[Tuck]

Kill it with fire.

 

[Beelzebub]

Please leave it 2D or don't bother to bring it back

 

[DanteSparda504]

I hope it gets picked up. I'd prefer 2D, but I liked Courage as a show and I'd be happy to have it back in any form as long as it still keeps the same story style. Just making it 2D, wont make it good. Look at Thundercats.

Also, please more of Fred. Thanks.

 

[TuXx]

The CG is a little eh, but I could easily get over it. Hope it gets picked up. Cartoon Network would be doing a service by introducing Courage to a new generation of kids.

 

[ShadowElliot]

He better return if Courage gets rebooted.

 

[sixteen-bit]

CGI? Nope.

Looks cheap as hell.

Right? The 2D animation was so distinctive.

 

[Escape Goat]

They should try rebooting good shows.

 

[Spaghetti]

that didn't look awful, and the 2D designs translated quite well over to 3D.

 

[dan2026]

CGI for cartoons is always garbage.
CGI touch ups are fine, whole CGI nonono.

No thank you.

 

[moonbox]

No thank you.

The Powerpuff Girls special was amazing.

 

[psylah]

When are we getting new episodes of Mina and the Count?

 

[The Adder]

Who cares about the sub-medium? It was the writing and, more importantly, the music that made Courage.

 

[Weiss]

I was against it on principle at first, but it actually looked alright.

The CGI is too clean though.

 

[Gr1mLock]

RETURN THE SLAB!!

 

[Puruzi]

I was about to go apeshit, but the cgi honestly isn't half bad

 

[bon]

Looks like Courage the Cowardly Dog to me. I was never a huge fan of the show tho.

 

[sunnz]

first reaction: WTF have they done, looks bad

A few seconds later, I actually kinda like it...

 

[water_wendi]

id be down. i love that dog.

 

[PhoenixDawn]

Can't say I'd want it to come back if it ended up looking like that. The 2D animation coupled with the occasional extremely creepy 3D CGI was what made the show great. It just wouldn't be the same if the entire thing was in this cheap looking style as I don't see how they could really differentiate the weird things from the rest of the scene.

 

[Masquerader]

Eh, it looks alright, I suppose. Too much like that crap Garfield CGI thingy, though. Too clean, too rounded. It had better be rough, surreal, and amusing.

 

[Smellycat]

Fuck it then. Leave the legacy untarnished.

I can't believe you had the courage to say that

 

[Lazyslob]

the cg is okay except for that cloud ghost thing. that thing is hideous

 

[Squishy3]

I think it works considering they had already used CGI for some quick cuts in the old series if I recall. It wasn't often, but it was there.

 

[EightBitNate]

I thought this looked interesting

 

[leakey]

Could be a lot worse. I think it could work.

 

[Eggbok]

The Man in Gauze, The Man in Gauze!

KING RAMSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES

 

[Icyflamez96]

I don't think it looks too bad.

 

[-PXG-]

I loved this show so much. That teaser wasn't as bad as I thought. Still, 2D would be better

 

[zeemumu]

Eh, it looks okay. They've got the atmosphere of Courage down.

Besides, you can make some pretty freaky imagery even with the worst of CGI

 

[SonicMegaDrive]

CGI reboot of

No, thanks.

 

[Goliath]

Yuck! I never liked Courage. It had one or two OK episodes but they all felt the same and most of the characters are unlikable and the sound effects were so annoying.

Of all shows to reboot I would leave this alone. How about a reboot of ReBoot!

 

[zma1013]

It's okay I guess but I'd rather have the regular show's exact 2D animation style. I guess 3D is just more convenient these days and kids are now used to them. Still, I await the return of one of the most twisted cartoons to come back on the air.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

The footage doesn't look bad. Well, the monster looks really dated, but everything else looks fine.

 

[SilentSoldier]

It was the juxtaposition of the 2D and 3D that made those scenes work in the original show. I don't know if it can still be legit creepy if its all done in one style.

 

[Screaming Meat]

If they're going to redo Courage in any new artstyle, do it in claymation/stop motion.
