Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

Animation 1: I'm Not Bad, I'm Just Drawn That Way

A thread to discuss television and online animation.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Does the director of the 2014 Godzilla movie have some involvement in the series?

I'm looking at inexpensive dvds at my library bookstore for ltc. Is anyone familiar with Ruby Gloom?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Yes! She and her friends are thoroughly charming and I can't recommend them highly enough!

Cool! Thanks, JZ. I grabbed one dvd for $1, but I'll go back and get the other one next time.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

We loved Ruby Gloom.!

It got interestingly ambitious in its later seasons and even had a musical.

Excellent characters, PerkyGoth design and music.

I think I ganked the theme song too.

If you follow streaming TV for grown-ups, you can see Sarah Gadon, who (exquisitely) voices Ruby, as Grace in Alias Grace on Netflix and as Sadie in 11.22.63 on Hulu. Like apparently every Canadian actor ever, she is mindbogglingly superb.

I'm so behind on all things not animated more small children.

JZ and Hec are, of course, right. Ruby Gloom is adorable. I think I'm enjoying it more than ltc is.

It's surprisingly re-watchable. Which is key with children's programming.

I scored two more Ruby gloom sets at the library bookstore today! I'm not sure who is more excited me or ltc.
