Tron: Uprising is like an amalgamation of all my favorite cartoons from the 1990's.

Like Batman Beyond, it's the story of a familiar character, a shadow of his former self but still formidable, training a brash young successor.

Like Sonic the Hedgehog, it's the story of a small group of rebels waging an asymmetric war against a ubiquitous technocratic dictatorship.

And like Beast Wars, it uses the fact that its characters aren't actually human as an end run around standards and practices in order to be the most violent children's cartoon on television.

And, er, the next line is a spoiler for a near-end-of-last-season episode of Game of Thrones, so if you haven't watched that yet you should probably get on it.  But seriously, Tron is pretty great.

The Fleischer Superman cartoons are now on YouTube

If you've (somehow) never seen these before, they're 1940s cartoon productions that pretty much defined the visual look of Superman in motion for years to come. Plus, they're classic stories of Superman fighting gorillas, electric death rays, giant magnets and asteroids. They're great stories, and I can remember watching them on a VHS my dad bought for me when I was a kid. Always a blast to watch, in case you've never seen them before.

Well, they're public domain, so they've doubtless been on there in some form or another for as long as there's been YouTube.  And presumably the Internet Archive before that.

But these are WB's officially-restored versions.  They look pretty sweet!

Axe Cop and its accompanying shows will debut July 27, and the whole thing really does sound an awful lot like a network TV version of Adult Swim.

... They should have gotten the guy who plays Franky/Silver Fox Foxy to play Ice King.

Likewise, they should have found a way to get Tom Kenny to play Franky.

Vaguely sure people have seen this before in one form or another, but since the web is all Tumblr now here it is again: Animation Notes From King of the Hill

Pretty nice! What's that "DX" term they keep using supposed to mean, though?

Comics Alliance has the full break down of who is in the cast, and Holy Shit.

Quote
Nick Offerman (Parks and Recreation) as Axe Cop
Ken Marino (The State, Party Down) as Flute Cop
Patton Oswalt (The Comedians of Comedy) as Sockarang
Rob Huebel (Children's Hospital) as Gary Diamond
Peter Serafinowicz (The Peter Serafinowicz Show) as Dr. Doo Doo and other characters
Michael Madsen (Reservoir Dogs) as Baby Man
Jonathan Banks (Breaking Bad) as Book Cop
Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad) as Army Chihuaua
Vincent Kartheiser (Mad Men) as Bat Warthog Man
Jared Harris as the King of England.
Tyler the Creator as Liborg.

Has America finally found something to replace Shakespeare in all high-school level English courses? I think so.

Wander Over Yonder Title Sequence via Cartoon Brew

You know, I never really managed to get into Powerpuff Girls or Foster's, but this looks pretty good.

Finally got around to watching the last episode of Tron: Uprising.  Great damn show; disappointed to see it go but they left the story far enough along to lead back into the movies, which apparently are still getting made because somebody somewhere thinks it makes more sense to make a sequel to a movie that barely broke even domestically than to continue a cartoon spinoff that nobody was watching because it didn't have a consistent timeslot or any promotion.

At any rate, I enjoyed the way they ended it, and the show as a whole -- pretty damn bleak, really, but with that undercurrent of hope.

(Though I have to gripe about one inconsistency: just a few episodes ago, when Dyson confirmed to Clu that Tron was still alive, Clu killed the third guy in the room so that no one else would know.  And then in the final episode, he's got a whole fucking squadron after Tron, addressing him by name and seeing him unmasked so that they know it's really, really him.  Now, kudos to Clu for just killing that guy for no reason except to end an episode dramatically, but yeah this is not exactly consistent behavior.)

I think it's interesting that children's entertainment about small groups of dissidents waging asymmetric warfare against oppressive governments is becoming vogue again -- didn't see much of it in the past decade, for obvious reasons.  Even Star Wars has been telling stories where the future Imperial Army are the good guys.

Though now that the next Star Wars series is set between episodes 3 and 4, Disney's going to have another rebels-fight-an-evil-empire cartoon running.  And hopefully this one will be more successful than Tron was.

Though give that it's Weisman, I still only give it two seasons.

Thing is if you've seen the movie and were paying attention during that episode you know that Frodo actually fucked up completely and just doesn't know it yet.
