animaniacs reboot

Watching Animaniacs again and it just hit me how bad this reboot is gonna be. You need the professionals who started it all to make this masterpiece again, not a bunch writers and directors who were merely fans of the original show. This show requires extremely good story telling skills and will very easily be ruined in the wrong hands

Y’all can stop this noise right tf now

Animaniacs fans:

 -Beg for a reboot for decades

 – create facebook movements to get it rebooted 

– promote Animanaics writers at every turn

 – are so numerous and vocal they get attention

 – that attention turns into a reboot deal being made with Hulu

Hulu: 

– Doesn’t hire a single writer from the original series inspite of the fans wanting this

– Ignores their concerns with their writing picks, i.e. some writer from Family Guy being the show runner  

Some filthy casuals: “YALL ARE SUCH BABIES JUST GIVE IT A CHANCE" 

Fans: “We specifically worked toward this for years side by side with the show creators. This reboot wouldn’t exist without us demanding it and now we’re big babies because we’re being ignored? Because the show Creator is being shat on??”

Oh, and my personal favorite: “IT’S NOT FOR YOU! IT’S A KID’S SHOW”

Actually it is. It always was? The A! writers always wrote in jokes for their fans, and their fans have always been majority adult.

This poll makes me sad. I feel like all those people more open to giving it a shot don’t understand the slap in the face Hulu just gave everyone.

Alright y’all listen up

Before anyone goes around complaining about us complaining, please understand why we are complaining.

This is not about Animaniacs

Yes, we all, whether you plan to give the reboot a chance or not, want this reboot to be great, so that’s definitely a factor, but this is not about Animaniacs.

This is about its original crew being treated like garbage.

Put yourself in Tom Ruegger’s, and the entire crew for that matter, shoes for a moment. keeping in mind that when you help bring a character to life, whether by fleshing out a basic concept, writing them, drawing them, playing them in a part or voicing them, or whatever, they are basically your child. They are people, not real people but still people, that you created, you shaped, and naturally, you love them and don’t ever want anything bad to happen to them. Keep that in mind while you put yourself in their position.

You and your team built these characters, this world, this show, from the ground up. You made the show what it is. You poured your heart and soul into this show, you all did all the work.

But you don’t own it. Your employer owns it. Nevermind that your employer probably didn’t do any creative work, nevermind that without you, the show would not even exist. And because you don’t own your own work, your employer can do whatever they’d like with it, whether you approve or not. And not only can they do that, they do do that.

Putting this into the perspective of the characters being like the creators’ children, that’s like if you had a kid, raised them, loved them, made them who they are, and then your boss comes along and says “You know, your kid hasn’t been in the spotlight for a while. I’m going to shove them back into it so I can make some money! You want to be part of this? No no no, you can’t be involved in your child’s future at all. You don’t like that I’m doing this? Too bad, I own your kid.”

Artists, that’s like if you created some art and posted it to tumblr, and it became so popular that tumblr said “hey, we’re going to take your art, do whatever we want to it, and use it for ads. You don’t like that? Well, you posted the art on our website, so we own the art that you created.”

Does that seem fair to you? Because it sounds to me like the original crew’s labor is being taken advantage of to make a quick buck.

And think of this: If they can treat the crew so terribly without a care in the world,
what makes you think they will treat the show any differently?

And I can’t speak for everyone else, but what really infuriates me about this is that this happens all the time
And it shouldn’t.

For years I’ve wanted to create cartoons just as great as this one. But then something like this happens and it makes me not want to create cartoons. Because I don’t want something that I’ve worked a lifetime for, put my heart and soul into, to be taken away from me at any time, let alone be redone in a way that disgraces the whole thing, and all the work I put into it.

We are not doing this for Animaniacs. We’re doing this for everyone who made Animaniacs what it is.

Now I don’t think a reboot created by the original crew could ever be terrible, but let me say this:
I, personally, would rather have an awful reboot made by the original crew than a great reboot made by anyone else.

This isn’t fair to them. And shit like this needs to end because as I’ve said, it happens all the time
