The Big Picture: The Collar

[CrazyGirl17]

Huh, I never knew that. Thanks for the info!

(Also, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who found the "Clutch Cargo"-style of animation disturbing...)

Can't wait for next week's episode!

 

[elitestranger1]

the annoying orange anyone?

each week i prepare mayself to learn another useless fact
the human brain is aparently 1tb and mines full so one day im gonna forget how to breathe because it got replaced by a random fact about comics or something

 

[CFriis87]

Nice job bob, i see we're moving along to animated shows. So does that mean we will see an episode about a very recent popular animated show for kids and adults?

That would make his show at least 20% cooler in 10 seconds flat! The masses would bellow out their yay's as love and tolerance would spread across the land.

 

[Hungry Donner]

Once when I was watching cartoons my dad came in and said something along the lines of, "to save on animation costs they didn't animate characters unless they were the focus of the scene," and then he went on his way.

I was never able to watch cartoons the same way . . . the characters who aren't the center of attention just stand there doing nothing.

 

[Owlslayer]

Well that was quite educating.
But i do have to admit, those lips were really creepy.
Damn.

 

[JehuBot]

I always thought the collar/tie/bandana..etc was added to the character's design just to give them some sort of personality , and to make him/her look cool.

and yet again , Movie Bob blew my mind with his vast knowledge of geekdom !

great episode as usual.

 

[Chasmodius]

Is it just me, or does Mr. Barbera look like Joe Pesci in that picture?

 

[Angel Molina]

It's "drawing", not "drawring". Where did you get your weird pronunciation?

From what I understand, Moviebob actually has a Boston accent that is hard to pick up when talking through a mic....

Spoiler: here, have some refrence

MovieBob: Oscar Show

 

[Something Amyss]

I figured out where this was going pretty quick, but man, that was interesting.

 

[Calbeck]

That was genuinely interesting, engaging and informative. Thanks, Bob!

 

[Insideout Ink Demon]

wow, I'm impressed. Bob I stopped watching your movie reviews a while back when all you seemed to need to give a good review was a bit of T&A in the movie.
this is the first time this year i've give you a chance, and i'm glad i did because that was very interesting. see you next week

 

[krellen]

Once again, Bob delivers.

 

[PrinceofPersia]

Well this completely blew my mind. After watching this video I told everyone I know about it... and nobody seemed to share my enthusiasm.

but in the 90s Hanna-Barbara cut the funding for a great show the "swat kats" which only last 1 1/2 seasons and forced on Johnny Quest instead.

I miss Swat Kats. Twas an awesome show.


Man I loved those crazy Kats, sigh wish someone would continue it.

 

[Booze Zombie]

I'm so glad I wasn't the only one creeped out by that.

 

[Dr. Pepper Unlimited]

I am waaayyyyy too interested in this. Seriously, this is bizarrely fascinating.

This ^

The whole time I was thinking: "Tell me more!". That was my favorite episode by far, Bob. I hope to see many more like this in the future. I love learning weird things like that. It's all strangely fascinating.

 

[orangeapples]

I always like to know how things are made and knowing about the collar is awesome!
also I got something to tell people
The Lip thing is not that odd to me for some reason.
and now I know where the idea of the above cartoon comes from.

Ninja'd by the 1st comment! GODDAM! How funny is the commentary version with Mr. Incredible and Frozone talking about how bad it is!

Could you really call it being Ninja's if the person was that much further ahead of you? This looks more like a Gary Oak to me...

 

[OaKleIgHy]

hey does anyone know the name of the series/robot featured in the video at around 2.20-2.23. I remember watching it as a kid but can't remember what it was called.

 

[TheDrunkNinja]

I can't believe that Bob didn't even make note the irony that he is talking about animated heads with disconnected shirt collars on a show that is almost entirely expressed through heads with disconnected shirt collars.

 

[K_Dub]

Dude, is just so awesome! I probably would've gone the rest of my life not knowing that cool tid-bit of history had it not been for Movie Bob!

 

[Endocrom]

Well played Bob. I thought to myself "Okay now he's just picking random TV Tropes to fill out his videos" but you pulled it off, thanks for the history lesson.

Now do He-Man's heavy use of rotoscoping.
