looney tunes/merrie melodies vs. disney... FIGHT!

[mate_spawn_die]

bugs bunny or mickey mouse?
daffy duck or donald duck?

i love them both for different reasons but i just love the violent, screwball wackiness of looney tunes compared to the innocent disney animation.

ah... such fond memories of looney tunes on nickelodeon.

[taquitos]

the violent, screwball wackiness of looney tunes
i'd say this gives them the edge

[Guy Incognito]

its a no brainer - looney tunes is funnier, better characters, funnier voices, better stories, better accidents etc.

[taquitos]

oh, i was thinking like, who would win in a fight

[Guy Incognito]

oh, i was thinking like, who would win in a fight

oh well, looney tunes win that as well, i cant think of any "hard" disney characters.

[taquitos]

yeah. you are right though, the thread is actually about which you prefer.

[Guy Incognito]

the tasmanian devil would take all of disney on himself and win..easy. they should make a film of that.

[abcdefz]

Are you including Pixar with Disney?

[mate_spawn_die]

yeah, i didn't actually mean a fight...

but it kinda seems that way by the title... i'm delirious atm so excuse me


must... sleep... any good ideas to make me sleep? my computer isn't helping i don't think.

[mate_spawn_die]

no we are talkin' golden age

i can't stand computer animation.

[Guy Incognito]

Are you including Pixar with Disney?

ooooh - that changes everything. in both cases, there's some good characters and lines etc and the incredibles would kick everybody's arse

[abcdefz]

Folding Pixar in with Disney at least makes it more of a fair fight.


You just know Elastigirl could kick Snow White, Pocohantas, Belle, and Cinderella's asses with one arm tied behind her leg.

err...that cant happen - they would be on the same side mate. Who the fuck is belle?

[ms.peachy]

I dunno. I guess I just don't understand what the impetus would be to compare them, TBH. I've been watching an awful lot of Disney films lately, and I have to say, watching a lot of this stuff now as an adult, I'm kind of impressed by stuff that went right past me as a kid. For example, in the Jungle Book - if you look at the way that Mowgli moves, it's really this very accurate representation of an adolescent boy, with very long loose limbs. And in Dumbo, the "Pink Elephants" sequence - bloody hell, you'd never get that in a kid's film today.

[ms.peachy]

Who the fuck is belle?

Tale as old as time, song as old as rhyme...

[mate_spawn_die]

yeah, the old disney animation films are classics... it's a tough question to answer. i might put some of them in my queue and watch them with adult eyes.

[Dorothy Wood]

you guys are getting crazy in here!

I voted based on just the t.v. cartoons. disney's animated features definitely beat everything though.

[abcdefz]

You're right. I'm still not awake.

[Dorothy Wood]

also, I like donald duck better than daffy. I think. I don't know.

oh god, I'm so conflicted.

[Guy Incognito]

aah - i havent seen beauty and the beast. Not that version anyway but lets save that for the other thread thats going on atm (http://www.beastieboys.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=87403).

But there's not much better than "Duck Amuck."

[mate_spawn_die]

i know! it's nuts!

[Guy Incognito]

oh god, I'm so conflicted.

well if they were my mates they would both wind me up but daffy would be funnier to watch when he got angry is definitely wittier

[abcdefz]

So, mate spawn... I gotta ask again if Pixar is included with Disney before I vote....

[mate_spawn_die]

don't forget kingdom hearts!

sure.. yeah, i guess it is "animation"... so it counts

no way, LOL, I am not going in there; I saw the way that thread was heading a while back. I like my porn, but I have zero to add to that conversation.

Fuck. Now this is hard.

[ms.peachy]

Fuck. Now this is hard.

You might have to defer a decision until after seeing Wall-E; I hear it's pretty excellent.

I think I'm seeing it this afternoon. (y) Yeah -- the reviewers are doing backflips. It's got a 98% on the Tomatometer right now.

I went "Disney" anyway, almost entirely because of the Pixar factor.

[YoungRemy]

Disneyland vs. Six Flags.

More Flags, More Fun

[Lyman Zerga]

i love donald duck

pixar is for 5 year olds

[Guy Incognito]

burp humor isnt funny to me i also cant stand the idiotic facial expressions they give them in EVERY pixar movie, you just need to know one pixar movie to know them all


old disney movies had class and heart, now it's all computer plastic fake shit with idealess stories

thats a fair opinion about disney and facial expression but i think all thier films are quite different.

[afronaut]

As far as the classic cartoons go, Looney Tunes hands down. No competition.

I don't think it's fair to bring Pixar into the fight, because it's an entirely different market and Warner Bros doesn't really have any equivalent. Disney/Pixar has a monopoly on good cgi family films. Plus, I think it's fair to say that most of the magic is with Pixar, and not Disney.

[mathcart]

its a no brainer - looney tunes is funnier, better characters, funnier voices, better stories, better accidents etc.

Agreed- this is not a fair fight- Looney tunes are the most influential cartoons in history- plus the best. Disney sucks rotten turds- if someone ever told me they would rather watch a god awful huey, duey and louie slit your wrist suck fest over any looney tune I would think they were homicidal serial killing drifters who had lost all touch with reality in a freak arm wrestling match.

Not exactly fair to compare Disney movies to Looney tune tv shows for a few reasons
1 No Looney Tune movies- but they would of kicked ass!
2 Disnry made tv show cartoons and (as mentioned before) were the biggest affront to television and childhood ever- in fact I believe they caused blindness and anal leakage.

OK yes- Disney movies are technical marvals that blow the hell out of the modern cgi animation- but it wasn't the animation that made looney tunes SO supierior (although they were very well animated) and conversely Disneys excellent animation (what do you expect they worked on those joints for a damn decade!) did not make them smarter, funnier or ballsier than looney tunes.

1st round knockout by looney tunes!
Down goes Mickey!

[mate_spawn_die]

the disney television cartoons of the late 80's were really great too... when i was a child... i don't know what it would be like watching them now... i'm still a kid at heart though :D

duck tales
talespin
chip n' dale rescue rangers
gummi bears
darkwing duck

But if you had actually read the question that was being asked, rather than the question you wanted to answer, it was about which one had better animation. Not which one you think was smarter, ballsier, or funnier.

[mate_spawn_die]

the question was about both. all around.

My apologies if I have misunderstood; but that does not appear to me to be what you wrote.

sorry, i've never been very articulate with words :o

LOL, that's very Yogi Berra.

(Which now of course introduces the whole Hanna-Barbera thing into the mix...)

Hanna Barbera definitely has the best theme tunes.

snippy much? I think it should be a basic right in the constitution to only answer the questions we want to answer- regardless of what weve been asked! I mean if our politicians can do it all the time, why can't we? I say we can, nay should!
:rolleyes:

As for interpreting the question- I took animation to mean the whole package- otherwise were asking who our favorite animators are- a much less fun question. But even if you wanted to go with the tight ass-iest interpretation I still say its a real debate as looney tunes are extremely underated in terms of their look.
While Disney may have been very good at replicating true movement of people (probably the best ever at that), Looney tunes went a totally other way and were stylized in a way that their look defined the medium (i.e. everything after it was derivative of its look). So I would say they were just as influential for their animation as well as how well written smart and funny they were. So yet again I say no brainer that they are better than Disney.
Was that the question you wanted me to answer?
;)

[ms.peachy]

snippy much?

Presumably you didn't read as far as this:

Would you like me to open a vein for you, too, buddy?

I did, but...
I was waiting for a personal apology that would validate my existence as one who is always right and the world was now forced to admit it an open and very public forum I frequent. But no blood is necessary, thank you for the generous offer though
:rolleyes:
