    Quality shows in the Wildcards. The only one I don't know is Battletech.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,712 ✭✭✭Sawduck


    Will there only be one of these that advances to the next round, there is at least 5 shows that i think are brilliant and deserve to advance, great choices here

    Don't think so unless I missed it. I was sure it would come up & was waiting for it because its my sons favourite show & he's stuck his head into the game once or twice to play with me :P

    Yeah it wasn't in any of the matches, and I had left it out of my nominations originally for the exact same reason - was sure it would've been included by someone else.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,302 ✭✭✭PsychoPete


    I love Rick and Morty but I think the humor in it isn't what you typically find in an animation show

    I nominated all my favs from when I was a kid. Wasn't interested in nominating anything too recent. But I was sure Rick and Morty being so popular, that it might pop up.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,956 ✭✭✭✭Omackeral


    That concludes Round 1. I know this tournament has been a bit disjointed in comparison with some others I've run (real life stuff!) but from Round 2 on it should be a lot smoother. As always, thanks for your input and fun!

    Thomas The Tank Engine is made using models. Cartoons are drawn. Its an animation, but it definitely wouldn't be classed as a cartoon.

    As much as Spiderman uses Spiders.

    Did you ever see 'Thomas The Tank Engine Drunk', that is defiantly drawn, I've never seen a drunk model or to take it further a drunk train.

    Nice selection of shows in round 2

    Was talking to my wife about this today and she mentioned
    Pink Panther (awesome music and animation style from the 70s and 80s)
    Kablam (maybe would fall foul of the 'live action' element)
    Tiny tunes (this is the one with (Elmyra.. can't believe i forgot it)

    It's still not a cartoon mate.

    Spiderman is like a painting, whereas Thomas The Tank Engine is like a sculpture...

    You don't think Paintings and Sculptures are the same do you?

    Its all art, but the Mona Lisa isn't going to win a Greatest Sculpture Tournament and the Venus de Milo isn't going to win a Greatest Painting Tournament...

    You can see how these are visually different mediums, right?

    Not a Cartoon:

    He isn't a cartoon, but if I seen Thomas appear, or Wallace and Gromit or the likes, I personally wouldn't have necessarily objected to it.

    Don't think anyone is retroactively objecting to its inclusion, sure I thought nothing of it when it appeared, knowing it wasn't going to progress any further.

    I think we're only responding to this chain of messages, since What.Now asked.

    OK, I seem to be out of my intellectual depth here so I'm backing away from this competition. I'm humbled by your knowledge in regards to cartoons.

    It's just TTTE had/has a big impact on my heart.

    I do think that these treads do allow a bit of discrepancies as was previously shown in the best film song.

    I would have called it a cartoon. Same as Wallace and Gromit like someone else mentioned. Maybe they are not technically cartoons but I wouldn't know what else to call either of them :confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,946 ✭✭✭SineadSpears


    I don't like the Wallace and Gromit type things either. I've a kid who refuses to watch anything made like that too.
    Some of Tim Burton's stuff aswel, Nightmare Before Christmas & Corpse Bride. Coraline is another one too. I just can't take to them, that style whatever its called


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,956 ✭✭✭✭Omackeral


    There absolutely is a Thomas the Tank Engine cartoon. So anyone telling the poster that they are wrong is wrong themselves.

    The term most often used for Wallace and Gromit is claymation
