Reboots are They Worth It

When it comes to a movie, T.V., play, book or even game nothing is better then the original source material. What I I’m trying to say is when the first material comes out. It touches the viewer in a different way captivating us. Making us fall in love with it in some way or another all this happening for the first time. Most people try and cling to the memories of their first more then others. That why when it comes to reboots and remakes. It gets hard to really narrow down feelings about it. You can love the original work but.When they start trying to make it better or edgier for a new audience. To try and market it, because it has such a big name and is already well known. Let me give a explain what I mean Teen Titans (T.V. series) aired in 2003 and ran until 2007. This show was a hit it was getting great reviews. It was doing great with kids and shockingly adults too. It really hurt a lot of people when. They founded out the show would be ending that year of 2007. 6 years later this great show would be making a comeback but not like they way that old fans remember them. This new show would be called Teen Titans Go. Would be aimed at younger kids instead of a wide audience. These new titans are the same as the old group with sight changes to the shows tone, story, and characters. They have traded the deep themes and ideas for more light hearten, playful, jokey things. Almost making it noting like the original work that I fell in love with, but if you want to put a positive spin on it all. The new show is drawing in new fans that might want to check out the original titans. They added more characters and Easter eggs from the comic books giving more character development to the main cast, and. Last thing this show also give you a new prospect of how you may look at something. Start of heating it and then give it a real chance and then might start to like even love it.  
 ('DuckTales' has a special place in Disney's TV animation history," Marc Buhaj, senior vice president of programming and the general manager of Disney XD, said in a statement. "It drew its inspiration from Disney Legend Carl Barks' comic books and through its storytelling and artistic showmanship, set an enduring standard for animated entertainment that connects with both kids and adults."

"Our new series will bring that same energy and adventurous spirit to a new generation," he added.

The new "DuckTales" is slated for a 2017 release – but there's plenty out there for viewers who can't wait that long to see their favorite kids' shows come back to life"As the original ambassador of girl power, 'The Powerpuff Girls' brand continues to resonate with people of all ages and there is tremendous excitement around introducing Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup to a new generation," Pete Yoder, vice president of consumer products for North America, Cartoon Network Enterprises, told Variety in June.

In an effort to amp up its kid-friendly content, film and television streaming service Netflix has also ordered the revamp of a number of beloved cartoons.

First on the list is Scholastic Media's "The Magic School Bus," a show based on the book series of the same name. The 90s cartoon featured science teacher Ms. Frizzle and her class who, in their quest for learning, would board the eponymous vehicle for field trips to such unlikely places as outer space or the human digestive system.)

The Cut Off

What is the cut off age to stop watching cartoons? Is it when you turn 17? Is it when you turn 18? Maybe it when, you pay your first bill maybe when you hit puberty? A better question to ask is why do people feel the need to make themselves stop watching cartoons? When they teach you life lessons and can help you through depression and real life problems and situation. Some Cartoons are just for enjoyment something to just turn off your brain for..Why feel ashamed about something that make you feel good and teaches you something? I guess it just depends on the type of person you are or maybe people should be just more open minded and open to new things. Because some of those new things might just improve your life or help someone around you in a way you didn't know was possible. There is not cut off age there is noting wrong with watching cartoons take pride in what you do.
 ("Drawn Together" is Comedy Central's twisted take on reality shows. Its characters, all parodies of animated icons, live together in a swanky house and get into mischief a la MTV's "The Real World."

Just like the non-animated variety, there's sex, catfights, binge drinking and hot-tubbing. "Family-values groups tend to make a lot less noise about places like Comedy Central," said Robert Thompson, chair of the Center for the Study of Popular Television at Syracuse University. "It's clearly identified as 'not a safe haven."'

Years ago, TV animation in prime time started and stopped with squeaky-clean shows like "The Flintstones." Now, post "Beavis and Butt-Head," there are more-adult offerings such as "South Park" and "Aqua Teen Hunger Force." All have "mature" ratings and air in late-evening slots.

"Cartoons that aren't appropriate for kids are common," Mr. Thompson said. "The one thing that might make people nervous about 'Drawn Together' is that these animated characters are parodies of ones we know from kid animation and they look familiar for that reason.")
