TheRiceandCake I completely agree with you. Most people believe that teen cartoon characters (especially females ) have to be all cutesy or something. Which is one of the reasons I loved Wendy from Gravity Falls. She has a very unique tom boy look about her. Anyway some characters are so kid like I forget that they’re supposed to be 18 or something.

The Betty Boop redesign feels more of a 10 year old girl than a 16 year old. I kind of feel like a modern show would be more Monster High or Winx Club-esque kind of? (If those can be considered more modern--) Like a fashion based show following her singing career. This sounded better in my head but idk, I just don't feel that redesign. Whoops
Yeah I agree. I feel like most 16 year old girls wouldn't be like this in reality at all. I don't like how some kids shows make it seem like teens are happy-go-lucky or childish because it gives them a false outlook on the future...
Hmm that's a good point, I kind of forgot about these like 'doll based' cartoons... I was feeling that they usually make characters seem younger than their age to be more approachable but maybe I went too young! But that's why I had the alternative version as well, so I could explore two possible angles on her in the modern age.

You guys have to remember that in the 30s 16 was culturally considered being more in your early 20s. People quit high school to go to vocational school, it wasn't like it is now where you have to pass high school to then be accepted, so you could be 16, married, and have a full-time job. My mamaw got married at 14 and it wasn't considered at all uncommon. A lot of teenage girls were working in factories and whatnot. We had a huge depression on and people had to grow up fast. It was extremely common to be treated as an adult in your early teens. The word "teenager" doesn't even appear in the lexicon until the 1950s, decades after Betty Boop's inception. You went straight from "child" to "adult". Times were hard, people died young, the world was shit, and you just wanted to watch a cartoon to get your mind off the literal famine that was happening in the 30s. You had to grow up and get out of your parents' house as soon as you could because they literally couldn't afford to feed you. The culture was just vastly different. It was awful. We should all be really thankful to the people who have made strides in things like child labor laws, stagitory rape laws, a federally mandated age-of-consent, etc. We still have a long way to go, but we've improved vastly, and these cartoons help us see that. To be fair, state age-of-adulthood laws can vary and override the federal one, so you can, for example, get married at 14 in certain states, 16 in others. We still have a ways to go. Because the culture has changed and we have child labor laws and actually understand that people deserve a childhood- the best thing to do, if she was pitched today, would be to age her up to her mid 20s. Because now that's the age we see people being sexualized, or holding down jobs, or getting their own apartments, etc. Her cartoons only don't make sense with her being 16 because the culture has become so much better. Back in the day that really was just how life was.
I mean they’ve literally thrown in a joke about fingering, and get away with a lot of more adult jokes that can fly over the heads of younger audiences
@@oliviawoloshyn5824 so only serialised shows with over arching plots aren't childish? Get off your high horse. Shows like Gumball deal with alot deeper themes such as love, acceptance, depression and much more thanks to its episodic nature. While shows like Steven Universe and Star VS take a season and a half to get to the point. Anybody who looks at Gumball right now and thinks it childish is honestly just willingly ignorant at this point.
I think what happened is that she watched an episode from season one. Season One wasn't exactly the self-aware powerhouse of creative writing we have now. It was good, it was funny, but nothing too out of the ordinary.
Yeah, I feel like Gumball has a lot of references kids won't get and which I think are more ment for people born in the 90's. Also I don't think little kids know the "don't hug me I'm scared" videos, which obviously inspired one of Gumball's episodes.
Fun fact: Betty was a poodle Her earringa were dog ears She wasnt the main charecter she was the girlfriend of him If shes 16 then shes basicly a grandma
Haha that's an awesome name. XD You know, old cartoons actually had that rubberhose look so that the animators wouldn't have to worry about where to put joints, and how the bones would work. Sharp corners and things were harder to animate, so characters often looked like a few balls connected by noodles, lol. That's the same reason why so many old cartoon characters wear gloves all the time.
Animators: so we’re going to make Betty Boo again. Should we keep her original cup size? Animator 1#: No! Girls are going to feel insecure when they looks at they’re cups! Make her flat chested. Animator 2#: No! If we make her flat chested, early bloomers will feel insecure about they’re cup sizes! Keep her curvy! Animators: well shoot.
I feel like Betty boop would be better as an adult swim cartoon than as a show for kids just because making her so young makes her not the same character you could have her dancing and the show could have a cool story paying more modern songs in the background like they did back then I would give her shorts instead of a skirt and keep her top the same like it is on the old show I’ve been watching a lot of the old episodes they made with her and I just couldn’t see her being made into a kids show that’s just my opinion though
If dog/cat breeds were cute boys or girls :) (Okay, you don’t have to comment about how she did a dog one already, 4 people have already told me. I forgot about it. But I still hope she does cats)
This is why I'm glad they're era specific, the redesigns you posed are way too scarily accurate that I fear some CN/Nick/Disney exec will see this and make it happen ๏_๏
One of the biggest differences in old toons of the rubber hose era is that cartoons were short toons to make you feel good and cure depression which is why cartoons became huge in that era. Cartoons of today are trying to teach life lessons and are trying to be edgy with creepy fan bases. Toons were just toons back then and now they are in everything consuming more of our lives than ever before.
Amazing as always! I'd love to see you do some She-Ra stuff in your style! Been loving that show and I think you'd make some AWESOME stuff from the characters in that show!
With the way that you drew Betty boop, it kinda feels like she has her bubbly, over-the top, easily excitable personality as her stage personality when she sings, but behind the scenes she is nowhere near as bright. Idk, just my opinion
Thank you for mentioning Over the Garden Wall. I think that it's really underrated for what it is. The depth of the show, the music, animation and the dynamics of the characters is amazing. I loved it then and I still love it 4 years later. I really recomend watching it if you haven't.
OMG FELIX THE CAT!?!?!?!!!!?? I LOVED THAT CARTOON! *THANK YOU FOR THE NOSTALGIA* (and making me feel old) and you were right about not recognizing coco the clown at first, thanks for showing that clip of him otherwise I would've denied ever even hearing about it
I really like how you tackled some Max Fleischer characters. I really like how you made Coco the clown looks friendly. I really think we need more friendly clowns in today's media.
Dangit, I'm only 19 and somehow this gives me so much nostalgia! Seriously, did I watch THAT many classic cartoons growing up?! Strangely enough though I actually haven't watched all too much of the particular shows in question. Edit: I also found it kinda neat how you referenced "The Misadventures of Flapjack" in the video. That was a really weird and kinda dark series but I absolutely loved it the whole time it was running! Oh yeah, and it's so awesome to be in the ending reel for Patreon backers, even though it isn't with this username.
@@Marigold11037 Amazing World of Gumball is one of the best shows ever. It's a family sitcom but everyone is a weird cartoon character in a magical world where anything can happen and everything is alive. It's about a blue cat named Gumball a Mischievous, sarcastic,reckless,crazy irresponsible but he has a heart , there is Darwin his Brother who is the sweet one and the voice of reason, he is equally as silly though, but gets angry at Gumball when he goes too far. There is Nicole the strict mother, Richard the lazy jobless fat father, and there is Anias the genius 4 year old. Together they have normal adventures or crazy insane adventures.
if youre interested in the main meat with max fleschier (sorry if i wrote that wrong), you should see game theorys video on bendy and the ink machine, it talks alot about the history with max and his rivalry with disney, and its fun aswell. anyway, great vid. ❤
im happy felix and betty boop has not been reborn in this era of animation not because it`s a bad era but because they will just do the same as with the new pop eye shorts i we get a reboot with them i want it to be special like make it in black and white and put filter over the entier episode so it looks old or make some sort of vintage inspired style but they would probaly not do that because that will be taking risks we have access to fantastic technology but i don`t think we are using it to its full potential
Yeah, I think she'd probably be aged up a bit and be more like the version on the right rather than being kid-ified. This whole issue is kind of hard to interpret for LT's purposes because there weren't special cartoons for kids and others for adults back then, there were just... cartoons.
You should do a video where instead of redesigning vintage characters, you turn modern characters like She Ra and Steven Universe characters into vintage characters
xoLoveTruelySucksxo Its still “modern”. It’s nearing 30 or 40 years old, but a lot of the cartoons in this video were swing-era or older (1940s, 30s, 20s or earlier). She-ra, even the original series, has much more in common with cartoons of 2019 than the nearly 100 year old cartoons like Betty Boop and Felix the Cat.
Wow, as a teen who isn’t the typical string bean you see in cartoons, I can’t belive I didn’t notice how the industry makes all the teen characters so thin! That’s really interesting to bring up because I think that reinforces the idea that if you are a teen you need to be super thin to be attractive; I know I’ve felt that pressure, especially with many of my friends having that look. Thanks for bringing that up!
Honestly, one of your weaker design videos. Coco was fine but Betty was really lost and Felix was just kinda lazy. Betty’s design, if she would be pitched today, wouldn’t be for a kids cartoon. It just wouldn’t. Her entire purpose was to be provocative and a bit of a sex symbol. Her dress, for instance, was a red dress cut at the thighs because that was the risqué dress of the day. With her being 16, it’s definitely odd, but my theory is that she was to represent when kids become “floozies” and succumb to lust. A lot of her cartoons involved hell and sin, so it’d make sense. Also, animation was geared towards everyone, and hers just happened to be geared at adults or kids who may “turn to the dark side”. I think her design would’ve been better in an adult swim type of style or an ageless demographic. Even a Simpsons design would’ve made more sense than this. She looks way too young and innocent. Maybe a rebel type look or a provocative teen idol like Brittany Spears in the early days. As for Felix’s design, it’s lazy and bad respectively. On the bad end, the only major change to Jake’s design was the color and ears. As for the Gumball look, it’s just Gumball with darker fur and a jacket. I think you focused too hard on the reference materials rather than adapting the character. The clothing idea makes sense, anthropomorphic animals with clothes are more popular and appealing. And basing the colors in the darker, cool tones was a nice design choice. However, the design and shapes are waaaay too TAWOG. It’s kinda jarring, especially next to the Betty Boop you made in your style. The route I’d go is maintain the proportions since they’re pretty standard, and could work in a geometric styled show. Like Powerpuff, Invader Zimm. or the Butch Hartman shows. Give him clothes that more match his curious, trickster attitude. And the muzzle isn’t necessarily needed, it was more of a guide for animation purposes, but it’s still an iconic look so I would keep it. Just not so slapped on. Honestly, with a stylized show that muzzle can stay without much of an edit. So yeah, that’s my critique. Idk if it was helpful but these designs really irked me for those reasons, hope you don’t mind LavenderTowne, love your stuff otherwise. (P.S. Gumball isn’t really a kiddy show. It’s waaaaay darker than you give it credit. Check out some of the new stuff, it’s pretty good and entertains my Adult Brain just as much as my kid brain if not more.)
I was thinking some of these things while watching. I dont watch a lot of these videos, for reasons like this. It's odd to me that they weren't in her style. I think will all she produces there are going to be hits and misses and this is more on the miss side for me, which isnt bad, it just kinda is
Especially when it comes to Fleischer cartoons, I feel like the reason a lot of these characters might not translate well if made in the modern day is because back then cartoons were not as strictly considered a children's medium as they are now. The Fleischer brothers tended towards more experimental practices, like the rotoscope, setting their cartoons to jazz, and high use of surrealism. A lot of the Betty Boop cartoons especially were quite adult in nature -- not in a pornographic sense but more in a way that most children wouldn't get nearly as much out of them as an adult of the time would.
On the other hand, a lot of children's cartoons lately has really upped the bar on what topics can be addressed, with Steven Universe handling trauma and abuse, My little Pony handling brainwashing and loss, and Star vs the Forces of Evil handling prejudice.
Garnet: You couldn't stop me five thousand, seven hundred and fifty years ago and you can't stop me now! Yep, sounds like a "young adult" to me. Either way, great video, no hate.
For Betty Boop, it was very disturbing to look at, but it's mostly because she looks like a 6 year old on acid sugar rush. I think I'll try this old to new challenge myself, but for Betty boop, probably leaning more towards Winx Club or Milo Murphy. Edit: Thanks for the idea. I think Ill try all the new things introduced into the public domain this year.
Milo Murphy and Winx Club are very different. But if your going to look it up, definitely start with the original series, not the later series reboots. Tell original series had an overarching plot that builds little by little, the later seasons are when the show got too popular for its own good and you can tell some meddling for more merch has occurred. But if it doesn't have to be animation, I highly recommend strange days at Blake Holsey high to anyone who asks me for any show recommendation. You will feel real feels and laugh real laughs. But good luck finding every episode to the last season.
@@demonheart13 wow, thanks! you wrote a lot more than I thought you would. :) BTW, is it family friendly? if it's a good show, I'd like to show it to my sisters, but some of them are pretty young.
@@adaliawright6891 Winx Club is great for younger viewers. Its about the good fairies and nights vs the dark witches from another school. Dark doesn't mean evil in the show, but the main villians are witches. The headmaster's of the two schools are in "friendly" competition with each other. Blake Holsey High is also family friendly, there isn't any cursing or violent bloodshed, but it is best for a nerdier audience who can catch the lame science puns the show is focused around. More middle to highschool relatable.
4:39 D-did you just stab my heart with a knife? Just wondering 'cause it just kinda smashed into a few pieces, haha. Anyway, this was a really cool video. I'll go ahead and try stuff like this, too.
I recently rewatched over the garden wall and I remembered only a few things(including things u remembered wring) 1.it was really creepy and desturbing (but it acually isn't that creepy) 2.i remember it having loads of episodes (but in only has 10) 3.somthing wierd to do with apricots
While i can appreciate your love for these old characters i do have some issues with this video. Now coco i dont really have any issue with, but i do have issues with this redesign of betty and felix. starting with betty i can say that while your design is cute, it doesnt fit with how she was made back in the day. she wasnt made for just children, she was made more for a large array of people so i think the aged down look of her design is a bit too off the mark. and with felix the clothes or change in style didnt bother me, nor did the lightening of the black so much. the part that bothered me was the face in both designs you did. the reason that felix, mickey, and any other animals of that time have black bodies, large eyes, and a white muzzle is so that you can see the nose, eye expressions, and the mouth movements. they had a lot of limitations back then so that was the only way they could properly convey what they wanted the character to be feelings. i feel as tho with you keeping the lighter part just around his eyes and changing it to a blue grey colour it takes away from the original design and basically makes it a new character. with all that said i still love your videos and will continue to watch them, i just felt like this was something i had to point out as an animation student who actually just learned this in school.
@@IzzyRoseDoesArt That would have been a better design based on what she was in that time, with a bit of a softer edge since she is a softer goody toe shoes character
I think her flaws is she draws whatever people recommend or quantity ideas without giving a thought or time in what she's designing. I saw her take on Frozen's Elsa and she had backlash on that too.
you do have a point tho, no matter how numerous they are, these independent animations, though more artistically expressive than a lot of the samey cartoons on tv, mostly remain in obscurity bc since they cant be aimed towards the huge "kids n family" demographic, they arent as well advertised and often get trapped in the depths of youtube and vimeo

To be fair, state age-of-adulthood laws can vary and override the federal one, so you can, for example, get married at 14 in certain states, 16 in others. We still have a ways to go.
Because the culture has changed and we have child labor laws and actually understand that people deserve a childhood- the best thing to do, if she was pitched today, would be to age her up to her mid 20s. Because now that's the age we see people being sexualized, or holding down jobs, or getting their own apartments, etc. Her cartoons only don't make sense with her being 16 because the culture has become so much better. Back in the day that really was just how life was.

I don't know how much you've seen of gumball but it's definitely not childish, it's one of the best cartoons out there that older audiences can enjoy!
I mean they’ve literally thrown in a joke about fingering, and get away with a lot of more adult jokes that can fly over the heads of younger audiences
To be fair I’ve only seen an episode here or there! I might have to give it another go since so many people are saying it’s great!
LavenderTowne it’s totally fine if you don’t like it, but it’s worth a shot; especially the later episodes
I think it's pretty childish. 😂
@@oliviawoloshyn5824 so only serialised shows with over arching plots aren't childish? Get off your high horse. Shows like Gumball deal with alot deeper themes such as love, acceptance, depression and much more thanks to its episodic nature. While shows like Steven Universe and Star VS take a season and a half to get to the point. Anybody who looks at Gumball right now and thinks it childish is honestly just willingly ignorant at this point.
Wasn't Betty Boop geared towards adults?
Yeh she was but she is fantasticly awesome
Yea but if it was rebooted
Betty Boop would actually be targeted towards a younger audience
she was aimed at everyone, but today it would be more like an adult's show
I wonder why Betty Book was aimed toward adults....

I think what happened is that she watched an episode from season one. Season One wasn't exactly the self-aware powerhouse of creative writing we have now. It was good, it was funny, but nothing too out of the ordinary.
Yeah, I feel like Gumball has a lot of references kids won't get and which I think are more ment for people born in the 90's. Also I don't think little kids know the "don't hug me I'm scared" videos, which obviously inspired one of Gumball's episodes.

Great name
Haha that's an awesome name. XD
You know, old cartoons actually had that rubberhose look so that the animators wouldn't have to worry about where to put joints, and how the bones would work. Sharp corners and things were harder to animate, so characters often looked like a few balls connected by noodles, lol.
That's the same reason why so many old cartoon characters wear gloves all the time.

I feel like Betty boop would be better as an adult swim cartoon than as a show for kids just because making her so young makes her not the same character you could have her dancing and the show could have a cool story paying more modern songs in the background like they did back then I would give her shorts instead of a skirt and keep her top the same like it is on the old show I’ve been watching a lot of the old episodes they made with her and I just couldn’t see her being made into a kids show that’s just my opinion though
I totally agree! But maybe they should change Betty Boop to 18 years old to avoid controversial if they were modernizing the cartoon.
Akira is me I didn’t know she wasn’t lol I thought she was at least 18 to 21 but yeh she should have been made 18 in the first place
For a modern one u could make her a 20 year old college student or something

Garnet: **laughs in nearly 6000 years old**
This is why I'm glad they're era specific, the redesigns you posed are way too scarily accurate that I fear some CN/Nick/Disney exec will see this and make it happen ๏_๏
One of the biggest differences in old toons of the rubber hose era is that cartoons were short toons to make you feel good and cure depression which is why cartoons became huge in that era. Cartoons of today are trying to teach life lessons and are trying to be edgy with creepy fan bases. Toons were just toons back then and now they are in everything consuming more of our lives than ever before.

Over The Garden Wall:
Only TEN episodes, each only about TEN minutes!!
That's less than two hours of cartoons!
With the way that you drew Betty boop, it kinda feels like she has her bubbly, over-the top, easily excitable personality as her stage personality when she sings, but behind the scenes she is nowhere near as bright. Idk, just my opinion
Thank you for mentioning Over the Garden Wall. I think that it's really underrated for what it is. The depth of the show, the music, animation and the dynamics of the characters is amazing. I loved it then and I still love it 4 years later. I really recomend watching it if you haven't.

It's a family sitcom but everyone is a weird cartoon character in a magical world where anything can happen and everything is alive. It's about a blue cat named Gumball a Mischievous, sarcastic,reckless,crazy irresponsible but he has a heart , there is Darwin his Brother who is the sweet one and the voice of reason, he is equally as silly though, but gets angry at Gumball when he goes too far. There is Nicole the strict mother, Richard the lazy jobless fat father, and there is Anias the genius 4 year old. Together they have normal adventures or crazy insane adventures.

If lavender towne was designed as vintage or modern characters as vintage
im happy felix and betty boop has not been reborn in this era of animation not because it`s a bad era but because they will just do the same as with the new pop eye shorts
i we get a reboot with them i want it to be special like make it in black and white and put filter over the entier episode so it looks old or make some sort of vintage inspired style but they would probaly not do that because that will be taking risks
we have access to fantastic technology but i don`t think we are using it to its full potential
Felix almost got rebooted in CGI back in 2011
I also heard felixs new owner dreamworks gonna make an reboot

Yeah, I think she'd probably be aged up a bit and be more like the version on the right rather than being kid-ified. This whole issue is kind of hard to interpret for LT's purposes because there weren't special cartoons for kids and others for adults back then, there were just... cartoons.
She was an adult cartoon character like The Flintstones. If rebooted it’d likely have her the same age as the movie. In her 20s living in the city

Betty is adorable in every style no matter if it's vintage or modern
You should do a video where instead of redesigning vintage characters, you turn modern characters like She Ra and Steven Universe characters into vintage characters
She Ra was made in the 80's, this one is just a reboot
xoLoveTruelySucksxo Its still “modern”. It’s nearing 30 or 40 years old, but a lot of the cartoons in this video were swing-era or older (1940s, 30s, 20s or earlier). She-ra, even the original series, has much more in common with cartoons of 2019 than the nearly 100 year old cartoons like Betty Boop and Felix the Cat.
xoLoveTruelySucksxo also She Ra had a reboot
i adore over the garden wall. it's such a beautiful cartoon and the characters are so lovable. just 10/10
I love how she makes Betty Boop sounds innocent
Wow, as a teen who isn’t the typical string bean you see in cartoons, I can’t belive I didn’t notice how the industry makes all the teen characters so thin! That’s really interesting to bring up because I think that reinforces the idea that if you are a teen you need to be super thin to be attractive; I know I’ve felt that pressure, especially with many of my friends having that look. Thanks for bringing that up!
Honestly, one of your weaker design videos. Coco was fine but Betty was really lost and Felix was just kinda lazy.
Betty’s design, if she would be pitched today, wouldn’t be for a kids cartoon. It just wouldn’t. Her entire purpose was to be provocative and a bit of a sex symbol. Her dress, for instance, was a red dress cut at the thighs because that was the risqué dress of the day. With her being 16, it’s definitely odd, but my theory is that she was to represent when kids become “floozies” and succumb to lust. A lot of her cartoons involved hell and sin, so it’d make sense. Also, animation was geared towards everyone, and hers just happened to be geared at adults or kids who may “turn to the dark side”.
I think her design would’ve been better in an adult swim type of style or an ageless demographic. Even a Simpsons design would’ve made more sense than this. She looks way too young and innocent. Maybe a rebel type look or a provocative teen idol like Brittany Spears in the early days.
As for Felix’s design, it’s lazy and bad respectively. On the bad end, the only major change to Jake’s design was the color and ears. As for the Gumball look, it’s just Gumball with darker fur and a jacket. I think you focused too hard on the reference materials rather than adapting the character.
The clothing idea makes sense, anthropomorphic animals with clothes are more popular and appealing. And basing the colors in the darker, cool tones was a nice design choice. However, the design and shapes are waaaay too TAWOG. It’s kinda jarring, especially next to the Betty Boop you made in your style.
The route I’d go is maintain the proportions since they’re pretty standard, and could work in a geometric styled show. Like Powerpuff, Invader Zimm. or the Butch Hartman shows. Give him clothes that more match his curious, trickster attitude. And the muzzle isn’t necessarily needed, it was more of a guide for animation purposes, but it’s still an iconic look so I would keep it. Just not so slapped on. Honestly, with a stylized show that muzzle can stay without much of an edit.
So yeah, that’s my critique. Idk if it was helpful but these designs really irked me for those reasons, hope you don’t mind LavenderTowne, love your stuff otherwise.
(P.S. Gumball isn’t really a kiddy show. It’s waaaaay darker than you give it credit. Check out some of the new stuff, it’s pretty good and entertains my Adult Brain just as much as my kid brain if not more.)
Bro chill.
I was thinking some of these things while watching. I dont watch a lot of these videos, for reasons like this. It's odd to me that they weren't in her style. I think will all she produces there are going to be hits and misses and this is more on the miss side for me, which isnt bad, it just kinda is
Thanks for the analysis that nobody asked for 🤢
This is the comment section, what do you expect? No one should have to ask before giving criticism
@@unicorncat2326 they're actin like a self entitled ass, and since it's the comment section, I should also be able to express my opinion 🤢
Especially when it comes to Fleischer cartoons, I feel like the reason a lot of these characters might not translate well if made in the modern day is because back then cartoons were not as strictly considered a children's medium as they are now. The Fleischer brothers tended towards more experimental practices, like the rotoscope, setting their cartoons to jazz, and high use of surrealism. A lot of the Betty Boop cartoons especially were quite adult in nature -- not in a pornographic sense but more in a way that most children wouldn't get nearly as much out of them as an adult of the time would.
On the other hand, a lot of children's cartoons lately has really upped the bar on what topics can be addressed, with Steven Universe handling trauma and abuse, My little Pony handling brainwashing and loss, and Star vs the Forces of Evil handling prejudice.
I think it might be interesting to do this with Hanna-Barbera cartoons like the Flintstones, the Jetsons, Scooby-Doo and the Smurfs.
2:35 OMG SHERA!! I love that series!!

Me: *Triggered for my step Brothers * KIDS DON'T LIKE TO WATCH THESE SINGING SHOWS!
As I think of it I *always* get frustrated how on cartoons teens are *really* short and how skinny they are 😛
For Betty Boop, it was very disturbing to look at, but it's mostly because she looks like a 6 year old on acid sugar rush. I think I'll try this old to new challenge myself, but for Betty boop, probably leaning more towards Winx Club or Milo Murphy.
Edit: Thanks for the idea. I think Ill try all the new things introduced into the public domain this year.
what's winx club? I'm looking for a new show to watch, and if you like Milo Murphy, you're my kind of person for tv show advise. :)
Milo Murphy and Winx Club are very different. But if your going to look it up, definitely start with the original series, not the later series reboots. Tell original series had an overarching plot that builds little by little, the later seasons are when the show got too popular for its own good and you can tell some meddling for more merch has occurred.
But if it doesn't have to be animation, I highly recommend strange days at Blake Holsey high to anyone who asks me for any show recommendation. You will feel real feels and laugh real laughs. But good luck finding every episode to the last season.
@@demonheart13 wow, thanks! you wrote a lot more than I thought you would. :) BTW, is it family friendly? if it's a good show, I'd like to show it to my sisters, but some of them are pretty young.
@@adaliawright6891 Winx Club is great for younger viewers. Its about the good fairies and nights vs the dark witches from another school. Dark doesn't mean evil in the show, but the main villians are witches. The headmaster's of the two schools are in "friendly" competition with each other.
Blake Holsey High is also family friendly, there isn't any cursing or violent bloodshed, but it is best for a nerdier audience who can catch the lame science puns the show is focused around. More middle to highschool relatable.

1.it was really creepy and desturbing (but it acually isn't that creepy)
2.i remember it having loads of episodes (but in only has 10)
3.somthing wierd to do with apricots
Honestly for the Felix one I just thought about 'Bendy and Boris, the quest for the ink machine '
Great comic, check it out sometime!
While i can appreciate your love for these old characters i do have some issues with this video. Now coco i dont really have any issue with, but i do have issues with this redesign of betty and felix. starting with betty i can say that while your design is cute, it doesnt fit with how she was made back in the day. she wasnt made for just children, she was made more for a large array of people so i think the aged down look of her design is a bit too off the mark. and with felix the clothes or change in style didnt bother me, nor did the lightening of the black so much. the part that bothered me was the face in both designs you did. the reason that felix, mickey, and any other animals of that time have black bodies, large eyes, and a white muzzle is so that you can see the nose, eye expressions, and the mouth movements. they had a lot of limitations back then so that was the only way they could properly convey what they wanted the character to be feelings. i feel as tho with you keeping the lighter part just around his eyes and changing it to a blue grey colour it takes away from the original design and basically makes it a new character.
with all that said i still love your videos and will continue to watch them, i just felt like this was something i had to point out as an animation student who actually just learned this in school.
I agree wholeheartedly, Betty's redesign is a bit too off the mark.
I agree
I agree as well, and with Betty Boop, I imagined a sorta Lorie from the Loud house-y vibe, like that overdressed social media teen vibe.
@@IzzyRoseDoesArt That would have been a better design based on what she was in that time, with a bit of a softer edge since she is a softer goody toe shoes character
I think her flaws is she draws whatever people recommend or quantity ideas without giving a thought or time in what she's designing. I saw her take on Frozen's Elsa and she had backlash on that too.
