I think the worst part about Ellen forcing Mariah to come out about her pregnancy was that Mariah miscarried after her appearance on the show. Ellen always seemed like she enjoyed embarrassing her guests way too much for my liking.
Wait what? Really? That may have been why she didn't want to say anything. Didn't want to tell everybody just in case a miscarriage could happen. Maybe she's had miscarriages before, but I don't know. That's really sad what happened.
Molly McGee: EXCUSE YOU!?!?! Edit:BTW, he doesn't hate that show or Centaurworld. When he said "inbetween that", he was pointing out the good shows inbetween so many bad shows. And I actually watched Jellystone, it's not that bad! It's more hit or miss Edit: same with the Johnny Test reboot. I'd even say it's better than the post Kids WB era!
There is a reason why the MLP show made sure to put little white dots over the characters' pupils. Because if you don't include those, then you get exactly this kind of uncanny valley.
It depends on what kind of vibe that you want on the animation. If you want a cartoony style, you don't have to put realistic highlights and gradient is fine. However, Little Ellen gives off a more detailed look, when the eyes look creepy without highlights.
the episode about ellen's cat being depressed could be an accurate metaphor: the cat is a stand-in for the audience, while the other characters are the show trying to entertain you
Because networks may wanted be “kid friendly” but wouldn’t give a shit when they writer are being creepy. Seriously it seems that Elise gate has creep into tv.
The sad thing is that the animation studio for this is Lighthouse Studios, a studio in Ireland co-owned by Cartoon Saloon ( Wolfwalkers, Song of the Sea, Secret of the Kells) and Mercury Filmworks (the 2013 animated Mickey shorts, Tangled the Series, Wander Over Yonder, Kid Cosmic). The fact two of the best indie animation studios could not save this animation wise is baffling
If you want a very good modern pre-school show then just watch Bluey. It's oddly wholesome, handles it's messages really well, has a banger ost, doesn't have obnoxious child acting and has much better writing compared to a lot of other stuff they make for younger kids nowadays, especially this garbage.
i really love bluey, it’s just a bummer that we aussies don’t retain international distribution rights, so the studio doesn’t make the money it deserves
@@Kakmanmartinez666 One of them is called Tell Me Again About the Night I Was Born and another is called When I Was Little. Look them up if you have the chance.
@@tidepodpadthai2633 Apparently "Little Bill" was modeled after Cosby's late son, not the man himself, so you can kind of maybe distance it _a bit_ from him. But yeah, Cosby was already a predator when he made that show. We just didn't know it yet.
Ellen getting everything at the end despite the moral being "you can't always get what you want" reminds me of those shitty conflict-free eighties cartoons
I wouldn’t mind it if that wasn’t in _every, single_ episode. Or at least the moral be “You can’t always get what you want but sometimes things work out differently” like in that game night episode if it ended with Ellen and her friends not being allowed to join the adults but they make their own game night. Even _Monsters University_ managed to pull that off.
Surprised you didn't mention South Park in the section where you talked about the lineless art style. Because yes, fricking South Park, a show deliberately made to look crude, somehow got this right. While the backgrounds of the show are just as colorful as the characters, they're slightly more duller and static to not get caught up amongst the characters. And the characters are often dressed in outfits with varying different colors to try and make them stand out more and not blend in with the background.
Aren't they animated with Blender. . . I Find it hard to believe that characters who look like they're Flat 2D Cut-Out Characters; ARE ANIMATED WITH 3D Modeling Software!!
She’s always treated asian people bad. When Psy’s Gangnam Style was at it peak, she had him on the show and honestly it felt like she didn’t care. Like he was there to train Britney Spears the dance rather than talk to him and ask him about his songs. Then obviously the translator getting shit for not translating fast enough, which knowing a few words in a couple Asian languages, I know that translating them to understand stand in one language is pretty hard if they aren’t similar languages. Then these next too are pretty fucking sad. She had BTS and SuperM (which is a subunit of guys from other groups, SHINee, Exo, & NCT/WayV, a group made from people of existing groups) and honestly treated them like some no named artists. She didn’t introduce them (which in Korea they do, but we are in America and that’s pretty sad, even though most have easy to say stage names and even she has said a Korean name, the director of Parasite; she just rather not give time of day to people she doesn’t care for). Then she only talks to the member who speaks English the best (RM in BYS and Mark in SuperM/NCT) which is shitty as well, because they have other members that should be respected because they are bringing her views (which is why I think she has them there). And worst of all, she asks who they are dating…..like that’s asking a female actress here “oh, so did your superhero costume allow you to wear panties and a bra”…..yeah, it’s fucking rude and literally has no real meaning on their music. And I’d you don’t know, Korea is very small and you literally can take a day trip around the country. So if a crazy stalker or an anti-fan heard they were dating and came to where they live, they might be harmed. That makes that question very wrong and I don’t know why anyone would ask it. Now I will address I have been a K-Pop fan (not Stan) since 2009 and I still listen, but I point this out because Ellen treats these very popular artists wrong and literally even got hate from SuperM members, since they saw these cool videos of American celebrities get to have fun and they got boring and rude questions. And she is making money off them with the views they bring. So I think she’s a bitch for being rude and a user. Especially when you look at James Corden, who has had many K-Pop artists since 2016 I think on his show and really gives them fun things to do. And this isn’t only a Ellen thing. Most news outlets and interviewers treat K-Pop artists like they aren’t big on music charts, blowing up views on TH-cam, and literally funding America (especially SM, since they buy a lot of Demos from western artists/companies). I mean they have literally taken over stuff but get treated differently because they aren’t “American”, which is funny, because so weren’t the Beatles, Queen, One Direction, and many other artists I can think of now, but they get respect and such because of knowing English (even though many K-Pop Idols can sing in English and many of them are from Western countries). Sorry for this being so long and I know I’m going to be called a Stan, but I’m really not. I love music and I find the way K-Pop has this “we don’t start drama to just start drama” really nice with “feuding” western artists and seeing artists who put on amazing performances. And I do agree the K-Pop industry is messed it, but a lot of it is the Korean culture and that we also have the same problems. So that’s it. Thanks for coming to my TedTalk..lol!
I used to not know who Ellen was or what she did, but now that I know........I miss those days. She's honestly a pretty terrible "celebrity", boss, person, etc. Yet she seems to never get any form of punishment or get called out because gay. Though it is nice to see people talking about how bad she is instead of stanning her for being gay.
There really shouldn’t be a such an embarrassment behind being a stan. I’m a kpop fan myself but I don’t really make the difference between calling myself a kpop fan or a kpop stan. It’s really locals who care about that stuff. But yeah, the way she treats Asian artists is horrible. As an NCTzen myself I can’t watch pretty much all of their American interviews or read articles about them (or any group, for that matter) from western sources because there’s this weird otherization of kpop idols in the way that these people see them as sort of less than human? Like they’re not really people and just cute things to look at that’ll get their website/TH-cam page views. It’s disgusting. Makes me think about when I made the mistake of clicking on an article that had all of the 127 members listed on it but it was their real names and not their stage ones and also called Johnny and Mark by their Korean names Youngho and Minhyung. Like, why? The entire tone of the text was super… exhibitionist? Like, they were saying “wow! Look at this kpop group with TEN members, that’s right, folks, TEN! Isn’t that so many?!” As if locals are gonna be able to know or remember who Jung Yoon-oh or Dong Sicheng are versus Jaehyun and Winwin. Anyways, thanks for coming to my TED Talk / rant. I’ve been needing to tell people about this.
I'm not learning a entire goddamn language to understand what a particular part of Asia sings about, I like Japan and can tolerate Japanese music even if I have no idea but with Korea and especially their poor relationship to my sweet dear Japan, hahahahahahahahahahaha no.
@@eeveeofalltrades4780 As a gay man, I hate how most gays that get popular are the bad ones. Like seriously, why her!? Why not IDK, Cam Clarke!? Cam Clarke is a LEGENDARY voice actor!!! Like, seriously I'm pretty sure people like her are only making more LGBT+ people commit self-deletion.
"Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure" has a really nice Lineless Art Style and Character Designs; so nice, that I kinda wish the original movie made use of that art style (not just saying that because I want 2D Theatrical Releases to make a comeback).
Tangled was in fact supposed to be animated in that style, but for whatever reason Disney wasn't able to get it to work properly for what they wanted -- that's their excuse anyway, they could also have been spooked after the under-performance of Princess & The Frog. It sucks that Americans hate 2D animation nowadays, at least for cinemas.
I always thought Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure took inspiration of from the personal art style of Claire Keane, concept and production designer of Tangled and daughter of Disney Renassaince animator, Glen Keane (who was almost the director of Tangled before stepping down to a producer role). Rapunzel was modeled after Claire as Glen's loving tribute to her, even had Rapunzel's habit of painting murals in her tower be a way of him granting her childhood wish of painting her bedroom however she wanted (Rapunzel's murals were provided by Claire Keane, herself).
That show has some gorgeous shots, too. Two that really stood out to me were Varian's Let Me Make You Proud reprise (when he stands up) and Rapunzel's hair coming undone when she recites the Decay Incantation. That show was really slept on
I seem to be an outlier in that I actually get along well with my elders by default. The fact that all their knowledge and experience is being ignored by basically everyone these days is beyond tragic. Especially considering how much trouble could have easily been avoided if people actually learned their history. I would hope that an idea like yours could help with that, because for all the radical changes of the past couple generations humans are still the same as we've always been there's a shared foundation to build on regardless of generation, it just needs the right framing to bridge the gap.
Well, there is some (fake) child acting that I do actually admire! - Debi Derryberry (Jimmy Neutron) - Pamela Segal Adlon (Milo from The Oblongs, Bobby Hill from King of The Hill) - Nancy Cartwright (Bart Simpson from The Simpsons, Chucky Finster from Rugrats) - EG Daily (Tommy Pickles from Rugrats)
When people say ANY FORM of the “it’s for kids” argument, I have always dragged out this rebuttal, If anything, due to it being aimed at children it should be held to a higher standard THAN THIS, children are impressionable, they’re not dumb but they learn a lot from those of seniority, which is partially why you may hear often “please don’t swear in front of the children”, the problem with the “just for kids” argument is also that people think “Oh it’s aimed at children we could make it total shit like Caillou was, who cares if kids actually become bratty because it works for Caillou, we don’t need to add any moral standings besides what the episode is supposedly teaching, if we can even call it that.” Entertainment needs to be held at higher standards than Caillou standards, picture Caillou as the lowest point of “educational” TV for children, stay above that and you will do just fine
That really depends though. I don’t think every kid thing needs to be some breathtaking masterpiece or needs to appeal to my cynical adult sensibilities, but what exactly is the nature of the work? Is it for little toddlers or older kids? Is it teaching any questionable morals? Does it attempt to have more mature themes or intricate characterization that only older audiences will get more out of? Just my two sense.
@@alexgomez6723 In the short term? Sure, it worked. The brats shut up for half an hour and you get to get on with your work. In the long term? They might be getting the wrong idea about what is and isn’t acceptable. Kids aren’t exactly dumb but they are “inspired” pretty easily. Monkey see, monkey do, as they say.
“Celebrities almost universally make terrible children’s books!” The only good children’s book written by a person in television that comes to mind is How Murray Saved Christmas, written by former Simpsons writer Mike Reiss, but I’m not sure that counts because he was a writer and not a performer. Then again they later crapped all over it when it was adapted into a TV special, which Reiss himself was involved with…
@@ShadowWolfRising The book or the TV special? Personally I thought the TV special was a bit disappointing, but you can like what you like. Not gonna judge.
7:35 Nickelodeon’s The X’s is also a good example of no outlines done right. The backgrounds are mostly static colors so that the characters don’t blend into the background. Also the designs of the characters are mostly geometric so they don’t feel to complex
Same with CN's Foster's. All the characters were kept bright and colorful and the backgrounds were kept muted so characters always stood out. Giving them such creative designs helped them be more visible too. (Also, I really enjoyed The X's. It's pretty obscure now, but I liked it when it aired.)
"Before you say anything, I made my bad children's book BEFORE I got famous! So there." ...Damn it! We've been beaten! Pack it in boys, we're going home.
it could be me being a nostalgia biased, but as someone who remembers Little Bill, not exactly fully watching it, I don't see that show being bad. Keep in mind this was BEFORE the big controversy downfall of Cosby's career, which is sad given I like watching his show "Kids say the darnest thing" before the scary reality of what he did. With Little Ellen, I remember someone showing me upcoming shows for the new future being told for idk what reason why this was claimed to be aiming towards kids, this to me has every right to be shamed on BECAUSE of it being made AFTER her big downfall career. This show will tank fast.
His controversy notwithstanding, Bill Cosby's "Himself" is an amazing piece of stand up that holds up really well. A lot of his work does, for better or worse.
@@MrDj232 Add to the fact that both the prosecution and media were conflating him offering the drugs with the idea of him slipping them drugs. Plus they violated his 5th Amendment rights.
@@MrDj232 Exactly too many people don't research for facts themselves Many of the women who came forward were never crossed examined because of the overwhelming evidence that would prove them liars was witheld. Altered, audio, Deposition taken out of context and violation of Cosby's 5th Amendment rights, etc.
With Cartoon Network going back to past ideas that have failed miserably with their Pre-K block and their upcoming live action block. It has me genuinely worried about the network’s future.
I'm having flashbacks to the G3 MLP reviews. I distinctly remember making a card in 1000 Blank White Cards about the ponies that stare into peoples' souls.
Dancing seems to be an important part of the show, which is odd as the real Ellen has all the grace, rhythm, and dancing skill of an arthritic old man.
This may not be the best cartoon review I've seen (even on this channel), but the EDITING? Sublime. A major step up from anything I've seen in a long time. Really tied the whole thing together. I hope to see and hear more like it in the future.
He has changed a lot. As much as I still love his earlier videos, I have to admit that the editing in those were subpar even for TH-cam standards at the time (still better edited and made than Filipino local TV shows, though). Mr. Enter’s editors do a great job with editing his videos.
I used to watch her a lot, but I like many stopped when the controversy arrived Watch her so called “apology” from the premiere of Season 18 back in September 2020. It’s cringe and half hearted
"Not hearing about the Ellen scandal is borderline impossible." Except for people like me who didn't care about her or her show. Sooooo, yeah. No matter how many Millions of views people might get. Never forget they're are Billions of people on the planet.
Well...I'll give you and Saberspark this: you both excel at making us double-take and go "Wait, this was a thing?" This was a REALLY funny episode! And yeah, I'll never get the excuse in defense of trash like this as "It's for a Pre-K demographic, so you have no right to criticize," to which I have this to say in rebuttal, "Any form of art you put out to the public is subject to scrutiny, therefore this is fair game." All is fair in love & war, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, everyone's a critic, and all that jazz... I like jazz, just not...this...this! :/
@@Channeleven2345789 He also does that annoying thing where he makes random words in the title all caps. I hate it when TH-camrs do that, it just looks like clickbait.
If anything, content for preschoolers should be especially subject to criticism since it’s being absorbed by the minds of incredibly young children. A lot of care should go into creating content for that particular demographic. On an unrelated note, you seem to have an advantage over the autobot Bluestreak: you’re actually blue.
@@David_the_Psalmist Exactly! I don't understand the thought process of "It's for kids, kids are stupid, they'll watch anything, so we'll make anything that kids like." Yeah, Imma counter that with even as a kid I fucking despised Barney, so no, kids are immature, not stupid, there's a difference. Kids are able to start thinking cognitively and develop critical problem-solving skills at the ages of 2-3 years and older, so it's important to foster the development of said skills with shows that tackle such skills on a fundamental level that doesn't talk down to them; so few children's shows understand this it's appalling and deeply concerning. >.> Also, yes, though I'd been hinging on the idea of changing my username for a while now. I don't know why I've stuck with it for as long as I have now. XD
For anyone talking about what he said about The Ghost and Molly McGee & Centaurworld, he was meaning that he thought they were the only good cartoons of 2021. Though with him only mentioning those 2, I'm wondering if this means he has not seen Invincible and Arcane, considering how everyone says how great they are.
"2021 is one of the worst years for animation of all time" I don't know if I would go that far. Don't get me wrong a lot of garbage animated films and shows did get released last year but I felt there was a handful of really good ones---Arcane, Invincible, Sunset Paradise, Murder Drones, Star Wars: The Bad Batch, The Legend of Hanuman, Tear Along the Dotted Line, Maya and the Three, Kid Cosmic, Inside Job, just to name a few.
Man, I used to watch Little Bill all the time when I was like four or five. After what happened with Bill Cosby, I can't look at that cartoon the same way again.
@@MediaNutso This brings up a genuine argument on how much we could or should separate "art" from the "artist". No one can deny Bill Cosby is a scumbag and, we now know, has been for a long time, but the work he did for television was important for the medium. Fat Albert, badly animated as it was, talked about things never seen in a kid's show before. The Cosby Show was the first sitcom where AA weren't poor.
Honestly, the art style isn't bad. At all. It's actually very cute. The eyes not having highlights isn't that bad or creepy. I think it's because the eyes are colored with gradients. Ellen's mouth disappearing on her face is a valid criticism because none of the other characters seem to have that problem. _Tangled: the series_ and _Wild Kratts_ also don't use outlines. I mean, I'm not the biggest fan of those art styles either, but at least be fair about it.
Exactly! I might not like Ellen at all, but the art style it's really cute itself! I'm pretty sure this wouldn't be as look down upon as it is if it wasn't because of it being related to Ellen
The weird thing is, is that 2021 was one of the best years for adult animation we had Arcane, Invincible, Inside Job, Helluva Boss, Close Enough season 2 & the new South Park specials
15:58 I just realized something: Ellens reflection in the mirror is NOT looking in the proper direction. For some reason instead of mirroring where ellen is looking at(which is the cat in this scene) the reflection is looking AT the cat instead of mirroring ellens eyes, which makes it look like ellens reflection is staring at the floor, how did they fuck reflections up so bad?
What is even the point of this show? Not only making a show on one of the most controversial TV personalities of all time, but educational babies show? What? She’s anything but! She doesn’t even have anything to do with kids media (Asides voicing Dory, which only makes it even more gut wrenching, and I’m not counting that book either for the fact other celebs do this). It’s kind of the opposite of the show The Prince, which is about a kid personality in a Family Guy clone (Seriously? How much do you need of these trolling shows?). On short, that cat in the cartoon is showing exactly what I feel about this ludicrous idea.
i actually really like the art style its cute, though it doesn't bother me i think the problem with the eyes is that the irises seem to be styled after baby doll eyes, adding to the uncanny valley feeling.
I hadn't heard of these Ellen controversies, but I did have a vague idea that people don't like her. I've long since become desensitised to celebrity scandals.
I've seen Little Dory before and it looks and feels like something that was made to cash in on her former glory. Also, I have one thing to say about Little Bill now: the cutout artstyle with little to no outlining *worked* for it and the theme song rocks and stands out from the rest of the show, memorably so. This? Not so much. *beat* The Ghost and Molly McGee, really? How is that awful (or am I mishearing?) Also, what about Green Eggs and Ham? Or is that also bad? - because I'm still waiting for season 2 of that show.
I wouldn't say that 2021 was a really terrible year for animation as we have shows like Invincible, Eliott From Earth, Inside Job, Arcane, the revival of Tuca And Bertie, and as for a better 2021 Preschool series, I think Gabby's Dollhouse is a pretty fun show as we had terrible shows aimed for preschoolers like Thomas And Friends: All Engines Go and Little Ellen especially that they are a rough start on Cartoonito being CN's preschool block, not only that but I think that the Johnny Test revival (as a surprise) and Jellystone are pretty good shows.. I do hope that 2022 is a good year for animation as we are having a pretty good start with We Baby Bears and Smiling Friends. As for Ellen herself....man....she did change for the worse and how the cartoon itself is predictable and that the eyes do need a little eye shine as it would look a little less creepy.
Trese was also quite good. It’s a better representation of Southeast Asia than Disney’s Raya and the Last Dragon. And it’s surprising having a show of such high quality come from the Philippines, considering how our productions often have even worse production values than the regular TH-camr schmuck. I am not exaggerating when I say Mr. Enter’s earliest videos are even better edited and well-made than most Filipino shows and films. Hell, Star Giant Productions’ Mr. Enter videos are even better made than most Filipino shows and movies. And then comes Trese, which is honestly extremely well-made even for Hollywood standards.
If I remember correctly, the cartoon Madeline was meant to be set in the 1930s/1940s, since that when the books came out. The show even ran with that idea like having an episode focusing on Harry Houdini, who was still alive at the time. So it’s not impossible for a preschool show like Little Ellen to do something similar with the 1960s
Not gonna lie, there's really nothing wrong with the designs here. There's a LOT worse that has been made that looks 1000 times worse than these designs. If anything, it's just the fact that Ellen's name is plastered all over this is the real issue here
I think they released Little Ellen at such a "bad" time in attempt to rage bait and garner publicity and sales. Overall, it's seemingly quite a generic cartoon, so otherwise nobody would see it without Ellen's name attached to it, even if only watching to hate. Honestly the artstyle is kind of cute, although clearly on a budget, I don't understand why Enter finds it so repulsive. It's clearly not in the same category as Problem Solverz.
They also released a Thomas the Tank Engine reboot last year that looks dreadful and trend-chasing. And there’s also Chicago Party Aunt, which looks bad.
for as much shit there was in 2021 there were gems like Invincible and Arcane, not to mention the shows that were coming out of the anime side of things
From the art (style, not direction) the show looks like it could be so cute if it wasn’t based of Ellen specifically. I agree with your criticisms on the line and color.
Thank you for bringing the existence of this show to my attention. I needed something else to remind me why 2021 was awful. (This was a great video, dude.)
As an infant/toddler teacher the Jimmy Fallon mama and papa books are a big hit with one years olds and are pretty great introducing them to animal sounds and common objects
I honestly think the artstyle of this show is great. I am probably the only one but i love how picture book artstyles and this is probably the best one.
"2021 was one of the worst years for animation." Um... excuse me? You're clearly only saying that because you had no idea where to look. For every bad cartoon last year, there was an awesome one. For every Kamp Koral, there was a Kid Cosmic.
@@snnnaaaaaakeeeee4470 Honestly, I think he's going for exaggeration. The art style of this show isn't bad at all. I'd compare it to _Tangled tge Seriea_ or _Wild Kratts._
@@snnnaaaaaakeeeee4470 I think he's referring to new TV network shows, then again, 2021 was just as bad as 2020 in some regards that it took another toll on his mental health. Not sure we're all speculating here, hope he does get to catch up. But we already know what his opinion on S5 Rick and Morty is.
Granted I didn't watch all of his recent episodes, but given the criticism of his character, Caillou did get better in the later episodes, when they added a game at the end of the show where Caillou would "ask" the audience to play a game with him.
Oh my Lord you're channel is still alive. That's awesome you're were my favorite youtuber awhile ago and I am glad to catch up on you're content. I hope it's been going smoothly mate.
The fact that something like this even exists and is peddled to the very, very young people of our day, speaks more volumes on where we're at as a society then most folks tend to think. The ancient Greeks did say though, when the Gods were ready to bring an end to a civilization, they would first make the people go mad. Not because they saw mortals as playthings mind you, but because they saw civilization had become too dirty to clean.
One positive note I'll give, seeing these clips of the show, is that Charlie is hecking cute! He looks like a cat that'd love a lot of pats and to keep you company! I've been a dog-cat person for a long while now and I love seeing all sorts of personalities shown in these animals, just like real life. I can only hope going forward, we get more cartoons/media in general that reinforce this instead of the same old "cats are mean, and dogs are dumb!" Oh, and I try not to think about Little Bill either. It's sad, I really loved that show. It's responsible for me trying and enjoying what I consider to be my food guilty pleasure: peanut butter on a hot dog. Additionally, I just love seeing black people in animation (because I love being shown 'yeah, you can be anywhere and do anything', it really resonates with me and brings about feelings of belonging and optimism), and it (along with Static Shock and Proud Family) really helped me realize that about myself as a kid.
Yea, it was a little confusing the way he worded it, but I think he was using the fact that only “The Ghost and Molly McGee as an example of shows people would say, “Well, 2021 wasn’t that bad.” Also, Smurfs doesn’t usually get a good rap these days so when Smurfs gets ANOTHER reboot, it’s not typically a pleasant news to hear.
The Ellen and her cousin thing is causing me to flashback to the awful Sailor Moon English dub with Sailor Uranus and Neptune and the network moral gaurdians screaming "No, it's ok, they're not lesbians, they're just cousins!!!!!!!"
Alright, I'm not saying the show isn't garbage, it probably is. But I don't see how their designs are uncanny. Ellen looks pretty adorable to me (Even though it feels incredibly weird saying that, considering it's supposed to be Ellen DeGeneres)
I honestly didn’t know Ellen even made a cartoon until I saw this review. I gotta say it looks abysmal. You really tore this show apart and that’s always my favorite thing about your Animated Atrocities. You don’t hold back.
16:13 I think whoever wrote that line saw one of Enter's videos mocking/ranting about that gag and put it in the show, hoping he'd review it one day, just to troll him. XD
I see a lot of parallels between now & the 60s. So Ellen should be able to relate to these kids more. & personally I think it takes a special kind of person to be able to connect with and relate to children as an adult, but maybe that’s just me.
Life with Louie is a great cartoon made in the 90's. It tells a fictionized story about comedian Louie Anderson's childhood. It was well written and funny.
I've seen pre school shows from little bear to rollie pollie Ollie to a myriad of other shows and blues clues and even sesame street and Mickey Mouse stuff. This seems like it's just somewhat more mature than that. The jokes for one are better suited for middle school aged children in my opinion. Like the coming out of the closet and relationship jokes. Those will fly over any pre schoolers head. The adventures and dialogue are also better suited to older kids. The trench coat thing... most preschoolers won't appreciate that trope the way an older kid would. Doesn't seem like a great concept. Plus the singing is terrible. The character building messages are lacking as well it seems. Adults and older children won't be sticking around unless they are beyond bored or like binging on terrible movies and shows. Or if you are like what I used to be and couldn't really discern grades of quality. Overall it's execution isn't great, good, or decent. Plus it probably should have been tanked when Ellen started going down the drain. I have heard the drama... I just largely ignored it.
Mr. Enter in 2017: But I do try to ignore shows like this because terrible toddler shows are very easy targets… Mr. Enter in 2022: *Reviews Little Ellen…*
I lose a little more respect for John each time he references a channel like The Right Opinion. (and yes their videos are absurdly lengthy) How long until he starts quoting Ben Shapiro?

I think the worst part about Ellen forcing Mariah to come out about her pregnancy was that Mariah miscarried after her appearance on the show. Ellen always seemed like she enjoyed embarrassing her guests way too much for my liking.
Omg thats so sad, now im really mad about Ellen, that insensitive pr!ck!😢😡
even worse, she miscarried *before* appearing on the show
@@woobgamer5210 WTF?! Surprised Mariah wasn't crying on stage!
Her Wikipedia article seems devoid of any of these claims, or Mr. Enter's, someone must be policing it
Wait what? Really? That may have been why she didn't want to say anything. Didn't want to tell everybody just in case a miscarriage could happen. Maybe she's had miscarriages before, but I don't know. That's really sad what happened.
If I was in Ellen's shoes and forced a pregnant woman to drink alcohol I would be expecting a lawsuit.
That was the first I'd heard about that, and I'm absolutely disgusted. Watching it made me feel sick. What an asshole.
Sorry what now.
I'm surprised Mariah didn't destroy her.
I sang your first comment in the melody of “Two Minutes to Midnight” before even seeing the second comment haha
It was an ultimatum, though that doesn't justify her doing it in the least.
Every time a cartoon intro has the protagonist say "That's me!", you know it's going to be eye-rollingly saccharine.
Molly McGee: EXCUSE YOU!?!?!
Edit:BTW, he doesn't hate that show or Centaurworld. When he said "inbetween that", he was pointing out the good shows inbetween so many bad shows. And I actually watched Jellystone, it's not that bad! It's more hit or miss
Edit: same with the Johnny Test reboot. I'd even say it's better than the post Kids WB era!
The only time a protagonist can say "That's me!" is Ask Ashley on All That!
Four words: Diary of Protagonist-chan
Was that seriously your first red flag against Mickey Mouse Clubhouse?
@@NobodyC13 honestly the only noteworthy character I could remember with that line.
There is a reason why the MLP show made sure to put little white dots over the characters' pupils. Because if you don't include those, then you get exactly this kind of uncanny valley.
not that uncanny to me
The color gradient on the irises don’t help things ether they should have been a solid color.
Do not say that illegal name okay?
It depends on what kind of vibe that you want on the animation. If you want a cartoony style, you don't have to put realistic highlights and gradient is fine. However, Little Ellen gives off a more detailed look, when the eyes look creepy without highlights.
I Never really had a Problem with Characters having No White dots in their eyes in this show. . . I Actually prefer them that way!
the episode about ellen's cat being depressed could be an accurate metaphor: the cat is a stand-in for the audience, while the other characters are the show trying to entertain you
The cat could also be ellens co-workers after dealing with the bullshit for so long
Or like the South Park episode where Paris Hilton's dogs kept killing themselves.
that moment when the only likable character is the cat
@@candydream16 cat straight up carries the show lol
The cat was the best part

WHY IS THERE ANOTHER CARTOON WITH A YOUNG GIRL TWERKING!? WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING?!
cause we live in a new feminist age. or some kind of age that makes it ok for young girls to be "twerking". next gen is already ruiend
Oh, yeah, this too. AN EDUCATIONAL SHOW! Where is your shame, people?! 🤮
I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure children twerking in child media has absolutely nothing to do with feminism.
(Not sure if you're joking or not.)
Because networks may wanted be “kid friendly” but wouldn’t give a shit when they writer are being creepy. Seriously it seems that Elise gate has creep into tv.
did dan schneider make every single one of these............cause that's all that'd make sense!
Well at least Jackie Chan Adventures still holds up, despite being a celebrity endorsement cartoon!
Because it was an action cartoon with decent plot and interesting villains
I loved that show growing up. Maybe I should go back to that show to see how well it stands up
And class of 3000
And Mike Tyson Mysteries.
I enjoyed Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi
The sad thing is that the animation studio for this is Lighthouse Studios, a studio in Ireland co-owned by Cartoon Saloon ( Wolfwalkers, Song of the Sea, Secret of the Kells) and Mercury Filmworks (the 2013 animated Mickey shorts, Tangled the Series, Wander Over Yonder, Kid Cosmic). The fact two of the best indie animation studios could not save this animation wise is baffling
Lighthouse Studios is apparently working on The Cuphead Show, though. So that’s good.
@@HydraSpectre1138 Yes, doing additional animation for Mercury Filmworks who is doing the main bulk of the animation
Mercury film works also works on the ghost and molly mcgee
I love Song of the Sea and The Secret of Kells, I can't believe that they made something like this
They probably didn't put any passion or effort into this show, knowing just how bad it would be.
If you want a very good modern pre-school show then just watch Bluey. It's oddly wholesome, handles it's messages really well, has a banger ost, doesn't have obnoxious child acting and has much better writing compared to a lot of other stuff they make for younger kids nowadays, especially this garbage.
EXACTLY! I thought Bluey was pretty good. It has passion and my nephew watches it alot hehe
i really love bluey, it’s just a bummer that we aussies don’t retain international distribution rights, so the studio doesn’t make the money it deserves
Bluey is such a lovely show
Sofia the First and Elena of Avalor are surprisingly good too.
There's also Muppet Babies 2018 and We're Lalaloopsy (funny coincidence with both of those shows being some form of reboot).
One exception to the “celebrities make horrible children’s books” rule is Jamie Lee Curtis- her kid’s books are great and pretty heartfelt!
I think that is because she doesn't insert herself into her books. I loved those books as a kid.
Julianne Moore had some decent kids books too
What?? I never heard of them! What books? I'm very curious
@@Kakmanmartinez666 One of them is called Tell Me Again About the Night I Was Born and another is called When I Was Little. Look them up if you have the chance.
@@litlblkhouse thank you!
At least Little Bill was easy on the eyes and was made before the Cosby controversies.
Yeah, I loved the show and I never even knew that it was supposed to be about Bill Cosby until I was older
You died a hero or live long to order a pizza
before we knew what bill cosby was really like.
@@tidepodpadthai2633 Apparently "Little Bill" was modeled after Cosby's late son, not the man himself, so you can kind of maybe distance it _a bit_ from him.
But yeah, Cosby was already a predator when he made that show. We just didn't know it yet.
I agree Quick Man.
Ellen getting everything at the end despite the moral being "you can't always get what you want" reminds me of those shitty conflict-free eighties cartoons
How else could it help stroke Ellen's ego?
I wouldn’t mind it if that wasn’t in _every, single_ episode. Or at least the moral be “You can’t always get what you want but sometimes things work out differently” like in that game night episode if it ended with Ellen and her friends not being allowed to join the adults but they make their own game night. Even _Monsters University_ managed to pull that off.
Or the real deal
Technically, that type of cartoon was a 70s thing
But if try sometimes... You just might, you just find **drum solo** You get what you need!
Surprised you didn't mention South Park in the section where you talked about the lineless art style. Because yes, fricking South Park, a show deliberately made to look crude, somehow got this right. While the backgrounds of the show are just as colorful as the characters, they're slightly more duller and static to not get caught up amongst the characters. And the characters are often dressed in outfits with varying different colors to try and make them stand out more and not blend in with the background.
Aren't they animated with Blender. . .
I Find it hard to believe that characters who look like they're Flat 2D Cut-Out Characters; ARE ANIMATED WITH 3D Modeling Software!!
@@New3DSLuigi364 last I heard it was maya, but blender is always improving and they may have switched.
12 oz mouse is deliberately drawn to look like a preschooler drew, and the characters STILL mix in better
She’s always treated asian people bad. When Psy’s Gangnam Style was at it peak, she had him on the show and honestly it felt like she didn’t care. Like he was there to train Britney Spears the dance rather than talk to him and ask him about his songs. Then obviously the translator getting shit for not translating fast enough, which knowing a few words in a couple Asian languages, I know that translating them to understand stand in one language is pretty hard if they aren’t similar languages.
Then these next too are pretty fucking sad. She had BTS and SuperM (which is a subunit of guys from other groups, SHINee, Exo, & NCT/WayV, a group made from people of existing groups) and honestly treated them like some no named artists. She didn’t introduce them (which in Korea they do, but we are in America and that’s pretty sad, even though most have easy to say stage names and even she has said a Korean name, the director of Parasite; she just rather not give time of day to people she doesn’t care for). Then she only talks to the member who speaks English the best (RM in BYS and Mark in SuperM/NCT) which is shitty as well, because they have other members that should be respected because they are bringing her views (which is why I think she has them there). And worst of all, she asks who they are dating…..like that’s asking a female actress here “oh, so did your superhero costume allow you to wear panties and a bra”…..yeah, it’s fucking rude and literally has no real meaning on their music. And I’d you don’t know, Korea is very small and you literally can take a day trip around the country. So if a crazy stalker or an anti-fan heard they were dating and came to where they live, they might be harmed.
That makes that question very wrong and I don’t know why anyone would ask it.
Now I will address I have been a K-Pop fan (not Stan) since 2009 and I still listen, but I point this out because Ellen treats these very popular artists wrong and literally even got hate from SuperM members, since they saw these cool videos of American celebrities get to have fun and they got boring and rude questions. And she is making money off them with the views they bring. So I think she’s a bitch for being rude and a user. Especially when you look at James Corden, who has had many K-Pop artists since 2016 I think on his show and really gives them fun things to do.
And this isn’t only a Ellen thing. Most news outlets and interviewers treat K-Pop artists like they aren’t big on music charts, blowing up views on TH-cam, and literally funding America (especially SM, since they buy a lot of Demos from western artists/companies). I mean they have literally taken over stuff but get treated differently because they aren’t “American”, which is funny, because so weren’t the Beatles, Queen, One Direction, and many other artists I can think of now, but they get respect and such because of knowing English (even though many K-Pop Idols can sing in English and many of them are from Western countries).
Sorry for this being so long and I know I’m going to be called a Stan, but I’m really not. I love music and I find the way K-Pop has this “we don’t start drama to just start drama” really nice with “feuding” western artists and seeing artists who put on amazing performances. And I do agree the K-Pop industry is messed it, but a lot of it is the Korean culture and that we also have the same problems.
So that’s it. Thanks for coming to my TedTalk..lol!
I used to not know who Ellen was or what she did, but now that I know........I miss those days. She's honestly a pretty terrible "celebrity", boss, person, etc. Yet she seems to never get any form of punishment or get called out because gay. Though it is nice to see people talking about how bad she is instead of stanning her for being gay.
There really shouldn’t be a such an embarrassment behind being a stan. I’m a kpop fan myself but I don’t really make the difference between calling myself a kpop fan or a kpop stan. It’s really locals who care about that stuff.
But yeah, the way she treats Asian artists is horrible. As an NCTzen myself I can’t watch pretty much all of their American interviews or read articles about them (or any group, for that matter) from western sources because there’s this weird otherization of kpop idols in the way that these people see them as sort of less than human? Like they’re not really people and just cute things to look at that’ll get their website/TH-cam page views. It’s disgusting.
Makes me think about when I made the mistake of clicking on an article that had all of the 127 members listed on it but it was their real names and not their stage ones and also called Johnny and Mark by their Korean names Youngho and Minhyung. Like, why? The entire tone of the text was super… exhibitionist? Like, they were saying “wow! Look at this kpop group with TEN members, that’s right, folks, TEN! Isn’t that so many?!” As if locals are gonna be able to know or remember who Jung Yoon-oh or Dong Sicheng are versus Jaehyun and Winwin.
Anyways, thanks for coming to my TED Talk / rant. I’ve been needing to tell people about this.
I'm not learning a entire goddamn language to understand what a particular part of Asia sings about, I like Japan and can tolerate Japanese music even if I have no idea but with Korea and especially their poor relationship to my sweet dear Japan, hahahahahahahahahahaha no.
@@eeveeofalltrades4780 As a gay man, I hate how most gays that get popular are the bad ones. Like seriously, why her!? Why not IDK, Cam Clarke!? Cam Clarke is a LEGENDARY voice actor!!! Like, seriously I'm pretty sure people like her are only making more LGBT+ people commit self-deletion.
"Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure" has a really nice Lineless Art Style and Character Designs; so nice, that I kinda wish the original movie made use of that art style (not just saying that because I want 2D Theatrical Releases to make a comeback).
There is also Puffin Rock.
Tangled was in fact supposed to be animated in that style, but for whatever reason Disney wasn't able to get it to work properly for what they wanted -- that's their excuse anyway, they could also have been spooked after the under-performance of Princess & The Frog. It sucks that Americans hate 2D animation nowadays, at least for cinemas.
I always thought Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure took inspiration of from the personal art style of Claire Keane, concept and production designer of Tangled and daughter of Disney Renassaince animator, Glen Keane (who was almost the director of Tangled before stepping down to a producer role). Rapunzel was modeled after Claire as Glen's loving tribute to her, even had Rapunzel's habit of painting murals in her tower be a way of him granting her childhood wish of painting her bedroom however she wanted (Rapunzel's murals were provided by Claire Keane, herself).
Carmen Sandiego also uses line-less art to great effect.
That show has some gorgeous shots, too. Two that really stood out to me were Varian's Let Me Make You Proud reprise (when he stands up) and Rapunzel's hair coming undone when she recites the Decay Incantation. That show was really slept on
“Ellen made a cartoon”
I already don’t like where this is going…
You're right
I _love_ it
Which is a shame because she fooled me too
I really liked her as Dory though
I think a cartoon that takes place sometime in the past and is aimed at kids would be really interesting.
RIGHT? Teaching kids about how their parents lived their childhoods so they can make comparisons.
@@Voltorb1993 one issue, which generation? If it’s our generation it’s gonna be a mess.
I seem to be an outlier in that I actually get along well with my elders by default. The fact that all their knowledge and experience is being ignored by basically everyone these days is beyond tragic. Especially considering how much trouble could have easily been avoided if people actually learned their history. I would hope that an idea like yours could help with that, because for all the radical changes of the past couple generations humans are still the same as we've always been there's a shared foundation to build on regardless of generation, it just needs the right framing to bridge the gap.
Agree

When people say ANY FORM of the “it’s for kids” argument, I have always dragged out this rebuttal,
If anything, due to it being aimed at children it should be held to a higher standard THAN THIS, children are impressionable, they’re not dumb but they learn a lot from those of seniority, which is partially why you may hear often “please don’t swear in front of the children”, the problem with the “just for kids” argument is also that people think
“Oh it’s aimed at children we could make it total shit like Caillou was, who cares if kids actually become bratty because it works for Caillou, we don’t need to add any moral standings besides what the episode is supposedly teaching, if we can even call it that.”
Entertainment needs to be held at higher standards than Caillou standards, picture Caillou as the lowest point of “educational” TV for children, stay above that and you will do just fine
You should. These people should be put in their place.
That really depends though. I don’t think every kid thing needs to be some breathtaking masterpiece or needs to appeal to my cynical adult sensibilities, but what exactly is the nature of the work? Is it for little toddlers or older kids? Is it teaching any questionable morals? Does it attempt to have more mature themes or intricate characterization that only older audiences will get more out of? Just my two sense.
@@alexgomez6723 by higher standard I mean like don’t treat kids like they’re always thinking “pretty colors hehehe”
@@cyberdance4578 I mean sure, but if “pretty colors” is enough to satisfy them for an afternoon and keep them quiet, than did it really fail?
@@alexgomez6723 In the short term? Sure, it worked. The brats shut up for half an hour and you get to get on with your work.
In the long term? They might be getting the wrong idea about what is and isn’t acceptable. Kids aren’t exactly dumb but they are “inspired” pretty easily. Monkey see, monkey do, as they say.
“Celebrities almost universally make terrible children’s books!”
The only good children’s book written by a person in television that comes to mind is How Murray Saved Christmas, written by former Simpsons writer Mike Reiss, but I’m not sure that counts because he was a writer and not a performer.
Then again they later crapped all over it when it was adapted into a TV special, which Reiss himself was involved with…
I highly enjoyed that.
I believe Paul McCartney made a cute children's book
Lupita N'Yongo also wrote a good children's book Sulwe, but it was actually a personal project and not a cash grab
@@ShadowWolfRising The book or the TV special?
Personally I thought the TV special was a bit disappointing, but you can like what you like. Not gonna judge.
@@IsabellaCataldo TV Special, it's wasn't mindblowing or a masterpiece, but I found it enjoyable.
7:35 Nickelodeon’s The X’s is also a good example of no outlines done right. The backgrounds are mostly static colors so that the characters don’t blend into the background. Also the designs of the characters are mostly geometric so they don’t feel to complex
Same with CN's Foster's. All the characters were kept bright and colorful and the backgrounds were kept muted so characters always stood out. Giving them such creative designs helped them be more visible too. (Also, I really enjoyed The X's. It's pretty obscure now, but I liked it when it aired.)
I tend to forget that Nickelodeon's The X's was a thing... but the artstyle was good, I'll admit that.
Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure is another good one. A lot of the shots in that show are visually gorgeous because of how they use color.
That show deserved better
6teen is another show that does a good job with no outlines.

Ah, Ellen seems to be a fan of the dubbed Sailor Moon.
it could be me being a nostalgia biased, but as someone who remembers Little Bill, not exactly fully watching it, I don't see that show being bad. Keep in mind this was BEFORE the big controversy downfall of Cosby's career, which is sad given I like watching his show "Kids say the darnest thing" before the scary reality of what he did. With Little Ellen, I remember someone showing me upcoming shows for the new future being told for idk what reason why this was claimed to be aiming towards kids, this to me has every right to be shamed on BECAUSE of it being made AFTER her big downfall career. This show will tank fast.
When I've caught wind of the show's conception part of me is knowing that this show will probably be forgotten a lot sooner.
His controversy notwithstanding, Bill Cosby's "Himself" is an amazing piece of stand up that holds up really well. A lot of his work does, for better or worse.
@@MrDj232 Add to the fact that both the prosecution and media were conflating him offering the drugs with the idea of him slipping them drugs. Plus they violated his 5th Amendment rights.

My personal favourite was _"I hear in mono now, and everything is so much better."_
Clip it.
4:41 caught me off guard.
Dancing seems to be an important part of the show, which is odd as the real Ellen has all the grace, rhythm, and dancing skill of an arthritic old man.
This may not be the best cartoon review I've seen (even on this channel), but the EDITING? Sublime. A major step up from anything I've seen in a long time. Really tied the whole thing together. I hope to see and hear more like it in the future.
He has changed a lot.
As much as I still love his earlier videos, I have to admit that the editing in those were subpar even for TH-cam standards at the time (still better edited and made than Filipino local TV shows, though).
Mr. Enter’s editors do a great job with editing his videos.
It’s better cause he fired Rebecca
Never knew about all this scandal because I don’t follow celebrity news.
Yikes is all I gotta say.
I used to watch her a lot, but I like many stopped when the controversy arrived
Watch her so called “apology” from the premiere of Season 18 back in September 2020. It’s cringe and half hearted
"Not hearing about the Ellen scandal is borderline impossible."
Except for people like me who didn't care about her or her show. Sooooo, yeah. No matter how many Millions of views people might get. Never forget they're are Billions of people on the planet.
Yeah, plus I hate celebrity-based news because it's just a homogenous blob of awfulness. It's not a question of if or how they screwed up, only when.

I prefer Saber better in my opinion. At least he takes cartoons seriously.
If anything, content for preschoolers should be especially subject to criticism since it’s being absorbed by the minds of incredibly young children. A lot of care should go into creating content for that particular demographic.

@@David_the_Psalmist Exactly! I don't understand the thought process of "It's for kids, kids are stupid, they'll watch anything, so we'll make anything that kids like." Yeah, Imma counter that with even as a kid I fucking despised Barney, so no, kids are immature, not stupid, there's a difference. Kids are able to start thinking cognitively and develop critical problem-solving skills at the ages of 2-3 years and older, so it's important to foster the development of said skills with shows that tackle such skills on a fundamental level that doesn't talk down to them; so few children's shows understand this it's appalling and deeply concerning. >.>

I Agree. . .

@@TommyDeonauthsArchives Not everyone is interested in those two movies. . .

I’m not surprised he said that, what with his views on life.
It really depends if you are an optimist or a pessimist. Or more simply, do you focus on the gems or the shit.
So in short, this show is basically modern-day Caillou with Little Bill elements squeezed into it. Greeeeeat...
Whoever was the editor for this episode deserves a raise.
Man, I used to watch Little Bill all the time when I was like four or five. After what happened with Bill Cosby, I can't look at that cartoon the same way again.
Oh, my goodness, same…
same
Interesting tidbit about that: Cosby did name the character after himself, but he based Little Bill off of his late son.
same..........................god i'm scared.
@@MediaNutso This brings up a genuine argument on how much we could or should separate "art" from the "artist". No one can deny Bill Cosby is a scumbag and, we now know, has been for a long time, but the work he did for television was important for the medium. Fat Albert, badly animated as it was, talked about things never seen in a kid's show before. The Cosby Show was the first sitcom where AA weren't poor.
Honestly, the art style isn't bad. At all. It's actually very cute. The eyes not having highlights isn't that bad or creepy. I think it's because the eyes are colored with gradients. Ellen's mouth disappearing on her face is a valid criticism because none of the other characters seem to have that problem.
_Tangled: the series_ and _Wild Kratts_ also don't use outlines. I mean, I'm not the biggest fan of those art styles either, but at least be fair about it.
Tangled and Wild Kratts do it well though
Don’t really have anything to say but I like Tangled the Series and don’t see it mentioned often
Exactly! I might not like Ellen at all, but the art style it's really cute itself! I'm pretty sure this wouldn't be as look down upon as it is if it wasn't because of it being related to Ellen
Also isnt Ellen DeGeneres jumping into animation after her 2021 staff abuse stories coming out seem much of bad timing?
The weird thing is, is that 2021 was one of the best years for adult animation we had Arcane, Invincible, Inside Job, Helluva Boss, Close Enough season 2 & the new South Park specials

I just realized something:
Ellens reflection in the mirror is NOT looking in the proper direction.
For some reason instead of mirroring where ellen is looking at(which is the cat in this scene) the reflection is looking AT the cat instead of mirroring ellens eyes, which makes it look like ellens reflection is staring at the floor, how did they fuck reflections up so bad?
Oh wow, you're right!
This review was hilarious. Your commentary is so good in these recent reviews. Looking forward to the reexplosion of Enter in 2022.

@@SpriteXP404 I don't :D
What is even the point of this show? Not only making a show on one of the most controversial TV personalities of all time, but educational babies show? What? She’s anything but!
She doesn’t even have anything to do with kids media (Asides voicing Dory, which only makes it even more gut wrenching, and I’m not counting that book either for the fact other celebs do this).
It’s kind of the opposite of the show The Prince, which is about a kid personality in a Family Guy clone (Seriously? How much do you need of these trolling shows?).
On short, that cat in the cartoon is showing exactly what I feel about this ludicrous idea.
ego.
@@kaiserzaiser5002 No, this I know, but why educational show?
@@baryardeni9731 no clue, but if I had to guess it is because she believes herself to be the perfect role model for kids. But that is just a guess.
@@kaiserzaiser5002 If that’s the case, I don’t even know how to response to this, since I already explained it in my first comment.
Yeah, I agree. I'm tired of the Family Guy clone shows.
Lol I love the Meatcanyon version of Ellen where they have her as a demon that eats James Corden.
The hero we needed.
Very accurate depiction of her real self xD
i actually really like the art style its cute, though it doesn't bother me i think the problem with the eyes is that the irises seem to be styled after baby doll eyes, adding to the uncanny valley feeling.
I hadn't heard of these Ellen controversies, but I did have a vague idea that people don't like her. I've long since become desensitised to celebrity scandals.
I've seen Little Dory before and it looks and feels like something that was made to cash in on her former glory.
Also, I have one thing to say about Little Bill now: the cutout artstyle with little to no outlining *worked* for it and the theme song rocks and stands out from the rest of the show, memorably so. This? Not so much.
*beat* The Ghost and Molly McGee, really? How is that awful (or am I mishearing?)
Also, what about Green Eggs and Ham? Or is that also bad? - because I'm still waiting for season 2 of that show.
He meant that Centaur World & The Ghost and Molly McGee were the only good shows from 2021, and everything he mentions after that is bad.
I believe the implication was that Molly McGee and Centaurworld were at least okay and everything else he listed after those two were awful.
I think he was saying both that and centaurworld where the only two notable good shows of 2021, don't know for sure though
I Think he meant the ONLY shows he ACTUALLY Liked in 2021 were Centaurworld & The Ghost and Molly Mcgee
@@NIntender684 I saw that, yeah. I agree, Molly is the show I am eager to watch when it claws back on to TV. Green Eggs and Ham too.
I wouldn't say that 2021 was a really terrible year for animation as we have shows like Invincible, Eliott From Earth, Inside Job, Arcane, the revival of Tuca And Bertie, and as for a better 2021 Preschool series, I think Gabby's Dollhouse is a pretty fun show as we had terrible shows aimed for preschoolers like Thomas And Friends: All Engines Go and Little Ellen especially that they are a rough start on Cartoonito being CN's preschool block, not only that but I think that the Johnny Test revival (as a surprise) and Jellystone are pretty good shows.. I do hope that 2022 is a good year for animation as we are having a pretty good start with We Baby Bears and Smiling Friends. As for Ellen herself....man....she did change for the worse and how the cartoon itself is predictable and that the eyes do need a little eye shine as it would look a little less creepy.
Trese was also quite good. It’s a better representation of Southeast Asia than Disney’s Raya and the Last Dragon. And it’s surprising having a show of such high quality come from the Philippines, considering how our productions often have even worse production values than the regular TH-camr schmuck.
I am not exaggerating when I say Mr. Enter’s earliest videos are even better edited and well-made than most Filipino shows and films. Hell, Star Giant Productions’ Mr. Enter videos are even better made than most Filipino shows and movies.
And then comes Trese, which is honestly extremely well-made even for Hollywood standards.
You forgot Invincible...
Centaurworld actually was a gem too. It’s one of my favorite recent toons.
@@HydraSpectre1138 I have never heard about Trese until now, thank you
If I remember correctly, the cartoon Madeline was meant to be set in the 1930s/1940s, since that when the books came out. The show even ran with that idea like having an episode focusing on Harry Houdini, who was still alive at the time. So it’s not impossible for a preschool show like Little Ellen to do something similar with the 1960s
Not gonna lie, there's really nothing wrong with the designs here. There's a LOT worse that has been made that looks 1000 times worse than these designs. If anything, it's just the fact that Ellen's name is plastered all over this is the real issue here
I agree the animation looks pretty good tbh
It’s like when Dan Schneider plasters his name on all his shows.
I Agree. . .
I don't see anything wrong with Characters that DON'T have White dots in their eyes!
White dots in their eyes? What are you referring to?
@@Neon99 The light reflecting on their eyes.
There are some reasons why celebrities and talk show hosts shouldn't have or make a cartoon show and this video is a great explanation of that
Little Bill confused the hell out of me as a kid, I was like "is Bill Cosby a kid or an adult???"
I think they released Little Ellen at such a "bad" time in attempt to rage bait and garner publicity and sales. Overall, it's seemingly quite a generic cartoon, so otherwise nobody would see it without Ellen's name attached to it, even if only watching to hate.
Honestly the artstyle is kind of cute, although clearly on a budget, I don't understand why Enter finds it so repulsive. It's clearly not in the same category as Problem Solverz.
Hopefully Enter does a video about Craig of the Creek and giving it some attention. It has a classic vibe with modern storytelling.
They also released a Thomas the Tank Engine reboot last year that looks dreadful and trend-chasing. And there’s also Chicago Party Aunt, which looks bad.
10:04 Okay, I was listening on headphones and was surprised how the audio swapped to just one side. That is some clever comedy editing right there.
I heard this on a TV with surround sound speakers. Me too
Enter, your editing just keeps on getting better and better, every single time!
Cerra is actually the one editing the video, not Enter
@@ashes_blue Oh... yeah! That's right! I forgot! But Cerra is an amazing editor though.
"It's okay to be sad." Inside Out sure covered the topic of sadness better.
for as much shit there was in 2021 there were gems like Invincible and Arcane, not to mention the shows that were coming out of the anime side of things
Exactly. That honestly makes it one of the best years if anything
@@snnnaaaaaakeeeee4470 THIS
From the art (style, not direction) the show looks like it could be so cute if it wasn’t based of Ellen specifically. I agree with your criticisms on the line and color.
I still miss your old Shadowy Trenchcoat character you used to use.
Thank you for bringing the existence of this show to my attention. I needed something else to remind me why 2021 was awful.
(This was a great video, dude.)
There was a lot of good shows that aired that year though
@@cartoonfanatic And it was overall a better year than 2020 even if it too wasn’t great
4:47 This is MCU level of foreshadowing
"I'm like sixty five or something..." Why am I laughing so hard at this?
This show is a clear example on how important eye shines are. Without them, it makes your character look empty.
As an infant/toddler teacher the Jimmy Fallon mama and papa books are a big hit with one years olds and are pretty great introducing them to animal sounds and common objects
All jokes aside, I bet Little Al would be a funny show
How about another Little Bill but with Bill Cipher.
That already exists, it's called Milo Murphy's Law.
I honestly think the artstyle of this show is great. I am probably the only one but i love how picture book artstyles and this is probably the best one.
Too bad that's the only half decent thing about the show
The voice acting here is horrifying
"2021 was one of the worst years for animation."
Um... excuse me? You're clearly only saying that because you had no idea where to look. For every bad cartoon last year, there was an awesome one. For every Kamp Koral, there was a Kid Cosmic.
yeah at worst 2021 was a hit and miss year. I think 2020 was worse
Yeah Mr Enter clearly hasn't watched a lot of good shows or failed to seek them out
Did he complete forget about Arcane and Invincible, or is he just acting overly dramatic again?
@@snnnaaaaaakeeeee4470 Honestly, I think he's going for exaggeration. The art style of this show isn't bad at all. I'd compare it to _Tangled tge Seriea_ or _Wild Kratts._
@@snnnaaaaaakeeeee4470 I think he's referring to new TV network shows, then again, 2021 was just as bad as 2020 in some regards that it took another toll on his mental health. Not sure we're all speculating here, hope he does get to catch up. But we already know what his opinion on S5 Rick and Morty is.
Based on Little Ellen’s “everything falls into your lap” structure this show kinda makes Caillou look like Paw Patrol.
Granted I didn't watch all of his recent episodes, but given the criticism of his character, Caillou did get better in the later episodes, when they added a game at the end of the show where Caillou would "ask" the audience to play a game with him.
Good God that first clip was cursed as hell. Great video dude
For a moment I thought you were gonna put Centaurworld on your top 10 worst of the year list, glad that sentenced ended differently. :D
To think the same studio behind this also animated the upcoming CupHead cartoon.
Oh my Lord you're channel is still alive. That's awesome you're were my favorite youtuber awhile ago and I am glad to catch up on you're content. I hope it's been going smoothly mate.
The fact that something like this even exists and is peddled to the very, very young people of our day, speaks more volumes on where we're at as a society then most folks tend to think.
The ancient Greeks did say though, when the Gods were ready to bring an end to a civilization, they would first make the people go mad. Not because they saw mortals as playthings mind you, but because they saw civilization had become too dirty to clean.
8:12 That "Aye Aye Eyes" Dexter's Laboratory song brought me back man. Thanks for that.
One positive note I'll give, seeing these clips of the show, is that Charlie is hecking cute! He looks like a cat that'd love a lot of pats and to keep you company! I've been a dog-cat person for a long while now and I love seeing all sorts of personalities shown in these animals, just like real life. I can only hope going forward, we get more cartoons/media in general that reinforce this instead of the same old "cats are mean, and dogs are dumb!"
Oh, and I try not to think about Little Bill either. It's sad, I really loved that show. It's responsible for me trying and enjoying what I consider to be my food guilty pleasure: peanut butter on a hot dog. Additionally, I just love seeing black people in animation (because I love being shown 'yeah, you can be anywhere and do anything', it really resonates with me and brings about feelings of belonging and optimism), and it (along with Static Shock and Proud Family) really helped me realize that about myself as a kid.
14:36 What’s wrong with hugging? Heck, even Barney gives hugs like that!
Also, "The Ghost and Molly McGee" and the new Smurfs weren't that bad. Ellen's show felt a bit more offensive in comparison.
He was saying The Ghost and Molly McGee is good.
Yea, it was a little confusing the way he worded it, but I think he was using the fact that only “The Ghost and Molly McGee as an example of shows people would say, “Well, 2021 wasn’t that bad.” Also, Smurfs doesn’t usually get a good rap these days so when Smurfs gets ANOTHER reboot, it’s not typically a pleasant news to hear.
@@SuperSwordman1 I see. Thanks for clarifying it.
The Ellen and her cousin thing is causing me to flashback to the awful Sailor Moon English dub with Sailor Uranus and Neptune and the network moral gaurdians screaming "No, it's ok, they're not lesbians, they're just cousins!!!!!!!"
Alright, I'm not saying the show isn't garbage, it probably is. But I don't see how their designs are uncanny. Ellen looks pretty adorable to me (Even though it feels incredibly weird saying that, considering it's supposed to be Ellen DeGeneres)
And the voice acting does brother me.
@@Nothin2seehere-e4z Do you mean it doesn't bother you? Cause I'd agree, it seems fine to me.
I honestly didn’t know Ellen even made a cartoon until I saw this review. I gotta say it looks abysmal. You really tore this show apart and that’s always my favorite thing about your Animated Atrocities. You don’t hold back.
16:13
I think whoever wrote that line saw one of Enter's videos mocking/ranting about that gag and put it in the show, hoping he'd review it one day, just to troll him. XD
Almost all of the terrible shows of 2021 came out during or after TH-cam removed the dislike feature. I'm not the only one who realized that
4:47 - if you pause at the right moment, you'll see the indication of a future review.
there needs to be a Life With Louie renaissance. Now THAT was a decent celebrity kid cartoon.
Ellen's better as Dory
You know, I just wanna say its amazing what an actual, competent editor can do for this man.
I see a lot of parallels between now & the 60s. So Ellen should be able to relate to these kids more. & personally I think it takes a special kind of person to be able to connect with and relate to children as an adult, but maybe that’s just me.
Life with Louie is a great cartoon made in the 90's. It tells a fictionized story about comedian Louie Anderson's childhood. It was well written and funny.
RIP Louie Armstrong
The Tangled tv series is a pretty good example of how this art style could have been pulled off
I've seen pre school shows from little bear to rollie pollie Ollie to a myriad of other shows and blues clues and even sesame street and Mickey Mouse stuff. This seems like it's just somewhat more mature than that. The jokes for one are better suited for middle school aged children in my opinion. Like the coming out of the closet and relationship jokes. Those will fly over any pre schoolers head. The adventures and dialogue are also better suited to older kids. The trench coat thing... most preschoolers won't appreciate that trope the way an older kid would. Doesn't seem like a great concept. Plus the singing is terrible. The character building messages are lacking as well it seems. Adults and older children won't be sticking around unless they are beyond bored or like binging on terrible movies and shows. Or if you are like what I used to be and couldn't really discern grades of quality.
Overall it's execution isn't great, good, or decent. Plus it probably should have been tanked when Ellen started going down the drain. I have heard the drama... I just largely ignored it.
OMG, Little Bear, Blues Clues, as well as Franklin were major parts of my childhood!
I just got nostalgia whiplash
2:17 The Ellen DeGeneres Show is finally ending after Season 19. So happy to hear that.
Mr. Enter in 2017: But I do try to ignore shows like this because terrible toddler shows are very easy targets…
Mr. Enter in 2022: *Reviews Little Ellen…*
"The Right Opinion made a video over an hour long!"
*_Hmm, yes. The floor here is made out of floor._*
I lose a little more respect for John each time he references a channel like The Right Opinion.
(and yes their videos are absurdly lengthy)
How long until he starts quoting Ben Shapiro?
@@Soufriere84 wait, what happened with the right opinion?
@@PrinceYaock_TheHero Honestly? I have no idea.
@@Soufriere84 your respect is worthless to anyone but yourself.
