Very nice. Random instruments being used as voices reminds me of Dont Starve

Louie Zong made a couple other videos with these two

This particular short was an early entry in his "learn how to use Blender and make weird stylized 3D stuff" arc, which has also been fun to watch.

>>152362433
Neat

>>152362433
I can see why this wasn't picked up. It would have been great as a in between short for Sesame Street though

>>152364115
Yeah, it would have definitely fitted there.

>>152362518
I hope

>>152362433
I loved it!

It's okay but I am a bit worried if the subtitles were the right choice since kids are the target audience and having to alternate between reading and watching the animation. Maybe they should have communicated with icons or just have the music do the talking.

Lol kids can handle subtitles. Seems like Louie intentionally kept the characters' lines short enough to follow.

Louie is a very entertaining animator and a pretty good musician to boot. It's a pleasure to see him mix the two together because like you say he just does weird little shit

>>152368359
Yes.

>>152370396
It’s a short.

>>152371568
too short

Why did they sit on these for so damn long? If there are 24 of them some of them could've became shows. Really stupid.

>>152368565
kids find it normal to have subtitles on even in english

When this shorts program was originally conceptualised there were two types of cartoon that could be made: Shorts (7-minute pilots/one-offs/what-have-you) or Interstitials (shorter things for appearing between shows and cartoons).
With how Uncle Grandpa and LTC were structured (5-7 minute cartoons broken up by smaller shorts) I assumed Pete Browngardt wanted some sort of similar thing to that at some point but now they're just coming out on their own.

>>152368450
I'm thinking The All-nimal is coming next week, I don't know if you'd count the 'The' if you're putting it in alphabetical order.

>>152372729
what'd you pitch?

>>152362433
Heh, I was listening to this just before watching the short

I really like the artstyle. It kind of reminds me of the experimental styles you would see in the late 90s/ early 2000's.

>>152369123
Holy moly and I thought the Angel one’s 2023 trademark was egregious.

>>152373017
This was just something I got from a webinar they did back around the time they announced the program. This doc just described how to format a pitch and included a sample based on the short that became Tig n Seek (if anybody even watched that show).

>>152373237
Now, that’s ridiculous, utterly ridiculous.

>>152369917
I like busting this one out every Christmas
https://youtu.be/FbxPVHGv-vs?si=CL-EHsAovaS1uH-5

>>152372729
Damn I didn't know this was an open pitch thing. I thought it was just for Cartoon Network internal only.

>>152362433
It's very cute. Not something that could carry a whole series by itself, but a perfect "in-between" segment in a compilation of longer shorts

>>152375385
I think that was the plan.

>>152362433

Kinda sad that Disney dosn't want to make another shorts program after the flop that was Shorty McShort Shorts.

I hate that they keep their pilots for their new cartoons as something private.

Imagine making a shorts program where every single pilot fails and doesn't get released until five years later

IIRC, Disney thinks it's a waste of money to order pilots for shows that they won't be greenlit. They still prefer animatics and a animation test to show to a focus group ala old school

>>152378463
It’s pretty much the same reasons as to why they practically don’t make any merch for a show until it ends.

>>152378381
Nickelodeon made a few pilots around the pandemic, but I don't think any of those released

>>152379598
nick got famously butt blasted when adventure time went from being a nick-funded pilot to the number one show on cartoon network

>>152368565
I like the idea too and also think there should be a better way to communicate it, maybe doing something like what Bill Wurtz does?

>>152368638
I've heard kids today can't read, less put attention for more than a tiktok.

>>152379598
The pilot for what became Wylde Pak was made in 2019 for some shorts program, I don't think any of those shorts ever got released though.

>>152368565
Tell that to all the kids watching the subbed anime (Dragon Ball, Demon Slayer, etc.)

I really wish the lost media autists would go looking for stuff like this instead of pilots of babyshit no one gives a fuck about.

>Major Corporation: Why aren’t kids watching cartoons anymore?
>Also Major Corporation: Not making cartoons unless it’s a reboot for a aging fanbase and it’s nothing like the original

>>152378463

They have a point here, why waste time and energy in full animated pilot that will be passed anyways.

>>152381906
Don’t you know the kids market isn’t profitable anymore? We gotta make only reality tv shows for now on!

>>152368063
I'm excited to see this one

>>152379692
Only one they put out was the Rock Paper Scissors pilot and it wasn't much different from the show that eventually released. I know a Sponge artist who pitched a short for it and he told me the program pretty much died during production at some point which is why nothing much has really come of it.

>>152381181
was already leaked privately

>>152383608
was it in one of those old spongebob discord servers where they had episodes before they actually premiered on tv?

So they're saving the best for last

>>152385401
They're not releasing this. The last thing CN needs right now is a controversy.

>>152385401
I think they’re going in alphabetical order.

>>152385401
No

>>152385516
I compiled a list earlier cus the other list circulating is missing some shorts (understandably, mainly the ones that never got a social media spotlight):
>A for Angel - January 26
>Accordions Geoffrey & Mary Melodica - February 2
>The All-Nimal - February 9
>Buttons’ Gamezone - February 16
>Dang! It’s Dracula - February 23
>Duck - March 2
>Foools - March 9
>Fruit Stand at the End of the World - March 16
>Harmony in Despair - March 23
>Hungy Ghost - March 30
>I Love You, Jocelyn - April 6
>IScream - April 13
>The Journey to Donut Palace - April 20
>Madison and Skylar - April 27
>Mandie Mander - May 4
>Maude Macher & Dom Duck - May 11
>Mouthwash Madness - May 18

>Scaredy Cat - June 8
>Sleeping Giants - June 15
>The Good Boy Report - June 22
