Animators React to Bad & Great Cartoons 6 

Id love too see a part of an episode talking about 'Treasure Planet' and Tarzan for their incredible blending of hand-drawn 2D traditional animation and 3D computer animation. It was an incredibly novel technique and made Treasure Planet the most expensive traditionally animated movie ever made (also the Solar Surfer scene has got to be one of the most impressive traditionally animated scene's i have ever seen)

Eric is so humble. He always says “I was lucky enough to…” about things he does in his career. Maybe you are also super good at your craft, too! Own it!

I love episodes like this where y'all dive into the art of filmmaking even when it's an artistic medium you're not super familiar with. Something like sound designers react could be really interesting! I feel getting the sound right is another way to sell visual effects.

Gotta take a look at, “Arcane,” especially Ekko vs Jinx.

This guy is a true master of his craft. He's so well versed in the history of animation. Thanks for bringing his knowledge to the masses, this was incredible.

I wanna see a whole episode on Rango. Seriously underrated. I think getting Clint on to look at solely the surface imperfections they have on every material would be amazing.

8:07 I love how Eric puts it about how great animation is when animation is really handling things only animation can really handle. It's part of why I love animation so much. You can tell he's so passionate about the art form!

man the insight Erics brings to the show is just on another level. Its like he frikin ate the history of Animation and Cartoons, what a guy!

We really need some Tartakovsky on these videos, either as a reactor or just his shows. Primal just won an Emmy not too long ago.

I didn't know where else to leave this comment, but Arcane! ARCANE ARCANE ARCANE. That show needs its own episode. There's SO much style and beauty in the animation (currently part 2), and that would be amazing if you could get some of the animators on to talk about it.

Came here just to say y'all need a full episode on Arcane. Everything from the animation, characters, and plot are just so beautifully done the crew needs to review it.

“You couldn’t do this in CG.” Anyone else smell a new episode idea?

I'd love to see a classic animator like Eric looking at the internet era of animation. Things like Salad Fingers, and Cyriak, and OneyNG. Flash based, after effects comped based, new tools that aren't CG animation.

I came back to this video this evening just to tell you that you NEED to do ANY part of Arcane. It's the most incredible animation I've ever seen.

You know what would be a cool addition to this series? Video games. Some have art and tech that are truly beyond just a game. I don’t play much but I’d definitely be interested in watching.

11:42 it's pretty clear this episode wasn't Wren rated, poor thing.

"Gonna show you the dark and twisted side of animation..." _smash cut to korean animation sweat shop_

Hey Corridor, have you seen or heard about "Arcane"? It's an animated Series on Netflix about the world of League of Legends. I think it's really good and I would be very happy to see some reaction's and deep dives from you ☺️

Need you guys to do a react for Arcane, some of the best looking animation I have ever seen

I loved when he talked about the flame style on “A Night on Bald Mountain.” Disney is amazing at creating a style that extends through everything from flames to smoke to dust. I’d love to have you look at the difference in these style between Hercules, Mulan, and Aladdin. They are each so different.

For cartoons you should check out Samurai Jack, especially the last season. Over the Garden Wall is an amazing fall/Halloween series too

ARCANE!! My new favorite animated show and would love to see you guys break down the animation for it!

I love listening to him get excited and talk about the art form he loves. He’s one of my favorite guests that you guys bring on!

I'd love to see like a "Creatives react" where you bring in several of the previous guests from animators to CG experts and stunt professionals, and then you all react to a bunch of different mediums all together. Like an Avengers level Corridor video.

I love this guy, every time he's on, you can just tell how passionate he is about animation, his craft and everything about it. Talking about Childhood trauma cartoons this one still is vivid in my head; 1930s Animated Cartoon: Play Safe (1936) - Fleischer Cartoon - CharlieDeanArchives Lived in germany as a kid and this cartoon was pretty commonly played in the late 80's early 90's I guess, I would love to see this guy react to it, incredible animation and even includes miniatures and real life elements.

the "mom" in Burton's animation really reminds me of Mom in The Binding of Isaac. It is a videogame, but it's also technically animated. So is Cuphead. It would be really interesting to watch an episode centered around, or featuring animated videogames!

This was one of my favourite episodes to date! I love when Eric comes on to talk about animation, he has so much knowledge and respect for the cartoons of old that I love to see. Thanks for a fun spooky episode guys!

I always like seeing Eric on the show. He's got a lot to share about animation which is pretty interesting.

This was an awesome episode! It’s really nice to see you guys appreciate the hard work it goes into hand drawn animation. We are true fans of you Corridor!

I've seen Genndy Tartakovsky referred to as "an animator's animator", I'd love to hear Eric's thoughts on Primal.

There's an animation here on youtube about two kids getting ice cream that I think is really creepy and well done. What I really like about it is that they made it all from the perspective of the kids, so it's all exaugurated and distorted to be far more terrifying and fictional, but in a way we can relate to. Like a big scary adult, nonsense that we don't understand on the TV, feeling out of control, feeling small/helpless, not knowing what's possible to happen next, etc. It feels like it was a real horror scenario that was made worse purely in the mind of the child that experienced it.

How did a young Tim Burton have the clout to get one of the most iconic voices of horror to narrate that short? That's Vincent Price! Freaking VINCENT PRICE. If that was his first animated work, then Tim Burton started out on a serious high point.

As with every "Animators React" video, here's my request for a "Voice Actors React". Pretty sure Mark Hamill would love to sit on the couch and talk about the voice acting industry.

Would love to see you dissect Arcane animation. Fortiche did a mind-blowing job animating it.

Would love to see an Animators React to Arcane League Of Legends.

I love that Eric is so well versed in the history of not only animation but so many other art styles that he recognizes where certain cartoons get their inspiration. I love learning not only how things are done but where some of these shows originated and what inspired them

The first time I saw Watership Down I was in a children’s waiting room at the hospital because me sister broke her arm when I was 6 or 7. I don’t think the nurses knew what it was about. They probably just saw the cover and were like “Oh! Animated bunnies!” The main scene I remember from that time is this acid trip scene at the beginning because one of the bunnies had a premonition of “The field…it’s covered in blood” Btw the book is fantastic and I actually do like the movie now that I’m over the trauma of that first viewing.

I don't usually ask for what to react but I really want to see you guys react to Arcane from Netflix. It's so beautiful art mixed with 2d and 3d works. It's a great show to dig in.

My favorite bit of animation is from Fooly Cooly (FLCL) Season 1 Episode 1 when they go into a Manga form. The commentary on the DVD talked about how difficult it was to make because instead of just drawing a manga page, they had to make the entire sequence as one LARGE page with the animations and camera movement all timed out perfectly to start and stop at the right times. It was evidently a huge pain to pull off.

I love that Eric is a fellow alum of Miskatonic University. Anatomy and mythology were the best courses there.

The two spookiest cartoons I can think of are Courage the Cowardly Dog and Monster House. Would love to see some breakdowns! Thanks to Eric for being such an amazing guest! I love the passion and professionalism he brings to the episodes.

This is hands down the absolute best episode you guys have EVER done. Those 17 minutes just flew by, I was completely absorbed by it. Please, please, please continue the series of animation reactions!

You guys should do a Video based on either some of the older Riot (League of Legends) animated shorts or even an actual breakdown of certain phenomenal scenes in the new Arcane show.

I remember the 'Black Cauldron' having some wild animation as a kid... The Horned King was metal as fuck and the Army of the Dead looks so cool! Love this episode btw... Spooky

Several of the Don Bluth films gave me nightmares as a kid but I couldn't stop watching them. "All Dogs Go to Heaven" was one, but more particularly "The Secret Of NIMH". Both the imagery and subject matter felt dark and incredibly adult, yet was whimsical enough to keep a child invested.

This has been one of the most interesting to watch so far of the Animators React series. It ended too soon for me. I wish it was 4x longer! Thank you! :)

I will say the mashup of Night on Bald Mountain/Ave Maria in Fantasia is one of the most mind blowing yin-yang mashups ever and I love it. Everything I love about classical music I got from animation. If it was Disney or Warner cartoons it birthed a love of music that has never gone away.

Would love to see some Scooby Doo in here, TV animation is a whole other world and there were so many different techniques and styles used to make that show over the years that I think it would make for an interesting study.

I'd love to see basically any work from Kyoto animation being talked about in an apisode. The details and the polishment on their works is quiite unmached on animated TV series.

You need to talk about Arcane and Klaus on Netflix. They both have such interesting styles. A cool mix of 2D and 3D.

Can you do an episode on Arcane (Netflix show)? I really like their combination of 3D and 2D animation. Also I wonder how much mocap they did?

Princes mononoke, when the spirit of the forest is looking for its head, although the soundtrack does a lot of heavy lifting there. The one time I was genuinly creeped out by an animated anything as a kid.

It’s still blows my mind that every single drop of water in Sorcerer’s Apprentice was hand drawn. Truly masters of an art that will never be repeated

Ferngully: The Last Rainforest when Hexxus transforms into the skeleton. Freaked me out as a kid for sure!!

how about looking at some Arcane, it may be niche but i think the animation work and story telling is amazing.

I'd really like to hear your opinion on Batman: The Animated Series. In my opinion, it's one of the greatest animated TV shows of all time, along with Avatar: The Last Airbender (which I'm glad you've already covered).

I honestly wouldn’t mind if y’all had Eric on like at least once a week. He has such great passion for animation and there’s endless amounts of animation that are worth discussing.

I'd love to see more early animation, particularly the background sets Max Fleischer came up with. You talked about the rotoscoping but I was always fascinated by the rotating backgrounds on what i think were called Setback Rigs.

As someone raised in the UK back in the 80s, Watership Down was one of those movies we all HAD to have seen. "I don't know why they thought this was for kids" - I don't remember any of us kids being remotely traumatised by Watership down, just deeply affected, touched and saddened. It's just a brilliant story. Its great to have cartoons which teach you morals and how to treat other people and stuff, or even just scare you or make you laugh, but life is MUCH more than that, it's about pain as well, sacrifice and loss too, and you cannot protect kids from life. How do you introduce kids to truly difficult subjects? Watership Down does it amazingly well, regardless of whether the actual animation is as strong as Disney stuff but it wasn't animated by Disney, so I don't understand (unless I totally misunderstood) the whole Disney reference being made. It was a British made animation and, to be honest, it probably highlights the cultural differences of growing up in the UK to the US (particularly back then). If I recall, the film was incredibly popular and successful here in the UK, but whether that translated to the US market and whether US kids who saw it were "traumatised" I don't know. It is similar to Charlotte's Web though in the sense of not simply trying to pass on some wholesome message or moral be truly "affecting" kids, although it is much more visceral with its methods, lol. Nevertheless, I remember watching Charlotte's Web as as kid at that time too and being similarly affected at the end.

I think the guys might've misinterpreted the shaking animation at 7:28 . This technique of drawing offset duplicate lines is a good way to convey vibration in still images. You see it in comics/manga a lot, even today. I don't think it's about the flair of a sketchy look.

The Headless Horseman's evil laugh....hands-down one of the best.

Amazing Vid bros. Keep em at this level!!

for animators react: loving vincent (2017) its an animated film thats made up of all oil paintings done in vincent van gogh's style and is the world's first fully painted feature film. they also have a "making of" film of the process, that would be cool for y'all to react to and break down

You should absolutely react to "Destino" - the collaboration between SALVADOR DALI and WALT DISNEY. It actually had been left unfinished for a very long time (since they figured it was simply too complicated and expensive to animate) until they completed it many years later with help of some CGI (How fitting for the channel). It's a fantastic piece of surreal animation and it's easily available on RU-vid.

Love this guy. He seems so humble and really explains very well about his craft. Amazing

Guys hear me out, please give Arcane from riot games and fortiche production a shot. This tv show series is really well done, from cinematics to pacing, eye catching fight scenes and of course animation. Would love to see you guys react to it.

Love this Breakdown! It's pretty cool!

I don't know if its been done, but the Heffalumps and Woozles song from Winnie the Pooh and Elephants on Parade from Dumbo, are both wild nightmare LSD animated trips! Would be fun to see on the channel!

I'd love to see another similar series featuring graphics engineers and game artists talking about video game art.

I love this series of video ! So interesting ! I would be curious to see what you would have to say about european animation (either film or series) like The King and the Mockingbird, The secret of Kells, The Big Bad Fox and other Tales, Cinderella the Cat (Gatta Cenerentola), Princes et Princesses, Crisis Jung, ... Tossing a bunch of names here and hoping that maybe one will be picked out ^^ But either way it will be great ^^. Thank you very much for everything you create !

I would love to see your reactions and comments on Riot Games' "Arcane". Fortiche's animation style is somewhat similar to the style of Into the Spiderverse, yet very unique! Highly recommended!

This animator is so amazing. You can feel his passion and he has so much knowledge to share

As a kid "The Secret Of NIMH" was my go to "scary" animated movie. Still to this day, the animation is amazing. Mrs. Brisby was a freaking hero, risking her life to save her son.

i enjoy these Animators React episodes the most. Please keep them coming.

I definitely got took to school here. I do not draw or paint but getting to learn about different techniques. Then also getting to learn about clips that are now hidden in the deep depths of the interwebs and almost lost forever away from the next generation. This is awesome! All of your episodes are great, this one here though is special!

I'm wondering if Eric referred to him as "Ichabob" to not make Wren feel bad.

For an anime react: an exploration of "Sakuga" which refers to very specific often individually crafted moments of high fidelity animation. Things like Kakashi vs Obito or some sequences in Mob Psycho 100 are really awesome!

This one was a great episode, but I'm surprised there was no mention of "The Black Cauldron". My kids (and me) love it! Thank you guys, can't wait for the next spooky react!!🖤

Loved the show like always!! I would love to know some spooky facts about The Black Cauldron animation..... I still remember the impression it made on me. Thank you for all the effort.

Would be interested in the animator's take on "The Secret of NIMH" and "Titan, A.E.".

An animated movie that used to scare the crap out of me was The Secret Of Nimh. The Great Owl and the main villain always got to me the most, especially during the big fight at the end.

I love learning about everything that goes into animation and the history of it! I would be extremely interested in seeing you guys break down the movie Loving Vincent!

I’d really love to hear your guys thoughts on Gerald Scarfe’s animation in Pink Floyd: The Wall. The animation is perfect, and it does an incredible job at morphing from each subject to the next without seeming choppy. Plus, the animation style is amazing.

My quest for End of Evangelion to appear on this show continues, no matter how many times I am rebuked

Keep it up Corridor Crew, you guys are hands down one of the best and hardest working channels on this entire platform. Excited for the future of Corridor

Hey Corridor Crew! So if you guys ever had the chance to see my comment here, I just want to say that I'm so glad Eric was able to bring up the 1953 short film "The Tell-Tale Heart" since not too many people here on RU-vid brings it up that often due to being an old obscure piece of animation and also I became a fan of Edgar Allan Poe ever since I first saw that short film on RU-vid back in 2009 and later got interested in reading the short story version of it as it became a favorite of mine; which by the way I'm a bit surprised that none of you mentioned the fact that it was based on one of his classic horror stories as I assumed that you guys might've overlooked the opening credits since the author was mentioned in it. Either way, thanks for giving it more attention for everyone to check out...that means a lot to me! Also, about Tim Burton's short film "Vincent" and this might be a bit of a nitpick here but...that fat woman who melted in that scene (13:46-13:49) wasn't his mom since she has already been both mentioned and shown in that short film; that was actually his aunt. I'm probably gonna guess that you guys only looked at snippets of that short film but not the rest of it from the looks of it apparently. Anyways, despite being late for this since Halloween is now already over, here's a list of some of my spooky/disturbing animation suggestions for your next Halloween edition next year (if you're interested). So my suggestions would be: Disney's Education for Death (1943), Casper The Friendly Ghost (1945), "Cats, Witches and the Black Plague" segment from the 1956 The Magical World of Disney episode "The Great Cat Family", the 1956 British short film A Short Vision, the 1977 TV special Halloween Is Grinch Night, Ringing Bell (1978), the 1978 Japanese short film Pikadon, the bear fight sequence from the 1981 Disney film The Fox and the Hound, Unico in the Island of Magic (1983), The Black Cauldron (1985), The Brave Little Toaster (1987), Pinocchio and the Emperor of the Night (1987), "Labyrinth Labyrinthos" segment from the 1987 anime anthology film Neo Tokyo, "Lab Animal" segment from the 1988 TV special Garfield: His 9 Lives, Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland (1989), the Hell dream sequence from All Dogs Go To Heaven (1989) including a deleted scene version of it, the 1990 short film The Sandman, Hexxus from FernGully: The Last Rainforest (1992), We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story (1993) including a deleted scene of Professor Screweyes' origin, the 1997 What A Cartoon! short film "Tales of Worm Paranoia", the 1998 Toonsylvania episode "Darla Doiley - Demon Doll", the 1999 What A Cartoon! short film "King Crab: Space Crustacean", the 1999 Cowboy Bebop episode "Pierrot Le Fou", the 2001 Invader Zim episode "Dark Harvest", and the 2004 Paranoia Agent episode ""The Golden Shoes"; sorry if my list was way too long to read here lol. As for my other suggestions unrelated to Halloween, I think for your next upcoming Animators React episode you should check out: Pink Floyd: The Wall (1982), Cool World (1992), Balto (1995), The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996), The Prince of Egypt (1998), Titan A.E. (2000), Metropolis (2001), Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001), Paprika (2006), and Richard Williams' animated short films "The Little Island" (1958), "Circus Drawings" (2010) and "Prologue" (2015). (Side note: this is my first ever comment to one of your videos since I started watching your contents for over a year now; keep up the good work!)

Super excited to see Night on Bald Mountain getting the love it deserves, as well as learning some of the context of the watership down animation team-- I've always been intrigued by some of the weirder, less polished, non-disney animation that happened between the industry's various renaissances. I was absolutely one of the kids scarred by Watership when I first watched it but it is now one of my absolute favorite movies (and book!). I will say, that end fight between Woundwart and Bigwig isn't even the worst scene; the bit that gave me nightmares for years was the hallucinogenic dream sequence where they show what happened to the rabbits left behind in the old warren as it was filled in by tractors. Horrifying, but also a fascinating trip into very creative and non-representational animation. I'd love to see more of this series, particularly to hear from more animators or story boarders who can share insight on the history of the industry and different studios! :)

Don't leave out the best part of the Fantasia sequence: Night on Bald Mountain. The animation is only supplementing such a powerful piece of music.

I could honestly watch Eric talk about and explain animation for hours, he's so knowledgeable and explains all these concepts really easily. Thanks for sharing this with us Eric!

I would like to see your reactions or just thoughts about Netflix series 'Arcane'. Those visuals are absolutely stunning! And some action scenes combine more styles together. French Fortiche studio did remarkable job.

Interesting episode! Loved hearing about everything!

Eric: "This is what I would consider the scariest bit of animation ever done." Me: I wonder if he's aware of Salad Fingers

The special effects from the early German expressionist films are pretty fun. They were mentioned in this video with respect to Tim Burton, but could warrant their own video. Part of the motivation for some of the style decisions was that post WW1, they literally didn’t have enough electricity to light their sets fully. Instead they painted shadows on the set and even on actors’ faces.

Well I love that his favorite animation is the Headless horseman. Such a phenomenal cartoon, and the backgrounds at certain points look like paintings, particularly at night. But another great thing about that cartoon was that the double feature vhs we had also had Mr.Toad on it. Fantastic 👏

You should react to Batman TAS with Clayface. The scene at the end where Clayface I guess has a panic attack and starts to morph into every role he's ever done was so good and clean. Would love to see your reactions to it or any episode honestly

The scariest part of this is that Niko appears to be in that old photo at 12:17

I thought Rats of NIMH and The Last Unicorn were very different cartoons than the animated movies that proceeded them. Darker, scarier, great characters and voice acting. Love to see more about that

Loved the episode man ❤️ even the animator expert was incredible!

Secret of Nymn always creeped me out when I was a kid. These are great episodes with lots of knowledge. Keep up the great work.
