What A Cartoon! ·

2024/11/11

When the family-unfriendly Tim Burton horror/comedy Beetlejuice ended up being a big hit with kids, Warner Bros. made the strange decision to shove their undead deviant into the ever-changing landscape of children's programming. The result? A 94-episode animated series that depicts Lydia and Beetlejuice as best (platonic) buds whose adventures bring them to the depths of the Neitherworld and back. So does the pun-based, gross-out humor hold up 30 years later? Listen in and find out! Support this

What A Cartoon! ·

2024/09/09

A little over 30 years after it premiered, Batman: The Animated Series is back! (Kind of.) Caped Crusader takes the form of a spiritual sequel to WB's hit '90s series, though one closer to Bruce Timm's original pitch. This time around, the cartoonish qualities are replaced with pure noir, making this a more subtle, moody, and adult series. On this episode of What A Cartoon, join us as we explore this newest iteration of Batman and see if it can possibly escape the shadow cast by what came before
