Are the Bros tryng to catch up with Disney?
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.
Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

I don't think WB is trying to "catch up" with Disney. The two of them may be rivals, but they seem to have gone down different paths when it comes to the style of their cartoons, which the WB tending toward the "wacky" while Disney goes more for the "fun, but more family-friendly". Not to say they each don't sometimes crossover into the other's "territory".

Pretty sure Disney was "wacky" for a period of time themselves.PatchOBlack wrote:but they seem to have gone down different paths when it comes to the style of their cartoons, which the WB tending toward the "wacky" while Disney goes more for the "fun, but more family-friendly".

After watching WB cartoons, falling down cliffs became a passtime for me. Wile E. Coyote is a hero.
My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.
