Cartoon or not cartoon? More names.
September 29th, 2005
Today’s entries show the fault line that we’re all debating around our shop: do we continue in our ‘tradition’ of using “cartoon” in our name, or does it discourage more alternative filmmakers (like CG creators) from pitching us their storyboards? Any thoughts?

I don’t think that the word “cartoon” keeps CG people from pitching. (after all, WE’RE a CG shop, and we’re pitching)
If it does discourage them from pitching, would you really want to watch a short they made?

I agree with Floyd. The word cartoon almost seems more like a genre within the larger scope of animation. There can be CG cartoons although there aren’t too many that have been done convincingly thus far. I think with the squah and stretch we’re seeing with Chicken Little and the Incredibles (feature quality I know) that toony CG is very attainable for shorts and series.

I agree. Keep the word cartoon… and that has nothing to do with the fact that most of my entries had the word “cartoon” in it.

“Cartoon” may not be the best word to describe the contents of the show, but it IS the best word to describe the heritage and the legacy you want to continue. I’d keep it. Unless, of course, you choose “Sell You Lloyd’s Shorts” in which case you can throw this post out the window.
