Talk:Badly Animated Man

Formal Tone
Skybunny, I wrote the article and collected the quotes... and I agree that there isn't much substance, and the quotes can be pretty random. How it all came about was that I had recollected the Badly Animated Man segment, and how funny it was, despite being on a mostly worthless Disney program. So I searched the internet to see if anyone had it captured and uploaded. Nope.

But I did find these other quotes that at the very least confirm the existence of this obscure TV segment and the impression it made on them. So I put together the sum of all there is known about the Badly Animated Man segment (via google research) into this article. If any other poor soul goes about wandering for links on Badly Animated Man, at least they will find all that can be found right here.

If you have specific changes you would like to discuss, let's talk about them. Until then, I'll take down the banner. David Bergan 17:08, 13 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Hi there. I would propose less in the category of quotes about Badly Animated Man, and more about what it actually is. Well, actually, my suspicion is that where this belongs is as a footnote in the Raw Toonage article, like so:


 * (Excerpt from Raw Toonage, with proposed edits):
 * The show was a proving ground of sorts for never before seen Disney characters, with shows like Marsupilami; He's Bonkers!; and, Shnookums and Meat.


 * The show also featured a free form section called Totally Tasteless Videos which tried out one shot character concepts. Episode 11's 'Totally Tasteless Videos' was the memorable-to-some 'Badly Animated Man', the superhero who can leap over a tall building with a single drawing, and who wields a Two-Frame-a-Minute Punch."


 * If this were completely up to me, I would probably redirect 'Badly Animated Man' to 'Raw Toonage', and make, generally, the edit I've just put above. I don't believe forum posts are inherently encyclopeadic. The quotes, while touching, give an impression of someone else having more fun seeing a movie than yourself, without the context that actually seeing it gives you. (For the record, I did see Raw Toonage in its original run.) The edit I made above basically encapsulates most of everything original that's said in the article, and anyone who looks for 'Badly Animated Man' in the search box will zip right to Raw Toonage, where they'll see the above.


 * On the other hand, if you believe that this does deserve a completely separate article, I would propose that the quotes other people made be eliminated, the POV terms like 'stand out hiliarious' and (animation) 'treasure' be toned down, and more description of the actual episode and characters be added to the first (short) paragraph. Something to consider: as-is, this article is much longer than the article for the classic Steamboat Willie; in any case, if this article should live on, that article is probably an excellent model for this. (Question is, is there that much to say?)


 * What do you think, sirs? Skybunny 00:56, 14 December 2005 (UTC)


 * I liked the idea and put it into effect. See me at Raw Toonage. David Bergan 15:44, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
