Unlike the others, Cow and Chicken actually delivered.

[–] Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 86 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Also in powerpuff girls 10th anniversary special. Although not a complete reveal.

[–] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 17 points 7 months ago

And you didn't need much imagination to figure out what mammy looked like (very racist depiction)

[–] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 4 points 7 months ago

Weren't their parents literally a pair of legs with no tops?

[–] callmepk@lemmy.world 30 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Tom and Jerry owner is revealed tho

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 18 points 7 months ago

That's not the owner, that's the housekeeper. The owners of the house, and Tom, are a white husband and wife.

His arm looks thinner than I remember. Has he been working out?

[–] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 6 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

He had a face reveal in the SNES game that apparently martches the action figure.

Dr Claw

[–] OttoVonNoob@lemmy.ca 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

They actually revealed his face in the action figure line when i was like 4 (25 years ago). Generic non threatening looking angry bald dude:X I remember seeing a pack marked as doctor claw and my world was blown!

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

I always assumed that his face looked like the M.A.D. logo.

[–] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 18 points 7 months ago

Or any adult at all in the Peanuts / Charlie Brown / Snoopy shows/movies. Never saw them, nor heard them voice. Just that muffled trumpet droning sound.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 17 points 7 months ago

And Nanny from Muppet Babies.

[–] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 13 points 7 months ago

Also Nanny from Muppet Babies

[–] gandalf_der_12te@feddit.de 9 points 7 months ago

the faces are so generic they don't even render them

[–] Hailstorm8440@sh.itjust.works 4 points 7 months ago

(Insert trombone sound)

[–] CapeWearingAeroplane@sopuli.xyz 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Is there some reason they chose to draw them like this? Does anyone with more knowledge than me about making movies or cartoons have an explanation?

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 12 points 7 months ago

It's a creative choice. The show is from the perspective of the children so many adults are portrayed to be so distant that you don't even see their faces.

The first instance of this trope I can recall is the Charlie Brown cartoons where you neither see the teacher at all and can't even understand what the teacher is saying. It's just an off screen voice saying MWAW MEH MWAW MEH MWAW. But the children do understand the teacher, but the teacher is just a weird presence that the children have to appease.

Basically the adults don't understand what's going on with the world of the kids. They're aren't all that relevant to the story but if they aren't portrayed at all then you'd wonder "where are the adults?" So they exist but aren't important to the story.

Also children can imagine the adults to be their own parents if their faces aren't shown. Makes it feel like the children in the show could be the siblings to the kids that are watching.

Proud Family

[–] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

As a kid it wasn't Mrs Belumm's face I wanted to see

[–] Cort@lemmy.world -3 points 7 months ago

Nah just the wrong aspect ratio. These classics were intended for 4:3 not 16:9
