[scoobydoomistakes]

“Oh, hey, Ted... do you have a minute?”

Ted the Animator: “...oh no.”

Carl the Animator: “What?”

Ted the Animator: “You’re being calm and polite. That’s never a good sign.”

Carl the Animator: “It’s no big deal, just a quick question. Remember last spring when you said I could direct the aesthetic of the next show ?”

Ted the Animator: “...no? Not at all?”

Carl the Animator: “It was a maybe-3-AM session... you were mumbling, face down, in a plate of pad thai....”

Ted the Animator: “Still no memory, but I do feel overtime should pay more if one wakes up after with noodles on their forehead.”

Carl the Animator: “True. Now, you know the stuff I’m best at, right?”

Ted the Animator: “Stealing my pens?”

Carl the Animator: “No, in animation, you dingus.”

Ted the Animator: “...bumping cels?”

Carl the Animator: “No! Exaggerated action! Smears! Tornado Discus Scooby!”

Ted the Animator: “Ohhhhhhh! Actually, yeah, I can’t deny you’re good at 'em, even though they come out terrifying half the time.”

Carl the Animator: “That’s no mistake. It’s just the way Shaggy would look if designed by Pablo Picasso. That’s vision, right there.”

Ted the Animator: “...I don’t like where this conversation is headed.”

Carl the Animator: “Look, this’ll be a show for little kids, right? Kids like wild, insane, over-the-top action.”

Ted the Animator: “...I think you’re thinking of BMX bikers, but I get the gist.”

Carl the Animator: “Wild bed-bouncing! Weird motion! Bodies moving all creepy and flowy like sock monkeys filled with jello!”

Ted the Animator: “...wait, what?”

Carl the Animator: “We need smears. Lots of smears. Dozens, if not hundreds, all of the most exquisite nature!”

Ted the Animator: “...4-eyed-Scooby is gonna haunt my nightmares now.”

Carl the Animator: “Constant, madness! It’ll keep the little buggers engaged while mom goes to get a smoke.”

Ted the Animator: “These aren’t 1950s educational shorts, Carl.”

Carl the Animator: “More eyes! As many eyes as the frames can hold! A cornucopia of corneas!”

Ted the Animator: “...um...”

Carl the Animator: “Stretchiness is key as well. The human spine should be a spring that puts Tigger to shame!”

Ted the Animator: “Well... that’s at least a little more normal in animation, ok.”

Carl the Animator: “Stretches that – when compressed horizontally – offer a mortifying vision of the denizens of The Abyss!”

Ted the Animator: “...I stand corrected, and increasingly creeped out.”

Carl the Animator: “Surrealism! Every frame, a–...

...

...ok, I’m all out of monologue. Sanity is restored.”

Ted the Animator: “I don’t know whether to applaud or call a psychiatrist.”

Carl the Animator: “Well, on top of the obvious, wha’d’ya think?”

Ted the Animator: “I’m all for mixing things up, but... won’t it get old, having this much insanity in only one episode?”

Carl the Animator: “...who said anything about one episode? This plus waaaaay more is all gonna happen in the first 3 minutes of episode 1* ”

*no, seriously, it actually does

Ted the Animator: “...ohhhhhhhhhhhhh my.”

Carl the Animator: “Bask in the glory.”

Ted the Animator: “This is either going to be a masterpiece, a disaster, or a disasterpiece.”

Carl the Animator: “Get ready, fine art scene. A Pup Named Scooby-Doo is comin’ to town.”
