Noah Carolan NUA Animation Year 2

For this post, I am going to be looking at Voltron from 1984, and the reboot Voltron: Legendary Defender from 2016. VOLTRON (1984) Voltron , also known as Voltron: Defender of the Universe ,   was an animated series that ran from 1984 to 1985. It was directed by Franklin Coford, and was an adaptation of the anime series Beast King GoLion  from 1981. The series revolves around 5 characters; Keith, Lance, Pidge, Hunk and Sven. They each pilot a giant robotic lion, who can combine together to make the humanoid mech Voltron. The storyline was very basic, with episodes mostly involving Team Voltron fighting the forces of King Zarkon and protect Princess Allura. Voltron originally came about when producer Ted Koplar assembled a team to translate the anime series Beast King GoLion into a series that would fit better for an American audience. This process of redubbing and re-editing episodes led to differing storylines and dialogue, while still using the original animation. These ep

This post will be comparing the original  Teen Titans  series from 2003, and it's reboot  Teen Titans GO!  from 2013. It is important to note that both series are based on the  Teen Titans  comic books published by DC Comics. The characters and titles have undergone changes over it's publication, so it's not really possible to name which run of comics was the main influence. TEEN TITANS  (2003) Teen Titans  was an animated series produced by DC Comics and Warner Bros. Animation, developed by Glen Murakami and Sam Register. It ran on Cartoon Network from 2003 to 2006. The series followed a team of five superheroes; Robin (aka Dick Grayson), Raven (aka Rachel Roth), Starfire (aka Koriand'r), Cyborg (aka Victor Stone) and Beast Boy (aka Garfield Logan). Throughout their time acting as superheroes, they come to fight enemies like Deathstroke, Terra and Trigon, to name a few.  The series had a serialised structure, so each season had a different overarching stor

In this research post, I'm going to be looking at the show Ducktales , and it's 2017 reboot of the same name. Before I compare the shows, it should be noted that both  Ducktales series are based on the comic series Uncle Scrooge by Carl Banks, which started publication in 1951 and continues today (despite numerous hiatuses and the title changing publisher). DUCKTALES (1987) Ducktales was an animated series produced by Walt Disney Television Animation and developed by Jymn Magon and Brad Landreth. It ran on the Disney Channel from 1987 to 1990. The series followed Scrooge McDuck and Donald Duck's three nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie as they go on adventures, with a common theme being villains trying to steal McDuck's fortune. The stories take inspiration from pop culture, ranging from Sherlock Holmes novels to the Indiana Jones series. Most of the characters outside of the main four were either taken from the comics the show was based on (e.g. The Beagle Boys)
