Just found out that the creator of Apple and Onion is working on a Netflix show, and it just dawned on me how incredibly samey looking HB Studios Europe productions are. They all look like uglier variations of post S3 Gumball if it didn't have the multimedia aesthetic to back it up artistically.

When you suddenly realized that every tiny toons character has the same bugs bunny/chuck jones cheek line construction then you won't be able to look at any group shot from the show without getting immense uncanny valley vibes

That's somewhat disputable. I personally take John K's anecdotes about animation history with a massive grain of salt but considering that Bill Hanna shared a similar sentiment, I wouldn't be surprised if Joe did as well, if this Michael Sporn excerpt from his(sadly defunct)website is to be believed

Ok, so I did look for comments from Jones, but sadly, I couldn't find anything definitive.
BUT I did manage to find this little tidbit from a Cartoon Research article discussing Angel Puss.
Whether or not the lack of acknowledgment came from genuine quilt or trying to hide his ass is up to you.

Even ignoring ALL of that Joe was just kind of an asshole in general. He actively hated Ed Benedict's now iconic designs and called them "UPA crap" and was a massive pain in the ass during the production of shit like the Jetsons Movie and more. Here's a FB comment from Tom Ruegger talking about Joe.

It was kind of an open secret in the industry at the time that Joe Barbera was depraved as fuck. He sexually harassed female artists at MGM like Mary Blair to the point where her husband got her a job at Disney SOLELY to get her away from Joe. There's even rumors of him beating it in an elevator.

I don't give a singular rats ass what "professional" animation youtube critics say. This film, and frankly, this whole franchise will always be far superior to the Shrek series as a whole, and I'm tired of pretending it's not.

“I hated this movie. Hated hated hated hated hated this movie. Hated it. Hated every simpering stupid vacant audience-insulting moment of it. Hated the sensibility that thought anyone would like it. Hated the implied insult to the audience by its belief that anyone would be entertained by it."

Don't think "faux-industry" is the correct term for this the same way is for stuff like Catching Up or that one Daft Pina cartoon bc ngl I honestly think that even shit like this is above the skill level that the industry can offer atp (not a high bar btw) but holy visual clutter.
