@@therealchoopo If I had to recommend something I worked on professionally, I'd suggest Pete the Cat - I worked on the first season of that. Much like GMAC it's an Amazon Prime adaptation of a kids picture book but the vibe is very different because the author of the picture books is _extremely_ a California surfer dude who got old. There are times you can almost smell the weed coming through the screen. The music is frankly better and while it's not quite Bluey tier of self-awareness there is a vague sense of adults having actual adult lives around the whimsical playtime of these kids. That and working on it, while it was hard work, it was rewarding (as opposed to GMAC, the production of which felt practically sisyphean and spending all day listening to SONIC for months at a time wears down on your psyche).

@@silentagony1019 Well, again, to be clear, I worked on the animated series, not the books - and I was an animator, which meant that I didn't really participate in any development, I was just part of the assembly line. And like, that's kinda it really, it was a pretty standard animation job. No union, just the standard labour laws in place in Ireland - 21 days PTO, paid sick leave (with doctor's note). Plenty of petty comforts - pizza party, ping pong table kinda stuff - but they really nickel and dimed us on hours. I know strict timekeeping is pretty standard for retail and manufacturing, but this is salaried office work, so being told to work an extra hour when I need to take one off for a doctor's appointment kinda stings, especially when overtime was effectively unpaid which extra bites when the pay isn't great to begin with. The specifics of the conditions vary but this is pretty ordinary for the animation industry. So like, it's not that I was mistreated - in fact the studio I was at was on the better end of things - it's a systemic issue with studio work. Because animation & VFX attract a lot of young workers who are passionate about the work and willing to make sacrifices, it leaves them open to exploitation, whether it's the extreme cases we see often in anime, or the way Hollywood chews up and spits out VFX studios, or the more subtle "friendly" stuff I experienced. When your boss wants to be your friend, they're trying to take advantage of you. No exceptions. As for what made GMAC in specific so gruelling, it was mostly the schedule - we had to turn around one 22 minute episode every week. Even with a huge team of animators, that's a lot of work with very little room for error, and there were still chokepoints where team leads, cleanup artists, and the editor had mountains of work to do. Combine this with the inane nature of the material, and dispassion with which our co-production studio treated it (they handed us broken rigs and told us that we didn't have to blow the 3-year-olds' minds), and you get a project that demands the exertion of a passion project, while eliciting the joy of selling insurance. So anyway, we stan the animation guild

Funny enough I just did a paper on this book series and I will now send this video to the professor that graded it.

My first introduction to this series was If You Take a Mouse to the Movies, when I was around five or six. I just remember five year old me really hating the mouse and me finding him annoying and spoiled 😅😡 I would doodle devil horns and a curly moustache on him whenever I could. I vaguely remember my teacher reading this to the class, and warning us not to feed wild animals because they will come for more (and grow dependent on us and not know how to get their own food). Me, being the rebellious child that I was, immediately tried to feed the skunks in my backyard later that night 😅

I was once forced to see a stage performance of "If You Give a Moose a Muffin". It was generally a waste of time because we drove a decent while to a tiny theater just to watch 15 minutes of some lady wearing a hood with antlers. At least they had a nice parking lot.

I always loved the sheer escalation in this story as a kid and quote it often with even more escalating consequences. Robot Chicken did a great sketch on this.

I have a video called "Slippery Slope is Not a Fallacy" which references this children's book.

Somehow, they don't show the consequences if these kids don't give their animal friends their respective foods. These kids are walking on eggshells ever since they decided to give (insert animal) a (insert piece of human food). In reality, Oliver is on the mercy of a human-sized mousetrap if he doesn't satiate his mouse friend's appetite for cookies. If the girl doesn't provide pancakes for her piggy pal, she'll spend her last breaths at the bottom of the world's deepest mud puddle. The girl that gives the cat a cupcake may become nothing more than a scratching post if she fails to pay up to her feline friend. The boy who dared to give that delectable donut to the dog is on a waiting list for the crushing machine at the junkyard, unless he gives the fried dough ring to his canine master. And for the boy who gave the Moose a muffin, let's just say that natural selection won't be kind to him. It shows that the best way to stop an addiction is to never start it in the first place, especially when it comes to feeding human food to animals.

I grew up spending summers frequently going to the local library. There were all these programs for kids that did arts and crafts, book readings, and even watched educational cartoons. When I grew up, I started to miss those things because it reminds of a time when I didn't need to think about who was sitting in the supreme court, how to ask my boss for vacation time, or whether my Paypal account got hacked. The kids books and educational programming from the early 2000s gave me things to think about, inspired me creatively, and always presented to me an ideal version of what life could be like.

It is slightly better then the library because I don't have to remember to return a book 😅

I just love listening to him talk about random things🤣great background audio.

funnily, the first book is a smooth brained argument against the red menace for kids which only succeeded when it was taken as ironic, showing all the fun that comes from redistributing food to the poor, leading to soulless sequels and economically toxic wealth.

Why do only the non mouse books use alliteration?

I once gave a mouse cheese! Unfortunately the mouse was too greedy! Too much cheese! It's gluttony became it's own burden! One day I see the mouse, he has the cheese in his hands. At this point the mouse was too large to succumb to a mouse trap! I decided to throw it onto oncoming traffic. It's greedy and gluttonous nature was too much for me to bear witness to! No longer could I look at the mouse! If you give a mouse cheese it will die! I will throw it under the wheels of a Buick!

“I could just put a mid roll ad right here and-“ then I get a if you give a mouse a cookie Tv show ad

This book taught me that when a homeless person asks for money, i need to scream "help hes trying to destroy the world!" An i thank her for that.

"there is no longer a barnes and noble"

7:16 “I’m not gonna get away with a mid-roll ad right people?” *Gets a mid roll ad* Coincidence? I think not.
