My Little Chocobo - PLEASE RENAME

[Fensfield]

Actually, as Amidi stated as well, it is the end of creator-drivern animated series... On Cartoon Brew there should be some cool articles on how the whole series is aimed to take people towards the toys market trend.

Not to seem combative or anything, but..

Wasn't Cartoon Brew's 'The End of the Creator Driven Era' article written before the series started airing, as a response to several occurrences and trends in the industry and not only the news of Lauren Faust's signing on to work with MLP:FiM's production, and before we all discovered the people working on the new My Little Pony series were actually trying to make something halfway decent instead of just signing on for a paycheck?

I mean, yes, everyone acknowledges that the series is in its intent a toy advert. Just.. the people behind it have apparently decided to make a genuinely enjoyable and interesting TV series inside that frame. If anything, that they achieved so much despite those limitations is a testament to the enthusiasm and creativity of the production team, and far from reason to start declaring the doom of animation as an artistic and creative endeavour.

Goodness knows, I've had fun watching it.. not that that's really relevant but, anyway.
