@JGoldman10,
They probably did significantly more than that, I imagine for the episodes in Saudi Arabia they would have spoken to ex pats who had worked there.

Otherwise you end up with something completely unrealistic like when Scooby Doo goes to Scotland.

Not only were the accents appalling but the place names were pronounced incorrectly. It was a fictional place made by mashing Edinburgh and Glasgow together. Which would give Glasburgh.

It was pronounced the American way Glasburrow which is not how it would be pronounced in Scotland. In Scotland it would be pronounced Glasbrugh.

Now you can claim it doesn’t matter because the intended audience are Americans not Britons, but your intended audience are American.

@izzythepush,
The episode of Family Guy in which Peter goes to Ireland to meet his real dad wasn't entirely accurate.

I saw a video on YouTube in which a young lady from Ireland critiqued this episode. She pointed out what they got right and didn't get right.

@JGoldman10,
Is that what you want, hillbillies, rednecks and good ‘ol boys making videos on Youtube, pointing out everything you got wrong?

Since you brought up two comics series based on old sitcoms about hillbillies, both of the sitcoms these comics are based on should be rebooted and updated for modern audiences.


Correction- there was a Li'l Abner comics series, a cartoon series, live-action film adaptations, a TV puppet show based on Fearless Fosdick which was a comic within Li'l Abner,:

and a Li'l Abner stage play but there was never a TV series based on Li'l Abner. There was an unsold pilot for a TV show:

I had a feeling someone was going to reference The Beverly Hillbillies and Li'l Abner at some point in this thread. Those comics are from the '60s. That doesn't count.

I want to make throwbacky, retro cartoons and/or comics for kids in general. I have a bunch of ideas for original cartoon and/or comic series.

I can do that and still instill some elements of things from the modern-day real-world into them.

I also have ideas for cartoon and/or comics series for kids that are more modern-day era.


- FIXED.

@izzythepush,
Sigh. I want to make TOONS AND COMICS for KIDS. I want to ENTERTAIN them, not educate them about history and culture.

@Linkat,
A lot of groups of people in the U.S. get stereotyped. There are poor people in every culture.

Did Speedy Gonzales, Jose Carioca and Panchito encourage negative stereotypes about Latinos?
Did Pepé Le Pew encourage negative stereotypes about the French?
Did Scrooge McDuck encourage negative stereotypes about the Scottish?

@Linkat,
The crows from the original Dumbo movie were meant to be African American caricatures but I can see why people think these characters were racist.
It's obvious why Song of the South is not ever going to be released on DVD and/or Blue Ray.

@JGoldman10,
Scots joke about being mean all the time. When I was shown around the wedding chapel the guide joked that the room for four guests was more than enough for a Scottish Wedding.

Despite the ban on haggis I don’t think the Scots are a group that suffers prejudice in America.

Black people do suffer prejudice which is why the depiction of the crows in Dumbo is bad.

You want to do the same thing to poor white people, another group that suffers discrimination.

Linkat has a point.

White Americans in general get stereotyped. Poor White Americans is only a part of this group.

I am doing research on American and foreign culture and subculture.

Well apparently Warner Bros. feels Speedy is a negative Mexican caricature and stereotype, and that Pepé is a negative French caricature and stereotype which is a big reason why they don't show classic Speedy and Pepé cartoons on TV anymore. Why these characters were both dropped from Space Jam 2 which is coming out.

WB was supposed to be coming out with a Speedy movie but I guess that project was either scrapped or postponed.

I didn't say any of the rural American characters I created were meant to be caricatures of poor White trash.

He is right about some French being smelly.

Don’t get me wrong, every country has smelly people, but you can normally tell them from a distance, dirty scruffy etc.

Not in France, over there you can see someone well dressed and looking fashionable, clean and tidy, but when they get close they stink to high heaven.

Not everyone obviously, but I’ve never come across smart well presented smelly people in any other country.

Terms like hillbilly and redneck evoke images of poor white trash.

Lol. I didn't know that was a stereotype. I know the French were stereotyped as being big Jerry Lewis fans.

And rude, Paris is awful. Parisians are the rudest people on the planet.

Other parts of France are alright, the channel ports are used to us for example, and the Vendee is lovely but Parisians are so very rude.
