Holiday toon do-over

CaptainPastHisPrime · **Posted:** Fri Aug 29, 2008 4:41 am

What holiday toon(s) would you do differently, if you were given the opportunity to do it all over again?

For me, I would go back and add Homsar to "Homestarloween Party" and have his costume be maybe Bilbo Baggins from "The Hobbit" (he specifically would depict the character as seen in the 1977 animated movie by Rankin and Bass).

So now, what holiday toon stnank would you correct if you could?

I would add an Easter Egg in "Decemberween Short Shorts" explaining why there was no Decemberween special in December 2005 or a make-up special in July 2006.

What about Decemberween in December of 2003? And what make-up special are you speaking of?

I meant a make-up special like Decemberween in July, which was created to make up for the fact there was no Decemberween special in December 2003.

Oh, that. Well, uh, what would you have for D'ween In July of '06? And wouldn't that have been the purpose of say D'ween Short Shorts?

No, the purpose of D'ween Short Shorts was to celebrate Decemberween 2006. And the best thing I thought of to explain the lack of a 2005 special was to create a "Cheat Commandos Save Decemberween" cartoon, as a parody of those "(insert random character such as Disney's Ernest or Sesame Street's Elmo here) Saves Christmas" specials.

Another do-over I would do would involve giving Homestar and/or Marzipan some of that candy Marzipan is named after during The House that Gave Sucky Treats.

Speaking of "Sucky Treats", I think we could also eliminate the voting option (since it has been resolved recently anyway) and make some of the characters be clickable, like always.

And what of "Happy Hallow-day"? I'm sure a lot of us here think it's one of the weakest Halloween toons out there, plot-wise. If you could do that one over again, what would you do?

Oh, yeah, and in addition to adding Homsar to "Homestarloween Party" (he would be dressed as Bilbo Baggins), I would also make The Cheat's Garfield costume more complete. TBC actually admitted that it wasn't very good, just the eyes, nose and even the teddy bear. What I would do is add the ears, the mouth-like thing and maybe the tail.

Those old animated Hobbit & LotR classics are creepy. The character designs were unforgivable nightmares.

I recall a year that either a Decemberween or Halloween cartoon was not released. That'd be the one I'd like redone, or rather, done. I'd like to have all of the voices redone on the oldest cartoons though.

Okey okey, I'd redo parts of "The House that Gave Sucky Treats." I hated Coach Z's costume & most of the interactive responces to candy weren't funny.

Funny, I don't seem to recall any years where a Halloween cartoon was unreleased. But such is not the case with Decemberween, though; the years 2003 and '05 had no D'ween toons. So that would be good ones.

If you could incorporate Homsar into "Homestarloween Party", what costume would you give him?

Also, in that same toon, I would update The Cheat's Garfield costume to be more complete. Maybe have the mouth and especially the ears and maybe the tail.
