Can anybody look at anything they've done and think "I like their work" and actually tell it's from them, compared to somebody else? They brought back the Takamoto look (including the awful flesh-coloured scelera), which nobody seems to want to move away from (and it's high time they did), but they also made the so very crappy Rock & Roll Mystery film. They also made SDMI, which is debatable whether they can be considered that good (as whole, and a lot of times it seems less authentic than BCSD, because putting aside the comedy and art, BCSD is actually more faithful). They've also made some very crappy Tom and Jerry DTVs.

It just seems that because they are good at their work, have made some small successes (probably with Duck Dodgers, and Cervone worked on Space Jam, which by default, makes him a tiny king in the animation world), and are HB/LT/T&J fans, they can just do what they want. But what are they actually doing? Developing ideas for things that we don't know about? Well, from what I've seen, the last time they worked on any show was SDMI and Looney Tunes Show (which I think they got really lucky on doing those at the same time), and those ended 4 or 5 years ago. Now Cervone and Brandt are just in the bowels of WBA, working on whatever they're given and just because they know what to do, that makes it okay (probably approved by Sam Register, who knows nothing about what people actually want to see, with all the power probably swollen his ego).

I'm not sure what will become of this theatrical animated film that Cervone has been given. (I didn't mind the State Farm ads he did, but I doubt it will look like that, which were probably better than everything Scooby he has done combined.) I don't know anything about it or how well it will do. But will he make it any good? Recently, he was forced to join by Dax Shepard who bombed with his film adaptation of CHiPs. Since that film bombed, he was probably removed, but I just hope his short time there didn't cause too much damage to a film that may not have been very good to begin with. At the moment, all they can do is announce names of people that may not even be working on it (like one of the creators of Phineas & Ferb, how that happened, I don't know, and what good it will do, likewise).

I'm just sick and tired seeing projects from Cervone and Brandt, that aren't very good, and who should probably move on from WBA, because clearly they don't really need Cervone and Brandt. They're kind of treated like the old Looney Tunes directors, which would be true back a few years ago, but now it seems they should probably move on (they actually did work on a Nickelodeon show called Back to the Barnyard, how that happened, I don't know).
