          I don’t understand why someone who cares enough about the image quality to run it through AI would look at that result and be like, “Yup, looks good!”

      There were a lot of Disney movies that got TV shows, they basically just shoved them all onto a less known Disney animated shows channel instead of tje main Disney Channel.

        Here in USA, it was all on ABC and called the Disney Afternoon. Super successful with DuckTails and Tailspin, then bringing Alladin and Good Troop. There were a few other movies that got the animated TV show treatment, but the success of the Disney Afternoon started wearing thin and the shows were cancelled when people realized that they were not good anymore. Not like DuckTails, Darkwing, and Alladin.

          I’m also from the US. But yeah it makes sense the shows would have been on ABC considering disney owns it. I never really watched that channel, I was more into Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon growing up but I definitely do remember watching Toon Disney every so often where they put all of their older shows.

      As the saying goes, that depends on whether or not he blames his tool.

        I feel like whoever made that saying never tried to make anything, tools can’t replace skill but bad tools can absoloutely make something many times harder than it needs to be which takes energy, time and motivation away from the fine detail that tends to make the biggest difference to quality.

          A good craftsman knows the limits of his tools. A great craftsman knows how to make the tools necessary to surpass those limits.

            I dunno a jig saw makes cutting interesting curvy bits about a hundred times faster and its really hard to make one. Yeh you can make simpler stuff to do the same job but nowhere near as easily.

        Which in turn depends on which kind of tool we’re talking about, of course.

    Based off the myth of Pygmalion and Galathea, where Pygmalion (a sculpturer) resents ALL women because of an incident with some prostitutes.

    After becoming disgusted by some local prostitutes, he lost all interest in women and avoided their company completely

    Instead he works on a sculpture that he becomes obsessed with and falls in love with. A goddess notices and brings the statue to life. They (the artist and the now living statue) eventually get married and have a son!

      I’ve heard a couple of different variations on the story.

      One, in which the sculptor creates Galathea but she rejects him like all other women before, because he was just a generally unlikable guy.

      Another, in which he falls in love with a vision of Hera and seeks to form her likeness. Hera visits to inspect his work, and when she reveals herself, he begs to become stone so he can be with his creation forever. Hera is flattered and chooses to bring the statue to life instead. The first words that Galatea says to her creator/lover is “Now I must remake you in kind”.

          He meant Greeks. Because they hated women.

          (For a certain period of time and for certain definition of Greek which the conceptualization of in the public understanding is fairly nebulous)
