New "Poketoon" short animation takes inspiration from classic Golden Age era cartoons
Every so often, the official Pokemon Kids TV YouTube channel will upload cute animations featuring various Pokemon in cartoon shorts, geared towards younger audiences in Japan. This time, their latest animation is a bit more unique than usual, though, taking major inspiration from the era of American cartoons where Looney Tunes and Tom and Jerry were at their peak. The short, titled as "PokeToon: Chase the Beans" is drawn in a similar fashion to legendary animator Chuck Jones' style, and even sports a very Looney Tunes-esque logo at the start. While the video was uploaded to the Japanese Pokemon channel, it has no dialogue and thus can be enjoyed worldwide.
