User blog:SweetieBotXLS/Are The Annies Rigged?

2012 was a great year for animated TV shows. We got Gravity Falls, new episodes of FiM, Season Two of TAWOG, AT going through a much more serious tone, The Legend Of Korra and other things.

But let's talk about the annies. For the TV shows this year, i'm beginning to wonder if they're rigged.

In the best Television Production For Children category, we have "The Job", AT's "Princess Cookie" and the new SB christmas special (which was actually pretty decent, I have to admit.)

But guess what won?



Now, i'm not saying that Dragons is bad, but how did it win over the other great shows? I know this may seem biased, but TAKE A LOOK AT THE GOLD SPONSOR



That's right, Dreamworks. It also seemed to win the other TV categories.

Dragons won over The Job in Directing. I'm sorry, but that's just bullcrap. It's a big steaming pile of bullcrap. Mic Graves did a better job on, well "The Job" than John Eng.

It ALSO beat AT's Lady And Peebles and Goliad in storyboarding. Really? I find Goliad to be one of the most interesting stories ever told in an animated series and Lady And Peebles does a great way of telling a dark story and I really liked the plot twist at the end.

Dragons DOES NOT have good stories. Considering that the original movie, which by the way, was really good, didn't have a good story to begin with, the TV show isn't good either.

A similar case happened in 2011's Annie Awards where How To Train Your Dragon won every category in movies, you name it, going above TOY STORY 3 AND TANGLED.

But Dragons: Riders Of Berk isn't a bad show. It just needs some more work.

Anyway, I probably can't JUST assume that the Annies are rigged, because that's a bit too strong of a word, but i'll have to wait and hope it improves next year.
