Topic: Tag Implication: old_toon -> toony

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

Implicating old_toon → toony
Link to implication

Reason:

Old toon seems to be a descriptive tag for a specific kind of toony style (aka the "rubberhose" or "fleischer-esque" style in vintage funny animal animation such as Felix the cat, old Mickey Mouse, Betty boop, etc).

Since it in itself is a highly iconic toony style, I don't see why it shouldn't imply toony, as it is a specific type of toony.

+1, surprised it isn't already implied.

It was created about a week ago. Tags are almost never implicated that quickly.

tbh i'm surprised this kind of tag wasnt created even earlier than a week ago really, considering the slightly niche but not incredibly uncommon old toon style toony transformation media that I see.

Art style tags in general tend to be either undertagged or missing outright so it's possible that no one thought to create one before now. I would suggest changing the name to something that isn't as non-descriptive and time-dependent, though. There are lots of old styles and the longer you wait, the more styles will get added to that list. If it's for the fleischer style specifically, why not tag it as that?

i was mainly using the tag "old toon" since it seemed to be used by others (i didnt create this tag myself), but yeah I agree in that it could use a better more accurate tagging name perhaps. Fleischer style could be a good tag name, or perhaps "rubberhose style", which is the more... universal term for the style that fleischer and early disney cartoons used, named for the hose-like arms and simplicity

"Rubberhose style" sounds alright, but how many things would that contain? Felix the Cat, Cuphead, Mickey Mouse, etc. are definitely in but what about Looney Tunes, Sonic the Hedgehog and other similar ones?

Good point, perhaps rubberhose is a bit too broad. Fleischer style might just be the best fit since it would mostly apply to more simplified designs like those first two images as well as things like bendy, whereas rubberhose is a bit more encompassing to the likes of styles like sonic and early warner brothers content.
