Family Guy Little House

The best intro to Family Guy ever!

[@quinnmiller7427]

As a child I was hyper obsessed with Little House on the prairie, and then as a teenager when I started watching family Guy and I saw this episode for the first time I literally screamed and my mom got concerned and had to ask what I was watching

[@brittasnow64]

@@panowa8319 its clearly just animated normally but ok

[@pyxmeda4258]

@@brittasnow64 No no, they may be correct, this scene probably did use rotoscoping to help make the animation (mainly the close up running of the kids) become more fluid and get that sort of semi-realism feel to it.

[@quentinparhiala9415]

I agree with you

[@MacaldaReye]

The first 35 seconds are weirdly my favourite scene in family guy ever, everyone just looks so happy and friendly, Lois looks so cute tucking her hair in her bonnet, Megs dress looks so nice on her and Chris looks so jovial, and stewie is actually cute with the way he toddles down the hill. They’re like an actual happy and healthy family here

[@AUBREY-ml4ex]

I also think the animation being so fluid really helps as it adds to much joyous whimsy to all of them

[@Pink_pr1ncess]

[@malcontender6319]

This is why mothers used to love LHOTP, it's wholesome. It's also why fathers hated it, it so damn sappy and bland.

This animation is.. awkwardly fluid for modern family Guy wish it was like this all the time but of course budget reasons

[@537monster]

It’s likely not even for budget reasons. Fluid animation just doesn’t work for Family Guy’s kind of comedy, which involves sudden janky movements. Like would the way characters fall down be as funny if they actually used fluid animation for it?

Actually that was true. I used to watch Little House on the Prairie obsessively as a kid and there was a Season 2 episode where Caroline, the mother, very nearly died from a small cut on her leg caused by a loose wire on the wagon that continuously got worse while the family was gone on a short camping trip leaving her to fend for herself, and she was near-dead when they returned home

[@BMeister22]

Funny how they poked fun at the little girl falling during the show's original opening. Apparently she fell on accident during one of the takes and the Producers thought it was cute and ended up using that version.

[@jeffreyboomhauer1204]

Hot dogs anyone

[@okamireader5]

One of the things I like about this is, Meg is essentially the main character of this concept in which _Family Guy_ reenacts _Little House on the Prairie_ since Meg takes the place of Laura Ingalls Wilder, who was not only the main character of the _Little House on the Prairie_ series, but also a real person who wrote the books based on her childhood and growing up Whether the writers intended it or not, score a win for Meg Griffin!

They still should do an entire episode set in the little house on the prairie univers.

[@jmaice83616]

I agree! That would be hilarious! You would have all of the characters trying to be goody two-shoes like Little House was, but they just can't and Joe would have a very primitive looking wheelchair or need to carried everywhere or pulled by a horse or die of Gangreen or something because they wouldn't have proper medicine for him.

They should made a three part family guy special episodes of little house. That would a nice Idea. Like the star wars special

[@WampaStompa1996]

The people that work on Family Guy are too lazy to do something like that ever again. Watch the opening scene to their Return of the Jedi special, you'll see what I mean. It's like they were too bothered to go all the way through with their parodies on the original Star Wars trilogy and stop halfway. Luckily the network busted their ass on that and they made the last one. But there is no way they would do something like this ever again, even though I would like them to parody the prequel trilogy. Or better yet make fun of Disney's awful sequel trilogy, that would be fantastic if they would shit on that pile of garbage that ruined Star Wars for many people. Well that, and how Disney made the old expanded universe non-canon. That still pisses me off that they did that, whoever came up with that idea is a retarded douchebag.
