A lack of fantasy.

Blunk was indeed created for television, though I think it was more for comic relief than boy appeal. Caleb, however, was not a TV-exclusive character; he existed in the books as well.
 
I'm still a newbie for D&D, though Tolkien is my standard even though I could only just follow the Silmarillion. WITCH is to me, elemental chi magic. It's great, but only level one magic. Though it works very good in the show and is a favorite show. Elemental casting, mind illusions, Golom conjuring, Other plain summoning of spirits(almost as dangerous to the summoner as the target), universal manipulation (that's when energy circles must be used). These are the levels I look for.

The one thing most important for magic that most ignore,,, the more persons that concentrate on the purpose, the stronger the power released.
 
I still think the popularity of genres and types of storytelling are all cyclic. You want to see good fantasy toons and TV? Wait about 3-5 years. I know, I know, it doesn't sound like the best advice, but it's the best I can offer.
 
The cyclical nature of animation is often what annoys me. "This is popular, let's make everything look like it". The current era we have now,,, except for a few shows like AvatarTLA. Was it the 80's or 90's,,,, I loose track, that everything was was teens solving mysteries during a race, or had dinosaurs, or worst,,, D&D was popular, let's make a meaningless show that proves social justice and has magic,,, which they didn't have a clue about.
