Yeah, John K is a strange man. It's probably the force of his personality that got his work noticed and on TV though, even if his personality was also what got him kicked off a lot of projects and screwed up a lot of his personal relationships.

Oscar noms are out:quote:Animated feature: This should basically guarantee a Zootopia win, no? EDIT: Kubo also gets a visual effects nom. Moana and Trolls get music noms. Fangz fucked around with this message at 15:40 on Jan 24, 2017 |

I really hope Moana beats out La La Land for Best Original Song. It'd give Lin-Manuel Miranda the PEGOT.

Fangz posted:Oscar noms are out: Red turtle should win, in my opinion. It's a beautiful piece of art. My Life as a Zucchini is great and it's Claude Barras first film which is really awesome but not an oscar winner. Zootopia was fun and all but far from an oscar. Kubo and the Two Strings I didn't see it ("shame!") Moana neither this one What are your prognosis?

So Zootopia and Moana and to a much lesser extent Kubo are the only options with any real hope. Zootopia is a good movie with a good message, so it's a nice pick especially now, and it did better than Moana. I'm pretty happy with Zootopia winning also.

I'm happy to see The Red Turtle and My Life as a Zucchini get nominations because they're both tremendous films, but I can't see any way for either one to win. It'll be down to Moana and Zootopia. Come to think of it, I can't remember the Animated Feature category ever having an underdog win. Maybe Sprited Away beating out Lilo & Stitch counts, but that film was about as high-profile as Japanese animation ever got in the US.

As a stupid little kid, it really bothered me that they gave the award to a foreign movie instead of a movie from Disney, the most American studio. And right after foreigners killed 3000 people, too!

It sort of depends on what you think the Oscars are "for", but I would say Zootopia is the appropriate winner, and that if it hadn't come from Disney but from some no-name studio most people would be in agreement on that.

I'm actually confident that the exact opposite would be the case: If Zootopia were by a 'no-name studio,' whatever that is, it would not actually appear to be that much of an improvement over Home and Madagascar 3 and Kung Fu Panda 3. On the other hand, folks would be more critical of it in the same way they're critical of Kubo. All of the residual goodwill would just funnel to Moana.

I finally saw Kubo and I don't think it deserves best animated but I'd love to see it get the visual effects award. Laika is basically running up the score on anyone who's ever done stop motion animation at this point. I thought Zootopia was excellent, Moana way too unambitious. Haven't seen the other two.  I did think the Kubo script was better than the other Laika movies I've seen, if uneven. Hopefully it's the beginning of an upward trend? My SO is on the Samurai Jack reboot, super excited!

Yeah, Zootopia absolutely deserves the Oscar this year, but Kubo deserves the visual effect award. That would be the best outcome.

Paws crossed for Zootopia. Also, watch their billion dollar, Oscar winning movie still get no merchandise attention from Disney.

I spoiled my mom on Ghibli and now any time I show her something animated, she says "I liked it, but I liked the one with the little people better."  And speaking of which, any further news on that film Miyazaki supposedly came out of retirement for?And a follow-up on this Unmature posted:Researching John Kricfalusi after this week's events is making me feel really gross.

Good thing: So many people at my work talk about animated films! Not so good thing: It's invariably in the context of what they take their kids to watch, and any praise boils down to which films were the least annoying to sit through.

I like Zootopia for the message as well as being a solid movie in general. Would have been better without the skunk butt rug joke.

A Wizard of Goatse posted:Moana's message was 'change is decay, tradition is salvation'. It's fairly emphatic with it, I just get the feeling people expect that kind of golden-age reactionary message to look like Leave it to Beaver so much it doesn't quite compute when covered in brown skin. Well, except that, in Moana's case "change" meant isolation and stagnation, ignoring the larger problems that lay ahead in favour of a comfortable life now. "Tradition" meant actually facing your problems and trying to resolve them, even if they seem insurmountable.

Obviously Moana presents a return to the mythic past (e: and the humbled abdication of man's mastery over nature, for that matter) as a good thing, but that's the essence of his criticism in the first place.

I read it as Moana's tribe retreating from change and choosing stagnation and decay over facing a challenging world. And I don't see how it represents an abdication of man's mastery over nature, since part of the movie involved mastering nature through travel. It involved showing respect for nature, yeah. There's probably a thinly veiled metaphor for climate change denial in there.

None of you can think of ANYTHING that happened this week that would make it weird to be reading about a misogynist? EDIT: Oh, not that he did. All he does not is argue on Twitter, make awful Simpsons couch gags, and steal Kickstarter money.

Vegetable posted:Dory hasn't been in the awards circuit at all, for whatever reasons. I don't know. The way Disney has been treating Zootopia has really surprised me going by how much it made. In Disney World I saw literally ONE reference to it, which was up in Rafiki's petting zoo place in Animal Kingdom. That requires a train ride to get there. I also saw a drawing at one of the caricature booths, but that's not official merch. I wouldn't be surprised if the Oscars passed it over. A lot of Oscar stuff is very populist, and to someone who doesn't pay attention it could seem like Zootopia isn't that popular. But hey, maybe they'll actually pick the best movie.
