Haledjian posted:I don't think it's an unfounded criticism, but it's a little overstated--Pixar has 13 feature films, not counting sequels. Disney has well over 30 2D-animated movies (many of which look super similar to each other) so it's easy to pick out the outliers. The "samey" 3D Disney movies number maybe 6 or 7. So there's going to be plenty of time and opportunity for them to diversify their art direction. The other factor is that Disney is pushing the Disney Princess brand pretty hard so all their new princesses are going to get crammed together with their older characters on merchandise forever and ever so they need to be stylistically compatible with Sleeping Beauty and Snow White and all the rest. Of course the non-Princess movies don't have that excuse ...

Pixar's adherence to screensaver-esque visual realism gets in the way of overt whimsy.

Well, yes. Though I was really impressed by Trolls's overall aesthetic. They were basically cribbing from Little Big Planet and Aardman but it was refreshingly idiosyncratic.

I think it helped that they stuck to that aesthetic for drat near everything. The only things I can think of that didn't have some kind of fabric/scrapbook look to them were a few liquids you see in the movie (the green belly acid, the garbage one Bergen pours out a window) and some of the Bergen environments, especially the castle and the big Troll pot. Which I'm pretty sure is intentional, because every single bit of the forest has the fabric look. They really committed to the LOOK of the movie, and it super pays off. Like even the trolls that are made of glitter end up not looking out of place at all because the whole movie is designed around that style. Even when there's fire it's stylized to look very scrapbooky Oh and the teeth. The teeth weren't fabric, I guess that would've been a little weird. edit: oh and the eyeballs I guess Macaluso fucked around with this message at 04:33 on Feb 16, 2017 |

Googly eyes aren't felt so it's ok. Even the Bergen goo that went out the window looked like some sort of scrabbooky kind of thing, like a trick moms trade on Pinterest for the Halloween pages. The pizza did look real though.

Ccs posted:This is again because Pixar usually picks a different designer for each movie. Whereas Disney has the much of the same people (Jin Kim, and before him Glenn Keane) doing the final animation-ready designs. So their drawings get translated to 3d and the movies look very similar to each other. Eh, I'm not exactly a layperson but you're right that I don't have years of feature experience. Any designer will be able to discern the the unique qualities and flaws and magnify them tenfold, but at the end of the day you're dealing with a near boundless medium and there's no real reason it should take a professional to tell the difference between your projects when you have that kind of breadth. But as for designers being translated, Nico Marlet's designs communicate with their sources and surroundings very nicely and while not an entirely different ballpark, they wouldn't jive in each other's worlds. (BEES IN KUNG FU PANDA THEY ARE ALL BEES.) My criticism of the Disney catalogue is that the characters themselves are often cohesive enough to drop the model in a different movie. I mean hell, Rapunzel and Flynn walked into Frozen, no prob. It's just cool when someone pushes the boundaries on the medium least restricted by them. Golly, I hate phone typing.

Finally watched Kubo and The Last Unicorn, on frequent recommendation. Everyone's talked about Kubo to death and my thoughts come down to this: Visually stunning, overall plot is good with some pacing and fine line issues. Not sure if I'd call the ending good or bad, but its certainly weird. The Last Unicorn, shocker, is really loving good. Everyone's got pretty clear character motivations that helps keep things consistent. Last Unicorn wants to find more unicorns, Molly wants to hang with unicorns, Schmendrick wants to look cool, and Haggard just wants a happy life. I hate that Butterfly and some songs are dumb, but all in all its good. 30 year old spoilers That "into a human" transformation" is a much rougher deal than I expected. "Almathea" is constantly forgetting poo poo, from what she's doing in the castle to Lir's existence entirely, a weird back and forth between unicorn and human. Her romance with Lir even seems more like a need for something to keep her stable. I knew about the ending and wondered "why not just stay human if you're gonna be a miserable unicorn" but by the time the need to become a unicorn comes back, Almathea has basically completely forgotten everything about herself. She begs to stay human! It kind of leaves me wondering what's the worse fate: being a little different from your species for eternity or losing your entire identity and memories, living as an amnesiac woman with no past? There's no good option there. All in all, its obviously a classic for a reason and I enjoyed it.

I've now seen LEGO Batman twice (always good to see the background gags and etc). Both times there were some uncomfortable-looking older guys who were there alone, but they seemed to all have a really good time. I do think they were a little over-worried that people wouldn't be able to follow the plot, though admittedly there is a lot of plot. Also, it is super, super gay. I'm not a "shipper" but I thought that was enjoyable and really funny and an amusing way to go.

LEGO Batman was really really good, I especially liked how the plot basically slapped the dark and brooding Batman persona over the face and screams HAVE FUN for once, especially after the edgy batman vs superman movie and gritty nolan trilogy. And yea the plot was also super gay.

Here's the post on reddit featuring the poster that has currently notched roughly 17k upvotes. So cool! Everyone seems to be really keen on the concept. Although, I think the mods there might have been removed my post from public view or maybe marked it as spam because I can't actually see the post when browsing the r/movies subreddit anymore [edit] Lmao, the imgur stats show the poster has been viewed almost 400,000 times. teagone fucked around with this message at 16:27 on Feb 16, 2017 |

quote:Earlier today, a group of actors playing various villains in The LEGO Batman Movie were announced, as were the characters they voice in the film. But a few of the bad guys were already known. Zach Galifianakis (The Hangover) as The Joker and Jenny Slate (Obvious Child) as Harley Quinn have been seen in the trailers. Another villain has not been talked about as much, even though the casting allowed for the actor to play a role they were supposed to play decades ago: Billy Dee Williams (Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back) as Two-Face. This was a really neat thing to do for Billy Dee Williams. Also, as a complete aside, I love Jenny Slate and am glad she's getting work.

Goddammit that poster is amazing. I can't decide if I'd want her to be a kick-rear end tomboy who loves to rumble, or a straight up stereotypical "girly" princess who also kick tons of rear end to have the message that you can in fact like "girly" girl things and still be rad as gently caress and kick rear end. Most media tends to go one way or the other, they're either all tomboy or all girly. And there's so much stuff that has a girl liking pink things and the message is "DON'T LIKE PINK THINGS."

Moana blu-ray features!quote:Theatrical Short Film: "Inner Workings" – With introduction by the filmmakers, is the story of the internal struggle between a man's pragmatic, logical side and his free-spirited, adventurous half. Created by a small team at Walt Disney Animation Studios in a unique, fast-paced style that blends CG and traditional hand-drawn animation, the short explores the importance of finding balance in daily life. Holy crap they went all out! Including an audio commentary!!! But now I'm wondering why Zootopia didn't have a documentary on the source culture for that film
