Grabbed Coraline and Iron Giant blurays from the shelf for my Sydney trip, the rest of the movies I want to watch will have to be on Netflix or other services. Australian Netflix sucks for animated movies by the way. Probably every studio is represented but it's a patchy selection of films. There's like 4 Pixar films - what kind of rights issue would allow some Pixar films but not all of them? It's all one company!  Edit: beyond animated movies the Netflix selection here is pretty awful in general. I mainly use it for watching the Netflix originals.

Robindaybird posted:Granted Witch cursing is it's implying the idea of refusing hospitality to an old woman in the middle of winter is more or less a death sentence (think of say the Angels in Sodom or Gammorah, or of Zeus and Hermes and the town they turned into a lake), but still an extreme overreaction to turn the servants into furniture. Well, in those days servants and serfs were considered less than people, really, they were more like extensions of their lord. So turning servants into furniture makes a sort of sense, if you're cursing.

Also they probably could have pretended to keep her out for the prince and then snuck her in the back, or something, and instead stood with the prince. Which whilst not as bad is still, in her mind, deserving of a cursing.

I've always kind of thought of her as a fae, because they're generally super hung up on hospitality, while also having an...unconventional...morality.

My favorite part of All dogs go to heaven is the completely random big lipped alligator musical number about how he wants to bone a dog.

It's been 28 years since the first movie, has anyone that worked on that movie tried to explain that? My head canon is Don Bluth had a trash can full of rejected Dragon's Lair sequences and he figured they deserved to be featured in hell

I might get drawn and quartered for saying this, but I'm not really the biggest fan of Don Bluth's stuff. Most of his stuff is.....the best way I can put it is visually off-putting. I can't really articulate why, I just don't like it. Also he has a bad habit of drawing small girls with bedroom eyes and THAT'S WEIRD.

I can't quite articulate what it is, either, but there's a certain crudeness to it that works very well with the stories he tends to tell.

To me, that's not a bug, it's a feature. The subtly revolting qualities of the animation in Bluth's films is made all the more provocative because of how reactionary his films tend to be. His works - especially his early ones - have a phantasmagoric quality that (seemingly on a conscious level) harkens back to the Disney golden age.

All of you people are making me wish I'd seen a Don Bluth movie as a kid.  I mean, I saw Land Before Time, but its memory has kind of been smudged out by all the lovely sequels, and I haven't seen it probably since I was like five.

I do like his sense of the threateningly grotesque, particularly in Thumbelina. There's an artful, hallucinogenic quality to mediocre animated films from the 70s and 80s that's missing in a lot of today's subpar kid's animation, which trends towards suffocatingly corporate CGI.

It's a literal representation of the phrase "tongues are wagging".SolarFire2 posted:I always associate Bluth animation with a lot of excessive nodding while speaking. Everyone's constantly moving. I know it's to combat cheap-looking "frozen body talking head" animation but it's like riding a tiny boat through choppy water, it makes your head spin.

I agree, it was at least visually interesting in its unpleasantness. I'm not a fan of All Dogs, for example, if nothing else the color palate is somehow both muddy and garish.

His works - especially his early ones - have a phantasmagoric quality that (seemingly on a conscious level) harkens back to the Disney golden age. But his latter stuff is heavily reliant on rotoscoping to the point of hitting the uncanny valley. Like once you start focusing on Anastasia's face in this number it becomes unnerving. From a distance it looks definitely cinematic and what I think people remember 90s Disney movies looking like. But up close it's animated Greg Land.

Timeless Appeal posted:It depends on the film. When you get to Anastasia, it can often be off-putting. In general I don't think the Disney Renaissance's clean colors, full animation, and more exaggerated human characters has necessarily aged well. There is a lot in Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin that frankly looks like good TV animation instead of breathtaking spectacle. Prince Ali is a good example of a musical number that just isn't as impressive looking as I remember. Whereas the big numbers in All Dogs Go to Heaven or the finale to Land Before Time hit the same punches they did for me as a kid. I never thought this. It never seemed hyper detailed to me. Anyways, I love this song.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qA7XKmC5QbQ
