PenguinKnight posted:The interesting thing is, imo, that for the first half of the 90s, animated films were kind of a wasteland outside of Disney/Ghibli For all the complaining we do in this thread, the animation field is more diverse these days than it has been throughout most of the 20th century. It just tends to be forgotten easily because a handful of fairly homogenous releases dominate the box office.

mycot posted:Didn't Storks actually go out of its way to not be totally straight (despite the premise) by having one of the couples receiving babies be same-sex? Maybe - if you're talking about that one couple that isn't fully in frame and only appear for a fraction of a second. Totally inclusive. Hey did you hear about that new other inclusive film? They have a minority playing the role of a servant for nearly a full minute of screentime. So brave. So progressive. Edit: Isn't it also weird that the message of the film's climax seems to be that a 'Baby Factory' is meant to be in constant production of offspring, while completely discarding any attempt at economic gain? You know, as illustrated by the poorly engineering shipping plant being thrown into the ocean. Almost as if the movie is trying to trying to say something about the intended purpose or role of....hrmm, I have a hard time pinning that down.

Hedrigall posted:I liked the funny wolfs and also the birds The wolves were amazing. I went back and watched their sequences a few times just to savor seeing some good Canis representation on the screen. I might need to buy a replacement avatar for this based off that sequence. Form of a wolf-post indeed.

Canidae is a good family. Probably in my top 5. Yes, get a wolf avatar! An animated gif of all their transformations, if you can squeeze it under the file size limit.

Hedrigall posted:https://youtu.be/1JG6f5_37tg This both works and doesn't work for me. I have to see the rest of the movie to really get a feel for what they're going for with Gaston. I like reinterpreting him as a pompous prettyboy that LeFou has a severe man crush on. But without him being the man's man all the other men look up to it begs the question how he's able to rally the whole village to storm the Beast's castle. Hopefully it's done in a way that makes sense, so I will reserve judgment.

I swear the music is overpowering the lyrics very slightly. Their LeFou is spot-on, but I'm not really sold on their Gaston. Voice should be deeper! Though on the subject of deep voices, Cogsworth went too far in the other direction. I'm always immediately put off by that deep voice anytime he speaks in a trailer. Got too used to David Ogden Stiers's take, I guess...

nerdman42 posted:Spidey went to college and runs a company now, it's probably fine Ain't nothin wrong with two manly business men giving each other manly, platonic, pecks on the lips with a bit of tongue. Now this ain't theatrical animation, but I figure it's relevant to this thread's interests. Open Mike Eagle released a music video for one of his tracks, done by Studio Doulzia. The group is apparently an international gathering of artists from Canada to Japan. As a result, the video itself looks like one of those old Anime music videos cut up to American songs, while also holding the feeling that it's being cut up by a DJ live to go with the track. It's pretty neat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tODoC8poz7Y

In 2004 Sascha co-created the 'Guardian of the Highlands' concept with his wife Tessa who penned the screenplay. Taking almost 12 months to illustrate the outline storyboards and draw all the characters by hand, Sascha is a perfectionist. Its the originality, depth of character and attention to detail that provides this concept its appealing and distinctive look. He spent months developing in-depth personalities for all the characters before production even began, recalling all those years of learning while studying neuro-psychology at Zurich University, Switzerland. Clearly one of the most important personalities was Sir Billi, voiced by Sir Sean. This animated feature plays like none of the current fare on the market place. With it’s very distinctive look and warm textures it is rich with authentic and discreetly embedded humorous and artistic details within many of the interior scenes. Director and illustrator Sascha Hartmann paid homage to many of the world’s greatest painters including Jan Vermeer’s, Rembrandt to Caravaggio, with his clever twist on the Sir Billi’s art collection. “Jan Vermeer’s ‘Geographer’ is a brilliant example of the masterful use of natural light. Vermeer has been a major influence on modern cinematographers and especially with our approach to lighting in Guardian of the Highlands,” stated Hartmann. Hartmann’s love of art, history and literature is splattered throughout the animated feature with clever references to Samuel Beckett and his very humorous iconography, with additional references to Michael Curtiz ‘Casablanca’ and Bob Fosse’s ‘Cabaret’, smoothly animated and played by Alan Cumming’s character, ‘Gordon the Goat’. We also see that Hartmann reinforces this trait of the reluctant hero, which can be depicted from other cinematic references in this iconography. I'm getting punk'd again, aren't i

Lion King 1.5 is loving atrocious and I'm struggling to get through it. It's just endless fart jokes, really stupid fourth-wall breaks (hey let's stop the movie for 45 seconds so Pumbaa can get a snack! Nope, that's the whole joke!), and repeating gags and little bits of animation from the first film in really uncreative ways. And Marge Simpson has some lines. It's so goddamn bad. Why was it made?? What audience is it for?? It's the worst cash grab ever, it's totally pointless and plotless and loving badddddd It's the Lion King equivalent of "Hey Nikki and Paulo were in all these scenes since season 1, see? They experienced all the things that happened too!" Hedrigall fucked around with this message at 10:14 on Mar 1, 2017 |
