Even while revisiting his familiar themes of loss and longing through time and distance he really was firing on all cylinders for this one. It was the first time i've seen one of his works in the theater and man, seeing his colors on direction on the big screen was worth every penny. The theater was somewhere between half and three quarters full, which seems decent for a subtitled anime movie afternoon matinee. Some of the animation sequences were just

5 Centimeters Per Second and The Garden of Words are ok — Garden of Words has super pretty visuals though. The drama in Your Name is handled way better than both of those movies and its emotional punch is much more satisfying. Highly recommended.

Your Name was fantastic and Whisper of the Heart is probably the best Ghibli movie. It's one of the best movies ever full stop. It's really special, that one.

I still can't believe that Don Bluth directed both The Secret of NIMH and A Troll in Central Park. Is there an animation director with a larger quality difference in their filmography?

Aces High posted:You're most excited to show her Pinocchio? ... yes? Are you not excited to show kids early Disney movies? Basically all of them age like fine wine and it's fun to see little kids watch movies that can capture their imagination. I picked Pinocchio as a "if I had to pick one" thing but basically everything Disney made before the 1980's is something I want to share, but that doesn't make for an interesting list. Plus I'm pretty sure her mother is going to beat me to the punch on most of those movies anyway, excluding Bambi naturally.

A Troll in Central Park, as I understand it, is just incompetent; Shinbo would probably get my vote for "most horrific abuse of his own talent."

One or two of the shows he's worked on are beautiful and completely inoffensive and then the rest of them confirm every negative stereotype you've ever heard about anime and then go on to invent new ones of their own.

My Neighbor Totoro Coraline Nightmare Before Christmas Ratatouille The Last Unicorn Little Nemo in Slumberland The Iron Giant Rango Chicken Run The Great Mouse Detective I don't think I could put these in a proper order, this is just as I thought of them. Wallace and Gromit omitted because I can't choose just one, various Don Bluth things omitted because I haven't seen All Dogs Go to Heaven or The Secret of NIMH since I was a kid and I don't know what my opinion would be today.

Sinners Sandwich posted:Miss Hokusai was really great, chill movie. Check it out. I really liked Miss Hokusai, but note that the movie is basically just a series of vignettes. Great if you love slice of life type stuff, doubly so if you enjoy it in feudal Japan. Doesn't quite match up to Colorful, the director's previous effort, but very few movies probably can. Watch Colorful.

Cockmaster posted:I was just wondering whether to see that one. I was cautiously optimistic when I saw the trailer, but I did notice it scored lower than Boss Baby on Rotten Tomatoes. Well, the critics on Rotten Tomatoes gave Smurfs: the lost village a 40% score, but the audience gave it 73%. Meanwhile, the critics gave Boss Baby a 52% while audiences gave in a 62%. So, technically, smurfs wins against boss baby with audiences even though it loses with critics. But yeah, bullshit numbers aside I do think it's worth checking out. It's simple, but it's funny and entertaining.

I gotta say it's pretty hilarious watching all the praise for a movie which is about as Generic Anime as it possibly gets, from people whose reaction to anime otherwise is most likely "ew, icky"

Just got around to watching The Little Prince on Netflix. I'll admit to having never read the book, but I'm sort of glad if I ever do it'll be after seeing that. It was like someone tried to adapt the book into a movie, it didn't work well as a narrative so they added a framing device that originally had nothing to do with The Little Prince and they decided to shoehorn it in, and then somehow someone's fanfic got shoved into the climax.
