Oh yeah, Secret of NIMH thoughts: I love how quiet and careful a lot of the movie is. So much of the dialogue is spoken in hushed tones and it lets the animators do a lot with character during those moments. There's just great animation throughout. Jeremy the crow goes through so many facial expressions in just one scene (e.g.: where he notices the "sparkly" Mrs Brisby has). This movie oozes quality and care. What a great cast too, both voice-actor-wise and character-wise. Even though Mrs Brisby was clearly the main character, the movie nonetheless felt like a great ensemble piece. I want to see so much more of these characters and this world. But... I've heard the DTV sequel is bad. Am I right in deciding to ignore it? edit: Oh I found the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nk40fCiofjs JFC that looks awful

It's very mediocre-forgettably bad if it was it's own thing, but as a sequel to NIMH it's loving terrible. Lot of contradictions with what the rats were trying to achieve in the first film, and shoehorn an extremely cliche fantasy plot into a setting where it doesn't fit. Like Fievel Goes West is actually good even if lighter in tone then American Tail, and the Land Before Time Sequels are banal, but Timmy to the Rescue is just bad for non-Bluth sequels to Bluth movies.

Just watched Finding Dory. It felt uneeded and somewhat like a souless attempt at hitting as many emotional moments as possible without ever earning them. Its also, except for the brief time in the ocean exhibit tank, not particularly visually striking. Well Pixar I'm done.

My son asked to take him to see the new Smurfs so welp, that's 90 minutes I won't get back. Random pop songs, hyperactive action scenes with no reason to exist other than filling the screen for 5-10 minutes, all attempts at adult humour are just dumb innuendo, and of course the end of the movie is a dance off because of course it is. Meanwhile I've been rewatching a lot of the old Pixar stuff on Netflix with my kids and the contrast is just night and day with well, most 3d animated crap. Even their newer stuff, while certainly not as tight as when they were in their stride, still does so much better than the competition in terms of having a consistent story and world that is entertaining.

I disliked Cars 1 immensely, thought Toy Story 2 and 3 were without real merit, so that makes Finding Doey the last straw. Cars 3 looks dreadful and Coco I might be able to overlook based on music cause i loving love Mexican guitar stylings but nothing in the trailers has shown anytthing that looks interesting either thematically, emotionally, or visually.

I mostly go to Pixar films because it's really easy to convince friends to go do that versus go see something like The Red Turtle, but I haven't been impressed in a long while. Then again, I also didn't think Moana was very good. I can't figure out what my standards are.

I liked Lilo and Stitch, though, so at least I don't have a thing against tropical island settings. Finding Dory was very unenjoyable. Just went on and on and on and everything about it felt emotionally artificial and uninteresting, to boot.

Yeah, I don't know what's going on, but eBay is flush right now with really quality stuff. I think a lot of collectors recently realized it's not really an "investment", like a lot of these things have held their value, but no more.

Drifter posted:Finding Dory was very unenjoyable. Just went on and on and on and everything about it felt emotionally artificial and uninteresting, to boot. Before I saw it, I was immensely surprised Dory didn't get an Oscar nod. Then I saw it. At around forty minutes in, I realized it was just one chase scene leading to the next with no breathing room in-between. It really tried to sell a "All these characters have disabilities!" thing, which might've worked if they didn't keep having characters just power through their disabilities. I was particularly irked with Dory's condition considering how well it was handled in FN. She hadn't powered through her disability, she powered through living with her disability. It was a positive, achievable message that didn't dismiss her struggle. FD Dory just whoop, oh! Remembered a thing! Sometimes a thing that's a long-term memory! Not quite sure why it was forgotten 'til now! And yeah, the setting was blah and... sterile. As was the emotional resolution. Marlin already knew tragedy, and his loss made you connect with the importance of his search for Nemo. Dory forgot her parents existed. Which should be a long-term memory. But CHASE SCENE!

Moana is a structural mess and is carried by how nice the water effects look and some decent song writing so nobody should be embarassed for not feeling it. Still better than Finding Dory.

I'm kind of sad that Pixar is lame now. In college I went to some seminars on animation, almost everyone there was inspired by Pixar. Not to mention the one they held themselves seeking recruitment. There's animation going on, sure, but does frozen or moana or anything dreamworks does inspire anyone to want to work in animation?

It's not about how much you like it, it's about how it creates that connection in your mind between "this is a beautiful thing that someone made" and "I want to make something like this one day." I think part of it might be the jump from 2D to 3D, since it's really easy to look at 2D animation and then go draw it, or something like it. 3D animation is much more difficult to just do on a whim, so it seems less likely to inspire that same kind of reaction. But then again, what do I know? Maybe kids are coming home from Frozen or Moana or what have you and drawing the characters because they like them. But I definitely do feel like Disney and Pixar's devotion to a particular animation style makes it more difficult, in comparison to something like Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, where even in 3D the animation is really zany and over the top.

I don't think Pixar is lame now, but they aren't bulletproof like they used to be. I thought Finding Dory was great, and I also really liked Inside Out. But Cars 2 is obviously not anyone's favorite, Brave was just kind of boring, I htink Monsters U was mixed (I loved it) and The Good Dinosaur was... well really bad. I'm looking foward to Coco because I just absolutely love the Day of the Dead aesthetic in animation, but I've lost all interest in an Incredibles 2 after all this time and I don't think anyone is actually excited for Cars 3. The news of Toy Story 4 doesn't excite me, it just makes me shake my head. Unless they do something completely loving crazy with it Macaluso fucked around with this message at 21:58 on Apr 23, 2017 |

Tell me if I'm chewing wood into the wind here, but I'm still revisiting my childhood obsession with Angry Beavers for the 20th anniversary of the show, and I'm just now reading this interesting article about the show's decline: https://www.vice.com/en_au/article/nickelodeons-angry-beavers-nearly-ended-by-making-the-main-characters-realize-they-were-going-to-die-922 I found this bit, um, interesting: quote:Scannell imposed a "no drag" policy on the show, in an attempt to avoid the risk of children becoming "sexually confused" by seeing beavers gussied up in non-gender-conforming clothing. I also found out that Nick Bakay (voice actor of Norbert, as well as Salem the cat on Sabrina the Teenage Witch) co-wrote both Paul Blart movies
