We need Unmature to make a video essay on the animation ghetto and why live-action remakes are consistently terrible yet make billions simply living off the name of an animated movie that never got nearly as much money or respect from the public simply because it's animated. Dude, I work with kids and the amount of parents that say something like "I'm glad they make these because they won't watch the old cartoons" is upsetting.

I'm looking forward to the live action Fantasia remake, starring Robert Downey Jr. as a dancing mushroom, Gary Oldman as the devil, and John Boyega plays the stegosaurus that gets eaten. And it makes a gazillion dollars.

As a kid I watched the Golden Age Disney stuff over and over, didn't care how old looney toons was, didn't care I didn't get 80% of the references in Hollywood Steps out just they were funny-looking people with some amazing sight gags. On another note, it's sobering both how well Rocko's Modern Life holds up and how relate-able Rocko's pitfalls of navigating everyday life is, exaggerated as they were.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:It was also supposed to get a TV series but when the second film was announced they morphed it into Chip And Dale Rescue Rangers instead, bringing in the chipmunk characters and giving them clothing. Chip's clothes were clearly modelled on Indiana Jones and Dale got a Hawaiin shirt as a nod to Magnum PI. According to the interview with the creator in that one episode of Laser Time, it also started as a parody of Miami Vice called Miami Mice but Michael Eisner didn't want them to do a show that was a straight-up parody of an existing IP. Same with Darkwing Duck starting as Double-O Duck.

The most often viewed Disney movies in my house were the ones we recorded on VHS, complete with commercials. We also never got around to converting our whole collection to DVD, and a bunch of movies got lost in the transition. The 'Disney Vault' nonsense didn't help.

Until I was like, 7, I didn't get the concept of Disney cartoons being rereleased and just thought "Oh, hey! New Disney movie!" I remember being baffled that The Aristocats appeared in a hand-me-down book from my sister because we just bought it on VHS this year. I also thought Motown was contemporary when I was 4 (1992) because we listened to it on the radio every morning, so maybe I was a little  .

Yeah, I think buses have gotten better but during the era Rocko was created they were viewed as like the urine-soaked shithole nobody wanted to take. Which of course contributed to stigma against public transportation.

And honestly, unless you live in a major metropolis, they're a major pain the rear end, especially if you're going on weekends. For my last job, I have to - thanks to how it's scheduled, take an hour-long bus ride to work that brings me there from a half-hour early (weekdays) to a full hour early (saturday) for a route that's fifteen minutes by car, and if I work Sundays, if I didn't have a ride, I'd be SOL going home as the last bus leaves exactly the same time my shift ends. Not to mention, not as bad as the Japanese subway system, taking the bus as a woman loving sucks, guys that openly leer or think a bus is a perfect place to pick up chicks is not that uncommon.

Totoro was a cute film. I don't remember too much about the plot beyond the climax, with the little girl running away and her older sister running around the countryside trying to find her, though. (That's not really a big spoiler, but better safe than sorry.)

Snowglobe of Doom posted:He turns her into a sex slave by reprogramming her butt. Back to Starchaser: The Legend of Orin chat!! I stumbled onto an interview with the producer/director and the screenwriter where they go over the film's creation and all that but also mention that they're working hard on cleaning up the film for a blu-ray release as well as developing a live action adaptation. Yeah that'll sell real well, everyone's crying out for more Starchaser guys.  The interviewer specifically asks about the butt reprogramming scene: quote:TR: There are some surprisingly mature elements to Starchaser, particularly in regards to sexuality and violence. For a PG animated film, it pushes boundaries, especially in the scene where Silica, the female robot, is reprogrammed through her butt. Was this something you purposefully set out to do in the script?

Watch Totoro now, it's the perfect antithesis to... basically all of entertainment today. Just a charming story with no cynical pandering whatsoever. No snarky comic relief, no artificial conflicts, no obligatory story beats. In a sense I feel like it's one of the most optimistic pieces of media ever made.

I watched Spirited Away in theatres and that was A Good Movie so I'm all for more Miyazaki. I was very down on Anime for a long time but I recently pulled the stick out of my butt so I'm going to watch it once I actually find it. I don't have a BluRay player, it doesn't seem to be available digitally, and there's no way I'm buy a DVD in the year of our lord two thousand and seventeen.

I've been scoring through the various services I subbed to to see what fun anime I missed in the past twenty years of being a big snob and it turns out you're completely right. There's a few really pretty looking shows and films that I'm burning through, though, and I'm sure I'll find other stuff I like as I keep going through.

Totoro has no plot, no character development, barely any dialogue, no stakes, no jokes, few emotions at play other than whimsy, and was made primarily to get theaters to show another film...and it is still beloved by pretty much everyone. That is how charming it is.

So, uhm... I kind of liked the live action Beauty and the Beast? It was pretty, and even though the Beast's design is really absolute garbage, everyone else's were pretty good. I liked the Lefou subplot, and the extra story bits they added all had a purpose and, well, just kind of worked for me. It didn't wow me of anything but it did it entertained me decently enough.

I'm a fan of Magi for the Arabian Nights setting, though it definitely has some uuh moments. Fun thing is, like FMA it's a Shonen manga written by a woman. Mob Psycho 100 gets a lot of praise for it's art direction, and of course Jojo's despite some jokes really not aging age is extremely stylish, but ymmv on how you handle camp.
