In The Asylum version of the film, all the characters are just snakes.

Guy Mann posted:Also since this is the one animation forum that agrees with me about how creepy Don Bluth's fixations are can I just say that Burton's recurring motif of having dead women with detachable limbs as love interests in his movies feels like it might be some weird fetish thing? His limb removal fetish also extends to his male characters. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m355Zag_G8E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9nioISP8ls https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAbAd4QBL1s&t=1515s There's probably some better examples than those last two, I just grabbed the first few random Tim Burton videos I found on youtube.

Maybe it's just fun to animate zombies like that and it doesn't need to be a fetish

Macaluso posted:I tried to watch The Last Unicorn but that movie has trash animation and it's actually painful to watch. I finally found time to rewatch the film, and as many good things as there are in it, the animation is definitely ugly. It's all the more of a shame as the art is gorgeous as long as it's standing still, but outside the backgrounds, nothing ever does. Even when a character is seemingly holding a pose, they jitter and vibrate. It's intensely uncomfortable. Similarly, there's very little silence. A musically number begins immediately after any pause, and that quickly becomes cacophonous regardless of any songs individual quality. It's an animated film that would strongly benefit from being less animated.

Schwarzwald posted:I finally found time to rewatch the film, and as many good things as there are in it, the animation is definitely ugly. yeah all the art and animation in The Last Unicorn looks phenomenal to me except the Unicorn herself, who needs to like randomly wobble her unsettling looking head around every time she talks because I guess some senior animator said she held too still during dialogues or something Macaluso posted:That fox movie right? Fantastic Mr Fox I think? I couldn't get into that movie either cause I just found the animation unpleasant to watch. I know I'm in the super minority there and pretty much everyone here loves that movie to death but I could not get into it cause of that. And I'm gonna be real honest, even though it's a good movie I have a hard time going back and watching the original Toy Story because the animation is so dated at this point compared to how Toy Story 3 currently looks. I feel like hand drawn animated movies don't really have this issue for me George Clooney is an unpleasant protagonist even when he's not a grisly taxidermy fox A Wizard of Goatse fucked around with this message at 17:28 on Oct 16, 2017 |

I just people would stop arguing that it's both a Halloween and Christmas movie. It's a goddamn Christmas movie.

Last Unicorn's style is amazing, and the animation is very good, it's just not animated the way that people generally expect. It's a beautiful-ugly film, which is exactly what it's trying to be.

Spouse watched last unicorn, despised it. Perceived it entirely in the context of feminine purity and loathed it. Favorite character was the Harpy because a)it doesn't doubt its purpose and has no sadness and b) for a fleeting moment they could hope it would kill the Unicorn.

This is a completely true statement: Hugh doesn't like TLU either, and one of my main concerns when he came to my new apartment was whether he'd made a comment about the Last Unicorn cels above my couch. If you watch it when you are older you don't "get" it.

It definitely requires a certain frame of mind. I enjoyed it when I first watched it at 20, but I can see how it might be not be for people once they reach a certain age.

for years i've been trying to find my illustrated one-page childhood epic "the dragn and the unercoon" that was inspired by that movie, i know it's somewhere in my family's vaults but have never been able to find it and it's even more frustrating now

I watched it for the first time at about 25 and thought it was pretty dark but enjoyable; my wife at the time absolutely loathed it.

It's boring as hell and doesn't actually get the tone of the book. Like, it's not "This is your 'ghost', which lives in this 'shell'" level of bad, but they still manage to whitewash everyone from the book while also jumbling up bits and pieces of the story to make some kinda ad-libbed version of the books. And again, it's just boring to watch, and that's taking into account that Ghibli movies are not exactly thrills-a-mintue kinda movies. Yeah, expected. Probably worth the watch if it keeps up with Ducktales in terms of quality, or at the very least Tangled.

It's a strange reversal of fortune that TJ Miller is now too famous to do a voice in a Disney TV cartoon.

That was the one about the wonderful fantasy world where your adviser only tries to steal your research and kill you but otherwise lets you go home at a reasonable hour and doesn't touch your hips as he walks past right

He’s probably best known as Erlich Bachman from Silicon Valley.

That's bizarre because he reprised his role in the Dreamworks HTTYD series. Oh well, guess Erlich's got his own stuff to do.

Just watched The Last Unicorn because of this thread. It’s a weird, dated mess of a movie in a lot of ways but I can’t say I hated it. Definitely recommended if you like weird artsy bullshit.
