The oogieloves was just special. I get the core idea ("interactive movie for kids!") seem like it's sound, but everything is botched and the fact parents are okay with their kids yelling at a TV at home, but not with 30-40 kids yelling in a theater.

One thing I remember from Trolls is they had Anna Kendrick do multiple duets with Justin Timberlake, which was unkind. She's a decent singer but putting her right up against the real thing is, like, not fair. Reminded me of Little Shop of Horrors where Rick Moranis is singing across from Ellen Greene.

I still like the look of it, even if the metaphor is overused, and hell I'll take that over 99% of applications of animation talent (e.g. student films that are a ~homage~ to someone's favorite anime).

Barudak posted:Let's absolutely not. It's a man who is somewhat responsible describing his personal hell. quote:For reasons noted, everyone's first thought was to have Mel Blanc play the scrappy one. Mel was contacted. Mel was interested. Mel was too expensive. The great Mr. Blanc did not come cheap and at times, by whatever decision-making process he used to manage his career, he'd suddenly decide to up his price a few notches. One day, Joe Barbera said to me, "We should have no problem getting Mel. He just did Captain Caveman and a couple other jobs for us." The next day, Mr. B. told me, "Forget about Mel."

ThePlague-Daemon posted:I don't really have anything new to add, but I also really enjoyed Coco. One thing that's kinda weird that I've noticed Pixar likes to do is as the technology has gotten better, their texturing has gotten a lot more realistic even when they designs themselves aren't. I usually notice it on the environments. I noticed it especially on the great grandmother in this, and I've usually noticed it on the environments.

Apparently this is partly why Coco had 21 minutes of Frozen attached to its start: https://twitter.com/pointedfox/status/935419758001897472 For some context, the tweeter was a WDAS employee for a good while (now at Blizzard Entertainment), and worked on Zootopia. Not gonna lie, I really wanna know what the hell happened with Gigantic. (Granted, I'm not sure what Ralph Breaks the Internet getting a bump up in the schedule has to do with this Frozen short - was it supposed to air in front of Gigantic instead of Coco?)

Shadow Hog posted:(Granted, I'm not sure what Ralph Breaks the Internet getting a bump up in the schedule has to do with this Frozen short - was it supposed to air in front of Gigantic instead of Coco?) It's probably due to how they contract animators, ie during pre-production they'll only have a small handful of staff, usually the directors and writers (and more) hammering away at a working script, and increase those numbers as they move into full production and need more manpower. They probably had a bunch of people signed on to work for Gigantic, but when it got canned they suddenly had a couple hundred or so guys they were paying to animate nothing. Seems logical they'd have them work on other projects, but if those other projects were still in pre-production then they'd have to get their scheduling bumped up. So instead they had the animators work on a short while the production schedule for the next movie gets sorted out. So to answer your question, if Gigantic wasn't canceled, we wouldn't have gotten this short at all, since everybody would have been working on that instead.

Pick posted:Let's learn about the birth of Scrappy Doo. quote:The next thing that occurred was an unusually ugly negotiation between my agent and the gent in charge of Business Affairs for Hanna-Barbera. The latter took the position that this was not a pilot; that it was just another episode of Scooby Doo, so it should pay the same mediocre fee as all other episodes. My agent took the position that this was a pilot because (a) it was introducing a new character and something of a new format and (b) the network would or would not order episodes based on my script. I would also be going through several weeks of network meetings and extra rewrites, something that did not usually transpire on your average episode. Therefore, he concluded, it was a pilot and better pay was appropriate.

quote:A week or so later, I was in the Hanna-Barbera Xerox Room and I happened to see my script being mass-copied for distribution. I peeked to see if any rewrites had been done since it had left me and there didn't seem to be any. In fact, the script hadn't even been retyped. They were copying the printout I'd handed in, the one from my word processor.

quote:There finally came a day when no more revisions could be done to my script, the one that introduced Scrappy Doo. The show was behind schedule and production had to accelerate or they wouldn't make air dates. (That was not an unusual situation, by the way. During my days at Hanna-Barbera — and I gather this was constant — every show was always behind schedule. If a producer or story editor might verge on getting ahead of schedule, Bill Hanna would immediately adjust the schedule to put them behind. There was an ongoing fear that if a show wasn't behind schedule, someone might not work as rapidly as possible.)

I went to see Coco and a member of our group joining us for a rewatch advised us to wait until the Frozen short was over. Two other members ignored the warning and went in on time. And we waited, then finally went in during the last five minutes. Just because my shadow isn't scorched into the pavement doesn't mean I don't got the radiation sickness.

Coco was wonderful and because of an ongoing issue in my life right now I was a half hour late to my screening and I STILL HAD TO WATCH JOSH GAD'S AWFUL loving SNOWSONA DAWDLE ABOUT CHRISTMAS FOR TEN MINUTES. But yeah Coco was really special. I wouldn't put it in Pixar's A+ tier but it's easily one of the best movies I've seen this year. I was a sobbing mess for the last 15 minutes - it didn't help that Granny Coco was essentially a combination of my departed grandmothers. The wonders of the Land of the Dead were splendid, but honestly my favorite part was the Frida Kahlo subplot, they utterly nailed that joke. As for empty theaters, I saw Strange Magic on opening day. I was alone in the theater. That thing about running laps around the theater is not inaccurate. I ended up counting every seat in the theater. I remember that total, 210, more than I remember the movie itself.

I didn't hate it, but it definitely skewed younger. I would have preferred more of the "Our hosed upbringing left us bereft of any real connections as a family" over "Olaf fucks around while making yet another fruitcake joke." which yeah, it wouldn't have gone over well with kids.
