One weird rear end early thing that must've been in the western series bible at one point is the idea of a backstory where Robotnik and Sonic grew up together. It was only used twice: This weird early kids book, and the last issue of the original Archie miniseries (which had some pages tacked on at the start to have it be an "imaginary story")

oh my god what if the Mario animated movie is successful enough that it leads into an Avengers-esque Super Smash Brothers movie?

JelloApocalypse moved his Every [company] movie in 10 words or less series on to Pixar. Also is gonna do lengthier reviews for these marathons on his Patreon; to illustrate what he's planning, he's put out one for the Pixar marathon, which is available to non-Patrons as well. Future ones won't be!

Shadow Hog posted:JelloApocalypse moved his Every [company] movie in 10 words or less series on to Pixar. "Toy Story 3 is basically Toy Story 2, but better in every way" Uh, Toy Story 2 is a road-trip style adventure movie while Toy Story 3 is more of a prison break film. Like, if you boil them down to one sentence descriptions of the basic plots then yeah, they're the same general idea of eventually children grow up and don't play with their toys anymore, but those are background ideas in the two movies, and they both take them in different directions anyway. Otherwise the tone and style of each movie is really different, Toy Story 2 is more lighthearted adventure times while Toy Story 3 is far more dynamically dramatic, basically anytime Toy Story 2 would have told a joke, Toy Story 3 would try to raise the stakes. Agreed though that neither movie really knows what to do with Buzz so they redo the whole "doesn't know he's a toy" thing instead of something new. I haven't listened to the whole podcast thing cause I'm going to bed right now but I'm getting the impression that he's more interested in talking about the movies at their most basic level, more about what they did the same than what they did differently.

I get hating Madagascar (well, the first and second at least) but Penguins of Madagascar was nonstop madcap slapstick silliness with some surprisingly excellent animation, how can you not find at least some enjoyment in it? I guess if he didn’t like that kind of stuff then whatever but then he gave Road to El Dorado like a 7/10 so I don’t even know. Actually are there any other recent animated films that scratch that Penguins/Emperors New Groove “the film is an excuse to have as much silly cartoony fun as possible” itch? Captain Underpants came pretty close, as did Thor: Ragnarok (not an animated film, I know, but it felt like one a lot of the time).

A bit of animation history, an interview with veteran animator from WB, UPA, Hanna-Barbera and many other studios during the Golden Age. quote:I never liked Milt Kahl; I didn't like what he did with people. I loved Ken Harris's animation, but Ken Harris was an rear end in a top hat sometimes. We used to argue, because he was terribly right-wing; he was almost a fascist. quote:Warner Bros. was the cheapest company in the world. At all those big studios, those guys who were the big wheels [owned] the sweatshops in the garment district in New York. They went to L.A. and became producers, and they took the garment-district mentality into the film industry. quote:Benny I always loved; we worked at UPA on Gay Purr-ee together, and we were drinking a lot; the only problem was, we were both drinking too much. We both quit; he quit because if he hadn't, he probably would have died of cirrhosis of the liver or whatever. quote:Chuck is looking grumpier and grumpier every day; and he's not talking to me. I don't know why. I'm doing the next story, which is a Martian something, and I'm doing some story followup; either that, or I'm writing a Coyote and Road-Runner thing. He finally peeks in the door—he's in the room right next to me—and he says, "Corny, I've got to talk with you. Come into my room." He's got all this storyboard in front of him; he's got a few of my drawings down, and he's got all these scribbles, scratched over. He's been on this thing for five weeks, and he can't do anything with it. He says, "I can't do this." I said, "What's wrong?" "This is not my Daffy Duck." http://www.michaelbarrier.com/Interviews/Cole/Cole_Interview.html

You just articulated the problem I had with CU, holy poo poo. I remember being kind of annoyed that every time the movie seems like it's about to have some degree of confidence in itself, BAM, FART JOKE, EVIL TOILETS, PEOPLE NAMED POOP, CAN'T HAVE THE KIDS REMEMBERING THIS AS AN ACTUAL MOVIE. but it's not really the substance of the jokes that's the issue. it's that the movie can't decide if it wants to be a goofy madcap comedy like Penguins or do something a little headier, and ends up trying to constantly flip-flop between the two approaches. and the movie is like a thousand times better at heart than at poo jokes.

The Ayshkerbundy posted:Hotel Transylvania having god-teir animation and ehhHHHhhh-tier writing is probably the the pinnacle of this quality divide Speaking of great animation with mediocre writing, I took the kid to Sherlock Gnomes today. At least it held her attention for the entire running time, which is more than Peter Rabbit managed to do. The theater was half empty, so I doubt we'll be seeing any more sequels (until Elton wants to wring a few more pounds' worth of royalties out of his back catalog, at least). There were some fun bits where the movie went inside Sherlock's head, which were in black-and-white hand-drawn animation, but otherwise it was a by-the-numbers slog.

We worked in what they called Termite Terrace for six months, almost eight months before they tore it down and moved us over to the other place. Willie and I worked there for about a year, maybe. That final day, they just totally demolished the building. They tore down all the pipes, they tore down all the walls. We had a huge party; everybody got bombed out of their minds, and we tore up the whole building, inside out.

So I'm finally watching Coco and I'm about 18 minutes in. I'm finding it interesting how this is one of the few times, as a white dude, I don't at all relate to the characters in a movie. At least so far. I don't mean for this to sound like a complaint either. I'm not saying it's bad at all, I find it interesting, because I imagine mexican people relate to this stuff a lot. Because the family dynamic, to me, as a non-mexican, is so insane to me I can't personally relate to it. If my own flesh and blood grandma tried to act like the grandma in this movie does I'd tell her to shove it up her rear end. There seems to be this hierarchy of family that is unquestioned and that's just not how my family is at all edit: The land of the dead is gorgeous. I've always adored the Day of the Dead aesthetic so much Macaluso fucked around with this message at 17:08 on Mar 27, 2018 |

Well Coco was really good. Gorgeous movie. Even with the twist being obvious from like second one of the movie, it didn't make the story any less satisfying. I didn't like the dog, I'm sorry folks. It was interesting seeing a movie with SUCH a different cultural background than mine. The family stuff is just very very different from my own as a white dude. The movie also reminded me how good it is when Pixar does a movie that isn't a sequel. I've loved most of their sequels but there's something magical about a movie with a setting they haven't done before. With the exception of The Good Dinosaur.

I've loved most of their sequels but there's something magical about a movie with a setting they haven't done before. With the exception of The Good Dinosaur. I agree, though, I think I might like the original stuff more than the sequels. I mean, I'm sort of interested in Wreck-It Ralph! 2, even if the setting seems rather far removed from the original to the point that you wonder why they're making this beyond money (maybe it'll become clearer once the film's actually out?), but I'm genuinely curious as to what original property or adaptation WDAS is bringing out next. So, it's a tad annoying that we only have two sequels with Wreck-It Ralph! 2 and Frozen 2 as WDAS's entire lineup for the immediate future - and no D23 to reveal much until 2019. (I mean, they'll probably announce something outside of a D23 - I'm honestly not sure where they tend to announce their projects, but I imagine an investor meeting or similar wouldn't be far off the mark.) ...even if I want a Zootopia 2 too (with the foreknowledge that there's no way it could possibly live up to the first). And yes, I know that's largely WDAS-focused when your comment was more about Pixar, but a lot of that applies to Pixar as well (all I know about their upcoming library is Incredibles 2 and the rather-unnecessary Toy Story 4), so
