Some of it, yes. There’s some rough-looking flash stuff going on with her face though.

Is flash still used? I thought that they moved from that. E: the wiki says they still use Flash 8 for the show, with "a lot of proprietary components" developed in-house by Hasbro. But the movie was done by a company called Toon Boom. IDK what they use. I don't care about the content, but it's interesting how this stuff is made. Is there a successor to Flash that's used by 2d animation studios? E2: Wikipedia says Toon Boom uses an in-house developed animator called Harmony, quote:Harmony has been in continuous development since 2005 and has been used on productions like The Simpsons, The Princess and the Frog, The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water, The Congress and My Little Pony: The Movie, among others.

yeah a lot of "flash" shows are actually animated in toonboom (for example, stuff animated by Mercury Filmworks like the Mickey shorts and Wander Over Yonder), and ToonBoom is also the go to for compositing hand drawn stuff nowadays

Again, I haven't seen it, but the animation is pretty amazing for a movie special for a TV show. However, I seriously cannot imagine what the gently caress the plot is because apparently it has like 23948230573498753485 characters in it. How can there possibly be enough time for all these things to show up? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nf-ysT2vErQ Cat man?? Pick fucked around with this message at 23:49 on May 19, 2018 |

I assume that, as in The Simpsons Movie, every minor character from the show turns up for a small cameo, but no one receives much characterisation because you either already know who all these guys are or you probably wouldn't care anyway.

Yeah the MLP movie came out in theaters. It ruffled some feathers in the Canadian animation industry cause they brought up all these really great animators from Burbank to Vancouver to work on it, and suddenly Canadians are up against guys who have always worked for Guild shops and get sweet benefits and much better pay than anybody doing toon boom in Van is making. The US guys were pissed about getting paid less for this job but still wanted to work on the project, and the Canadians realized how underpaid they have been for their entire careers. Now there's murmurs about starting a union in Vancouver but I dunno if that'll ever happen.

I watched it in a fit of pointless nostalgia. It's cute and the effects really are gorgeous and darn it if I wasn't happy to see Sea Ponies return. (Speaking of, it's also ruthlessly toyetic in a way I don't think even the 80's My Little Pony movie was. Nothing says "This character is here to be made into a toy" like introducing her as super important, having her do nothing important at all, but ooh look she has two forms, kids, buy both of them!)

Fantastic Mr Fox just says be an rear end in a top hat to everyone, especially women. Like many adult-oriented animation films, it gets a huge boost from people who are tired of animation being "for kids" and look at anything outside that mold with incredibly rosy glasses.

extension: Fantastic Mr. Fox says that property is theft, and it's totally cool and good for the subterranean, homeless other to steal their daily bread not merely to subsist, but to prosper. The rat was never a bad animal. He was just a victim of incredible want. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mp1_PuUoSaM "Like melted gold." What a great movie.

i ended up checking out the mlp movie for the hell of it, and it's a pretty straightforward extension of what i remember from the show: Naive Idealists encounter Cynical Pessismist(s), the former convince the latter to be less...that, credits roll. It's nice mostly the part which stood out was that the big Buy Our Toys musical number was going exactly according to plan when twilight breaks ranks off-screen and does the Cynical Pessismist thing instead, ruining everything, which then segues into emily blunt's character telling her how great Cynical Pessismism is. also her character is great because she's exactly the sort of Edgy Brooding Antagonist that define(s)(d) the whole brony idea, except her real name is fizzlepop berrytwist

Not Lord and Miller, so I'm curious as to how it's going to turn out. The directors' resumes on IMDb are a little all over the place, with one of them giving us both Trolls and Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo. Of course, Lego Batman wasn't Lord/Miller either, and turned out excellent. (Then again, so was Lego Ninjago, which I heard was just kinda "eh".)
