It looks alright, and I'm always down for more Eva Green, but Dumbo is already perfect, so I'm not sure how a remake could possibly improve upon it.

As much as I complained about Be Prepared being take out of the Lion King, these live action remakes would be even more pointless if they made no changes from the original and were the same movie but not cartoons

Dumbo will probably be bad but the story also isn't much of a stretch for Burton and honestly already fits the story he always tells way better than Alice in Wonderland

What is the story he always tells? The movies of his that I remember seeing are Nightmare Before Christmas and Alice in Wonderland, and beyond the whole "travel to another world" thing I can't think of a lot of things in common.

Anyone else see an Incredibles 1/2 double feature last night? Ours was plagued with problems (like the house lights not dimming until 10 minutes into the first film and the previews being all garbled) and they had no intermission between the two films. But once it got rolling, it was great.

The sequel's just as good as the first movie, in that they're both rocking good times. Watching the first film re-rendered in 4K on a gigantic screen definitely shows that we've advanced in terms of the graphics and realism of these CGI rendered movies.

That's what I thought when they did the Toy Story 1/2 double features right before 3 came out. CG animation ages like milk.

It's not as rough as that, I think. Incredibles was when they got solid, no-excuses human animation working, and Bird was the guy to make it happen. Everyone is so expressive and the characters on-screen are so fluid in motion that it really helps paper over the fact that texturing, particle effects, and lighting are leaps and bounds ahead in the new film. The lava and rock texturing in the island are particular offenders. The city and house sets still manage to look OK due to strong art direction, but that's because they're intentionally minimalist to fit the art deco/retro-future style. I loved the original when it came out (saw it twice in the theater) and bought the art book and I still love watching it even though it has aged.

DVDs in lower resolutions (as well as film projections) have a kind of antialias effect that softens these things up a bit, and that made some of the old flaws more apparent. But what was actually improved was the lighting and dynamic range. I had an appreciation for the scene where Mr. Incredible is doing his workout montage in the trainyard, which had pretty strong lighting and shadow texture and detail was considerable. On the other hand the resolution was great for things that had any kind of art detail. Bob's office/study was an absolute treat.

The most distracting thing was where hair met heads, though. I remember Syndrome and Helen's hair looking great when I originally saw the film. Now when you see where the hair meets skin, it seems like a doll. New films are able to do better simulations of those kinds of things. This is the kind of stuff that render speed has bought us.

Ignoring all the things I noticed about visual cues, though, is that the movie is so strong on its writing and direction that they just kind of fade into the background. I wish more movies were able to pull off the simultaneous love/skewering that Incredibles 1 and 2 do, because that's what says it's a work of art to me. A recognition and embrace of its flaws yet tries nonetheless to be better.

Yeah, but surely there has to be a limit to patience. The Thief and the Cobbler took thirty years to never be completed, and even in it's 'definitive' cut it's not a very good movie. It plays like an animation test reel. There's no excusing John Kricfalusi taking six years and counting to release a 5 minute short.

and really all the stuff added back into the Thief and Cobbler, while visually impressive when it's not pencil tests/ashcan level set up, really just dragged the pacing down to a snail's crawl.

And honestly, the longer something takes in animation/film, the higher the chances of it either just being shelved, or end up like Pluto Nash

Honestly, does Richard Williams gain much of anything from animating on 1s instead of 2s? I know it does make the movement more fluid, but as long as the key frames are good does it make enough of a difference to justify doubling the amount of effort involved?

Yeah, I just saw The Incredibles and Incredibles 2 back-to-back also (although I just saw the first one at my house instead of at a movie theater). I was expecting the new one to be a little worse than the original, but I think it was actually a little better instead, with the inherent problems of sequelization bringing it back down to about as good as the original. Incredibles 3 is the main Pixar sequel I'd be interested in going forward, and I would happily cancel Toy Story 4 to make it happen. (Although that's not really a fair trade, given that I think Toy Story 4 is a bad idea that shouldn't happen anyway.)

In any case I'm glad that Pixar is backing off of the sequels, but this is an example of what Pixar sequels should be, as opposed to Cars 2 (simply terrible, everyone knows this movie is bad and it's probably actually single-handedly responsible for the "Pixar sequels are bad" consensus just by throwing the average), Monsters University (I actually do like this movie quite a bit, but I still think making it was a bad decision on a lot of levels, which is pretty much the best case scenario for Toy Story 4 at this point), or Finding Dory (pretty and fun but a bizarrely fleeting experience, probably because it doesn't sufficiently embrace Dory and Hank as the protagonist and deuteragonist and tries to spin too many plates by looping Marlin and Nemo in just because they were the leads of the first movie).
