Was Castle of Cagilostro the only time Miyazaki/Ghibli was involved in something that was already an established property (in this case Lupin III) as opposed to an original film of their own?

Tales from Earthsea = Ursula K LeGuin novels Arrietty = The Borrowers by Mary Norton My Neighbours the Yamadas = some newspaper comic strip I think Howls Moving Castle = Diana Wynne Jones novel

I know at least Howl's Moving Castle is a novel. So was Tales of Earthsea, and Grave of the Fireflies was a short story

Castle in the Sky, Totoro, Princess Mononoke, Pom Poko, Ponyo, and Spirited Away are the "original" movies. Porco Rosso and Nausicaa are based on Miyazaki's own manga, and you could count Wind Rises as being based on a true story. Everything else has some manga or novel it's coming from.

The Wind Rises is weird because it combines a true story with a book called The Wind Has Risen.

Miyazaki also tried getting permission from Astrid Lindgren to do a Pippi Longstocking adaptation in the 70's. She declined, unfortunately.    More here

It's worth noting that while this did not go through, Miyazaki did work on a Heidi, Girl of the Alps cartoon, along with Isao Takahata, another Ghibli co-founder. Takahata also worked an Anne of Green Gables cartoon. The Anne of Green Gables cartoon in particular is available on youtube entirely. It has a very similar artistic sense to the Ghibli films, although it is clearly that sense on a budget. This scene of Anne riding through a grove of flowering apple trees is a good example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUE6lu5350Y&t=1112s

It's harder than it looks. You have to act the song, not just sing it. And being film rather than stage makes it even harder.

I don't know if this is the right place to vent about this, but the 2019 end-credits version of "A Whole New World" pales in comparison to the original. Please get off my lawn.

Play to the actors strengths. In addition I agree with RobindaybirdRobindaybird posted:Honestly even his speaking delivery seems restrained - it feels a bit like Will Smith is being overdirected. Yes. He feels like he's going through a script during the musical number. Doesn't have to be Will Smiths fault though. Looking at the comparison one of the other it might be that the script got bogged down in the "Solo: A Starwars movie" problem where they felt like they absolutely "needed" to add every rhyme and gag in the original despite being constrained by human actors which makes for a very tight script.

Looking through it all, almost none of their movies are original films given that Kiki's Delivery Service was also a book. Maybe Porco Rosso, Spirited Away, Grave of the Fireflies?

Grave of the Fireflies is based on a Japanese auto-biographical short story. IIRC, the reason it became a double feature with My Neighbour Totoro in the first place is that producers were initially reluctant to finance Miyazaki's film, fearing it might turn out to be a flop, whereas Grave was considered a relatively safe investment due to the popular source material.

So it seems the trailer for Abominable has dropped: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrgVtuDRBjM&t=4s It looks... fine; very colorful. But I watched it without sound first and was briefly so happy at a movie with the prospect of no white people in it. And then I turned on the sound and wasn't really happy anymore.  Just leave the white people out of non-white stories, not even as a sop, if you please.

Or exciting. It looks as standard as you can get, though maybe that's just the trailer doing a bad job of showing the good stuff. Visually I love it, but man was that a boring trailer. Also I hate the song and I don't like that it's apparently the song they are using for the violin stuff instead of making their own song. edit: Also to be fiar to your last point I think the only white people in the movie according to the trailer are the villains

I'm shocked they are delaying it but I'm happy they are. I know it's not a TON of extra months to work on stuff, but it's still better than what everyone thought was that now the animators would have to work double extra triple overtime to still meet the November deadline. Also someone posted this in the Sonic thread:quote:Sega at the very least had an all hands meeting right after the movie trailer. Aaron Webber (social media guy) had to arrange for someone else to do the Sonic live stream that day because he was in the meeting (needing to promote TSR so close to launch.) Later in the evening was when they announced they would change Sonic. Which maybe Sega took notice of all the negativity and was like "you need to fix this now"

nerdman42 posted:Wasn't it also to sort of soothe people's mood with Totoro after dealing with the depression hour that is Fireflies? The order wasn't fixed, some theatres played Totoro first, others started with Firefly. Here's what Takahata himself said about it: quote:The film was very well received from the start because of its themes, of course. People thought it was a very meaningful work. It was a little awkward in a way, because it was double-featured with My Neighbor Totoro. The response was different depending on which film was shown first. My Neighbor Totoro would make them happy, then this Grave of the Fireflies... Those who saw Totoro first didn't want to see Fireflies to the end. Those who saw Fireflies first didn't have that problem, and stayed to the end. The double featuring was a problem, I'd say. (Source)

Particularly, you'd want to do the art as vectors within Flash, and shape tween them with the keyframes matched as closely as possible to the beat.  (Tigtone was probably done in either Flash or Toon Boom.)

I normally hate film reviews but I like this sentence wrt Aladdin from the nyt:quote:None of these have surpassed the original, but that might be too much to ask. I can’t think of one — not “The Jungle Book”; not “Mary Poppins Returns”; not the recent, somber “Dumbo”; certainly not this “Aladdin” — that seems able to stand alone in the popular imagination. They are weird and grotesque hybrids, belonging to no particular era, style or creative sensibility, like dishes at a chain restaurant that fuse disparate food trends to produce flavors alien to every known earthly cuisine.
