That's always what I've liked least about Illumination's designs, because it makes it seem more like clip-art or craft store stamp art - like emojis, even before they made the Emoji Film. I've only noticed that when they're doing an adaptation instead of something original, though. Other than that, though, I think the screenshots are all right. I'm looking forward to it more than I had been.

BTW I've been trying to find this super-old recently restored cartoon with a line morphing into the legs of a chicken and dancing, with the body of the chicken occasionally joining them before wandering off. It starts off with fully animated opening titles and one of the letters unfolds into the line to start the whole thing. It was reportedly Pablo Picasso's favourite work of animation. Anyone know what i'm talking about? I saw it a few months ago and forgot where.

Hedrigall posted:My fiancé and I had a great time watching it. Of course it doesn’t match up to the original and of course Robin Williams can never be replaced but gosh darn if it wasn’t a fun time at the movies. Agreed on Speechless. It wasn't bad but felt out of place. It felt like a song from Hamilton or something. Arabian Nights I thought was the best "remix" of the movie. They did a good job updating it.

I think this is cute. I'm interested. I know people don't like it, but I personally love Pixar's weird thing of putting non-mundane things like monsters, or fairy tale creatures or emotions in boring regular people bullshit.

It's about going to their dad's funeral (or scattering his ashes maybe?) and it's based on the writer's true story with his real brother and real dead dad so I guess it's written from a real place for someone but man does it look ungodly generic. Like there is 50 other recent "what if it was fairy tale stuff but they lived like it was modern day" including shrek and monsters inc.

Speaking of Monsters Inc https://mobile.twitter.com/ArtofLostandCan/status/1134502774153076736 This is from when Disney formed their own off brand Pixar to produce Pixar content before they actually owned the company. None of those movies were ever made, and that department was later transferred to Disney’s own Cg studio.

Do kids even get the painted van joke? I guess they would've seen them in other movies. There's something about the look that does make me think 70s/80s movie suburbs. I didn't realize it was based on something from the writer's life though, so the aesthetic might be on purpose. Anyways, it will probably be fine. Not excited by another Pixar tear jerker though.

And yet you wouldn't believe how many people pitch a fit if a fantasy game doesn't have these as its default options. And start grumbling about special snowflakes if you pick anything other than human. Funny thing is in the long run most people end up just picking human or something distinctly nonhuman.

Beachcomber posted:It would be neat if there was a game where standard human was the big slow option or the weak agile option. The D&D chat thread had a topic for a while on the fantasy settings people came up with as kids, usually cliched as hell but sometimes interesting, and it was pointed out that one setting had humans be the smallest 'player' race rather than average. Even Star Trek somewhat unusually has humans be among the weakest of the 'main' races; Vulcans, Klingons, Romulans, and even freakin Ferengi are all super-strong by human standards, though the show doesn't always remember that, and it's usually significant if an alien race is more physically frail or weaker than humans rather than equal or stronger. And hell, going back to Lord of the Rings, humans are significant in the setting but the story itself has humans be a minority of the main characters and the hobbits are the main viewpoint ones. (and have a society the most like the author's own) The Hobbit even significantly has no human main characters. (presuming Gandalf doesn't count)

All Pixar trailers tend to be pretty terrible, but yeah after Good Dinosaur I’m not gonna ignore the fact that Pixar can take an interesting concept or setting and then do absolutely nothing with it.

I didn't realize it was based on something from the writer's life though, so the aesthetic might be on purpose. I think it looks okay, but the Monsters Inc comparison is kind of weird. Monsters Inc. isn't really rooted in fantasy but more just generic ideas of monsters under the bed outside of the Yeti's appearance. It also has a really, really different aesthetic going for it. There are definitely some modern--nearly twenty years ago--hooks in Monsters, but it maintains a very 1950s industrial film feel. Inside Out is definitely a closer visual cousin in that way.
