Space Cadet Omoly posted:You really should, the whole movie is like that. It's not exactly on Roald Dahl's level, but it's aiming for something similar, I think. I mean it even has the "turning into a blueberry" thing from Chocolate Factory as a sight gag.

I just realized both main characters' parents risk their lives to save their children, and succeed, but only one of them survives the experience -- which in turn informs both their kids' outlook on life. Some nice symmetry there.

Macaluso posted:Hey so I just started watching Trolls but I wanted to say something before I get too far into the movie and forget about it: Yeah it's incredibly deft about navigating the space between "making yourself miserable is bad, don't do that" and "yeah the world is completely hosed and wants to eat you."

About the only film in recent memory I can think of this would apply to is Maleficent, which I respect for the effort it made but didn't really pan out. e: I mean maybe if you include Pixar under the "Disney" umbrella.

Just do a feature-length adaptation of The Princess Who Kicked Butt. quote:“I won’t marry him,” said the princess, thinking it best to let her father know her position on the matter as soon as possible. quote:The royal hostler bowed as she said, “I need a horse.”

You know, I just realized: if you spend even 15 minutes thinking about what to title a movie about a (magical?) dog who plays rock music, "Doghouse Rock" should occur no later than halfway through that thought process. There might be something better that I didn't get to because I only thought about it for five. e: I guess Clifford the Big Red Dog beat them to it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRZC71NWV5c

Fangz posted:I might write some kind of screed about how the only interesting thing in Titan AE is that the story revolves around the necessity of genocide to create lebensraum for the human race, with the main enemy having attacked mankind precisely to pre-empt this in an act of self-defense. But then I might turn into SMG and that would be bad.

I haven't seen Inside Out yet but I'm with you on Big Hero 6. I'm biased though because, really, I cannot express how disappointed I was when it went from the setup for a movie about a kid finding himself through underground robot fights to a generic superhero teamup.

Pick posted:Animation cels are art and priced accordingly. Some of Ray Bradbury's old cels are being sold at the moment, including a weird number from Charlotte's Web. No I get that, it's just that there's very little collectible art that inspires that reaction in me. Like the only decoration I've put up in my room all through college and grad school is a newspaper ad for a Blue Oyster Cult concert; nothing else has struck my fancy. (Entirely by coincidence, the poster is also of a skeleton. )

I am genuinely envious of anyone who owns a Hexxus cel. Also KyoAni is habitually gross about sexual harassment-based humor even when they're not doing anything worse. Tuxedo Catfish fucked around with this message at 04:06 on Mar 7, 2017 |

Pick posted:I was curious about Quetzlcoatl because I love Mesoamerican myth, and was wondering what anime would do with it (and trying to figure out what the snake form was since it's impossible to tell in that gif). As it happens, they made her a woman with big boobs who is summoned by an 11 year old named "Shota" who thinks she's a succubus because she's so sexy?? It isn't, ADTRW just has poo poo taste. The actual good anime this season is ACCA, a slow-moving show about a mid-level bureaucrat who gets caught up in a conspiracy.
