You really should, the whole movie is like that.

The humor in Trolls is surprisingly dark and morbid, yet never cynical. I'm having trouble thinking of something else to compare it to.

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.

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:

I really like that they showed the Bergen stuff FIRST so that when you get the scene with Branch and Poppy at the beginning you don't immediately side with Poppy because Branch is being to negative. You are shown first thing in the movie the threat the Trolls face, and Branch is totally right to worry about the village making so much noise the Bergen find them. Usually in these movies they'd have Poppy be shown as 100% normal and cool and Branch as 100% crazy. But instead the way Trolls handles it you can easily see Branch's point of view amongst all the happy trolls

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."

Disney works have been fairly risky in terms of writing, though.

You're kidding, right? 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.

Goddammit that poster is amazing.

I can't decide if I'd want her to be a kick-rear end tomboy who loves to rumble, or a straight up stereotypical "girly" princess who also kick tons of rear end to have the message that you can in fact like "girly" girl things and still be rad as gently caress and kick rear end. Most media tends to go one way or the other, they're either all tomboy or all girly. And there's so much stuff that has a girl liking pink things and the message is "DON'T LIKE PINK THINGS."

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.

The queen turned to her. “Oh, my poor darling, how cruel of this enchanter! People will suffer, no matter how you choose!”

“It’s kind of you to notice,” said the Evil Enchanter.

quote:

The royal hostler bowed as she said, “I need a horse.”

“Of course.” He gestured toward a lean midnight black mare. “This is Arrives Yesterday, the fastest horse in the land.”

“Won’t do,” said the princess.

“Of course not,” said the royal hostler, stepping to the next stall, which held a broad-shouldered golden stallion. “This is Carries All, the sturdiest horse in the land.”

“Won’t do,” said the princess. She stepped to the next stall, which held a wiry horse with black and white splotches on its gray hide. “And this?”

The hostler swallowed and said, “This is Hates Everything, the angriest horse in the land.”

“Perfect,” said the princess. And before the hostler could say another word, she saddled Hates Everything and rode out.

Teagone, is the cute brown monster a main character or at the very least does he or she appear in most episodes? If they do, I kind of want to watch Trollhunters now. The blue guy with the sword is also cool.

He's part of the main cast and has shown up in every episode I've seen, although I'm only up to four.

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.

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.

Clip of the song "Gaston" from Beast '17

It's.... not very rousing.

I like some of the ideas that went into this -- LaFou having to poke and prompt the other singers into their lines, and Gaston coming off a little more like a dandy than a brute is something you could make work even if it's a bit of a departure -- but yeah, as a whole, it's not doing much for me.

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. :yohoho: )

Also KyoAni is habitually gross about sexual harassment-based humor even when they're not doing anything worse.

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??

This is one of the "good anime" this season????

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.
