It's still 2016 and it's still the holidays so I can still post Santa Clawhauser and you can't tell me I can't.

I like the humor in Zootopia, it feels consistent and appropriate.

21 Muns posted:It's definitely one of those movies that, though ostensibly targeted at kids and though a kid could conceivably really enjoy it, an adult with good taste is definitely going to like it a lot more than a kid with good taste. It's nice because it plays well in both directions - a kid is going to get a lot from it, and then when they grow up they're going to get even more, so it kind of grows up with you.

Kubo was probably also too dark, weird, and confusing both tonally and storywise for major audiences.

K. Waste posted:Kubo is very strong thematically, it's just that its conclusion is necessarily provocative rather than comforting. The point is that the plucky boy hero replaces his imperfect family with 'paper dolls,' but unlike James & the Giant Peach, there's very little attempt at sublimation. Too bad the rest of the film feels so kludged together.

The movie's biggest problem is that it's ugly as gently caress.

K. Waste posted:I'm actually confident that the exact opposite would be the case: If Zootopia were by a 'no-name studio,' whatever that is, it would not actually appear to be that much of an improvement over Home and Madagascar 3 and Kung Fu Panda 3. On the other hand, folks would be more critical of it in the same way they're critical of Kubo. Assuming it was literally the same movie and not cheaper and crappier, nah, it's still better.

I was watching it while babysitting my kid brother and he was amusingly subdued during it. Usually he's like a monkey when watching movies but he just kinda sat there, slack-jawed. It's like it numbed him.

Well, yes. Though I was really impressed by Trolls's overall aesthetic. They were basically cribbing from Little Big Planet and Aardman but it was refreshingly idiosyncratic.

I love that it makes him ungainly and slightly grotesque to really emphasize the damaging effects of his greed. I can only imagine how gorgeous all those swaying, glittering chains would've looked fully rendered and in motion.

K. Waste posted:To me, that's not a bug, it's a feature. The subtly revolting qualities of the animation in Bluth's films is made all the more provocative because of how reactionary his films tend to be. His works - especially his early ones - have a phantasmagoric quality that (seemingly on a conscious level) harkens back to the Disney golden age. It's like the scary porn people who masturbate too much watch because nothing else gets them off anymore, but for kids.

Drifter posted:Haha holy poo poo, this is from the bat movie branched off from Anastasia, right? God drat that's horrific. Which Don Bluth directed, surprise. I do like his sense of the threateningly grotesque, particularly in Thumbelina. There's an artful, hallucinogenic quality to mediocre animated films from the 70s and 80s that's missing in a lot of today's subpar kid's animation, which trends towards suffocatingly corporate CGI.

It's a literal representation of the phrase "tongues are wagging".SolarFire2 posted:I always associate Bluth animation with a lot of excessive nodding while speaking. Everyone's constantly moving. I know it's to combat cheap-looking "frozen body talking head" animation but it's like riding a tiny boat through choppy water, it makes your head spin.

K. Waste posted:By "golden age" I meant stuff like Bambi, Fantasia, Pinocchio - you know, the ones where really horrific/surreal poo poo happens. Bluth's aesthetics is just the wedding of classic Disney hyperrealism to modern scandal and obscenity. He's like Ralph Bakshi with a Protestant work ethic and no satire. Bluth's more fetishistic stuff lines up better with Ub Iwerks and Famous Studios, where cloying sentimentality abuts violent caricature.

Titan AE is great, my dad and I used to watch it all the time. I think Atlantis and Treasure Planet are just coincidental, throwback adventure stories were in at the time, though there was probably a lot of information being smuggled back and forth between the animation companies. Speaking of shorts, it's from 2012 but this Gobelins short my husband linked me last night is one of the best things I've seen in a while: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84-wV0eEnRs
