The Ducktales movie was probably the best dtv movie (or was it theatrical?).

i think that was my only exposure to Duck Tales growing up. We somehow didn't get the Disney Channel on basic cable until 2007

Does anyone know the backstory of how Miyazaki got his Oscar? Because it seems like a real aberration. Did Lilo & Stitch alienate the judges or something?

it was the second ever Best Animated Feature winner. maybe the Academy was different before it became "Best Disney Movie" at the turn of the decade? :shrug:

I want Piper to win the short and Zootopia for best animated feature. Full disclosure though; I haven't yet seen My Life as a Zucchini or The Red Turtle.

The academy obviously has their own criteria, but looking specifically at animation aesthetics it's hard to top Zootopia for me.


the criteria for the academy voters for these movies is "did my kid see this", so there's really nothing to worry about with zootopia winning

I'm not terribly enthused with the Oscar wins. Not because I think any of the film's were bad, but because the predictability reminds me the Oscars wound up being Hollywood patting itself on the bad for films that remind them of themselves. I didn't have to watch them to know Zootopia would win because A) It's a homegrown film by their friends and B) The added benefit of making it appear like they care about racism. Meanwhile in reality, Hollywood's making a big show about having a record SIX (woooaaah) black actors nominated.

Again, I know it's really not Zootopia's fault. I'm just reminded, "Oh, yeah. This is about hollow posturing." I'm a Debbie Downer. :(

This is how I feel. It was always pretty much down to Zootopia or Moana (Which bugs me. Disney should earnestly be limited to 1), and one of them allows the academy to feign concern about racism. It was always the guaranteed pick. The only earnest surprise was that they didn't go for La La Land.

It's not an unfair sentiment, but it's a bit odd to complain about it now because the Animation Oscar has been consistently awarded to the "safe" option since its inception. Underdogs pretty much never win in this category, so I don't know why anyone would have expected a different outcome this time around.

The first two years of the animated feature Oscar are really interesting. Shrek beat Monster's Inc., and Spirited Away won over Lilo & Stitch. After that though, outside of 3 outliers, it's all been Disney/Pixar movies.

The best animated film of 1995 is Ghost in the Shell and 1997 is End of Evangelion (or Perfect Blue!). :colbert:

The interesting thing is, imo, that for the first half of the 90s, animated films were kind of a wasteland outside of Disney/Ghibli

I don't know if it can be worse than another friend insisting on taking me to Alvin & the Chipmunks.
So is this just a thing for me, or does everyone else have otherwise good friends with tremendously bad taste in movies who thrust them upon you as a test of friendship? Who got dragged to Norm of the North?

for animated movies, my friends refer either to me or another artist/animator friend if a animated film looks any decent, so we've never been drug to Norm of the North or Bee Movie or anything like that.

they have other shows they can air in repeats all along the right hand side except the bottom two since they haven't aired, like Steven Universe, Adventure Time, Uncle Grandpa, Regular Show and Clarence that's what's so insane about this :psypop:

Are those other shows more serial than the shows that actually get aired?

Steven Universe and Adventure Time (at least up through season 5, where I'm at) are loosely serial. Sometimes there's a season goal or a multi-part episode, but they can typically be aired out of order. Uncle Grandpa isn't at all. Regular show I have no idea, as I'm only at two; it looks like it's not serial until the last season.


Also these shows have really huge seasons like 26-52 episodes per season. It's real weird there's no repeats from them. maybe there's some weirdo corporate thing or something :shrug:

If End of Evangelion didn't have a 26 episode series that should be watched first, I would put that on there as a good movie.

I don't mind simple, but I could never quite understand why MLP specifically. My niece watches Doc McStuffins, Paw Patrol and Carebears and they're all very simple, wholesome shows, but for some reason no one latched onto those. I sincerely just don't understand why MLP.
And I can literally watch a kid tie her hair up in a ponytail in Ghibli animation and be enthralled by its finesse. That's some god tier 2D there.

I think it's due to Lauren Faust's involvement at the start.

It's what some of my animator friends were telling me to try to sell me on it :shrug:

I'm not surprised considering that its been pushed back a few times since its announcement. Now we get to guess what sequel/spinoff they're going to hastily push into production. I think it will be the Porg movie, with an Olaf short attached to it.

The "short" will be a full hour and be two thirds of the run time of the Porg movie
