Spirited Away was the first Ghibli film I ever saw and I was totally blown away by it as a kid, but these days I'd rather watch any of the others in my collection. Visually it's gorgeous, I wish their older work was that detailed! But the story is just so... ehhh. Maybe it loses something in the dub. Probably. (I would say it's the most Japanese out of all of them, but I never saw the one about tanuki balls.) And it feels like it drags on for a year.

 That line is in the movie though? To which the Pagemaster replies "You are an illustration."it's me, I'm the idiot who enjoys the Pagemaster (though I certainly wouldn't put it on my top 10)

Oh man, I thought I was the only one. Mars Attacks can go gently caress itself. edit: Yeah, Terminator 2 was pretty terrifying as a kid too, but it was still a movie I would voluntarily watch, in a horrified fascination sort of way. Mars Attacks was just unpleasant on every level and I have had nightmares about those goddamn cows, man Squarely Circle fucked around with this message at 06:40 on May 4, 2017 |

How's the newer dub of Totoro? I've heard it's not as good as the one released under Fox (which is the one that I have on VHS) but is it just 'not as great' or is it like actively bad?

Hemingway To Go! posted:so I just saw GOG vol 2, which would normally be unrelated, except it shared Lego Batman's message that you don't need a traditional biological family. KFP2 did this too and I'm still salty about it, killed any interest I had in seeing the third one. I've heard it wasn't that great anyway.

The Little Mermaid is kind of ugly in general, IMO. I do enjoy it, but not for the way it looks. On the other hand, I watched The Fox and the Hound tonight and dang that film has some beautiful backgrounds (and is just super good overall).

Pick, I'm prepared to judge your taste in movies entirely on how you came by your current avatar. In actual animation-related talk... I've been thinking about picking up a copy of Prince of Egypt since the stores around here are kind of promoting it leading up to Easter and all. I haven't seen it since its original theater release, when I was like 8-9 and didn't really appreciate it because yawn, a bible movie but every screenshot and gif I've seen over the years is leading me to believe that it might actually be just about the prettiest 2D animated film in the world.

 Well, Walmart took down their Easter movie specials already, so no Prince of Egypt tonight sadly! I was looking forward to it, too.I also keep meaning to snag both the Rankin/Bass Easter specials on DVD at some point; I still have the old tapes I grew up with but one is more or less unwatchable without a way to adjust the tracking on my VCR. Someday! Those movies were my jam as a kid. That, and... can we talk about muppets/puppets in this thread (considering stop-motion is really just frame-by-frame puppetry?  ) Can we talk about how freakin' good The Tale of the Bunny Picnic is?

Neon Noodle posted:The Chuck Jones version of Mowgli's Brothers is very faithful. Yeah I remember that part in the book where Kipling described Tabaqui as being lime green, kind of a weird choice but I guess the dude did have some hangups about color. (don't forget The White Seal, that was a faithful adaptation too!) It's been a while since I watched it but I didn't care for new Jungle Book, it just felt really bland to me. Like they wanted to do straight up Kipling but they couldn't commit all the way so you're left with something that tries to be both serious and appealing to children and doesn't really have much to say for itself. The thing that makes the old Soviet animation so good (other than the fact that it's just fuckin gorgeous to watch) is that they didn't shy away from the source material and they didn't dumb the main character down. Mowgli in the books is a crafty little badass. Mowgli in the Disney versions is a clueless kid blundering his way through wacky animal adventures. Anyway, consider: Beemoji Movie

One thing I really love about the clock tower scene, visuals aside, is how tense it feels. There's very little dialogue, just music and the constant ticking and grinding of the gears. No more quips from Basil, no more hammy taunting from Ratigan, you know poo poo just got real. At some point in one of the previous threads I touched on the bear fight scene from Fox and the Hound which I also think is pretty much flawless, and they're pretty similar now that I think about it, being so effective at conveying the tension and terror of fighting for your life in few or no words. Good stuff. Good films. Dark Ages Disney my rear end.
