ImpAtom posted:Zootopia was pretty much the tops of animated this year but it was overall a strong year with a lot of great films. ... but let's not forget it also gave us Norm of the North, Ratchet & Clank, The Angry Birds Movie, Batman: The Killing Joke, Sausage Party and The Wild Life.

Haledjian posted:e - I think they did have some B-team work when the movie came out, but I'd assume they still got paid more than whoever photoshopped the beard on Clawhauser. Sing managed to pump out 30 seconds of new animation for a Happy Meals ad which was probably commissioned months before the film came out but I'm also guessing that McDonalds fronted a bunch of the cash for it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-GGGzHed64 But it's still bizarre that a movie like Zootopia which made a billion dollars at the box office and is pretty much as toyetic as it's possible to be just didn't seem to have anything extra put towards the advertising budget.

Don't forget that the co-producer of Shrek tried to double down on the fairytale pastiche in 2007 with this stinker https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUkHirP4ztA 2007 also gave us that weird Beowulf film https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaShOr5AeKA It was also the year we got The Simpsons Movie and TMNT which were decent attempts but ultimately forgettable plus Meet the Robinsons which was actually pretty good. It was an odd year for animation.

Corek posted:DANCE PARTY The article says "it has roots as diverse as old-timey movie musicals and beach blanket movies of the ’60s" but there's at least one example from the 40s. A hosed up racist example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdfUIaAJy48 It was also something of a fad in the late 80s. Saturday Night Live used to end a bunch of their sketches with a Lambada dance party when they couldn't think of any other way to end them and movies like Caddyshack also ended with dance parties, which is pretty much what that Simpsons episode was referencing since Rodney Dangerfield was in both.

Egbert Souse posted:The live-action remakes sometimes make sense like The Jungle Book, Beauty and the Beast, and Cinderella. Not to mention that there were live-action versions before Disney's anyways. Disney have been trying to find new ways to monetize their back catalogue for decades and they remade a whole bunch of their films in the 90s, including some live action remakes of animated films: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBAku3Cwsgk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rm-ujO_yESE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DLNNaHfJjU A live action musical Pinocchio remake starring Drew Carey and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, what the actual gently caress???  Edit: no really, check this poo poo out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1los3Jz7lwU They'll undoubtedly get around to making live action remakes all their other classic animated films in time now that the technology has made it viable. Some of their remakes of live action films were pretty ridiculous. They remade Freaky Friday twice (in 1995 and 2003) as well as The Shaggy Dog (in 1994 and 2006) and even pumped out this awful remake of That Darn Cat! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8toVzV1zNVc Snowglobe of Doom fucked around with this message at 04:29 on Jan 13, 2017 |

Fangz posted:Right, but the point is that the grand arc of a lot of Japanese media can be read as 'it sucks to lose wars', especially when paired with pro-war media that supposes WWII is redone with some particular advantage for Japan that ensures they win this time round. This is a weirdly racist method of forcing an interpretation onto an individual film. "Sure this film itself doesn't carry that message but you know what the Japanese are like (wink wink)" (The post itself may not have been openly racist but I'm choosing to interpret it within the grand arc of internet forum posting.)

Emma Watson is still really popular, the CGI looks just fine to most people who aren't animation nerds and the original animated Disney film is still so massively popular that people are more than willing to go see an 'updated' version. Also people loved the live action/CGI Jungle Book in 2016 so they've got high expectations for the next Disney live action/CGI adaptation.

Haledjian posted:I don't think it's an unfounded criticism, but it's a little overstated--Pixar has 13 feature films, not counting sequels. Disney has well over 30 2D-animated movies (many of which look super similar to each other) so it's easy to pick out the outliers. The "samey" 3D Disney movies number maybe 6 or 7. So there's going to be plenty of time and opportunity for them to diversify their art direction. The other factor is that Disney is pushing the Disney Princess brand pretty hard so all their new princesses are going to get crammed together with their older characters on merchandise forever and ever so they need to be stylistically compatible with Sleeping Beauty and Snow White and all the rest. Of course the non-Princess movies don't have that excuse ...

21 Muns posted:Argument kind of falls apart though given that all of the bulls in the movie have udders. Someone did an article about it an actually asked the director and his answer was that he thinks udders are funny and he didn't put any more thought into it: quote:The people at Nickelodeon Movies thought they'd made a nice little kids' cartoon. "Barnyard" was this fun, wacky story about farm animals who stand up on their hind legs and talk when the farmer isn't looking. ... but a whole bunch of people at the studio must have said something. I can't believe that Oedekerk made that decision on the fly and everyone else just accepted it without comment. On the other hand if there really was a 'controversy' like this article claims then I can see Oedekerk deflecting further questions by saying "We did it for the lulz, idk???" rather than explaining his actual decision process.

Barudak posted:Isnt it still projecting to be the biggest movie of the year? It's making a loving ridiculous amount of money. BatB had the 7th biggest domestic opening of all time and the biggest March opening ever (beating Batman v Superman's previous record) and its day 4 domestic total is actually bigger than Star Wars:Rogue One's day 4 total but there's no way it'll outperform the upcoming Star Wars movie. For comparison, Star Wars: The Force Awakens' day 4 domestic total was exactly $100 million higher than BatB.

Correction: they just got the BO actuals and it's actually the 6th biggest domestic opening of all time, pushing Iron Man 3 down a rank. It came really close to taking the 5th spot. Of course this means that we'll now get LIVE ACTION DISNEY REMAKES FOR THE REST OF TIME.

Xibanya posted:I don't see how the story of The Lion King is better served in live action. The Jungle Book 2016 fell just shy of making a billion dollars worldwide and Beauty and the Beast 2017 is already up to $700m after only 11 days. They're making roughly as much money as most of the Marvel and Pirates of the Caribbean movies but cost way less. If anyone at Disney dared to say "Yeah but live action doesn't really serve the story, maybe we should reconsider?" they'd be taken out the back and shot in the face.

It's hard to tell what Vasquez has been up to because a lot of the stuff on his Wikipedia page sounds completely fictionalquote:Vasquez collaborated with Crab Scrambly to produce the storybook Everything Can Be Beaten, published by Slave Labor in 2002. Vasquez, credited as Chancre Scolex, wrote the story and Crab Scrambly illustrated it. Everything Can Be Beaten is about a strange person who lives in a room in which he can do nothing but beat kittens. However, an adventure into the outside world changes his perspective, and he discovers that "everything can be beaten". Yeah sure that happened.
