Animation fans visiting Japan really should check out Akihabara, even if just to get an impression of what it's like to live in a society that places a really high value on animaiton and its cultural impact. This poo poo is crazy:quote:The influence of otaku culture has shaped Akihabara's businesses and buildings to reflect the interests of otaku and gained the district worldwide fame for its distinctive imagery. Akihabara tries to create an atmosphere as close as possible to the game and anime worlds of customers' interest. The streets of Akihabara are covered with anime and manga icons, and cosplayers line the sidewalks handing out advertisements, especially for maid cafés.  If that's not enough manga/anime for you then there's also Tokyo Character Street in Tokyo Station, Nakano Broadway and a bunch of other places.

Fans of The Last Unicorn should be aware that author Peter S Beagle was massively hosed over by his manager (who even tried to get him declared mentally incompetent so he could power of attorney over his affairs) and is currently fighting a huge legal battle to get control of his works back but in the meantime is so poor that he's even struggling to afford groceries. There's links here if you'd like to help.

The live action Beauty and the Beast film is still raking in cash and is just a tad over $1.2 billion worldwide and a tad short of $500 million domestic. That makes it the 8th biggest domestic film of all time and the 11th biggest film worldwide (unadjusted).

Things like that close-up shot on the Rescue Aid Society's founder, as if that was a gag I was supposed to be laughing at that fell totally flat More of a reference than a gag, I guess ... quote:Euripides is identified with theatrical innovations that have profoundly influenced drama down to modern times, especially in the representation of traditional, mythical heroes as ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances. The tapestry showing him bandaging a lion's paw is of course a reference to Aesop's fable about the mouse and the lion. Snowglobe of Doom fucked around with this message at 17:22 on May 21, 2017 |

21 Muns posted:IIRC, The Rescuers was originally supposed to exist in a shared universe with 101 Dalmatians, with the villain literally being Cruella DeVille, but they nixed it because they weren't sure if the public would really get the "shared universe" concept. It was also supposed to get a TV series but when the second film was announced they morphed it into Chip And Dale Rescue Rangers instead, bringing in the chipmunk characters and giving them clothing. Chip's clothes were clearly modelled on Indiana Jones and Dale got a Hawaiin shirt as a nod to Magnum PI. ThermoPhysical posted:Actually, I think it's the scene where Maleficent's wings are cut off and she wakes up and screams about her wings being gone. Then everyone who worked on the movie admitted that was supposed to represent her being raped as she loved and trusted the person who removed her wings without consent. Oh that's right, the other roofie scene.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:He turns her into a sex slave by reprogramming her butt. Back to Starchaser: The Legend of Orin chat!! I stumbled onto an interview with the producer/director and the screenwriter where they go over the film's creation and all that but also mention that they're working hard on cleaning up the film for a blu-ray release as well as developing a live action adaptation. Yeah that'll sell real well, everyone's crying out for more Starchaser guys.  The interviewer specifically asks about the butt reprogramming scene: quote:TR: There are some surprisingly mature elements to Starchaser, particularly in regards to sexuality and violence. For a PG animated film, it pushes boundaries, especially in the scene where Silica, the female robot, is reprogrammed through her butt. Was this something you purposefully set out to do in the script?

My first thought was "Huh, I would have thought the list would be a lot longer." My second thought was "Boss Baby 2? Surely it's a bit premature to announce that" so I checked how well it did and it turns out it's close to half a billion worldwide. I hope you enjoy being bombarded with trailers for Boss Baby movies because they're gonna be pumping out sequels for a long, long time!

Shadow Hog posted:the grid either sort of zoomed in from the distance to where you see it now, or it started from nothing but gradually stretched its length outward from behind the screen toward the distance (think Star Wars lightspeed, but in reverse - instead of the stars in the distance stretching toward the camera before the takeoff, the grid here was stretching from behind the camera toward the perspective point). Well of course, if the grid went the other way that would be ludicrous.

Larryb posted:It is kind of odd though, why didn't they ever do their own version of Fellowship and/or Two Towers? Bakshi's film covering those two books had come out just two years before and they pretty much jumped in to finish off the story after Bakshi made it clear he wasn't going to do it himself. Rankin-Bass also went out of business not that long after. Also I get the picture that the animation industry at the end of the 80s was a fair bit different than at the start of the 80s so if anyone had gone back and made another animated LOTR film it would probably have looked totally different. Maxwell Lord posted:The Rankin-Bass Hobbit is really good- the style of animation works really well, there's a solid voice cast, and the songs (mostly from Tolkien, though I understand he had specific ideas for the melodies as well) fit into the story. Also someone went "Eh, there's way too many characters in this already, let's just dump these Gimli and Legolas losers completely" which was a lovely decision.

Okay, I just spent the last few days watching the first season of Avatar on this thread's recommendation and it was a bit up and down. There were some great episodes but some of the filler episodes just plain sucked (like the one where they had to help two enemy tribes cross a valley eurgh). I'm currently trying to watch the live action movie and oh my god it's hard going, they just hosed it up so much.

Jeeeesus christ that film was bad, and there's just so many elements of it that were mishandled. Characterization alone was just appallingly terrible, they never let them establish their personalities (except sometimes via exposition!) and never gave them a chance to breath and interact so it was pretty much impossible for the audience to get to know them and actually give a poo poo about what happened to them. Some of the main characters don't have their defining traits from the TV series because the film didn't leave enough time to include them. For comparison, Aang is introduced 6 minutes into the film and he's already leaving the village on his adventure at the 11 minute mark. In A New Hope we don't even see Luke until 16 minutes in and he doesn't leave Tatooine until 52 minutes into the film. Regalingualius posted:I actually caught a few minutes of it while my sister was watching it. To be fair every movie in that film is the worst scene to come in on.

Okay I went and watched Batman: Mask of the Phantasm for the first time because of the recent discussion in this thread and ehhhh it was okay I guess? Watching a long episode of the classic animated series with an actual film score behind it was probably the best part about it. The Godzilla fight with the Joker in the scale model of Gotham was also great but sadly quite short. The plot was way too predictable, they gave themselves away when they showed that Andrea could kick Bruce's rear end with judo right at the start. Edit: spoilered in case anyone else hadn't seen it and was thinking of watching it.
