Shadow Hog posted:At least Wreck-It Ralph! 2 seems to be done by WDAS proper instead of the DTV guys? Is there even a difference nowadays? They seem to get the same budgets and put out pretty remarkably similar work (see: the Planes movies, which are garbage but look on-par with WDAS' stuff if not slightly better than some of it).

Like honestly if I'd heard that Frozen was by DisneyToon and Planes was WDAS, I would have 100% believed it. The two studios seem basically indistinguishable beyond what they're put to work on.

ThePlague-Daemon posted:It's also more violent than I remembered, and I remembered it being pretty violent. I'm surprised it's only PG-13, but I'm guessing that was Disney's influence. You can get away with more in animation. The first Rebuild of Evangelion movie also got a PG-13 and is brutal as gently caress, and even has a quick boob flash in it.

Shadow Hog posted:From what I read, one of his bigger regrets is not being able to take the role of Jafar, because TNG kept him too busy. I definitely associate Jafar with his given voice, but Patrick Stewart would have made a loving awesome Jafar. I'm basically just imagining a somewhat toned-down version of his performance in Green Room.

Pick posted:My complaint is more with backgrounds, for example, than female character design in isolation. You can only really tell if a setting is from Frozen or Moana based on what it literally is (e.g. tropical beaches or snow). you're also comparing 2D animated movies made across a way longer period of time with CG movies made 2 years apart from each other that probably have a huge proportion of shared animators. comparing Dumbo to Pinocchio would be a little more fair, and you'd find a lot more similarity between those two (for example).

CRINDY posted:It'll probably be on the level of the other recent Reel FX films, Book of Life and Free Birds. That's... that's a pretty big gap in quality, though. Book of Life was solid, and only really hampered by the live-action stuff, whereas Free Birds was really bad. e: Also the Ratchet and Clank movie is kinda decent, actually. It's kind of a case where they made the best adaptation they could of the source material, it's just that nobody was asking them to adapt it. I really think that if it had come out as an original IP, instead of being based on a video game, it might have still bombed (because an action-y kids movie is always a gamble, they'd usually rather see the grown-up action movies and in the age of PG-13 they usually can) but it would have probably done a lot better with critics.

So, out of curiosity since the movie came up earlier: has anyone tried to get the uncut version of Land Before Time released, or is it just sitting there in Bluth's vault still? (For anyone who's not aware, the movie had 11 minutes hacked out of it before release for varying reasons. You can find a breakdown of the edits pretty easily if you look, and while a couple of them are fair enough, the changes to the ending are absolutely bizarre, as are a few of the other excisions earlier in the movie.)

icantfindaname posted:an prominent auteur anime director with a very avant-garde style who's also a major pedo even by anime standards. his style's not even particularly interesting or appealing IMO I agree that Imaishi is probably better but I don't think Shinbo is actually a pedo? The Monogatari series is horrible because NisioisiN, the writer of the books, is a huge pedo, but as far as I know everything Shinbo's done without his involvement has been fine (Madoka didn't have any pedo poo poo at all and I don't remember there being any in Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei).

Fangz posted:Erm, Zetsubo Sensei, and even Madoka, have plenty of questionable poo poo if you object to that. It's been years since I've seen the former so I'm going off memory. I'm willing to believe you, but I really don't remember anything horrible in it. And Madoka is almost entirely non-objectionable. Even the "graphic violence" is... literally two short scenes in the entire run, one of which is mostly offscreen and the other of which is in silhouette. I also don't have the first clue what "bondage shot" is in the OP. e: that said, nobody was putting it forth as especially family-friendly, either; it's a 12 in the UK and that sounds about right. I just sort of take issue with the idea that it's directed by a pedophile, because if anything, it almost seems the polar opposite given how non-sexual of a show it is.

Sort of tangential to the discussion, but... is it just me or is there kind of a weird double standard with anime vs. other media? Like, the #1 TV show in America is Game of Thrones, which is basically a hair away from being rape porn. And yet I don't see anyone saying we deserve another 9/11 or Pearl Harbor for making a loving bad TV show. Meanwhile, Your Name having a boob joke in it, despite the movie being innocuous enough to earn a PG rating, makes it completely and utterly irredeemable and evidence that the Japanese are culturally inferior. Like, does this not strike anyone else as extremely loving weird? Am I the actual weird one here for not being absurdly grossed out whenever something from Japan brushes up against the topic of sex?

surf rock posted:Went to see Your Name and enjoyed it. I didn't know anything about the plot except the body-swapping thing, so I was pretty surprised about where the story went. There are some moments I wish weren't in the film (like the third/fourth/fifth boob-grab or the panty shot), but it seemed like a solid story and the visuals were beautiful. Belladonna of Sadness.

Renoistic posted:I could only watch the first episodes of the new FMA and Hellsing series. Having the characters randomly turn SD and spout stupid jokes just kills any appeal the shows might have. The original shows, rough as they may be, at least stay fairly consistent throughout. It would be like if Ghost in The Shell had the major turn SD randomly to say something wacky - just because the manga did it doesn't mean it works in animation. I'll give you FMA, but Hellsing is never really incredibly serious even in its "normal" bits; I mean, keep in mind it's a show about John Woo Dracula and a big titty lady with an anti-aircraft gun fighting cyborg Nazi zombies. The OVA has pretty much the perfect tone for the material, and going ultra-serious was an extremely bad call for the TV anime.

Also, reminder that the Nazi stuff in FMA 2003 is pro-Nazi. the writer of 2003 actually is a nutbag right-winger who is also known for the OVA Angel Cop, in which the villains are an international Jewish conspiracy.

I mean, they're exactly what you expect them to be. They're cute but I'd be sincerely shocked if the movie expects the viewer to have read them, given the series' heyday was when I was in elementary school and I'm 23.

DC Murderverse posted:I'd say it will happen when Lebron finally retires but since that dude is basically a cyborg incapable of aging, he'll probably still playing when his son gets drafted. James Harden, Stephen Curry, and Kevin Durant could also probably carry it. If we're including retired players, Yao Ming could do it (and it would also ensure the Chinese box office), or I wouldn't be surprised to see Kobe do it to try and fix his image. e: also the most obvious retired player of all for this would be Barkley, though I feel like the existence of Shut Up And Jam Gaiden would actively make the studio not want to do that ever, even putting aside that the man's in his fifties.

seriously, the scenario we all hope for (that the Animaniacs reboot will pretty much just pick up where the original left off, qualitywise) has about a one in a loving billion chance of happening it'll either be good, but completely unrecognizable and with an entirely different vibe and sense of humor (a la Teen Titans Go or MST3K) or it'll be straight up incredibly bad and not understand what made the original good at all (a la Samurai Jack or Powerpuff Girls)

starkebn posted:What are people's choices for the longest running show that was great the whole time? if we're just talking animated, Archer's been around a while and has only slightly dipped in quality (and the dips in quality are, in my opinion, made up for by those seasons being fairly experimental and doing rad poo poo with the format). e: also Samurai Jack s5 was good for 3 episodes and then nosedived off a cliff. those 3 episodes are legitimately fantastic, but as soon as the arc with the Daughters of Aku ends, the show just immediately has no idea what the gently caress to do with itself. it was never meant to have a serialized plotline, having one turbofucks what made the show good to begin with, and it wasn't a particularly good serialized plotline, either.

IUG posted:Did Archer start writing new jokes? I stopped watching in season 6 when Kenny Rogers showed up to play Danger Zone. That show had an ability to drive a joke into the ground. 1) if I remember correctly that was season 5, which was pretty much the weakest season so far (but still Pretty Okay) 2) you're thinking Loggins, not Rogers, Kenny Rogers is the Gambler guy 3) that bit was pretty much the end of the Danger Zone joke (I think they've mentioned it a grand total of once in three seasons since) and it owned

So I just saw Captain Underpants Pluses: - the animation is loving fantastic. like, this movie is worth seeing for the eye candy alone. - George and Harold are the most adorable kids in recent film history. - speaking of, the movie is super super ultra gay and completely unapologetic about it. - Ed Helms is absolutely hilarious as Mr. Krupp and the title character, and clearly had a ton of fun with both roles. Minuses: - TOILET HUMOR EVERYWHERE. this would seem obvious, but it's not really the presence of it that's the issue, it's the execution. when the movie's making a joke that isn't based on a bodily function, it's insanely clever; the movie gets some great mileage out of the duality between rear end in a top hat Krupp and dumb, nice giant kid CU, for example. but as soon as toilets or poop or what have you come up:  like the movie honestly thinks that just showing you a toilet or saying "poop" is the same as making an actual joke, and... no, it's not. at all. - honestly the movie suffers a lot from trying to hit the Standard Kids Movie Beats. there's several plot points that just... feel kind of useless (the whole thing with George and Harold getting separated goes basically nowhere and the movie even pretty much cops to this). overall I'd say it's worth seeing if you can put up with the toilet humor, but... not perfect, which sucks because it's so loving close.
