Yeah, I went in expecting a basic Freaky Friday plot (but anime!), but then time travel made its presence known about halfway in and poo poo got surprisingly real. Thanks for pushing me to go see that, drat.

I knew literally nothing about the plot or even premise -- like I hadn't read a single article about it, other than reviews that say "go see it", for all I knew it could have been about space mechs or whatever. It was a neat change of pace knowing absolutely nothing about a movie.

You know what two franchises I'd pay to see mashed together?
Tom & Jerry and Willy Wonka!

What's everybody's dream cel? What's the cel that's out there you dream of owning? Anybody? (Assuming you can't resell it for cash money)

Anything Robin from Robin Hood.

Or if I ever have a kid, anything from Watership Down so I can hang it over their crib and scar them for life.

When I was with my ex we had a few cels. I'm struggling to remember what, now, though. I'm fairly certain we had something of Mrs. Brisby from NIMH and then like three others we paid a lot of money for but obviously the others weren't memorable enough. While I liked the idea of cels, collecting them was mostly her thing. I'm much more interested in original sketches by artists. If I could get a zootopia sketch from one of the crew I would probably build a wall just to put that up.

I appreciate this film about cattes

I legitimately think this may have been the first movie I ever saw in theatres so it'll always have a fond place in my heart.

Despite not actually being very good.

I watched Spirited Away in theatres and that was A Good Movie so I'm all for more Miyazaki. I was very down on Anime for a long time but I recently pulled the stick out of my butt so I'm going to watch it once I actually find it. I don't have a BluRay player, it doesn't seem to be available digitally, and there's no way I'm buy a DVD in the year of our lord two thousand and seventeen.

I've been scoring through the various services I subbed to to see what fun anime I missed in the past twenty years of being a big snob and it turns out you're completely right.

There's a few really pretty looking shows and films that I'm burning through, though, and I'm sure I'll find other stuff I like as I keep going through.

If you like pretty shows I recommend Chihayafuru and Rakugo Shinjuu.

Thanks! I'm actually going through Rakyugo now and I'll check out Chihayafuru. Also watching Eccentric Family which is really pleasant just to look at.

Well since I can't watch Tororo and I couldn't find anything with big cats to satisfy demand, I found Boy and the Beast on Netflix and it seems pretty good so far.

1. Boy and the Beast was really fun.
2. The vaguely human pig man was very unsettling to look at.

Somehow I'm almost 30 and still coming to terms with the truth that, even if you get the original writers, director, actors and editors, the movie/show you loved so much will crumble before your eyes upon its return.

I learned this with Futurama and I'm not looking to really expand my disappointment :[

I missed out on the later Futurama seasons, how bad did it get?

I felt like the characters were just written as caricatures of themselves which I guess is a dumb thing to say about cartoon characters but whatever. Some say it was fine but to me it became an unwatchable mess about two seasons into the revival. Maybe it got better, I just couldn't give it a chance.

Probably an unpopular opinion but South Park.

King of the Hill, for sure though.

Hedrigall posted:

Early South Park is unwatchable now.

Later seasons have a really varied mix of legitimately great episodes (which could rank amongst the best comedy tv of all time let alone animation) and bad filler. It's too up and down to say there's any consistency of quality.

The latest season was irredeemably loving terrible.

I guess it's down to personal opinion. I give the first two seasons of anything a pass because it's trying to find its feet and while a lot of people hated the last few seasons I still tuned in and thought it was good.

If we're going to do the most consistent stretch of being good from start to end then I'll go with Futurama original run. There was literally not an episode in those four seasons I thought was bad or even sub-par, right from day one. I can't say that about any other animated show I can think of. The longest stretch of being consistently but good, but not necessarily from day one through to the end, probably goes to Simpsons for S3/4 through 8 or something, then if we're going to allow a few misses I'll put Bob's Burgers and King of the Hill in for honourable mention.

I'm keeping it to animated shows because we're in an animation thread because obviously any sane person would throw in It's Always Sunny :haw:

I don't want to cross-pollinate too much but this was shown at E3 and the aesthetic is absolutely amazing on first glance.

Hey, there's a festival over in Europe right now that's premiering some promising stuff!

I love the art style for "Big Bad Fox and Other Tales," a French 2D animated flick that looks like it's the follow-up to Ernest and Celestine - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G55ToR5lP6A


This looks adorable. Hope it shows up here with subs at some point.

I have nothing against dubs other than I can't remember the last dub of any movie I didn't cringe at. Actually it may have been Spirited Away in the theatre way back when.

Someone posted a translation in the comments as well and it got a laugh out of me:


Voice off screen: The audience is here! Hurry up!
Fox: Wait, I’m not readyyy- heheheh! Hello, dear audience! Tonight, we’re going to act out three plays!

[After Ernest and Célestine]
Fox: Ladies and gentlemen, here comes the Big Bad Fox! RAAAHHHH!
Hen: Ah, no! It’s the third time this week! That’s enough!
Fox: No but it- it’s because I’m hungry, actually...
Hen: I don’t care!

[The Big Bad Fox]
Fox: And yet I did everything like you!
Wolf: Which means?
Fox: You know, the thing you do! AahhHh [coughs]
Wolf: Oh, this. [ROAAAR]
Fox: That’s it.

(Eggs hatch)
Fox: Dinner is served...
Chick: Mommy!
Fox: What do you mean, ‘mommy’? But- but I’m not a hen!

[And other tales...]
Fox: You are chicks! You must be afraid of me!
(Wolf howls)
Chick: What’s this cry, mommy?
Fox: Mister Wolf is slightly angry...!

Dog: Oh, shut up! Can’t you see I’m trying to save your life!
Fox: [screams]
Dog: W- well, I tried.

Hen: Your chicks tried to bite some of their little classmates!
Other hen: And they attempted to eat Michel!
Michel: Hello ma’am!

Duck: What if we tried being responsible adults from now on?
(SCREAMING)

Little dog: Look Dad! They’re flying!
Dog: Yeah, well... Right now they’re mostly falling, though!

Fox (off screen): Enough with the silly, childish games!

Hen: Mommy is going to beat up the bad guy.

Hen: YAAAH!! … Was it good?
Fox: Excellent.

[The Big Bad Fox and Other Tales...]
Michel: Hello everyone, did you like the show?
Fox: Michel! Can somebody come and get Michel?!
Wolf: Er, I can take care of it if you want. It doesn’t bother me at all.
Fox: No it’s okay- hop, here, look, he’s gone!
