The proportions on the face are inverted. Instead of no eyes and all grin (like a crocodile, as the song says) the little Grinch is all eyes and no mouth.

I was reminded of one of my favorite cartoon shorts earlier today, and I think some of you here would appreciate it. Rarg, created by Tony Collingwood in 1989, features Nigel Hawthorne as a narrator, music by London Symphony Orchestra, and (in my opinion) the ideal amount of strangeness. It's available in good quality here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IP_f-klArPs But you should also make a point to watch the excellent prologue and epilogue provided by James Earl Jones, in the PBS Long Ago and Far Away version, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUApquYVH0E

Waffleman brought up Ponyo a few posts ago, and you couldn't do much better if you wanted a modern animated feature that contrasts with the Pixar style of literalism.

LORD OF BOOTY posted:again: you do realize "Poopypants" is not a traditional name in any actual language or culture, right? it has literally no other meaning beyond being a poop joke. you are way, way, way, way overthinking a really dumb scatological joke. If the movie goes out of it's way to establish the fact that it's a common name in a foreign country, then it literally does have another meaning in the context of the film.

21 Muns posted:IMO "empathizing with parents" who are trying to do their kids' homework for them is actually the shittiest part of this whole thing. The methods Common Core teaches are good, but a seriously underrated advantage to them is that the parents don't know how to do them and so they can't help. Surprise! Your kids actually have to learn how to do math on their own! They actually have to pay attention in class! Wealthy parents acting as unpaid tutors for their kids is a huge contributing factor to intergenerational poverty; it's a really easy-to-underestimate effect. Changing the methods that are taught gives the edge to kids who understand the lessons in class, and takes away the edge from kids who slack off and need their parents to explain things to them later. It's actually really clever but they probably couldn't get away with saying it because about half the country hates the poor. So children who need help learning math should have one of the most widely available and most beneficial sources of that help confounded -- to stick it to the wealthy? Can you walk me though your train of thought here?

Das Boo posted:I always figured it was Hanna-Barbera and the rise of cheap TV animation. The Disney features and animated theatrical shorts were for general audiences. Hanna-Barbera started out on the same note, but eventually dipped into child-focused marketing and because they were making large profits on cheap work, others followed suit. Maximize profit, minimalize effort. Artistic integrity is a needless expense. smdh at this casual dismissal of Yo Yogi!'s artistry

Shadow Hog posted:Therefore, the film's ambitions to tackle the subject of various prejudices in human society (albeit not any specific ones) is thoroughly undermined, since the film is also stating that those prejudices had basis in truth at some point long ago, which is sort of the exact opposite thing you want to do with a subject like that, as it just justifies the bigots holding those prejudices. I don't think this is necessarily true at all. Racism would still be wrong even if the prejudices has some basis in fact.

There wasn't any "massive change." For all that it's good and proper he's gone, Lasseter is just one person.

If a piece of fan art is in a commercial work then it's too late to wonder about if fan art should or should not be commercialized. We're clearly past that point.

I don't know if it'd be the most technically exquisite animated film, but Disney's Sleeping Beauty is certainly drat exceptional.

Wheat Loaf posted:I never really got into Land Before Time. I'm not sure why because like most children, I was mad keen on dinosaurs when I was little. Land Before Time does hold up, but watching it as an adult, it's real obvious where parts were cut from the film.

LeJackal posted:Charlie is very charming, likable, and charismatic when he is out to get something and that kind of subtle narcissism isn't something you often see in a protagonist - but it is something we often see in children. I hadn't considered that before, but that's a keen observation. As someone who saw All Dog's quite a few times as a kid, I can attest that Charlie being a bad person completely went over my head for a long time. Charlie's affable and fun loving, buys food for the poor, befriends a poor orphan girl, and stands in contrast to the transparently vicious and treacherous Carface. Running a casino and fixing races are all "adult" crimes, and the way he exploits Anne-Marie is complicated as well -- as it's less a crime of active maliciousness than a failure to do good. So from my young point of view, Charlie was a good guy who liked to have fun and help people out who only ever really got in trouble because he broke an arbitrary rule. Compare, "don't rewind your watch, because you'll get in trouble if you do," with "don't eat cookies after dinner, because I'm your father and I said so." It's only as an adult that it becomes apparent that Charlie is actually a terrible son-of-a-bitch that'll make a buck at anyone's expense, but even then there's still a sort of tension to his character. His sort of animal hedonism is destructive, but it's appealing. He wants evil things, but the movie doesn't hide that those things are desirable. And as many bad things as he's shown to have done, he's (evidently) not irredeemable.
