Somehow animation is the only category I’m all that invested in this year, and this definitely deserves it. It’s frustrating that Disney/Pixar just kind of wins every year. I mean, yeah, they make good movies...but who’s actually doing something interesting or challenging or valuable with animation as a medium? I’m sure Incredibles 2 is good, but how is it different than the dozen or so highly-budgeted CG features they’ve made before? Not to poo poo on Coco, which is a great and really touching movie. But Loving Vincent hand-painted every goddamn frame in the style of Van Gogh; it’s incredible. Zootopia (yes it’s not Pixar) was fun and well-made, but Kubo was a painstaking, beautiful movie with unbelievable stop-motion. It’s odd to me that a body like the Academy, that’s so opposed to live-action commercial poo poo winning awards for artistry, so consistently defaults to the biggest, most commercial animated output from the largest and most profitable name in that space every year. (Isle of Dogs has a pretty good chance, too, I guess...I’d be fine with that. But for real, Spiderverse kicks rear end.) Xealot fucked around with this message at 08:05 on Jan 25, 2019 |
