nankeen posted:i really am sorry for bringing the topic of the shoah into this light-hearted thread like i did, i know there are other posters here with similar history who just want somewhere to talk cartoons and am so sorry for shattering the mood. i was (incredibly) unaware of bakshi as an artist, the content and the context of his work, and knowing that i'd probably liveblog the thing itt in my own irritating way i tried to choose the film that, from its wikipedia summary, sounded least loaded. please understand i was posting in real time and actually don't have anybody nearby to talk to about this very specific topic irl so just offloaded emotionally on the forums as i am wont to do. i promise not to do it again in this thread, it's not the place for it. i might talk bakshi, but will keep it light. I think unless you know that the movie was deliberately about the holocaust, the Nazis in the film just come across as being in there to just emphasize how evil the villains are. Nazis have come to represent people who are unambiguously evil.

Ccs posted:Yup! That documentary was made by the filmmaker responsible for the “Recobbled Cut”. It’s watchable but not a good film, because Willians was just interested in incredible sequences. Commercials and short films were his perfect medium, it’s too bad he was so hell bent on wanting to make a feature. Yeah, its so strange that the thief subplot is so isolated from the rest of the film. Granted, I've only watched the re-cobbled version but it seems like the character could be completely cut from the film aside from his role in starting off the events of the movie. I know they are mainly there so Williams can mess around and have some cool animation sequences, but I feel like they could've been integrated better into the main plot.

Detective No. 27 posted:I'm finally watching the final season of Samurai Jack. It's super good. Is the movie still in development? I remember J.J. Abram's Bad Robot studios was attached but that probably got sidetracked with Star Wars. No, that got cancelled. The final season is the conclusion to the series, and it doesn't leave any loose plot threads.

Robindaybird posted:yeah, there's no reason to really do the twist as imho the game's original story is pretty drat good and doesn't need any punch ups. Also, if they were going to do it, it probably should have happened much earlier in the movie so it could at least be somewhat justified. I wonder if they did it because they didn't want a canon story for the game. That would be super lame.

I think Disney animation studios is probably poaching most of the talent these days. I don't think its coincidence that the resurgence of Disney's main animation studio started happening right after Pixar was acquired.

Pick posted:I hate to say this but I think that we need to find, and I know this won't be easy, people who are into animation have not seen anime. We got to find them. Like an endangered species. And then we need to put them in some of these animator habitats so that they can make the artistic ecosystem more robust, with fewer blushing magic teenagers There is a lot of really good animation from Japan, so you can't really call yourself a fan of animation if you aren't willing to give anime a shot. I think at this point, everything is going to be at least a little bit indirectly inspired by anime. Hazbo Hotel's problems aren't because of anime, its because of people from tumblr fandom communities trying to become writers.

DC Murderverse posted:Honestly movie theaters being open in time for Mulan’s new date is still very much up in the air, I feel like movies aren’t gonna be considered essential that quickly, especially since it’s basically gathering dozens of people in a room for multiple hours. Even without interacting with each other it’s still a big risk. If any movie deserves to suffer the consequences of the pandemic, its Mulan.

SomeJazzyRat posted:I also assumed that part of the problem may have been that Kung Fu Panda 2 was a full American Dreamworks production, while 3 was a co-production between the American studio and Dreamworks' newly founded 'Oriental Dreamworks Studio'-nee-Pearl Studios (which Chinese investors have invested a lot of money into). I assume at that point, notes went from American execs trying to mold it into something western audience pleasing, to international money men giving multiple notes that probably ruined a lot of creative choices. Not to mention the logistic hiccups that come from two studios, across the world, working on the same film. I think a big factor is that since it was now actually made in China, the censors were also probably a lot more strict with the film. Even if the censors weren't directly telling them what to cut, I imagine the Chinese studio was trying hard not to piss off Winnie the Pooh.

The thing I remember about Titan AE is that its tone was all over the place, and sometimes it would awkwardly insert silly jokes for a very young audience. This was the opinion of my 10 year old self though. I haven't seen the movie since.

Aces High posted:I feel bad for Mike and Bryan, they got dicked around by Nick when they were making Korra, to the point where we got a goddamn clip episode in the middle of season 4, a season that already was shortened because Nick wanted the series wrapped up. I dunno Korra was lucky it got as many seasons as it did. Its ratings tanked despite starting out strong in the ratings. It wasn't like it was some obscure show that was failing because nobody knew about it. People stopped watching because it was bad. There are plenty of shows that got cancelled for bad reasons, but Korra wasn't one of them. The last airbender movie stuff sucks though.

Inspector Gesicht posted:I have zero hopes for a live-action Avatar for much the same reason Lindsay Ellis discussed why CATS shouldn't be a movie. One visual medium doesn't naturally lend itself to another, and the prospect of a live-action version should be not treated as some sort of upgrade in legitimacy. Especially ween the strength of the source-material is that it's a cartoon that takes advantage of how elastic the medium is. Sounds like we are getting a movie about Bad Box Art Mega Man.

I mean while Raya is inspired by certain cultures its still set in a fantasy setting. They are allowed to have some creative license. its not like fantasy stories have super accurate portrayals of European culture either and are usually a hodgepodge of different cultures.

Data Graham posted:Which is just super sad, because for at least 15 years after their emergence it seemed like they were operating on a level all their own, where they were physically incapable of putting a foot wrong. Even their weaker entries were miles ahead of what anyone else was doing and showed up their upstart competition as flailing posers. "New Pixar movie" was holy poo poo time I think Disney starting to poach talent from Pixar for their own animation studio was what was the end of that. You'll notice the quality of Disney animated movies go up around the same time as Pixar started its decline.

Pick posted:I went into it plenty in the old SU threads and don't care enough about it as a property to relitigate it, but basically everything from Beta (I/II) onward is just fumbling. There's a lot of very solid content before that, but everything after that just has no idea at all where it's headed and at what pace. Essentially, the show probably had a plan, but it got trapped in a place where it's reacting to its audience instead of telling its story and that sends it down a lot of useless and confusing rabbit holes. Eventually they realize, after a lot of puttering around, that they wasted a ton of time and have tons of story threads that now can't really resolve in time and which can't be fleshed out enough to be satisfying. It's the exact same problem Lost had. The White Diamond finale shot is a great example of something that's visually great but unearned and the product of a bunch of new powers they whipped out at the last second to plaster over a conflict they couldn't get to gel. The super long delays were actually advantageous to Steven Universe because it hid how terrible the pacing was. Once the show stopped being monster of the week and started focusing heavily on plot, it really suffered. So many plots that had a lot of build-up that never really went anywhere.

ungulateman posted:"stop making media based on other people's cultures! white people should only make movies about other white people! there's no way this is a bad concept!" Culture can't exist without somebody appropriating someone else's idea, and adding their own perspective to it. A culture is not just one person. Also, if you go back far enough, you can pretty much always find influences from another culture for something that is only supposed to belong to a certain group of people.

It was incredibly obviously that the movie was going to be bad, but if anybody dared to point it out, the angry mobs would go after them. This was something deliberately encouraged by the people involved in the film.

galenanorth posted:They rejected more Avatar content when they thought they were up to their ears in ideas for shows, on the heels of all the things that came out in the 90s and 2000s, then nearly two decades later, they announce a new series, but it's just online fan discussion vtubing except made by the company that made Avatar, instead of more Avatar. This is like Disney using May 4 to announce a new series about fans debating Star Wars and then saying "welp, that's all". I'm convinced Avatar the Last Airbender was lightning in a bottle, and any sequel series isn't going to be nearly as successful and good.

What I find myself wondering is, is this the first time there's been a traditionally-animated series in the prestige long-form 44min format? My brain is super not used to seeing animation go on for that long at a stretch and not be, like, a full movie. 45 minutes is the usual episode length for OVAs, although they have mostly died out aside from bonus episodes for anime.

It's just that the gayness is limited to the realm of themes, vibes and allegory so if you aren't familiar with gay culture then you probably missed most of it. For example, here are Luca and Alberto in fish form: There is so many pride flags out there at the moment, I don't think matching the color scheme of the flag means anything. Especially since those colors are already associated with aquatic stuff. To be clear, I'm talking about this specific scenario.
