Raya is such a weirdass movie. Any time Disney wants to make an epic adventure I can't help but think that a lot of great ideas get sanded down to mitigate risk of alienating general audiences and they end up with a shallow product that can be inconsiderate as well. I liked Moana but lol it has a song about how they use each part of the

Menken and Ashman started doing music and lyrics for Disney with Little Mermaid as well, which really helped put it, and later movies over the top.

Electric Phantasm posted:Anyone know anything else about this? I ended up watching it on YouTube. It's about an hour long. I don't think anything else in the movie tops this clip except maybe the ending but there are some very funny sloppy sequences throughout. It was directed by Rumen Petkov who ended up working on a few cartoon network shows in the 90s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J62nQSa335Y Sourdough Sam fucked around with this message at 17:28 on Jun 5, 2022 |

Didn't that one PPG reboot have some creepy stuff with someone who worked on the show getting his very obvious self insert to date one of them in an episode? Foster's had such a great art style, especially for an early entirely digital cartoon. Great color palettes and character designs and fluid animation that didn't feel artificial.

Dunno why they felt the need to mention that THIS was the movie Andy watched. In the world of Toy Story is this movie animated? Is it live action? Not bad for 1995. I didn't feel much watching this movie, but I did love the design of all the ships and robots.

With this and GDT's Pinocchio, it does seem like Netflix are the only people who want to keep stop motion animation alive. I've also been wanting to see Mad God but I think I'll get that on Blu Ray if I can.

I agree that stop motion is very well suited for off-kilter, slightly unsettling media OR warm and wholesome like Rilakkuma. I was pretty disappointed in that Yeti movie Laika made years ago. It was beautiful visually but so by-the-numbers generic "We gotta get this creature back home!" type movie. The only thing missing was putting Solsbury Hill in the trailer but Finding Dory already did that. It didn't play to the strengths of stop motion and could very well have been a full CG movie and it wouldn't have made a difference.

I bet they have young Mufasa save young Scar from falling off a cliff and he says "I know you would do the same for me, brother." "Also have you met baby Timon and Pumba from The Lion King? Looks like they're getting into some mischief with young Rafiki!" Then Scar gets the scar.

I remember watching some feature with Alan Menken about Aladdin and Jafar's cut song came up. Howard Ashman was dying of aids at the time and Menken drew the connection between Jafar ruining Aladdin to aids ruining Ashman with the lyrics of "Humiliate The Boy". I think the song was deemed a little too dour for the movie. He had a fun song in the sequel though.

I loved it. The plot is a bit overcomplicated but I think it adds a little to the absurdity. I love early on in the movie where Wendell and Wild have flat very cubist faces that are still made of clay. It was a really unique look. Feels like Key and Peele subdued their performances a little which is honestly refreshing since they more or less reenacted their hotel valet characters in Toy Story 4. Wouldn't want to see that again and again.

cant cook creole bream posted:That Puss In Boots movie was really great. I loved the wolf. The wolf was amazing. Dunno if it's an unpopular opinion but I thought John Mulaney as Big Jack Horner was hilarious. His character design is so intentionally unappealing and odd to look at but the performance and animation made that work. His hands are the size of his head if not bigger and his eyes are tiny, but he was delightful.

Another thing I noticed about Puss in Boots that I really loved (and can't get screenshots of cuz iTunes blacks out the screen if I try) was the shaders. They have some tech that adds brush strokes to the hard 3D edges of their models, making their silhouettes look painted. It's mostly on large props, not the characters themselves. We're definitely in the golden age of CG animation.

Human Ryan Reynolds forced to get in a Poké-Consciousness Transfer Machine with a Pikachu for one last ride. It'll be a mystery only a Pokémon can solve or something. Also there will be gags where human Ryan Reynolds is running around with the mind of a Pikachu.

I haven't seen it yet but all this talk of Mario having obnoxious needle drops in the soundtrack reminded me of the SMB3 show which had "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" sung by Wendy Koopa and I'm wondering how they even pulled that off on such a low budget show. They saved money on animation to be sure  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fc3e1-zT_5w&t=11s

I seriously loved it, though I admit that I become an easily impressed idiot baby when I see a movie on the big screen. I don't really have any substantial complaints other than maybe yeah the needle drops in the soundtrack felt studio mandated. The score was otherwise super charming and full of rapid fire references to melodies from all the games. It's a short but the action is constant. I don't think I would want this particular movie to be longer because of it. Beautiful lighting and materials too. This movie felt like eating one of those pixie sticks that come in a giant plastic straw. e: we got a trailer for Illumination's next movie which is about... ducks migrating. They had so little faith in it that they spent about a minute and a half showing clips from all of their previous movies INCLUDING Mario. Usually studios present their bonafides in the form of logos but they must be real worried about this duck one. Sourdough Sam fucked around with this message at 06:32 on Apr 9, 2023 |

There's gotta be some kind of twist to the concept because having just a family road trip movie but with ducks migrating sounds like an imminent flop. Maybe they hit a wall in the sky and it turns out they're in a biodome on the moon and the ducks have to get back to earth.

I've been slowly making my way through the new set of Star Wars Visions animated short films that came out last week. They're all mostly great so far. They had studios around the world make films this time instead of just Japan and each film has a very distinct visual style. Neat how it's possible to treat Star Wars as a setting and a bundle of themes without them getting irradiated by Disney factory brand consumerism and focus tested references and quips. They're all beautifully animated too. Aardman's even got a short in there and it's cute.
