Pick posted:It's definitely sexual innuendo but it could also be taken literally. It's a general cartoon gag. Well it is taken literally since they are literally playing pattycake  I agree. A cute little line is when Eddie asks her why she likes Roger and she says "Because he makes me laugh"

Jessica is loyal and looking out for Roger's best interests, and in return Roger believes in her. They both end up justified and their relationship never falters.

I like how Betty Boop more or less stated that Roger is considered a catch in his own right by toons so it's not just 'Guy has a Hot Babe that's way out of his league'.

Personally I'm Glad the rights of Who framed roger rabbit weren't claimed by a lesser company, otherwise we'd be getting modern sequels that tried to include cartoons from like family guy, animes or *shudder* johnny test.

Saw Mr. Sherman and Peabody today. The very definition of a shrug-your-shoulders-and-go-"meh" movie for the most part. After Turbo and now this, I'm really hoping HTTYD2 can still deliver.

It was also incredibly heavily advertised on Cartoon Network. Almost every commercial break on the network last summer had the full 2-minute trailer, it seemed like.

I've got high hopes for HTTYD2; the trailer looked great (those flight sequences in 3D can't fail to be anything but stunning), the character posters of all the grown-up kids and their dragons are delightful, and there's some leaked pages of the concept artwork floating around that have got me kind of stoked. The Nico Marlet artwork of the character and dragon designs are really, really beautiful.

Isn't HTTYD2 being done by a different director or the same on as the HTTYD? I'm assuming when most of these movies come out they have different directors on them. I really doubt the Mr. Sherman and Peaboy/Turbo where made by the same director of HTTYD2. But I do agree, I really hope HTTYD2 delievers because those two movies just make me go man Dreamworks is the same ol poo poo again, when they do have some pretty good movies.

I keep forgetting Turbo even existed.  I remember watching it and expecting Bee Movie levels of absurdity, but instead it was just... there. Boring characters, boring character designs, just overall a completely unmemorable movie. Which is kind of an odd thing to say considering its premise.

I probably differ from, say, Pick here, but I would rather watch a film that offends me than a film that bores me. I'd rather watch Bee Movie than Shark Tale any day, and I don't mean that as a compliment to the former.

Shark Tale at least almost had a redeeming quality to it. Keyword ALMOST. Bee movie just makes me want to punch something. Besides if people like me can watch horrible cheesy rear end horror movies and have fun with, you can do the same with animations movies. Except Felix the cat. The gently caress where they thinking with that movie.

I guess this is the thread to post about Akira, which it is the 25th anniversary of the film. Despite it being such an iconic film, I don't think I even watched it until about 2005 or so. I am still lost about much of the film, but I would imagine that most people don't really watch it for its plot, which honestly is pretty lovely. Its a weird movie. I don't really think it has a central protagonist. I want to say its Kaneda, but I think the movie focuses far too much on Tetsuo for that. The Colonel is an odd character too which I believe the audience is supposed to be sympathetic too, but he is far too hardline militaristic for me to enjoy him as a character. It also has all kinds of weird poo poo like 15 year old protagonists and Kaneda immediately saying that he wants to kill one of his good friends within the time span of an hour.

It's based on a six-volume manga, and the volumes are literally over an inch thick each, if you ever saw them on the shelves in comic book stores. Crammed into one movie length. I imagine the plot was in no small part sacrificed during the adaptation. Also, if folks haven't talked about it in this thread much, I heartily suggest watching The Wolf Children. It's a ghibliesque movie about a woman who falls in love and gives birth to two special children, and the struggle she faces as she raises them. Give the trailer a watch, it's dubbed, though it does contain spoilers(even if they're fairly early on). I loved it, it's up there with some of Ghibli's best in how emotionally affecting it was for me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SlB-SpDMKI&hd=1 I really wish I could have seen it in the theaters, but the one time it was shown relatively nearby I was out of town.

It's also by the director of Summer Wars, which while being basically a full-length version of the second Digimon movie (also by the same director), is super good in its own right.

It's weird that Akira suffered from having too much to put into movie form, 'cause the last third or so of it felt like it dragged on for so long. I can see why a lot of people like it, and how it was inspirational and influential, but I really don't much like it as a thing to actually watch. And I've given my opinions of Wolf Children way earlier in the thread but just to be a massive hypocrite, I recently saw A Letter To Momo and holy poo poo did that floor me with emotions. I guess what we're affected by varies quite a bit. also you guys are neglecting to mention Mamoru Hosoda's best movie, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. Everyone watch that. At least like, the first half of it. Koramei fucked around with this message at 02:09 on Mar 27, 2014 |

In the film tetsuo gets sent back in time to create the universe when he goes out of control and starts to destroy the city while in the comics he rules over the ruins of neo tokyo with his psychic cult. The film didn't so much lose a lot of plot as go in a different, shorter direction.

It's one of those movies where, if it connects with you, it connects HARD. I was a mess from fifteen minutes in to the very end.
