I literally signed up to D+ for Gargoyles. It's increased the quality of my commute 100%. My daughter just discovered that Tangled series too, and it's really excellent. Cool art style and decent writing as well.

I'm sorry, but saying Porco Rosso is the worst Ghibli film is indefensible, the product of a truly diseased mind.

Porco Rosso is actually a pretty unique world and has a decent self contained story. Arrietty should be lower than Porco just because Arrietty has been done like half a dozen times in various media.

I saw Dolittle today, I think I forgot to add it to the OP. It really wasn't that bad. It wasn't great by any means but it was fun for me. The story was all over the place and I hated RDJ trying to do a British accent but I guess it was more book accurate than the previous 6 Dolitte movies?

Ineffiable posted:Pom Poko exists so... Yeah. I love Pom Poko :/ Arrietty is also high on my list but that might mostly be due to the music (probably my favourite of any Ghibli movie), the movie admittedly does need a third act where they’re actually out adventuring in the world.

Barudak posted:I have a Dr. Doolittle book I got as a kid and it was racist in a way even a stupid kid felt deeply uncomfortable with so I never read it again. I've never read the book, glad I didn't. This wasn't racist just...painfully obvious when something was CGI...like when the kid was riding a giraffe or whatever. Also the squirrel that was all about getting revenge because the kid accidentally shot him....but that went absolutely no where. Also Dolittle straight up kidnaps a child to take him on adventures and no one says anything. Wait, I'm sorry. A parrot, giraffe, and a fox did without Dolittle's help or knowledge. Still kidnapping with zero repercussions. Queen Victoria is the best character as soon as she wakes up from being dead at the end of the movie. Snarky as gently caress for no reason what-so-ever and has no time for anyone's poo poo despite literally being dead a few seconds prior. It was really refreshing to the "But this person is super nice and grateful and sweet to everyone" Nope. She sees the kid who just saved her life and goes "...and who are you? Why are you in my room?!" Despite the plot threads that went no where, some of the characters were entertaining so eh. John Cena needs to act in all the things because he is a wonderful voice actor, honestly. He made Ferdinand even better for me. Still surprised that there are SIX other Dolittle films. I'm not sure how that happened but it did. EDIT: I also loved Pom Poko. It made me cry.

I was so ready to love Weathering With You, even despite finding the main character insufferable, but I really didn't care much for the third act. It's sweet overall but not as good as Your Name.

Yeah, first there's the 1967 version, then the 1998 Eddie Murphy version, then its 2001 sequel, then three more Eddie-Murphy-less direct-to-video sequels. The first Eddie Murphy one was decently entertaining. The second one was a step down, but still fairly watchable. The one after that was a cavalcade of sports movie cliches and lowest-common-denominator Disney-channel-esque drivel.

Ccs posted:Over the winter break I rewatched my two favorite animation documentaries, "Persistence of Vision", about Richard William's 30 year attempt to make a feature animated film in London , and "Joy In Motion", a documentary about Miyazaki's mentor Yasuo Otsuka, his career, and the history of the development of animation in Japan. Thought I'd do an effort post about those two films while they're still fresh in my mind. I'm sure it's been discussed in previous incarnations of this thread, but the fan-made cut of Thief and the Cobbler is definitely worth seeking out, just for the glimpses of Williams' artistic genius along with the disappointment that he was unable to finish his magnum opus. Persistence of Vision is pretty much required viewing to accompany the film to fully grasp what went into making the Thief and the Cobbler, and what went completely wrong. RIP Richard Williams

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.

My local AMC is showing the Oscar-nominated short animated films in one go, along with the Commended ones that didn’t quite make it. Decent selection, and I think I enjoyed Mémorable the most, with Hair Love a close second. Kitbull was insanely cute however, and may cinch it. The just bubbling under ones included Hors Piste from France, which was the absolute highlight of the whole programme for me, and had the whole cinema laughing. Probably due to the rest of the films having big emotional stories to tell, it was actually a good release. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l13dCkY6c4c

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.
