HBO Max has released a trailer for their Looney Tunes revival. It's looking pretty nice.Nikaer Drekin posted:Speaking of The Simpsons on Disney+, are they ever going to fix the aspect ratio for the 4:3 episodes? I thought the official word was that it was happening this year, which I guess is still possible but they don't seem to be in a loving hurry. The latest word is they’ll have the 4:3 versions sometime next month. J-Spot fucked around with this message at 16:01 on Apr 21, 2020 |

FilthyImp posted:Of course it makes sense that the seasons anyone is interested in look like blah Reliance Mediaworks generally does great work, but they're at the mercy of whatever the studio wants them to do. For example, the first five Disney features look great (they even re-did Pinocchio prior to Blu-ray since the UK DVD that used their first remaster was universally chided), but went a bit too far on Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty. They absolutely did not handle the final masters for The Sword in the Stone and Mickey's Christmas Carol for the Blu-rays. I don't think anyone figured out what happened, but at some point a filter was applied to the entirety of the film. In fact, you can catch a glimpse of the unfiltered transfer of MCC in the menu screens and it looks gorgeous. It's still astonishing that they never offered replacements for those discs since they're easily the worst-ever major studio releases I've seen.

If you told me that something combining Waking Life and Rick and Morty would be anything but brutally obnoxious I'd laugh, but at least the first one is decent.

Pencil lines xeroxed onto cels wasn't something the old looney tunes shorts did that was more of a Disney thing in later decades, what WB did was have inkers trace over the art onto cels.

Ah, misremembered then. I still think the razor thin lines on this new Looney Toons doesn't have the same feel as the old ones and that's what's tripping my eye up on them. Also the voices ranging from "almost" to "not even close."

I realize I might be wrong about that... for the later 50s/60s shorts. But separate cel inkers were def the case for the 40s shorts (the era of Bob Clampett, Frank Tashlin, Dover Boys-era Chuck Jones) that these new ones are the most inspired by

The_Doctor posted:But for that price, you’ve actually bought the film, no? Yes but you could essentially argue the same thing about going to the theater. The difference there is theoretically a better experience, and seeing it earlier. The first of which is becoming less and less relevant/true. I do think including some kind of discount on buying the home version later is probably a good idea.

That looks really close in spirit to the original shorts, which has not really been done well with the other revivals. It’s weird that it’d probably look a lot better if they threw on a filter to fade the color, resolution, and audio quality. Some of the background art also is noticeably more modern. That doesn’t mean it’s gonna be bad, but if you’re going to ape the old style it’d make sense to me to unpolish it a little more.

What are people’s thoughts on The Willoughbys? Being locked inside the kids picked up on it immediately and I thought it was quite fun. Some of the animation choices were neat and the voice actors sounded like they had a lot of fun (I could not tell it was Will Forte as Tim). It’s basically a mix of Wes Anderson and Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs (this also has Will Forte and Terry Crews so it’s the first thing that came to mind) which worked for me.
