But I’m sure it’s not cool to like anymore because it’s about your body being full of cops

The live action segments are more incongruous with the rest of the film than footage of Raymond Burr inserted into Godzilla and they really drag the film down

 He has health problems because he eats food off the sidewalk, something no actual human does, just for the sake of gross-out humor. The rest of the film is great and underrated, though. galenanorth fucked around with this message at 12:53 on Feb 9, 2021 |

Also, if you like Osmosis Jones and are looking for anime recommendations then I strongly suggest watching Cells at Work.

I second the Cells at Work, the main work is a pretty cute and chill series. Though fair warning Cells at Work BLACK is extremely bleak since it's in the body of someone that is in really bad shape, and there's an attack that's super uncomfortably sexualized in a way that wasn't in the manga.

well, this sucks. Haven't seen much of their output and don't really care to, but I was looking forward to Nimona, at least. wish they could finish production and put it on Disney+ https://twitter.com/DEADLINE/status/1359192033420849156

I’m curious about the Disney+ Ice Age show however; the article seems to read like they are still making it. Is it being done in-house by Disney now?

Disney is a monopoly buying up the competition and shutting it down. Feels ominous, but I'm not sure anything can be done about it.

Is it being done in-house by Disney now? apparently it's being made either by WDAS or an unspecified outside studio. or maybe one of their TV animation studios also, the article makes it sound like Nimona was the only project Blue Sky had in production, but I was under the impression that they were doing a couple of the projects Disney announced at their Investor Day on Dec. 10, like the animated Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Night at the Museum. maybe I wasn't paying close attention though Barry Convex fucked around with this message at 19:18 on Feb 9, 2021 |

Nimona was very "of its time" and a narrative trash fire and if it were adapted "well" it would be bad and if it was adapted poorly it would probably also be bad.

I admittedly never read it, it just sounded interesting and I liked what I read of Lumberjanes from the same creator. so maybe you're right, idk

Whhaaat. I was looking forward to Nimona and assumed it was already finished since it's been in production so long, that's such a huge amount of super talented crew out of work. This is like when Dreamworks cancelled Larrikins. gently caress.

The fact that Nimona was still ten months away from completion despite already having been delayed two years (its original release date was Feb. 14, 2020) might suggest that production was going less than smoothly, so maybe this is more than just a case of Big Bad Monopolistic Disney. though I wouldn't be surprised if it was the latter either anyway, there's a sliver of hope, I guess, this wouldn't be the first 20th Century movie Disney has sold to a rival streamer (they sold The Woman in the Window to Netflix, remember), but I wouldn't bet on it https://twitter.com/Borys_Kit/status/1359207769614606339

In good news, I got an email notification that Don Hertzfeldt has a new kickstarter campaign for the first three episodes of his World of Tomorrow series on Blu-Ray. I backed his previous one a lifetime ago that included It's Such a Beautiful Day. World of Tomorrow is more experimental but just as interesting and everyone should try to pick up a copy. It's amazing seeing him progress from juvenile, though creative and super funny, animation to these amazing philosophical works. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/worldoftomorrow/world-of-tomorrow-the-first-three-episodes-on-blu-ray?ref=profile_created

Probably not the right thread but I have no idea where to find the right thread. How do I watch the Evangelion Rebuild series? Like, do I do 1 1.11 2 2.22? The whole thing seems needlessly complex and esoteric. Until very recently the ending of the series (for me) was just a bunch of people clapping saying "Congratulations". Netflix let me see the other endings and now I'm curious but the whole thing just makes me bounce off and not care again.

1.11 and 2.22 are just extended versions of 1 and 2. They also reframed some shots and fixed some brightness issues.

So I should do 1.11 2.22 3.33 and then whatever they call the next one? Or 1.0 2.0 3.0 then whatever they call the next one?

VinylonUnderground posted:So I should do 1.11 2.22 3.33 and then whatever they call the next one? 3.0+1.0 will likely take a minute to get over here. The Japanese theatrical run was pushed back and no one really knows when it'll premiere. Additionally, Khara is probably going to drag their feet getting the dub done (and will likely agonize over the subtitled version as well).

I was looking at the voice cast for Raya, and noticed that Alan Tudyk is the voice of Tuk Tuk. I looked back and it looks like he's been in everything since Wreck-it Ralph. Is he considered WDFA good luck charm and put in all of their movies now, similar to Pixar putting John Ratzenberger in all their movies?

I was a huge Redwall fan back in the day, and I am a huge Over the Garden Wall fan now,so this works out beautifully for me. "The sun shone, high and hot, on Cluny the Scourge. Cluny the Scourge!"

I’m honestly surprised it took this long for someone to try it. Netflix has produced some pretty solid animation projects so I have hope that they’ll do the books justice.

Well at least Redwall has a better chance than Mouse Guard of being released, considering Netflix won't be acquired by anyone anytime soon. If Blue Sky was in California I could see Netflix possibly stepping in and trying to acquire the studio for their own projects, but it's so remote out on the east coast. Such an inconvenient place for an animation studio.

I think redwall in general has issues as a series. I loved it so much as a child but they wrote too many books and it really screwed things up. Like specifically the species stuff is something you wouldn't even question in one or two books, but by the time they wrote like 20 books it's repeated uses made it a theme and it's the grossest imaginable theme and makes the whole series sour.

Every single Redwall book I went into I was craving for the one that’d finally turn the species essentialism on its head with a good vermin protagonist and a mouse that’s revealed to be evil as a twist. Even as a kid I got a sense of the unjust politics of the series and all my own imaginary stories in the setting were about triumphantly overturning prejudice and achieving equality. Then I read Outcast of Redwall and jesus christ.

This is entirely my trajectory too. I really like the Redwall idea and I think some of the books are fun to read even now, especially the first Redwall and "The Long Patrol". That said, the speciesism really prevents me from enjoying it as anything other than a passing child's fancy. Trying to make it anything other than a child's fable makes the way the "vermin" are treated just unacceptable.

It's the sort of thing where if you read one or two books you go 'eh, I can see why someone would read it that way but it doesn't seem like that big a deal" but as you read more and more books and the same things keep happening even as a kid it comes off as so weird and gross. Like the whole 'veil' plotline feels the like most hateful and mean spirited story imaginable, there is like ten billion ways that story could have gone that would have felt fine, but every single choice that book made was to be as just awful as possible. but it's not like they do it, then go "ah, we screwed up, that wasn't good" and backtrack in some later book, they just do similar things like 3 more times. It really sucks. It feels like there being so many books turned 'this is a thing that happened once" into repeated motifs in just unreasonably awful ways.
