Clockwork Rocktapus posted:Can confirm. Finally started it up after multiple recommends from this thread and it's incredible how it's already hit it's groove on episode 1. For the record, it hasn’t. You think it has, but it gets crazy good towards the end of season 1 and just keeps building from there.

Boxman posted:The songs in Hercules are so, so good. Gospel was an inspired choice of genre for a movie about a God, and Go the Distance is an incredibly strong song. Your timestamp is late. The finale starts with Mufasa.  Which is also where "Go the distance" starts.

MinionOfCthulhu posted:The Aladdin tv series inspired a lot of stuff for my dungeons and dragons campaign. The show was basically Al-Qadim: the Series, but better because it also had insect-themed steam robots and Vikings. My memory of that show was the episode he became a ghost and everything was spooky and me being very upset that even though he escaped he’d just go back to spooky ghost hell later when he really died

J-Spot posted:They still do them from time to time. I think Big Hero 6 and Tangled were the most recent. They've also got series for Monster Inc. and Zootopia in the works. Oh right, I forgot about those. I should probably get Disney+ at some point.

I havent seen Soul beyond the trailer, because the human designs are so repelling (lifelike skin-tones and features meshed with cartoonish proportions)and because I'm so over the trope where X is a mundane bureacracy (Monsters, The Brain, The Mexican Afterlife). Also Tina Fey does race comedy again.

Data Graham posted:That second one rules. China, Arabia, what's the difference In fact, Aladdin might be of "easterner" asian origin, it, ali baba, and sindbad aren't from the same places as the bulk of the stories. Sindbad features a repeat of the cyclops story in The Odyssey, and two of his seven voyages are his crew finding a giant egg, eating the bird inside, and being eaten by the returning gigantic mother bird

It's a very pretty movie with basically no plot and what plot there is could have been resolved if anyone said anything to anyone at any time.

It does look like they just colored the manga panels, and slapped on mouth animations and a few SFX. I know Netflix exclusives can look a lot better, and J.C Staff doesn't have the prestige it used to doesn't usually look this cheap.

what little staff information is out matches up with the Backstreet Girls adaptation from a couple years ago. so it seems like both shows weren't given a lot of resources and it's a team just trying to make that work, since the director is fairly established and has done perfectly good shows in the past (even with JC Staff).

Limited animation worked fine for Skull-Faced Honda San.... but this feels like those weirdo animated DC things where they took comic panels and just used After Effwcta to slide them around.

Raya and the Last Dragon is getting super good reviews, currently 95% on RT with 79 reviews. Also apprently it’s 1h54m long, which, is that the longest WDAS movie? What are the longest animated movies anyway? I know some anime films top 2 hours but I can’t think of any Disney or Pixar ones that do I’m so excited but I may have to wait a week or so before I watch it because some friends are coming to visit the following weekend and they want to see it too Hedrigall fucked around with this message at 03:55 on Mar 2, 2021 |

Original Fantasia is 124 minutes apparently. Here's hoping Raya can live up to the hype.

I know Princess Mononoke was the longest animated film for a long time, it was 2 hours and 14 minutes. But then the Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya beat its record at an absurd 2 hours 44 minutes and nothing else has even come close since then.

I thought they were going to undo Brother Bear 1 and turn Kenai back into a human at the end of this, but instead they turned the love interest imto a bear too. That's good. The more people who end up as animals at the end of these fuckin movies the better!!
