I hated Osmosis Jones, but admit Thrax was a good villain and the animation was pretty nice. Chalk Titan A.E up for another one I saw and don't remember. It seems like it was one of those movies where everything's so dark and dirty, it might as well take place in a cave. Which can work well in other mediums, but I feel like it gets downright oppressive and draining in animation. I'm probably equating it to games where if I'm in a dungeon too long, I wanna claw the walls open and see some of that sweet sky render.

I remember thinking that all the aliens in TItan AE were weird and offputting, besides the energy aliens that blow up everything in the first 10 minutes.

I mean, not to get too anti-chat, but there are simply poor or unremarkable films and then a truly spectacular tier of nearly unwatchable abortions of the medium.

Yeah, I don't want to see this thread die, it's one of my favorites, but if someone doesn't pick something to break down next soon, I'm just going to close the thread temporarily and re-open it when someone has an idea. The rest of this chat can go in the animation thread.

Well since this is now the "Animation Quality Dead Zone" thread, maybe this thread could also have traditional animation in it. Some of the posters in the Animation thread are talking about the bad biblical adaptations that might fit in this topic.

How about the Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer movie? Not that stop motion one, the 2D one. I think Eric Idle's in it. edit: here we go! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudolph_the_Red-Nosed_Reindeer:_The_Movie I remember being eight and thinking this was the most awesome movie ever.

Have we done an in-depth about Cool World, yet? It's only partially animated, though. It's a movie I've only seen parts of over the years, I remember it getting a huge marketing push and a lot of controversy, but it flopped really hard from what I recall. I also seem to remember something about a lot of rewrites and changes from the original concept, as Wiki states: "The film was originally pitched as an animated horror film about an underground cartoonist who fathers an illegitimate half-human/half-cartoon daughter, who hates herself for what she is and tries to kill him." During production, Bakshi's original screenplay was scrapped by producer Frank Mancuso, Jr. and heavily rewritten by Michael Grais, Mark Victor and Larry Gross

The Nut Job is on Netflix. While it's not exceptionally terrible enough to deserve Quality Deadzone treatment, it is a perfect illustration of the importance of writing and directing in animation; The Nut Job and The Lego Move came out at the same time and both feature Will Arnett and Liam Neeson, yet while they both stole the show as Batman and Bad Cop in The Lego Movie they're completely forgettable in The Nut Job despite playing larger roles.

Das Boo posted:I hated Osmosis Jones, but admit Thrax was a good villain and the animation was pretty nice. Titan AE is pretty poor. It went through a sudden change from all 2D to having some CG stuff while in production as well as some conflicting story stuff while they were making it. Sort of the opposite of Cool World, it began a bit more lighthearted but then it was made to be XXXTREME in the dumbest ways possible. Also after not seeing it in forever, man, Heavy Metal totally owns. I mean it's just goofy as hell and fun and looks amazing, I was shocked because I somehow thought I didn't like it. It might have the raddest opening credits/scene of any movie. Neo Rasa fucked around with this message at 03:48 on Aug 22, 2014 |

From what I remember of Titan AE, it seems like the XXXtreme stuff must have gotten scale backed later. I mean, a guy bridges a broken electrical circuit with his corpse and this is totally glossed over afterwards.

There was this movie I watched last week when my back was killing me from work and the pain was enough to keep me from sleeping. I was browsing IMDb and I started to find all these knock-off Titanic movies that were made within a couple years of the Titanic movie. I ran into this movie, read the synopsis, and I knew I had to watch it. The synopsis is as follows:quote:A grandfather mouse tells his grandchildren the "real" story of the Titanic disaster, including himself, evil sharks, a giant octopus, and an evil whaling scheme. The Legend of the Titanic (or as I refered to it as, Fieval Goes Out To Sea) is originally Italian and was later dubbed over to English. It has everything you want in a Titanic story; starcrossed lovers separated by class and social expectation, a suitor with plans of his own, stowaway mice that can talk, dolphins that cast magic on moonbeam-soaked tears, it even has its own gangster sharks. The octopus is an amazing character as well for its own reasons. It's one of those things you have to see. There's also, of course, Not-Celine-Dion music. You can watch the whole English dub of it on Youtube. Just thought it'd be a nice addition to the thread, if anyone wants to go in-depth with it.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTRe-zSbEUY

I get the feeling that the directors didn't realize or care that the Titanic was an actual boat that actually sank.

If I could make a suggestion, there is no cartoon movie that I hate more than Quest For Camelot. Even more than Foodfight. Foodfight makes me feel sad and gross, Quest makes me feel angry: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UV5kS_B6Zws Or One Stormy Night (Japanese: Arashi no Yoru ni). It's a Romeo & Juliet story about a male wolf and a male goat. But when you add the predator/prey element the subtext gets really uncomfortable: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiXZkbhz4oY But suggesting Japanese movies is cheating, right?

I think I have another possible suggestion, for something I only ever saw the smallest part of: The animated version of "The King and I" from the late 90s. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGC36_6_wwM This was theatrically released within a year of other theatrical animated films like Iron Giant, Quest for Camelot, Prince of Egypt, Rugrats and just a few years after Anastasia. From the trailer, alone, it doesn't look theatrical quality. edit: Quest for Camelot at least sort of looks grand and you could almost mistake it for some Disney-level animation in some places in that trailer, K&I trailer that has parts that look like they're from a Capt. Planet episode. JediTalentAgent fucked around with this message at 07:14 on Aug 22, 2014 |

Asgerd posted:That's from a completely different animated Titanic movie with talking mice. Yep, that one is Titanic: The Legend Goes On, whereas the one previously mentioned is The Legend of the Titanic. Both are Italian-produced and were even released the same year, I think. I've seen both, and it's tough to decide which is worse, but I'd give the edge to Legend Goes On. The character designs are even more offensive, it's even more blatant in ripping off both Disney and the Cameron film, and it does an even worse job of integrating the animal antics with the humans.

I'd definitely be interested in a breakdown of Delgo because the drive behind it (make a top-class animated movie outside of the regular studio system) was a nice one but the final product was so shockingly awful.

The protagonists from the first film go on a diving expedition to find the wreck and end up in an undersea kingdom ruled by a masked fascist king. Which is great. They foil a plot against the fascist king and decide not to tell anyone about the Titanic or the crazy country under the sea. There's another unrelated Italian (I think) animated Titanic with talking mice. That one's even worse.

Okay, I'm going to close this until someone comes up with a new movie to dissect and asks me to open it again. All this other conversation can go in the regular animation thread.
