Magic Hate Ball posted:It's still 2016 and it's still the holidays so I can still post Santa Clawhauser and you can't tell me I can't. it's a little weird that Disney spent enough money to put a man on the Moon building these CGI puppets to mimic realistic physics in great detail so that posing and rendering them from that point on would be click-and-drag simple, and then just photoshop the same half-dozen prerendered cutouts of them over and over for all their promotional material.

FirstAidKite posted:What was the deal with talespin anyway, why did they decide to repurpose jungle book characters for that show, that always seemed like a weird thing to do A TV series following the Disney Jungle Book characters would be kind of dull and a cartoon series about air deliveries would be kind of dull, but you combine the two and you've got magic

Das Boo posted:So, like... does anyone actually enjoy watching a cartoon character dance? And I'm talking the typical dance party dance. I understand enjoying watching the ballet in Duet, or Esmeralda's festival dance, or sweeping ballroom dances like Sleeping Beauty or B&tB, but I've never quite gotten the fun of watching dancing animations of a character, segregated, doing a dance party dance. They don't seem so much for the audience as for the animation team also if you wanna fill five minutes at the end without having to expend much effort and without having to look like you're just filling time there's worse ways to go than all your characters looping through a little animation while some licensed music plays

Macaluso posted:I never got around to seeing Mad Max: Fury Road, and I still haven't seen it. I have it just sitting around here waiting to be watched. But I'm super apprehensive about watching it at this point because I haven't seen a movie hyped up like that in a long time. It's the one recent film I can think of that would probably still hold up even after you've been soured by weirdos who want to gently caress the movie. Zootopia is some good cartoon but yeah, I'd imagine if you're going into it primed with Hedrigall posts you're gonna kinda hate it.

Is it due to studios looking at the crazy money Hasbro's been making with My Little Pony and figuring they want a slice of the pie as well?

I was an excellent writer in high school, got a bunch of scholastic awards for terrible garbage poetry and Lacanian deconstructions of Shakespeare while walking the tightrope between Cs and Ds in math, and so my horrible academic advisor urged me to get a literature degree so I could be, presumably, a professional Lacanian literature critic when I grew up. I didn't watch a lot of cartoons, except for All Dogs Go To Heaven, religiously.

Build-a-Boar posted:The only way I can sleep at night is to tell myself that the scene where a giant mech pulls a giant bowie knife was written entirely for comedy, and nobody seriously wrote that thinking it would be good and cool. that's the only part of Avatar I remember, the only part that was worth remembering, and it redeemed the entire rest of the movie for me Guy Mann posted:Yes but that's all after the fact. The movie itself was a completely self-contained story with no lingering sequel hooks or after-credit stingers. I'm not even vaguely clear on what you're trying to argue at this point. Avatar was always a heavily commercial venture, designed first and foremost to showcase 3D technology, and Cameron was talking about making an ocean sequel or something while it was still in theaters. That it wasn't written expressly as the first installment of a trilogy Peter Jackson style means nothing. A Wizard of Goatse fucked around with this message at 17:11 on May 16, 2017 |
