Starting off 2020 with a viewing of Cool World, because my partner has never seen it. Can't help but feel a little sad about how hosed over Bakshi got on this movie.

Yo, nankeen, if you're looking for another idiosyncratic animation feature to break things up between Bakshis, you could do a lot worse than Bill Plympton's Hair High.

I liked the nonsensical jump boost sequence.

Watched Osmosis Jones for the first time yesterday, because my partner (who'd also never seen it) had an impulse to watch it. That certainly felt like a movie responsible for the death of a major studio's animation division. What confused me most was trying to figure out who the intended target audience was. Buddy cop movie going on in the animated side, with a corrupt mayor (voiced by Shatner) B-plot. And Bill Murray schlubbing around in the live-action side, embarrassing his daughter and (sort of?) learning about the importance of a healthy lifestyle. Cameos from Kid Rock and Joe C., Laurence Fishburne as the villain, Chris Elliott drifting around in a weird wig. David Hyde Pierce in a lead role. And all of it directed by the Farrelly brothers.

Animal Crackers: It's alright. Not nearly as bad as Indiewire tried to make it out to be. Gilbert Gottfried's character kind of steals the show. It's better than The Nut Job.

Something, uh... 'impressive' about Peter Pan is that the racism is toned down (arguably) from the stage musical version.

My sister tried to take away my VCR privileges once, because I kept rewinding and replaying a specific verse from the junk shop song.

The best part of Ralph Breaks the Internet was the scroll bar on the end credits, letting theater workers know how much longer they had to wait before the auditorium would empty for cleaning.

I guess I’m about a year late on this, but Klaus is sweet and good. Only issue I had with it was that a couple of the songs are a bit insubstantial, which is a weird fit with how well-constructed the rest is, but that’s a minor fault. Stick Man was another enjoyable animated holiday film. Fairly short, and the dialogue makes it obvious that it was adapted from a storybook, but the texturing is very smoothly handled, and there are some wonderfully captured animal mannerisms.

Having watched Christmas in Tattertown today, I'd like to encourage an egg and any other big Bakshi enthusiasts to check it out. It's a pilot episode for a series which never got bought, and it anticipates a lot of the ornamental qualities of Cool World in its busy population of frames, plus a red-nosed spider as a main supporting character. There's also what feels like a slight revisiting of Wizards in the antagonist's gathering of antiquated war machines (this being aired on Nickelodeon, there's no Nazi imagery, though). Allegedly, the Mighty Mouse flower powder incident played a role in the series not being picked up.

Captain Invictus posted:I guess it could be this but I don't think it was, the animation doesn't really trigger any memory. In my memory it was more of a ninja turtles-style muscular animal guy with a gun busting through some bushes into a peaceful picnic of disney-looking critters, gleefully murdering them all from the get-go. Maybe a little bit of the music video for “Three Little Pigs”?
