The like #4 animation trend from the 90s that I would have asked a genie to do away with forever would have been “voice casting based on whoever is considered a good screen actor or Hollywood star rather than an interesting or competent voice actor” Come see our new movie starring ... like fuckin, Nicolas Cage and Catherine Zeta-Jones

Which is just super sad, because for at least 15 years after their emergence it seemed like they were operating on a level all their own, where they were physically incapable of putting a foot wrong. Even their weaker entries were miles ahead of what anyone else was doing and showed up their upstart competition as flailing posers. "New Pixar movie" was holy poo poo time

Owlofcreamcheese posted:I think most of his movies are set at the end of one era where it's the very final days of one way of living as a new way takes over. A new generation meeting a dying way of life and ending up moving on and not reversing the decline but taking some part of it to assimilate into the modern world.

I remember when the first Ice Age trailer came out, which was just a 4-minute wordless Scrat (as yet unnamed) segment. My friends and I thought it was the greatest thing ever; we passed it around like a viral video. Look at all this slapstick and physical comedy! It's like a throwback to the Golden Age! This movie is going to rock!! ... And then the movie itself was just kind of eeehhhh, wisecracking buddy road movie, with the Scrat stuff as occasional interstitial comedy relief, which itself got repetitive and boring. It was a very disillusioning experience

FunkyAl posted:Clearly you weren't 8! That's what I don't get about all the live-action/CGI remakes of everything though. Not to relitigate something that I'm sure has been talked to death here, but when I was a kid "cartoon" meant "for me" and "live action" meant "boring and for grown-ups". I would have looked at a live-action remake of a Disney movie and said "wtf, are they trying to get my mom to watch this?" Maybe today's 8-year-olds have entirely different associations, but I could never figure out what kind of rationale based in "this is what kids want" there could be.

I would have thought that well was drained dry by this point anyway, 98% of the fanfiction is total grimdark bullshit. 3D is a weirder choice. The first movie was classic feature-ish 2D and did a pretty good job with aping the 90s Disney look. 3D has always had a connotation of "cheap Gary's Mod gags" in that crowd

Yeah I mean, the brief doesn't make it sound any darker than any of the stuff they've already done in the last ten years, conceptually. That's part of why the grimdark fans took it and ran with it. So I'm really not surprised at that kind of story idea. "Racism/segregation based on subspecies" was an episode premise in like the second season

paradoxGentleman posted:It was more of a cult thing than a communism thing. In fact I think people just heard the character go "everyone should be equal" and immediately went "communism" despite the aesthetic being very much "small town cult".

In fact that's a big part of normalizing queer concepts, getting people to think of it as naturally as they do hetero romance in kid-oriented properties since time immemorial. One of the things to overcome is the notion that gayness is inherently sexual and therefore "not for kids".

Schwarzwald posted:I just watched Disney's Atlantis. It's definitely one of the more made by committee animated films I've seen. I think they were getting spooked by stuff like Titan A.E. and Dreamworks things and tricking themselves into thinking they were doomed unless they followed the trends of the upstarts (didn't help that they were fresh out of fairy tales to adapt). I remember a CalArts friend telling me the studio pitch one-liners were "Fewer songs, more explosions" and "Not a dry pair of pants in the house"

Such highs and lows. Way-too-intense Rip Torn Zeus is amazing, but Hera as doting mother is lmao. Crazy cool Gerald Scarfe art design, godawful CGI on the hydra. Rad motown/R&B twist on the music, but I'm not so sure the Rocky/prizefighting reframe works. Hades is fantastic in concept and execution, but it's hard to watch him knowing it's James Woods. Etc e: also it's about where I started thinking it's a little weird and off-putting that Disney keeps insisting on having the story center around the hero/heroine moping about finding "the place where I belong" Data Graham fucked around with this message at 03:13 on Feb 28, 2021 |
