Bakshi owns. I just did a watch party of his films a few weeks ago. Fire and Ice is bad but it's pretty funny that every scene is one person getting kidnapped or knocked out, then another going "Let's go over there" then pointing to a Frank Frazeta painting Edit:after watching this film I wanted to see if the backgrounds were available anywhere, cause there's a p good Bakshi artbook. I emailed the publisher, who turned out to be an indie comics guy called Chris, who put me in touch with Bakshi's grandkids who sent me a bunch of art from a scrapped chapter of said artbook, that was cool. I can post it if you want Nemesis Of Moles fucked around with this message at 02:10 on Jan 3, 2020 |

Colonel Cancer posted:Fire and Ice had some absolutely amazing visuals though. I think Heavy Metal parodied it too For sure. I genuinely love that halfway through the movie this badass panther dude shows up and takes over as the protagonist, even kills the evil ice King at the end while the "hero" fucks about doing nothing lmao

AF posted:god drat I really loved the fluidity when Frodo fights the ringwraith. Something about how he throws the cloak is just mad pleasing and gives him this heroic figure https://i.imgur.com/pt78u0a.mp4 and while i'm posting gifs I spent hours making for no real reason, it's about this point in the film we start getting closer to Mordor and the freaky weridness vibe that place has in the film. This is a shot that's coming up p soon that rules https://i.imgur.com/bllUFKW.mp4

I agree with a previous comment that the design for the baddies is overall really good and unique and those rotoscoped scenes are awesome. there really is something special about the fluidity of the animation, even if doesn't hold up sometimes. thx for doing this OP, will continue to experience this vicariously through you

Basticle posted:are you loving kidding me, Ok! https://imgur.com/a/LQEOWcs A lot of these are really low res, I dunno why. My faves are probably the pic of some monster concepts:  and this shot from an unused Balrog concept. If you think the one in the film is cheesey, lmao  There's also this concept of the ringwraiths which owns

A lot of Bakshi's work straddles the line between earnestly, genuinely kickass and goofy fuckin' sillybusiness and often does both incredibly well. I genuinely like a lot of the stuff in LoTR. I like Aragorn as a big dorky nerd with a million stories about the world. I like the moment in the Shire where the hobbits are like "lmao Frodo we've been keeping tabs on you for years cause *obviously* some wild poo poo was about to go down". I like the weird ringraith costumes and how fuckin' bonkers alien sci-fi Mordor and Isengard are portrayed. This, Fire and Ice and Wizards are perfect stoner/trip films imo. American Pop is the best Bakshi movie imo

free hubcaps posted:I always thought some of the film used for rotoscoping in this movie was stock footage, not sure if that’s the case though I have some pictures somewhere, maybe in that gallery I posted, of a bunch of dorks all dressed up "attacking" a castle to get footage for the helms deep battle, they def. filmed a lot of it, if not all. Here's a shot of helms deep as Gandalf describes it. It's a shame we didn't get this weird underworld magic tower stuff and just got the Basic Castle shots.

Mordja posted:So why wasn't there a sequel? Apparently the movie took in 30 mil at the box office and cost 4 to make which sounds pretty good for the late 70s. Bakshi has said it was because of a lack of funding. He struggled to secure the cash to make movies basically his entire life. Partially cause animation for adults wasn't really A Thing in the way it is now, with only a handful of studios believing it worthwhile, and the scene dominated by Disney, partially because it kinda seems like Bakshi is an "interesting" person to work with. The Rankin Bass people made a sort-of-sequel in 1980 that roughly picked up where he left off

Studios screw creators p often and bakshi famously got absolutely ruined by almost every studio he worked for, one of the reason he quit doing stuff till Kickstarter let him self-fund there

My friends and I would joke that the reason Bakshi could never get any money is his particular style just made everyone look really fuckin' ugly
