Being the resident suddenly self appointed movie guy, I can happily say that Illumination is the studio we want making this. They make gorgeous, happy movies.

Some don't look so bad, sure - I know a lot of work goes into CGI, and making it look good instead of crap can take just as much effort and artistic skill as traditional animation.

I just feel that everything is being made into CGI these days because it's the "in" thing and that classics should really remain as being traditionally animated - Or at least keep their original art style, there's nothing wrong with using computers to emulate that. It's just that when classic ideas are done with 3D models instead, it takes away some of their original charm and ruins them a bit, IMO.


I don't think CGI is used just cos it's 'in'. I think it's become a new, yet valid form of film. Just like live action, cartoons and stop motion is.


And I don't feel its wrong to use it with classic stuff either x_X the important thing is how they deliver the film.

I yearn for traditional animation too, but we're not going to be seeing a resurgence of it for awhile. As soon as we have 4D cinema.

We already have 4D cinema. Unless you've been staring at static images...

To do this, you will need a Facebook, but it's really creepy. Watch with headphones.

Lol, that poor bloke, he obviously can't afford a bath or air conditioning, he's sweating like a pig.

Dynamithix 10-30-2011 10:00 AM

I figured this would fit in this thread too, but this brings a tear to my eye. Only because of what happens in the end of the game.

I've been watching these beautiful fuckers all day.

The new Tintin movie (that is CGI) got great reviews already.

What the hell were you reading?

The reviews that are up on Metacritic.

enchilado 10-30-2011 02:58 PM

They're good reviews, but not great. Still, it looks good and I'll probably go to the cinema for the first time in about three years to watch it. Tintin is the best.

Dynamithix 10-30-2011 03:20 PM

The reason I want to see it is that I always loved to watch the original Tintin's when they were on TV. They were really good. I remember some of the episodes were really creepy though.

MeechMunchie 10-30-2011 03:40 PM

Oh. Obviously it's just British critics who hated it then.

JennyGenesis 10-31-2011 01:09 AM

I've learned to never trust film critics.

Man, hippos have the best skulls ever.

I'd like to know how you manage to happen across all these things, MM. You really are a strange and delightful person.

that's why i married him.

enchilado 10-31-2011 02:05 PM

Nice skull! I wish my teeth were that straight.


I discovered this a while ago, and that skull made me think of posting it here—I think it's pretty cool.

If I've piqued anyone's interest, this site is rather entertaining.

EDIT: Ridg3, that is the nicest compliment I've recieved in a very long time.

Digimon designs sure have gotten weird lately

Nate 11-01-2011 06:39 AM

I think I speak for all of us when I say 'What the fuck?'



I can't remember the last time I laughed this hard.

I'm about to explode from anger. How the fuck you can watch something like that is beyond me.

Wings of Fire 11-01-2011 07:13 AM

So which bit of it made you want to explode from anger specifically? I'm curious.

Also, I think you might be taking life a little too seriously.

Dynamithix 11-01-2011 07:40 AM

I don't know, the whole scene. An anime girl dressed as a cat with an awkward man telling her something and then the anime girl says something fucking annoying and it's so 'kawaii'.

And yeah, I probably am.

Wings of Fire 11-01-2011 08:23 AM

Seriously. If a thirty second anime clip which is pretty obviously a shout out to Chuck Jones (Loony Tunes) style visual gags makes you want to explode with anger then how are you going to deal with real life?

STM 11-01-2011 10:01 AM

Actually, I thought that was quite cute. What the fuck have you done to me Joe?

DarkHoodness 11-01-2011 10:19 AM

I'll just leave this here and see what people's reactions are...

Wait is that real? I fucking want one!

Aww, it's not actually GM, shame.

MeechMunchie 11-01-2011 12:11 PM

STM 11-01-2011 12:16 PM

SHIIII, lol, I need to find £2

Dynamithix 11-01-2011 01:42 PM

I'd buy it if it was half price on Xbox Live.
