The Wolfman. It was okay.
I found it funny how involved his transformation process was only to end up looking like a guy in a cheap costume. All the complex, CG rendering seemed for nought when you saw the final result. Other than that, my only major complaints are the uneven pacing and the forgettable performances given by the cast, despite consisting largely of big name actors. Hugo Weaving was pretty much just Elrond with muttonchops. It gets points however for being bloodier than I expected, and for pulling something together after a serious clusterfuck of a post-production. Dad recommended The Fourth Kind. I've heard mixed reviews, and his taste in films is pretty hit and miss. I'll give it a try and get back to you. |
Farthing Wood, good series, but the ending pissed me off. Another unfit leader...psh it's all about who you know. |
The third season was so weak compared to the second.
|
I first read it as "Farting Wood".

Doctor Who finale was almost epic. A good watch.

Why won't Pixar work with him? Disney is his biggest affiliate over here.
|
...
Pixar = Disney, in case you've forgotten. The better question is why would he come to Pixar when he has his own studio and seems to be quite happy making films his own way. |

|
Oh. I see now.
My second point still stands though. |
I have to say that, in my opinon, a CGI Miyazaki film would lack the magic of his traditionally animated films.
|

|
I also think that it's a shame that hand-drawn cartoons are becoming so rare too.
|
Exactly. Miyazaki is quite possibly the last, true, big-budgeted cartoonist out there that hasn't just resorted to CG. Pixar is great and everything, but Miyazaki putting down the pencil and picking up the mouse would pretty much validate the finality that hand-drawn animation is dead.

Some of you may wet your pants at this:
http://www.gametrailers.com/video/ja...no-kuni/701065 It's an upcoming game made by the guys who made Dr. Layton, but it is entirely animated by Studio Ghibli. Looks pretty cool. |
Nate showed me.
I jizzed. I love Level 5. |
Surrogates, was alright.
|
I liked it more than you.
Shutter Island. It was boring and predictable and just reminded me of how fucking ugly Leonardo DiCaprio actually is. |
I disliked Shutter Island more than you.
|
Disney as a whole can blow me, Don bluth is America's best animator and even he's pretty hit-or-miss. When it comes to animated films...
England > Japan > America |
What has England done?
Turtles Can Fly. Loved it, but not quite sure about it. |
What has England done?? O.o Come on brah, they've only given us: Watership Down, Plague Dogs, When the Wind Blows, The Snowman and The Hobbit. IDK I always found English cartoons to be endearing and the most genuine but that's just me...
Oh and did you guys here about that 3D, CGI remake of Watership Down with Hugh Jackman as a voice actor? Yeah there really is no such thing as god. |
I'm surprised Ralph Bakshi hasn't been mentioned.
That Ghibli videogame's got some great environments. The creature/character design is pretty meh though. Looks like Pokemon. :
|
We don't talk about Rankin/Bass
|
They call me Heat Miser.
|
Oh Rankin/Bass, their animation always looked nice.
|
I actually find their animation kind of off-putting, something about it. Dunno. Their animation (I'm strictly speaking about their cel animation and not the stop-motion) had that trademark anime stiffness due to the japanese animators they worked with on almost everything they made.
Thundercats, HOOOOOOOO! As to you, Joe, I much prefer Down To Goblin Town... At least it's actually based on lyrics written by Tolkien. |
Oh Rankin/Bass made this? I taped this off TV one year and watch it every Christmas.
This is the kind of Rankin/Bass animation I like, I hate their stop motion stuff like Jack Frost and all that. |
