Re: The state and future of animation
Why is Japanese animation so popular, despite that country being where most American animation was outsourced to four decades ago? Four decades ago, when Starblazers was on local stations, I asked that same question. Three-and-a-half decades ago, I took a wrong turn at a gaming convention and saw t...

Re: The DOCTOR WHO Thread
Meanwhile, on the Classic front: Those who haven't been able to watch the nearly-complete Classic Who on Britbox in the US can now catch the Classic episodes, organized by Doctor era collection, free-with-ads on TubiTV-- Or, for those starting out, a sampler collection of two or three best story arc...

Re: Disney Pixar's Turning Red
More like "So it isn't a total loss...", for those who never had D+, and to make them "official" theatrical movies, even though most of them are on disc now. Still, it's the same problem when Fantasia 2000 opened in regular theaters in June '00: Everyone had knocked themselves out seeing it in the I...

Re: Into, Across and Beyond the Spider-Verse
Review for Across the Spider-Verse is up! https://animatedviews.com/2023/spider-man-across-the-spider-verse/ Bumping this one after six months, now that it's on Netflix: (Just think, we used to have to pay to rent last summer's movies we missed in theaters!) I agree, there's too much filler--Maybe ...

Re: Marvel Cinematic Universe
And marvels opens to $47m. Again, many movies would love to open to that, but this is an mcu film. This is really low for them! It's down there with incredible hulk and inhumans the movie! There was an Inhumans MOVIE, or was it just distributed theatrically overseas? (Unless you meant Eternals, and...

Re: Disney's Wish
Sorry to hear Wish is terrible, but then I wasn’t really expecting otherwise. I just don't think Jennifer Lee is the person to be running Disney… Could have done so much more for a proper 100th anniversary movie. From the start, Wish just sounded so insipid! I know I Cassandra'ed this earlier on, b...

Re: Disney's Wish
Soul, Turning Red, Lightyear, the last six MCU, Strange World, Encanto, Artemis Fowl... Despite my loyalty for getting folks back in to the theaters, I just haven't been having much luck with the Disney movies I passed on and waited for D+ instead. They tend to confirm my better judgment. (Well, oka...

Re: New Disney Streaming Service: Disney+
Oo, is "Christmas with Walt Disney" another rare 50s-60s special from the Archive, or just D+'s own thrown-together cash-in?
I dare not hope they finally dug up Walt's Peter Pan Christmas-special that never appeared on the discs like the Alice special did.

Re: Oral history for 30th anniversary of We’re Back!
We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story has a great *look* to it, but the film goes nowhere! It is, however, completely batty, random and nonsensical that it’s kind of loveable for those reasons. This was early-90s, back before Spielberg and Katzenberg got together to make more DreamWorks Lion King clones, ...

Re: WB Archive Collection: Discs On Demand!
Hahahaha…"semi-classic". Night At The Opera and Day At The Races are considered the apex of their MGMs, with (slightly) more coherent plots than even their gag-based Paramounts. So the Marxes is a must — one of their best — (Groucho gives Margaret Dumont a horse pill) Lawyer: "Isn't that a little l...

Re: Garfield
One Twitter user pointed out a rather notable point about 20's animateds: https://twitter.com/TheRealJimsYT/status/1724110710651728054 Just like Mario before, Chris Pratt's Garfield also has daddy issues. How hard was it to make a story about Garfield, Odie, and Jon? Why should anyone care about Gar...
