Well, I was in my retailer today and was heartened to hear a young kid say to her parent that she didn't want any of the Aladdin sequels, Lion King 2 or 3 or Mulan II? When asked "why not?" by the parent, she said it wasn't "a one", which I thought was really cute. "A one?" asked the parent. "Yeah,...

I love the animation... it just flows so beautifully... almost CGI-like... in a good way that is. I can't wait to see it. I hope it will be a break-out hit.

sure some of those are good. Unfortunately none were hits. What I meant to say was that no major filmstudio was capable of establishing a succesful traditional animation division. However Fox, WB, DW and Pixar are all succesful in CG animation. While Disney, who has been succesful in traditional ani...

I recall a story that one of my friends told in the classroom about The Little Mermaid. Apparently, a girl was leaning extra close to her television, because she was somewhat deaf (I don't know exactly how to put it). Anyway, she heard something in one of the songs concerning rape. Anyone know anyt...

ah, we'll make him do it

yeah, people need to stop defending him. Like when people say it wasn't his fault traditional animation is gone. Well, newsflash: IT IS. What? You mean that Eisner forced Warner Bros. and DreamWorks to quit traditional animation? That tyrant! unfortunately nobody really cared about their traditiona...

yeah, people need to stop defending him. Like when people say it wasn't his fault traditional animation is gone. Well, newsflash: IT IS. He's the CEO of the friggin' company and wether he gave the final word or not, he didn't do anything to stop all those animators from being fired or desks from bei...

Thanks a LOT for posting. The images looks really clean. Looks like a great restoration job.

Nah, you're right. I don't think there are any images available yet of the final restored print. If so then it doesn't look very good at all

On to Patrick and George's discussion: I largely agree with you both, and had another point in a similar vein to make at the Cars trailer. OF COURSE we can base our opinions of an upcoming film on its trailer - that is the POINT of a trailer. If it doesn't work, then the film will flop. It's easy t...

Who killed traditional animation? Well, let's ask the people who went to see Ice Age instead of Sinbad, Treasure Planet, and Home on the Range. And even the gross of a moderate hit like Brother Bear failed to impress the studios when compared to the $200+ that Pixar's and DreamWorks' films were mak...

Everyone wants Chicken Little to bomb? Since when? Since Eisner murdered traditional animation :roll: A lot of people are still upset over the mess they made at WDFA. But let me state my opinion better. I said part of me wants it to bomb because I am so pissed over the reason why they've suddenly s...

Part of me wants Chicken Little to be the bad film everyone wants it to be and bomb.... but I have a feeling Chicken Little will be the hit Disney hopes it will be. It has that thing that their traditional features were missing: lightheartedness, just simple and fun, no big nonsense. Therefore Madag...

Some comparison shots :) Overall... I don't know what to make of it :lol: http://disney.jbug.net/Gallery/c05/p23.jpg http://www.justinwilliams.co.uk/tobedeleted/bambi2.jpg http://disney.jbug.net/Gallery/c05/p36.jpg http://www.justinwilliams.co.uk/tobedeleted/bambi5.jpg http://disney.jbug.net/Gallery...

Shame you had to compress them so much to upload them - it does take away a bit from having a look at how it will turn out. Glad to see they've not wiped out the grain completely - Bambi was shot on different stock to the usual Disney features to give it a deeper, darker look in order to get the lo...
