Live-action..? Bah, there goes half my interest in JCoM, already.

It could've been an absolutely 'kick-butt' animated pulp-adventure film.

No mention whatsoever of John Carter of Mars ..? :? I had heard that was in the early story stages .. but I guess I either heard 'wrong', or it's so early in development that they haven't yet given it even a 'tentative' release date. ---------------- I'm really a bit surprised by the Cars 'hate' tha...

Mo-cap is a very sophisticated & roundabout 'cousin' of puppeteering. So, yes. IMO, it can be categorized as animation. ** After all, in it's rawest definition, the word 'animation' means to give something the appearance of life. :idea: ---------- ** This doesn't mean I consider mo-cap to be a 'good...

I'm very pleased to see Tiny Toon Adventures coming to DVD, at last! :D I was in college when the series was originally broadcast .. but I never missed an episode (I still have most of the series in 'taped-off-the-air' VHS cassettes .. which, it seems, can finally be 'retired'). I'm hoping the Chris...

Here's hoping that someone at Paramount will find a way to 'shoehorn' the original 1979 cut of Star Trek: The Motion Picture into that set. I was working at Foundation Imaging when the "Director's Cut" was being produced there, and I actively avoided working on it, because I couldn't stand the fact ...

Having worked directly with motion-capture technology myself, on a variety of projects (with both 'good' results, and 'bad') .. I was prepared to offer some of my own viewpoints, based on my experiences. Until I clicked into the thread, and saw that the first poster's mind was already vehemently mad...

I've always been a 'sucker' for stories featuring Mice Doing Decidedly Un-Mouse-like Things .. :P Along with the aforementioned Redwall book/TV series, fans of this 'genre' (?) should check out the graphic-novel series Mouse Guard [/i], as well. Though (IMO), MG has a lot more 'going' for it in its ...

And here I have the last two seasons still in shrinkwrap, and I paid through the nose. At least they each have a bonus disc. **looks at shelf containing forty individual Star Trek - TOS DVDs, with two episodes on each disc** **looks away nervously, whistling .. trying not to think about how much mo...

I finally saw it .. I love the 'visuals' of this movie. The art-direction, the design/color stylings, the models, the layouts and composition, the character & effects animation .. all of this was absolutely superb, gorgeous, and thoroughly in the spirit of the works of Dr. Seuss (with perhaps the so...

I honestly don't see The Incredibles influence many folks seem to be on about. The character design of the girl..? Maybe, somewhat .. but I see no more/less of a resembance than was seen in, say, Meet The Robinsons : http://yafh.com/image/4eb9714d-Ginormica_IncRob.jpg The rest of what I've seen (thu...

Just got through watching all 20 episodes of The Pebbles & Bamm-Bamm Show .. it was a real 'kick' to see these again; despite the cringing 'awfulness' of some of the plot-lines (my childhood mind was apparently either highly-forgiving, or hopelessly naive .. perhaps, both) :lol: The main down-side -...

I'll be buying Enchanted on both DVD and Blu-Ray .. ATM, I only have Blu-Ray at home; buying the DVD as well ensures that I'll also be able to view it at work, or on my laptop. And (in my case) it's all 'tax-deductible', anyway. :P At least, now I know to buy the DVD first, and to save the Blu-Ray p...

I've had the privilege during the past 13 years to work for, and with, some of the visual-effects artists & craftsmen who'd worked on The Rocketeer film. And, thanks to those connections, I'd managed to obtain very nice replicas of both the helmet and jacket, made from the original molds & pattern u...

It's been over a year since I've touched this thread (since I like to know as little as possible about a film, before I see it) .. but I simply had to comment on the new trailer, which I've just seen. It is astounding . :shock: From the moment I first saw the opening titles for Toy Story 2 , I've ho...

:( :( :( The Rocketeer comic-book was a huge influence on me at the 'golden' age of 12. Though I now know it was largely derivative of 1930's pulp film/magazine serials, it was 'all-new' to me at the time, and as Cliff Secord's story slowly unfolded throughout the 1980's, Stevens' comic inspired me ...
