Re: Remakes! Remakes! Read all about 'em!
If you want to get technical Xanadu was a remake of 1947's Down to Earth with Rita Hayworth and James Gleason. But you're exactly right about the children of the 80s growing up and getting all nostalgic about their childhoods. Where there is nostalgia there is money to be made. Think of all the othe...

Re: Remakes! Remakes! Read all about 'em!
In response to those quotes, it is only about money. Bigwigs don't really care if people are having a good time. They just want people to open their wallets and let the cash flow out. I think people continue to go to the movies, because they keep hoping the next movie to have something new or be the...

Re: Great Scott! Back to the Future Blu-rays!
I wonder how the trilogy would be viewed today if they had kept Eric Stolz. Would it be one of those bad 80s movies that you love to hate or would it have fallen into relative obscurity? It probably would not have been spawned the two sequels. Maybe someone could build an actual time machine with a ...

Re: Anime Decline... Japanese Industry in Big Trouble!
But what can we do? There's only so much we can demand from these companies. It is true that they want to please the fans, but their main purpose is to make a buck. I know that a lot of American cartoons from the 60s and 70s were outsourced, i.e. Hanna Barbara, and many people look back fondly on th...

Re: "Walt Disney Treasures 2010"? - Disney Documentaries
While not a DVD, but in the same vein as many of these documentaries, the graphic novel Whatever Happened to the World of Tomorrow by Brian Fieso takes a look at Walt's ventures into building the perfect, futuristic society. It explains how he hired nuclear scientists and other professionals to help...

Re: What animated movies were animated by one person?
Voices of a Different Star (2002) was done entirely by Makoto Shinkai on a Mac.
One can almost argue that Lotte Reiniger's The Adventures of Prince Achmed (Die Abenteuer das Prinzen Achmed, 1926) was done entirely by herself. She did a lot of her silhouette animation herself.
