Yes, all those things you point out look different, but the difference are not major.

One other error in the reportage Ive seen: someone mentioned Lady Jaye in connection with RESOLUTE. Lady Jaye is not actually in RESOLUTE. Scarlett is the female lead on the Joe side of the story, I guess, although there is another female character on the new Joe team with a significant role. Two probably-beloved characters die in the first five minutes. Snake-Eyes gets to impale someone while travelling at a hundred miles an hour. Cobra Commander isnt very funny any more. Although, really, given that his uniform includes wearing a bag over his head, there are limits to how unfunny he can be at any given time.

We're not talking about 3D, we're talking about 2D. Though I have things to say about 3D.
This is difference I'm talking about, what your showing me is small difference.

Tak do you think this looks similar in style to 1928 animation?

Blame it on them sterilizing every cartoon and overcharging out the ASS for it.shuri said:blame it on piracy.
You might be right. I don't have anything to backup my original claim, just what I observe. However, my claim is based on the fact that I see a lot people group all major 2D animation movies together, and I think the art style is the main reason why. People have come to associate feel good, always happy ending children movies with the Disney art style. They know what to expect when they see the Disney art style, so they don't see it as anything new (ie they're bored).Duck Amuck said:You have a point, but you argued that the reason people got bored of 2d cartoons was because of this very fact. I think it's something the average person doesn't really think about.
Yes, I do. I do animation as a hobby. I spent a half year on one hand drawn animation project for a animation class long ago and the animation only lasted a minute. I do mostly 3D stuff now a days, but that is still pretty hard.Duck Amuck said:I just don't think you're being realistic. It's like complaining "why are live action movies only in color or black and white? I want more!" and not setting your expectations to a reasonable level. I mean, are you actually expecting something that looks like that first painting in 2d animation? Do you realize the work that goes into the *traditional* animation process?

Yeah... I love CG at times, but honestly, there's NOTHING wrong with old-fashioned animation. Nothing at all.madara said:What I heard in Target today had my mouth on floor. Soccer mom in movie section tells her boy to put The Great Mouse Detective back because its "animated" and to get a movie more his age, which seemed to turn out to be Flushed Away. I nearly started crying.
It was perfectly fine and loved for centuries but now that we have cold realistic CG, is the general consensus really this? Its bad enough the game industry is so damn "mature" now you have to use muted gray polys and guns in most epic games out there but I was kinda hoping since anime is still popular that a good 2D film could still happen and make money like CG one?
But it had a CG vehicle in it. Oh noes!Duck Amuck said:Rescuers Down Under was the shit.
HK-47 said:When has Miyazaki ever done that movie? Many of his pictures are quite complex, especially Mononoke and Spirited Away. And with Totoro and Kiki and Ponyo he does something Disney never does. A movie without conflict and danger, just life, however fantastical. Miyazaki never seems to fall back on absolute evil in his movies or clear villians.
Duck Amuck said:I'm just saying that I think it's silly how a good amount of animated works in the west are almost always comedies. You can do the unrealistic without resorting to comedy. This is why I loved Wall-E so much. It WASN'T a comedy.
Since you bring up Miyazaki, what about movies like My Neighbor Totoro, Castle of Cagliostro, or Nausicaa?
The Dark Knight has examples of this technique very subtly put to use.Calcaneus said:Isn't the anime industry dying in America? Last I heard less shows were making it on TV, and its nearly impossible to get good money out of dvd sales if you're not Naruto or Dragonball.
CG stunts in live-action. At least full CGI can still look good, but when out of nowhere you have a CG "stuntman" it looks horribly fake. I've never seen it done well.
Its gonna suck more down the road if this continues. Who's gonna look for the next Jackie Chan, who is a ticking timebomb as far as medical bills go, if the audience doesn't care either way?
