Actually, I agree with you. I don't particularly like the term, and frankly it's an unnecessary term that shouldn't be there but it is there. By it's definition every anthro is a furry, but I hate it because of how derogatory it is. It's slowly turning anthropomorphic characters into some sort of taboo. And frankly, the furry culture isn't helping matters much. I'm not a fan of people who are obsessed with anthro characters. I can definitely see why people dislike that culture. People can like what they want, but becoming obsessed with it to the point of dressing yourself in cat ears, fur, etc. is disturbing and does nothing to aid the image or reputation of anthropomorphic characters themselves.
Yeah, because by that definition, everyone who likes Mickey Mouse are weird perverts.
Also, this reminds me of a hilarious quote from The Penal Zone; "You wouldn't believe how many fetishes there are that involve me and Sam"
See, what Fawful's talking about? Those are worse than the plague. If I had a choice between going to a Furry Convention or hanging out in a zombie infested Detroit, I'd pick Detroit. Furries, in essence, ruin furries. Yes, that makes sense. No, I won't explain it.
Related only tangentially to this thread - When can I get a George Romero directed animated zombie series? I want one.

You say that as if a zombie infested Detroit is a bad place to be.
Are you telling me that the vast majority of the audience for a Winnie the Pooh flick directly intersects with the audience for a Harry Potter film, and that them running side-by-side is a detriment to Pooh?
I can tell you this Rather Dashing, that Disney's marketing doesnt give a damn about 2D animation seeing how this sounds like they are messing things up yet again. I think I might go see tangled, I'll make a video about my thoughts on it if I ever see it that is.
Yeah, I know. That's what I said. Real shame too, considering that it could have been done the style of that Beatles Rock Band intro
That art style reminds me of the Gorillaz music videos. It would be cool to see a new beatle cartoon with that art style
As for Tintin with motion capture. I can tell you that I have lost all my respect for Speilberg and the project completely. Out of all the things that he had to make TinTin with, why the hell did it have to be motion capture? Speilberg could have saved 2D animation with Tintin....Now I'm going to pretend that this along with motion captured Fone Bone never even happened. And its about time I find people who dislike Avatar. That movie isnt even worth my time or anyone's time. I'll said this before and I'll say it again. Avatar is Ferngully and Pocahontas with Sci-fi crap.
I couldnt sit through el superbeasto...I should have mentioned that I hate ren and stimpy. And el superbeasto CLEARLY looks like the spumco guys did this.

What? No he couldn't have. He never planned to make Tintin with 2D animation; Spielberg was originally going to make it live action until Peter Jackson convinced him to use mo-cap.

I think live-action would have been well decent, even though I'm not much of a fan of motion capture. But I do like the use of it for golum.
I couldnt sit through el superbeasto...I should have mentioned that I hate ren and stimpy. And el superbeasto CLEARLY looks like the spumco guys did this.
Nope, it's not Spumco. It has nothing to do with Spumco. It doesn't even resemble Spumco; the animation looks more like Spongebob, which is more detailed than most cartoons, but not as detailed as Spumco cartoons, while the humor felt more like Drawn Together rather than Ren and Stimpy.
Frankly, I liked the animation of El Superbeasto, though I hated the writing. While some jokes are funny, there was no character development and no climax. It's a shame, considering that I actually like the original comic.
Well, here's hoping that future animated zombie films are better.
Also, the Tintin movie would have been better using non-mo-cap 3D. I'd say 2D, but it's been done.
That art style reminds me of the Gorillaz music videos. It would be cool to see a new beatle cartoon with that art style.
That's because they're by the same animation studio, Passion Pictures.
And its about time I find people who dislike Avatar. That movie isnt even worth my time or anyone's time. I'll said this before and I'll say it again. Avatar is Ferngully and Pocahontas with Sci-fi crap.
Really? The vast majority of my friends didn't like Avatar.
I need to watch El Superbeasto again before judging what I gotta say about it on here, anyways Zombie didnt do the script for the beasto film did he? That could be a reason why it sounds like it didnt make any sense. And Doctor Cello I know a lot of people who praise Avatar, it just makes twilight look like a hero.

If you don't like the first few minutes of it, don't bother. The whole movie's like that, basically. Also, Zombie wrote it, as well as the comic book it was based on.
I wonder, if people hadn't meddled with Bakshi's idea of Cool World, would it not have been a total disaster? I mean when I heard it was supposed to be an R-rated horror, I was all "well, that would have made more sense."
Huh? I'm making a hypothetical thought: "if they had gone through with how Bakshi wanted the movie, would it not have been a terrible movie?" I'm not talking about disaster as in how much money it made, because I have no idea how much money it made.
Actually, I thought that the final idea; a man got sucked into the world he imagined, would have made a pretty good Ralph Bakshi film. But then it came out, and it kinda sucked.
What's Ralph Bakshi up to these days in animation?
PS. this is a good article that details the history of how Bakshi's idea of Cool World was slowly destroyed.
Basinger told Bakshi that she'd really like to be able to show the film to sick children in hospitals.
oh
That is just wrong. But somehow, it makes sense.
I watched Cool World as a kid, and I love it. About 10 years later, a learned, wise me found a DVD release of it, and hated it. I hated it, and I hated younger me for ever liking it. I respected Gabriel Byrne for apparently running away from the studio before they could finish the last scene (if you recall, the last scene basically had him being replaced by a cartoon superhero). This is probably not true, but I like to think it is.
When I watched Who Framed Roger Rabbit when I was a kid, however, I was terrified of it. Seeing Doc Brown murdering a cartoon shoe made me question my faith to Back To The Future. Then, about 5 years later, I managed to see it again (I forgot how. TV, I think) And I started loving it. Then finally, years later, I bought a copy of the DVD, and loved it even more.
I don't get it, is this a softcore porno? A horror? A terrible Scary-Movie-like comedy? ALL OF THE ABOVE? What is being marketed here?
It's a really bad softcore porno. I'm not sure if it was supposed to be a spoof but because it is a porno it probably was. The toon(singular) is very badly done and has very little screen time. It also has terrible pacing for a straight-up porn.
What's Ralph Bakshi up to these days in animation?
As far as I know, Ralph Bakshi was going to do a film called Last Days Of Coney Island{Although I heard he's doing it independently}. Nothing new of the film has come out of it, but I was on the bakshi site and Bakshi stated that he wanted Charles Adler project. I think Charles Adler and Bakshi were good friends since I noticed that he's in a few of Bakshi's works. I heard somewhere that he's doing a script for a sequel to his film Wizards along with a live-action remake of Fire and Ice with the director behind Pulp Fiction. Tarinto was his name right?
PS. this is a good article that details the history of how Bakshi's idea of Cool World was slowly destroyed.
Cool world just proves to me that you shouldn't do your animation in the business, they can change it without your permission into something it isnt. I know a few people who arent Bakshi fans feel very sorry for Ralph and how Cool world got butchered to death. If I was in charge of the studio, I would allow Bakshi to do it his way. I may dislike Cool world, but Roger Rabbit is far better than Cool world in my own view. Roger has a story, Cool world doesnt and its like an acid trip that tries to make sense but in real life it doesn't. A live-action/2D R rated film is something that is in need of a serious calling since all of these live-action/CG films are getting out of hand(I'm shooting you down you crappy shitmunks!). The only two things good about cool world is the animation and the music of the film.
Damn it. And I thought I got away from that film. I remember seeing that and I was furious about it. They tried to do something different for the hybrids, but they ended up sucking so much that it makes Dora the explorer look like a hero of the animation on how much its sucking these days.Also there's out of Jimmy's head. which in my own view is an insult. To not only Disney, but its the perfect sum of on how cool world was "Roger Rabbit on acid". Funny thing since OFJH was created by a former Disney animator, go figure. :rolleyes:
Is it sad that I kind of want to see Evil Toons just to see if it ranks up there with the worst movies of all time that I've seen? Although nothing will ever top the badness of The Secret of NIMH 2 for me. That movie is pure shit in a can.
Don't worry, I'm a fan of terrible movies too and I would totally see Evil Toons if I had the chance. I only saw little bits and pieces of NIMH 2 but I was like 8 or something and didn't realize what was so bad about it, maybe I should see it in its entirety now. Is it at least a good terrible movie? As in "this is so bad it's funny" or just "this is so bad I want to kill myself/fall asleep."
"this is so bad I want to kill myself/fall asleep."
NIMH 2 is this. Definitely this. It will make you stare at your screen in slack-jawed horror, unable to believe your eyes, just the from the first time you see the animation. It looks like a gorram Zelda CD-i game made in Flash! If you've seen the first movie don't taint your impression of it with this shit unless you really are a glutton for punishment. Wait until January when the Nostalgia Critic reviews it or something if you want to see it, but don't watch it in it's entirety. It will make you want to drop a bomb on humanity.
I watched it with a friend who also enjoys riffing bad movies, and we were at a loss to find ways to riff on the piece of awful dog shit. It was so bad it literally depleted our humor meters. I challenge anybody to find a movie I would rate lower than this eldritch abomination.
I remember hearing ALOT of bad things about Nimh 2, and even from the people who worked on the first film surprisingly. The people who worked on the film who saw it said it was a bit too dark compared to the original feature. Weird that Don bluth was asked to do a sequel to this, but despite being interested in doing so he was busy with Anastasia.
I just saw Tangled, and guess what? I don't hate it.
I mean, it delivered some laughs, I like how Rapunzel is actually NOT a helpless damsel in distress, and while the songs tend to annoy a bit, I'd prefer it over gratuitous dance scenes that Dreamworks apparently think is essential. Though, in the end, it's nothing groundbreaking.
Also, did any of you watch the Community Christmas Special? I loved it.

Not yet.

Anyone know if this is going to be given the theatrical treatment? This looks great, it better not get onto Direct-to-DVD like El superbeasto did.
Speaking of which. Has anyone seen The Haunted World of El Superbeasto? I havent watched it in awhile, but I remember being mixed on it.
What? No he couldn't have. He never planned to make Tintin with 2D animation; Spielberg was originally going to make it live action until Peter Jackson convinced him to use mo-cap.

The more you develop--STRIKE MR. ANDO, STRIKE!
I wonder if it'll feel the same as my pre-teen days of stupidly browsing Newgrounds, nightmares included?
