Roger Rabbit comes to Keyframe at last

[athena]

How did I know this would be one of the first ones to go up? :D

[starlac]

I wonder who did that? :innocent:

hehe. that's why I did 'Bedknobs and Broomsticks' as my test profile. ;)

Which made me a happy bunny (if you excuse the pun).:lol:
I had to lower the of-interest picture's quality right down to make it a reasonable size kb wise.

Oh, I also lightened the of-interest image after seeing your comment.

I was just wondering, Athena - you said WFRR was on your 'to see' list of DVDs. Does that mean you haven't seen it at all, or you just haven't seen it pn DVD? If the former is true, on the one hand I envy you the experience of seeing it for the first time; on the other I feel sad you didn't see it when it represented a revolution. Just remember, in any case, this is all old-school, 80,000 hand-drawn animation cels. The only computer involvement was George Lucas's unit who added shading.

Did I? I don't recall...
Anyways, I have seen it. I saw it in the theatres and in fact remember being surprised that it was rated 'M' in Canada.

Now all we gotta do is find somewhere to stick space-ace and dragon's lair....



btw, mary poppins and osmosis jones?

Er... does mary poppins count?
It's mostly live action...
But then
I think the deciding factor should be,
is the animation supposed to look like it's real, or is it supposed to look like it's animation,
Because a LOT of movies contain a huge ton of 'animation' but the animated characters are supposed to look like flesh and bone and you and me ;)
Whereas (for example) mary poppins has animation that's supposed to look like a cartoon...
WHEE!

[starlac]

Argh... Laser disc games... :barf:... Although wasn't Dragon's Lair turned into a TV series or something.

Mary Poppins is on my (very long) list of profiles to add, though it's probably on athena's list too. At the moment I'm trying to work on those in the "I don't believe you don't have" thread. The hold up on Mary Poppins on my end is trying to find a copy, which I thought I had.

Osmosis Jones is currently on Keyframe in the feature section. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it snaps back from one medium to the other and never combines the two, I could be wrong considering I've never seen it.

We kind of settled on animation that can't be mistaken for/pretending to be, reality.

Good point. I'll move it.

Say, what about Dinosaur and LOTR? I've heard that Dinosaur has live-action backgrounds, which is why Disney considers Chicken Little their first CGI movie, and LOTR has live-action footage tinted to look like drawings (or is that just heavy rotoscoping?)

[starlac]

Yes all the backgrounds in Dinosaur are real locations, the documentaries that came with the DVD even show the crew filming the locations, then they put integrated the CGI over the top, so I suppose it should go in the part live-action section.

Lord of the Rings just employs heavy rotoscoping, although it does have a barely Disguised live action bit for the first four minutes of its run, hardly enough to move it in my eyes.

I'm trying to work out where to put The Water Babies, it's got both animation and live action elements, though usually it doesn't really combine the two, outside of a few, very brief moments. The film itself is alsolutely terrible, in fact I would go so far as to say it is one of the worse films I've ever seen.

Ah, right. I was going by the Stomp Tokyo review:

'Finally, all the orcs and most of the Riders of Rohan are portrayed by live actors wearing Halloween costumes and tunics. The resulting image was then merely tinted. In one color! As Chris' wife noted, "There are fifteen different kinds of animation in this movie -- and they all suck."'

I suppose you could make a case for putting any live-action "bookended" movies like Pagemaster and The Phantom Tollbooth in the PLA section.

Even worse then Cool World ?

[starlac]

If not as bad as Cool World, then it's a close second. Both are on my list of "must try to avoid watching ever again" films.

EDIT: Oh Monkeyfunk, could I use the picture you have of it on your website?

[lupercal]

There's also the question, which may become more significant as the section expeands, of do we distinguish between part live action feature films and part live action shorts? i.e., taking just one filmaker does 'The Flat' belong in the same category as 'Alice'?, and if it does, should feature films be flagged as such, or something?

Sure, although tht picture's taken from the DVD cover.
