I will be the first to admit that Keyframe's animation database--which is certainly one of the larger ones on the web--is not complete. In a perfect world I would have an army of researchers hunting down every piece of animation that ever existed... but as my army has not arrived yet, I'm going to ask that you help me out by giving me the titles of the animation that isn't on the site yet but which you think should be here.

Think of those pieces of animation that are so essential that no self-respecting database should be without them... think of animation that you really, REALLY want to write a review for--positive reviews or even those ever-fun scathing negative reviews... and then post your suggestions to this thread.

I can't promise I'll be able to put up the animation profile immediately, but it'll certainly help direct my efforts to the stuff that people really want to see on the site.

I'd settle for one good picture that I can crop for the little highlight image. I mean, I'd like to think the fact that I try to get images for all the profiles--animation is such a visual medium after all--is what sets Keyframe apart from places like IMDb or BCDb which just have credit lists.

Lupercal did mention the first one in his Castle of Cagliostro review. Unfortunetly,it will be a problem to get the first and third series. They were never realeased in america. The secound series is easy to obtain, that was the one being shown on Adult Swim. And they are out DVD.However, I do suggest you put Lupin III: Mystery of Mamo on your site. That is a true Lupin III movie. Cagliostro was good, but Lupin and the gang were a bit out of character.

'Steamboy' is a noteworthy ommission from feature films, being the big-budget, 10 years in the making, how-amazing-does-this-look, Patrick Stewart gets to do do a Manchester accent directorial return of the maker of Akira.

In anime series, two generally highly regarded series that probably should be there are Haibane Renmei, and Neon Genesis Evangelion (I haven't seen HR yet, but it's topped a few 'best anime ever' lists, and I have a _hunch_ it's good. If you want to include some more famous representatives of other anime genres, Love Hina is probably as famous as any romantic comedy series, and 'Last Exile' has a good reputation amongst action/adventure. It looks a bit Miyazaki-ish. I haven't seen either of these either, but will get around to it. Parody genre, you have things like FLCL (Fooly Cooly) and Excel Saga , though I found both of these unwatchable or incomprehensible.

There are tons of 60's and 70's TV series that I wasn't able to add because we needed to sort out issues like 'if "Atom Ant" appeared in both 'The Atom Ant Show', and "Secret Squirrel", do you file it under Atom Ant, or its parent show, and if so, which one? There are hordes of series from about 1962-1985, many of which are rubbish, but which were nonetheless popular and well remembered. I only added ones when I was co-editor which were clear-cut standalones (Roger Ramjet, Top Cat, etc).

I have the complete MGM Tex Avery boxed set, the original 1940's Superman, and lots of 1920's Felix the Cats, if anyone wants to add all those :)

There are probably big studio western things I don't even know about, because I'm so bored with 3D I pay less attention to it now that it's not part of the job.

Rainbow Brite is sent to a dark land to save the Rainbow children and some baby. That baby is supposed to be a key to giving color to the land. And the villains were Murky,Lurky and there boss.I forgot his name, but he dies at the end of the pilot episode.

Well really, 'Balto' is nothing like 'Space Jam'. It isn't combined animation/live action; it's an animated film bookended by short live action sequences which take up a few minutes running time. When I think of the movie I tend to forget they're even there. I haven't seen Pagemaster, so can't comment on that.

I'd be tempted to make a special exception for RR, but it's Athena's site, and she's pretty firm on this, and I have to admit my argument would be based more on sentiment than logic.

I said I wouldn't lobby for this, but perhaps there is a solution. Since we've already added a new category recently, we could have a category for combined animated/live films, which you could call 'hybrids' or something, and into which you could stick Roger Rabbit, Mary Poppins, Pete's Dragon, Space Jam, Saludos Amigos, Song of the South et al, plus lots of short films and whatnot.

Just putting this on the table. I won't be crushed if it it's rejected, but I guess what bothers me is that Roger Rabbit is usually considered an animated film by the general public (and video store owners and imdb, etc), that it has more animation in it than most of our short films, that as such it's probably the most important animated film made in the last 60 years, that it ushered in the second golden age of animation, and that we don't have it.

Okay, while I definitely like splitting these 'hybrid' films off into their own section, but my question still remains... what about Jurassic Park? Lord of the Rings? Harry Potter? I mean, all you have to do is check the backlog in this thread to know exactly how much this site is still missing in terms of just plain old animated films and TV series...

My big concern in this has always been where do you draw the line...? Somebody give me a definition that will prevent a small tsunami of films-to-be-added from crushing the animation out of this site, and I'll consider it.

athena
02-25-2006, 06:14 PM
Ooookay, now that you've got me thinking about it... what if we set the line at this:

One or more of the main characters must be entirely animated... and I don't mean, in some scenes when the character is doing something crazy we swap out the live-action actor and substitute an animated character as a stunt double... I mean that character is 100% animated for the entire time it is on screen...

This would allow you to add Roger Rabbit et al. as well as Lord of the Rings (Golem), the Scooby Doo movies and Garfield movie--if we wanted to... but it would prevent additions like Jurassic Park, Spiderman, etc... essentially we're profiling films that feature strong character animation, but leaving out films where the animation present is more in the visual fx category...


how's that sound?

starlac
02-25-2006, 06:16 PM
...where do you draw the line...?

To me it depends on how much of the film plot is geared towards the animated characters, as actual characters, and not just plot points.

Although things like Jurassic Park and Harry Potter use CGI, they're primarily live-action films that use special effects for the enhancement of the story as a whole; not because it makes them animated. These story's main concern is the live-action cast.

Whereas in a film like Roger Rabbit, it is the animated characters who are the center of the film's plot and the main attraction. How many people would have gone to see "Space Jam" if it didn't have the Looney Tunes in it? Certainly I wouldn't have, especially as I didn't really having much of an incline as to who Michael Jordan was in the first place.

Of course this would exclude Marry Poppin's from making the list, as it is mostly live-action with a single (though admittedly quite long) animation segment.

EDIT: Oh okay... you've worked out a system.

This is a good point and it essentially takes what I'm talking about and narrows it slightly... not only are we asking for entirely animated characters but those characters must be lead characters... ones that are intended to carry the entire film.

So, the question becomes... how far do we want to cast our net?

lupercal
02-26-2006, 07:21 AM
I pretty much agree with everything Starlac said about delineating hybrid animation/live films from pure animation.

I'm not sure what I think of the idea that one of the characters has to be a lead character. There loads of scenes in Roger Rabbit which are bursting at the seams with animation, but which don't feature major animated characters.

Personally I don't really regard Golem from LOTR as an animated character, though technically he is. To me is more like the dinosaurs from Jurassic Park - a character which was too hard to do live, so they used a computer, and tried to make it look realistic. I think a useful definition might be that the character has to be depicted as an animated character. At no point in LOTR are we supposed to think that Golem isn't 'real' in the same way as the other characters.

I'm also thinking, what about films like many of Jan Svankmeyer's shorts. He almost never animates characters, but uses stop-animation to animate objects - but the films still clearly announce themselves as animation/live action hybrids, and are usually classed as such. Under the 'central character' definition, I would have to take 'A Game With Stones' out of the database, even though it's 100% animation, because it has no characters at all (unless stones and a faucet count). Admittedly I failed a lot of Jan's shorts because I didn't think they had enough animation vs live action anyway.

I don't have a solution for that OTTOMH - except perhaps that the animation doesn't attempt to disguise itself as something else. So in that respect I like the 'not SFX' description.

The animated underwater/island sequence is basically the film's second act. It takes up slightly less than a third of the movie, and most of that concerns the animals playing football/soccer for some never really fully explained reason.

There loads of scenes in Roger Rabbit which are bursting at the seams with animation, but which don't feature major animated characters.

Although he's not in every scene, the film's primary focus is that of Roger and the events that he finds himself in as a result of his framing.

Personally I don't really regard Golem from LOTR as an animated character, though technically he is.

I’m kind of in two minds about this myself and for much the same reasons.

...animation doesn't attempt to disguise itself as something else.

In such as having to obey the laws of physics or, in the case of a few works, any normality; something which Golem of course does obey to a degree.

I think that's probably the main thing we all agree on here... we're not trying to open the door for FX animation.

I like your idea of animation that isn't pretending to be live action... that brings back "Mary Poppins" and "Bedknobs and Broomsticks" but keeps the site's main focus at the forefront. I think if we go with this I can safely remove my 'has to be a lead character' stipulation.

So, having now bashed this around for a bit, I can live with this definition, if you guys can... also the name, "Live-Action Hybrids"? That work for everyone?

I'm not so sure about the name. 'Live-action hybrids' is ok, but a bit non-intuitive.

'Hybrids' works a bit better for me. It's shorter, though it's still no more intuitive.

One Piece

Codename: Kids Next Door
-I love this show as it’s one of the few out there with a long running without being about some stupid characters doing stupid things that are “funny”(read: just plain stupid). Instead of relying on stupidity for humor it relies on plot; an organization of kids fighting “adult tyranny” such as the episode they travel to the arctic to stop an adult from building weather control machine that would stop schools from having snow days.

Pirates of Dark Water
- I don’t remember much about this one except: I loved it. It never finished. It involved some mysterious “Dark Water”. And it had pirates. Pirates, pirates, pirates!

Invader Zim
- I think most people have heard of this one which is why I was surprised when I didn’t find it on here. Sure, it was cancelled after a relatively short running time due to children having nightmares or something else like that; but really it was hilarious. And I think it’s Jhonen’s funniest work (homicidal maniacs just don’t do it for me).

Features:

Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland
-Based on the genius Winsor Mckay's comic. I think it has it's own merits apart from the comic and has some beautiful backgrounds and...direction, it's not artwork or animation I'm thinking of, hm, I'll just say the director was talented.

Phantom Tollbooth
-I love the book, I love the movie. I loved the way it played with words. It is admittedly bookended by live action, so is Balto, and the real story happens in the animation.

Shorts/Features:

Riki-Tiki-Tavi:
- If I recall it's kind of short for a feature but kind of long for a short film (as I think of them anyway) I don't know where you draw the line so you get that weird / thing up there. Based on a story out of Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Book.

I'd get you screencaps for the ones I have on DVD but I have no clue how to do that. For the ones on VHS I could perhaps photograph the screen? (Oh, and "hybrids" is my vote for the live-action/animated movies so we can get Roger Rabbit in here).

How about just "part live-action"?

'Part Live-Action' , 'Live - Action Hybrids' or 'Live Action - Animation Hybrids' all work ok for me. The only slight pronlem I have with 'Live-action hybrids' is it doesn't actually state what the live action is being hybridised with, though on an animation website, I suppose that should be self-evident. My only problem with 'live action -animation hybrids' os that it's maybe a little long, though it's the most precise.

In a sense 'part live action' helps cover some things like a few of the 40's Disney films which alternated 100% live action with 100% animation, whereas others were RRabit style hybrid live/animation all the way through (e.g. Song of the South isn't really a hybrid or combination so much as animation interspersed with live action)

I like 'part live action' too, the animation part is a given seeing as that is this sites, erm, thing.

I've got the data down and ready for Roger Rabbit, Space Jam, Back in Action, and The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle. I'm trying to find an image of Bongo for "Fun and Fancy Free" but so far only found one for his love interest; which I wouldn't mind using. The film itself isn't great, but it's noteworthy as it was the last time Walt would do the voice of Mickey for a feature film.

EDIT: Just one thing, what do we do with the actors who weren't voices.

One Piece:

Pirate King, Gold Rogers, amasses a huge fortune and hides it at the end of the "Grand Line" (a long stretch of ocean with lots of islands). The treasure is called "One Piece". Before being hung he says that the treasure and the title of "Pirate King" goes to anyone who finds the treasure.

A boy named Rufi (Luffi, Luffy, Luefy, etc.) decides to gather up a crew and go after the treasure and become the Pirate King.


I don't recomend seeing the dub version on television. While I'm not typically a whiney anime fan (or any type of anime fan for that matter) who won't watch a dub 4kids really screwed this one over.
Subtracting plot important lines and replacing them with idiocy, adding lines where there never should have been any, rewriting the music to have goofy little diddies where there should have been a true dramatic moment...you name it, they did it. And that "hip" pirate rap at the beginning of each episode is the most horresndous thing to ever cause your ears to bleed.

Oh, and, yes I did mean the Chuck Jones version of Rikki-Tikki-Tavi.

First of all, you're awesome for taking care of this...


Secondly...

Batman: Mask of the Phantasm -- have this on VHS
Duck Dodgers TV Series -- have this on VHS

I'm still having issues with capturing off VHS--how I long for the simplicity of my old Snappy--so saying I have these on tape and saying I can get them off tape is two different things... I recently got newer copy of Adobe Premiere so I might give that a try, but for the moment I've been making catching up on my code updates and bug fixes my priority...


Jacoob Two-two - if you want, send the images to me and I can do up the profile. I've seen a few episodes and this one definitely has a Canadian streak to it.


Land Before Time sequels – I would make these fairly low priority unless someone requests one in particular... we do mention their existence in the main LBT profile.


I also rented the first volume of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex which I am hoping to watch tomorrow... had planned to tonight, but then got invaded with five minutes notice by the family. :lol:

Oh, heck, I enjoyed that series overall, I just want a chance to sneer publicly at the tense scene where the girl who just rescued two orphans from a freezing river is in critical condition at the hospital for hypothermia. "We've done everything we can, but her body temperature just keeps dropping" says a doctor HOURS later. 'Everything we can' seems to be putting her on a hospital bed convered with a hospital sheet. A SHEET!! Apparently placing a sheet over someone's naked bod is the best the doctors can come up with to warm someone up. Heck, maybe the bed was actually an electric frying pan...

this one is a tough call. i would say the animation is more than just special effect as the characters enter into a video game world, but there arent any "roger rabbits" hopping around in there. Just animated light cycles, tanks, and body armour. you should definitely rewatch the movie if it has been a while. its pretty classic.

I've got one more for you, Athena; Grimm's Fairy Tale Theater. It aired on Nickelodeon back in the late 80s/early 90s. I know it was brought over from Japan by Saban.

RedowlKate
02-01-2007, 11:41 AM
Well, it's probably already been suggested by someone on here, but I'd like to see Sailor Moon added here. It used to be aired on Cartoon Network's Toonami, in with Dragon Ball Z and ReBoot. In other words, back when Toonami was good... So if those series get profiles, then maybe Sailor Moon should get a profile as well...

I just pray to God people review the Subtitled version versus the Dubbed version, otherwise there are going to be a lot of baaad reviews for good ol' Sailor Moon :P

athena
02-01-2007, 12:07 PM
Well I usually can't get a profile up immediately after a request, but in this case I was surprised we didn't have it since I knew I had done a profile for it before. I dug back through all my old versions of Keyframe and found the one I did for it years ago. It still needs a bit of spit and polish... plus there's the question of whether the five Japanese/English sub? versions should be profiled separately from the English dub... I don't know, since I've only ever seen the dub.

Anyways, it's up now.

RedowlKate
02-01-2007, 12:13 PM
Hey Athena, thanks for putting it up, already threw a review at it... :D

I don't think it really matters, though the series had a different name almost every season, it was still the same series basically. The only tricky part is that the English dubbed version didn't include the very last season, which really stunk because that meant the entire series would never be viewed in it's entirity by the American audience...

Either way, it's nice to see it up there... Thanks for being so prompt when you really didn't have to be

You missed two Athena:

Defenders of the Earth
The World of Peter Rabbit and Friends.

I've got one more for you, Athena; Grimm's Fairy Tale Theater.

I should be able to do this: I got what looks like it: 80's anime by Saban titled "Grimm's Fairy Tale Classics" though it has three or four different names on imdb.

The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy

Right, here's what we're going to do for this, the profile for Grim & Evil will turn into The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy and then I'll add Evil Con Carne to the database; the result will be that their both be listed as separate shows. so those who wrote a review for them together might want to re-review them at some future date.

02-01-2007, 02:18 PM
I don't think it really matters, though the series had a different name almost every season, it was still the same series basically.

Okay, I'll leave it as is. This is an on-going issue for us on how to classify different pieces of animation and anime gets really tricky because frequently the English dub version bears little resemblance to its subtitled counterpart. I'm just trying to avoid situations where one set of reviewers are trashing the dub version while another set are singing the praises of the original. You end with a fairly schitzophernic review set and not a particularly accurate star-rating. On the other hand, it could get really confusing to have a separately profiled subtitled and dub.

...
It's not clear, though, what I do with any images that I make to get them added to profiles.

Well I think the other editors would probably agree that screencapping is usually where we bottleneck in terms of getting these profiles up. I don't like putting up profiles without images because I think even one image provides a huge amount of information as to what a piece of animation is about.

If you've got caps you're willing to give us, I'd advise creating a thread in the appropriate forum with the title of the animation and then attaching the images to the message.


thanks! :D

Inkwolf
03-24-2007, 06:55 PM
Actually, where I bottleneck is finding the 1+hour it usually takes me to physically put the profile on. I've generally got a bunch of prepared screen caps waiting for me to get around to them. :p


If anyone's curious, I currently have screen caps ready and waiting for:
Shamanic Princess
Sister Princess
IGPX
K.O. Beast

I also have discs standing by or ordered for:
Robin Hood: Quest for the King (CGI thingy, not Disney)
Ranma 1/3
Bobby's World
Moeyo Ken TV
Rune Soldier
Spiral
Blue Seed

And on my list for as soon as I've caught up are:

Witch Hunter Robin
FTPD: Fairy Tale Police Department
Scrapped Princess

And if I can get hold of them before Easter:
Here comes Peter Cottontail (classic version)
Here comes Peter Cottontail: The Movie
It's the Easter Beagle Charlie Brown!
The Velveteen Rabbit

I'm afraid I don't look at the wish list much...I always have a backlog. :( There's just more anime out there than I can ever process, so I concentrate on what I can easily get my paws on.

(Inkwolf would like to state that the number of items listed with 'Princess' in the title is purely coincidental.)

athena
03-24-2007, 07:28 PM
I'd offer to help put up those profiles, but having not seen those anime at all--and usually being baffled by anime in general--I probably wouldn't be much help.

I've been keeping an eye on the wishlist as much as I can, but given that I'm getting my rentals through this online thingy, I never really know from week to week what's going to come through my mail slot. Apparently I have "Fantastic Four - The Complete Series" arriving on Monday.


Ink, I wouldn't worry too much about the wishlist... I think both Starlac and I are picking away at it slowly. Considering you've been picking away at the mountain of unprofiled anime out there, I think you've probably got the harder task. ;)

Inkwolf
03-24-2007, 07:41 PM
Heh, I'm having fun, though! And I occasionally find it baffling, too.

I always debate with myself whether it's 'fair' to make a profile using images from a trailer when I haven't seen the actual anime.

What a pity some of those anime companies don't start offering us free discs to make my job easier. Oh, well, at least I get the ADV ADVocates disc through my job at the library now. Free preview episodes and trailers, and I'll make sure they get put up here. (Hey you other anime companies: hint, hint!) :D

Ok -- I can do that. I currently have about 1100 wallpapers (1280x1024) for the Incredibles that I created for my computer, as well as 1300 wallpapers (1280x800) for Nightmare Before Christmas and another 4000 wallpapers (1280x800) for Corpse Bride so I figure that I can find 20 or so shots from each film to shrink down and make available.

Inkwolf, you could maybe profile 'Love Hina'. I bought it about 18 months ago, and I'm gonna watch it one day, honest. I just got burned out on anime romances after 'Please Teacher', which I thought was pretty dumb. Oh yeah... I watched... what is it.... Steel Angel Kurumi? I didn't think it's all that great, but I've seen it. Anyway after those two I just needed not to watch anime romances - unless someone can find me a copy of 'Butt Attack Punisher Girl Gotaman', which I just have to see, because it's the most ludicrous concept for anything I've ever heard of (though 'Noiseman Sound Insect' comes close. Whatever the hell that's about)

In other areas, some more non-WB theatrical shorts would be good.

TV series: how about someone picking up my project of listing the HB shows/shorts

e.g.

Lippy the Lion and Har Dee Har Har
Touche Turtle
It's the Wolf
Motormouse and Autocat
Huckleberry Hound
Quick Draw McGraw
The Arabian Knights


And all that awful Filmation stuff - I think I only added Lassie's Rescue Rangers - but how about some real junk like 'Laverne and Shirley meet the Fonz and Mork and Mindy' or whatever the hell it was called (actually I think that one was HB) - possibly the most utterly ridiculous cartoon series of all time.

Or, you know, the animated series of 'The Towering Inferno' (yes, I made that up, but I'm almost amazed Filmation or HB didn't actually make it)

More stuff from Soyuzmultfilm, Svankmajer and polish animation shorts.

More Australian stuff (well, hell, I guess that would be down to me)

A lot of English TV series recently.

More Brothers Quay (I would have done this myself, but I couldn't find any screenshots on the web, and I didn't have a DVD drive back then)

Oh - and I have an anime series gathering dust called 'Those Who Hunt Elves'. Haven't watched it yet.

Some Pupetoons stuff? It gives the creeps, and it's awful, but it was made.

Loads of TV animation from the late 50's onwards.

In fact I was planning on adding it during my short time as an editor, before I realized / was reminded that I'm not really in a good position to devote time for that. In any case I'll admit it's the only series I've ever seen to have a "meow"-ing tank as a recurring character.

And yet one more for the list:

I'm thinking more along the lines that it was made for (and was part of) a bigger program - in this case Sesame Street - rather than as a stand alone discounts it a little from the short film section.

Add it and we might end up with requests for us to add the numerous other shorts that were also on Sesame Street and other such programs. :P

Edit: However, if it was at some point released as a standalone at some point (and Youtube doesn't count for this), then that would change my opinion of putting it in short films.

I think that'd make it worthy of consideration (leaving aside the length issue); The Cabinet of Jan Svankmajer is part of the Brothers Quay canon, and it's actually a series of clips made for a documentary strung together into a short film. I think most of Candy Guard's shorts are a similar deal

Well, Light & Heavy was one of the short films included on a DVD entitled "Computer Animation Showcase" (a 1997 DVD that is no longer generally available). A lot of web sites consider them as two separate Pixar films.

If they don't end up with profiles on this site, it won't break my heart (especially given that Light & Heavy can't be easily found to be seen).

I also noticed that Robot Chicken wasn't included in the TV series profiles (...since the second season DVDs just came out for it...). I suppose that it should be added to the list.

Obviously my turnaround time on profiles isn't usually this good, but sometimes the research comes together pretty fast.

Looking forward to seeing that review. ;)

king kong (1933)

since its the earliest known films for stop motion and also Ray Harryhausen trained under Willis H. O'Brien who did the special effects uncredited (so there wouldnt have been no Jason and the Argonauts without this movie.)

Also its been known to inspire Nick Park into making movies via stop motion he admitted this on channel fours (uk) sceriest moments

I don't know if you'd consider it essential, but I've got a list of animation not on your list. The list is made up of Christian animation. Most of this is stuff that I've come to know from living in a town where there's more churches than gas stations. Anyway, here's the list with links:

*3-2-1 Penguins (http://bigidea.com/products/shows/shows_by_cats.aspx?catid=11)
*Adventures in Odysessy (http://www.whitsend.org/library/searchsum.cfm?type=vs&clkid=27)

I hope I'm not considered rude by pre-empting the editors, but this is a worthwhile and tricky question and does involve me, sort of.

Originally Athena had a rule of thumb that no animation should be included if it was supposed to look 'realistic' (it's somewhere on the 'about' page for the site, I think). I agreed but actually argued for 'Jason and the Argonauts' (and some opther RH films, by implication) on the grounds that RH had stated that his intention by using stop motion was to create a sense of UNreality. We tossed this back and forth for a long time, but I eventually got it through.

But I would argue that 'King Kong' is supposed to look realistic, not fantastical. I mean, there are no 300' gorillas, but if there were, I think the producers did their best to simulate what they would look like.

It's a subtle distinction we've argued about forever. I left as editor some time ago, but I assume the rule is the same, and I suspect it would find that KK was 'realistic' in the same way as 'Jurassic Park'.

I haven't seen any of these, but provided they satisfy the universal criteria for animation (it doesn't hurt if they're available to buy, either) I don't see any reason not to include them, just because they're christian - though you might then have to include 'Muslim Scouts in Africa Vol 2' (truly). After all, 'Prince of Egypt' is in there, and I consider that a religious movie. And it shouldn't matter (excuse me; I'm just covering all bases) - it shouldn't matter if they're bad, either.

What could be a problem is for editors to get hold of copies to grab screenshots from. After all, they'd probably have to buy them, and they may not want to.

Interestingly, no 2D film has ever failed the 'reality' test, which when you think about it is odd, considering how often we talked about the realism of 'Bambi'.

There might be a bit of a double standard there, but I think it's because 2D just isn't capable of really being 'photorealistic', no matter how much the animators try.

OTOH a lot of 'Bambi' isn't really very realistic at all.

Gumnutz.

Ok, fulltitle is

Gumnutz: a Saucy Tale

I'm guessing it might be a pilot movie for a TV series

Voice cast

Ian Bliss
Jamie Croft
Ines Vaz De Sousa
Rachel King
Keith Scott
Shane Withington

Heads of Production

Yasmin Mcconville
Rodney Wittham

(they listed everything from storyboard checkers to recptionist, but that's the closest thing I saw to 'producer')

No writer given, though character developers/designers are.

2007 Bigpix / Flying Bark Productions Australia / Film Finance Corporation Australia Ltd

I'm dubious that the female numbat is Greek. She doesn't sound Greek. There is a goanna who I think is supposed to be Aboriginal, but sounds like one of the kids from Bro'Town. Also fox, cobra (Indian immigrant), buffalo, cat, emus, koalas, redback spider, pelican, poteroo (Scots for some reason), echidnas, kangaroos, etc,

Also reminds me, there was a TV series a few years ago called 'Kangaroo Creek Gang'. I was editor at the time but couldn't find any grabs from it. The Kangaroo was called Kevin. That's about all I can remember of any use.

Two more items for the list:

Dead Leaves, a 45-50 minute anime film by Production IG.

Animated Classics of Japanese Literature, a Japanese TV series. Some episodes are available on VHS & DVD.

I have attached screen shots for both items. The Pandy & Retro shots are for Dead Leaves. The other two shots are from two different episodes of the ACJL: The Izu Dancer and The Sound of Waves.

It's not a criticism, but I seriously believe that Keyframe is incredible dated in regular programming shows (Nick, CN, etc). I know that these channels will never have the "best animation", but there are worst things in the database and it could raise the visits (and potential new users) to the site a lot...

'Fox and Hare' by Yuri Norstein (Hedgehog in the Fog, Tale of Tales). It's the only solo Norstein that you're missing. It'd be there, except I didn't have a DVD drive when I was editor, and there were no screengrabs on the net - and I know one of you has it.....

Hi Loop, I added The Fox and the Hare (http://www.keyframeonline.com/Animation/The_Fox_and_the_Hare/1147/) a little while ago. BTW Nice to see you on-line again.

The Sea Prince and The Fire Child (The Legend of Sirius)


I do have a copy of The Sea Prince and the Fire Child, but if adding it will just result in you just giving it another automatic four stars (unless it REALLY is that good - I haven't watched it yet), then I might just prolong adding the thing for a long, long time. :mad:
