The book more like a fun adventure story if I remember correctly.

What's this from? Looks dark as hell, for a concept that's usually light-hearted and aimed at
children.

Oh American animation, you used to be so good. What happened??
When did shit like "The Amazing World of Gumball" become the standard? What happened to the
greats like Walt Disney and Ralph Bakshi?
When the hell did no-name privateers become better animators than the professionals?

Watership Down was a book about a group of wild rabbits who fled before their home was destroyed,
thanks to a prophecy. The book focused on the rabbits building a strong society and learning
about leadership and negotiating with other groups. I haven't seen the movie. Is it a cautionary
tale about the horrors of evil humans destroying nature?

Yeah, it would be nice to see some real handcrafted cartoons again like the old Disney.

The Amazing World of Gumball isn't even that bad. It's the most recent cartoon to take full
leverage of recent CGI technologies. The writing isn't terrible sorandumb either, like all of the
other shit on Cartoon Network.

Yea it's watership down.
Absolutely horrifying for a childrens cartoon. There's a real feeling of threat and
claustrophobia throughout the whole thing.

You know. I'm not that big on anime anymore that's not hentai, but that gravity falls show, if it
was done in the style of the right screen. I would watch it. Easily.
The one on the left isn't appealing to my eyes.

i remember watching this one as a kid it was shown in the tv for kids back in the day in Denmark
a quite good kids movie i dare say.
Inb4 you american lots will all disagree and want your children movies sugarcoated till the point

It has moments of that, but people overreact on how dark it is. Its really no darker than the
book, which has its moments. Its a fun watch

i agree and this is a movie that's not dummed down to the extreme we see children's movies done
today, instead they made a book into a movie the same way they'd have done where it a movie for
grown ups.

Right, one of my favorite books translated into one of my favorite movies. It would be nice to
see more like it in western animation, since its movies like this and Bakshi's work that inspired
me to do animation.
I wish the west took risks with its animation rather than choking on disney dick. Not that the
east does much better being slaves to the otaku crowd.

>Come on down to the loony bin and let all the tards show you how wrong you are.
Gravity Falls is decent, but TAWoG is pretty bad and I could only see 5 year olds liking it.

couldn't agree more, what seems to often be lost is that children don't nescessarily want movies
made into all the happy happy joy joy sugar coating of disney and the likes, instead treat them
as adults watching movies. instances of this include Chihiro and the witches, grave of the
fireflies, wolf children, and watership down.

when you use the term "happy happy joy joy" i think of ren and stimpy which is some dark and
demented awesomeness from my child hood which remains as my favorite tv show of all time up until
the creator of ren and stimpy got the true freedom he always wanted and made the bad spike tv
crap leading to a quick re canceling

another good example of a childrens show done right is the moomin trolls, it's an old finnish
cartoon. it tackles quite a few grown up issues like depression and the likes.

as a matter of fact i got the phrase from just that, the happy happy joy joy song ... i haven't
watched the cartoon just the vid with the guy who trolls a vent using that song.

well if you'd like a show where the flow goes from happy fun times to deep raging dementia which
if i didn't grow up on the stuff would come across as a bit scary

Also i forgot to tell you about the somewhat closeted homosexuality between the main characters
but in a manner that is subtle and just about right to be hilarious. its the fact that the spike
versions throw that behavior to the wind is why they sucked ass

Ah, this brings back memories. I remember sitting in my bed when I was young confused and scared
to what was happening. It was the first movie I had ever saw that really had any gore or blood
involved. (Was like fucking 5 then)
I watched this movie about 2-3 years ago out of Borden and the movie is great but it is also
dark, it helps bring the message to what humans are doing to the environment.

showed a 9 year old and 11 year old grave of the fireflies. Not much of a reaction other than it
being sad. Though it did hold their attention for I think the whole movie. That was enough to
impress me.

that is to some degree what i speak of, i mean this new movies look like they're made so you can
pay attention to your phone instead of the movie.

i mean movies should have you feel and identify with the protagonist, oh and btw i study shows

Listen, continuing to innovate with new types of animation and art is what made American pop
culture so refined and popular worldwide (that and capitalistic monopoly but that's another
story). And we still have extraordinary hand-drawn / traditionally animated or hybrid pictures.
Look at the Disney Renaissance and beyond

The old masters all died; their last pic was the Fox and the Hound. It's actually really really
sad if you listen to the contemporary interviews. They were really trying to make a good last
movie and some of the scenes were written in as direct metaphors for their feelings of saying
goodbye to the biz
