With the controversial Lego Movie snubbing still ringing in our ears, does the category have any legitimacy today? How can the smaller efforts strive to defeat the Pixar/Dreamworks juggernauts?
Dreamworks, despite fresh changes in staff and vision, is facing swift financial decline. How can this multi-million dollar company ascend to former heights? How has the company failed to capture audience interests of late?
Perhaps they should make more films that challenge the audience, make the audience think rather than just entertain. Just food for thought. – Travis Kane9 years ago
After the release of a brilliant trailer, everyone waits impatiently for the next Pixar film to hit the theaters. Inside Out already looks different in terms of the story but familiar in style with what looks like amazing effects, at the peak of Pixar creation. What can we expect of the film? Why is the story so original? What do we think is similar to other films and made their success (humor, designs, sympathetic characters, adventure, themes…) ?
Because the film won't be released for a while now, It would be interesting to look at trailers, interviews, and behind the scene features to get a better knowledge about what the film could be about. You don't half to do this, but it would be interesting doing a before and after comparison of the film. – Aaron Hatch9 years ago
Could relate this premise to the recent slump n Pixar properties and ascension of other Disney animation efforts (Frozen). – Thomas Munday9 years ago
Thanks to the stigma about animated films being strictly for children, animation isn't always taken seriously by the marketing team. What are some ways you can market an animated film to ensure it is a success at the box office?
If you want to talk about more adult animated films, I would suggest looking and Hayao Miyazaki's films like Spirited Away and The Wind Rises. It's not that there in no adult animated films being released, it's just that they are over shadowed by Pixar and Dreamwork's movies. – Aaron Hatch9 years ago
Also take a look at "darker" claymation style movies like Corpse Bride or Nine or pretty much anything Time Burton is attached to. – Natalie Sheppard9 years ago
Japan's anime industry is known for producing dark and very adult shows. Perhaps we could learn a thing or two from Japan. – Travis Kane9 years ago
One of the most chilling ending shots in the Legend of Korra is the scene of Kuvira, the Book 4 antagonist, taking a single deep breath after essentially sacrificing her betrothed to a deadly gunfire. This article analyzes how within a single breath Kuvira's intricacies are revealed.
Honestly, I think you should write this article yourself since you seem to have an idea of what these intricacies might be. I personally thought that that breath wasn't really a breath of hesitation or mustering of will, but more of a sigh of annoyance (as in a "another pest has appeared that I must remove" sort of way). I'd love to hear what you have to say about it though; this seems interesting. If you'll comment back, I'll remove this right away. – Austin10 years ago
Steven Universe, a Cartoon Network production by an Adventure Time alumni, not only entertains, but tugs at the heartstrings.
This article would need an detailed introduction regarding what the program is along with using videos of the scenes mentioned, if they are available. – Ryan Errington10 years ago
Both Cartoon Network productions, Adventure Time and Steven Universe (made by an Adventure Time alumni) share an intriguing aspect: their settings are later revealed to be post-catastrophe as their episodes progress.
Delving into the importance of art in Tomm Moore's Secret of Kells.
I think you could even expand this to Tom Moore's film Song of the Sea that was just released. It has the same art style as The Secret of Kells. – Cagney10 years ago
This is a quality topic. I just saw this movie for the firs time about a month ago and immediately spent several hours looking up information about it. It's beautiful. I would love to see an article about this (I don't think I know enough about it to do it myself). Since no one has chosen this topic in a while (I see it's been almost a year), can you feasibly write it yourself? Consider yourself encouraged to do so! – Katheryn9 years ago
