Will 2D animation die?

Post by **Kinoo** » February 14th, 2007, 9:15 am

Ben said it was based on a Russian fairytale not that the movie will be so! you know nothing about the project and yet you keep blaming Lasseter he "persuaded" Musker and Clemens. So funny, If we were told back in 1988 that Disney was preparing a Little Mermaid movie with a rebel redhead chick, a raggamuffin crab and a stupid seagull, there would be cosntant bashing against Katzemberg. Fortunately, internet was not as common back at that time.

As for I am being a Pixar fan yes it(s true but I am also and firstly an animation fan, I also happen to enjoy a few Dreamworkzy so don't make me look like I am a fanatic of Pixar. It's just that your constant Lasseter complains and Katzemberg ode is getting tired. I am not excited at all about the future of DW movies (Shrek III, Madagascar II, Bee Movie and Kung Fu panda?). On the other hand Wall-E is getting a very positive buzz from insiders and Toy Story III was the movie everybody wanted to be greenlighted.

Here are Ben's exact words:

This will be a fantastic hit.

People, whether they know it or not, are absolutely itching for a traditional traditional Disney movie, and a princess musical is as about as pure as it can be.

Anyway, like I said earlier, I didn't mean to tick you off....these are just my opinions. Maybe a lot of the animation community feels differently than me about a lot of stuff--fine, that's their right. It's also my right to say how I feel. If it annoys you that I like JK...sorry. I'm not his only fan, there are others believe it or not, even if they're not as vocal.

you know nothing about the project and yet you keep blaming Lasseter he "persuaded" Musker and Clemens

.

I only know what we hear on this site and other animation sites...if that info is wrong, that s***ks, but I"m just reacting based on what we've been hearing. That's what this forum is for.

JL is the boss now, he's got power, this is how he's using his power. Thus people are going to have reactions to that.

I am not excited at all about the future of DW movies (Shrek III, Madagascar II, Bee Movie and Kung Fu panda?). On the other hand Wall-E is getting a very positive buzz from insiders and Toy Story III was the movie everybody wanted to be greenlighted

OK fine, that's your opinion. You have a right to it and I respect it. If you're not excited about DW movies, OK, but some people are. Just because one is in a minority opinion doesn't make their opinion any less valid.

That's all I'm going to say about this issue....I'm sorry if I upset you Kinoo, that wasn't my intention. I'll try to tone down my Lassetter criticism/Katzenberg praise if it reall bothers people that much.

Just loosen up a little on Lassy, and everyone will be happy. I'm still not fond of his decisions, but who knows if its for better or worse. MTR was changed some by him, correct? Only a few more weeks, and we'll know how the general public feels!

On the subject of future movies, I'm actually exited for all the DW and Pixar movies. They all have potential, and all sound very interesting.

Aww thanks Dan!

********************************************

Anyways, I didn't mean to judge JL so harshly....I'm sorry if it offended people....I'll try to be more sensitive.

(I know I wouldn't like it if people ripped into JK so...I get your feelings Kinoo. I'll try to tone down my opinions.

)

*Shake hands*?

This is from a while ago, but here's something Josh wrote about a possible plot idea for a Roger Rabbit sequel. It has to do with the whole 2d/3d issue...I was reading it again, I think it's a great idea!

If they do make a sequel to RR, I hope they use Josh's idea!

Post by **Josh** » February 16th, 2007, 9:52 am

I'm thrilled you enjoyed and remembered my idea, Vi! Thank you very much for the mention!

Post by **Meg** » February 16th, 2007, 5:28 pm

Me too! It's really clever.

Post by **Josh** » February 17th, 2007, 2:02 am

Wow! Thanks for the kind words, Meg!

Post by **Daniel** » February 17th, 2007, 7:54 pm

Since I love sequels and all, I espicially like your idea, Josh! This is the first time I've read it, and thought it was great! If only this was real, I would be so exited!
