! Man, I will definitely be (thinking about) voting for Cloudy, so rare that a film gets so gleeful about science.

I'm not sure if it played much outside of the UK, but The Wrong Trousers, by Nick Park's Aardman Animations,
this is one of the best films of any kind ever, but Nick Park wrote and directed it, and does not own Aardman - he was a schoolboy when they started and didn't join until circa Sledgehammer (co-founder Peter Lord is still an active filmmaker, directed the Pirates! adaptation of this year)

also not on the list: The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie aka The Great American Chase - this is a 1979 comp of classic Chuck Jones material, voting for which may be a good way to avoid vote-splitting among WB shorts.

highly recommend the 1943 'chicken little' -- it's got the most shocking ending of any disney cartoon i know.

anyone wanna recommend me one or two of Bill Plympton's feature-length films to seek out? I've not seen any of them, tho I really like what shorts of his I've encountered.
― ➂ ➌ ➂ (Pillbox), Wednesday, 13 June 2012 09:09 (11 months ago) Permalink
I did not know that! And I'm glad to, as it means that he'll probably be active for longer than if he was a founder.
Also I can't believe I didn't know until now that the W&G stories were co-written by the author of The Claws of Axos / The Sontaran Experiment / The Hand of Fear!

0357 Un autre: Gandahar
ok this was only me being stupid, it's just called Gandahar.
done a quick tot up and i've already got 25 on my ballot, plan on trying to catch up on as many more as possible over the next couple of weeks.

on Plympton features: The Tune is the only one I've seen but it's great (however also spuriously tangents off to incorporate some of his shorts)
First two were Park alone. But the ears on robot Preston in A Close Shave are a tip-off about the co-author.
― ┗|∵|┓ (sic), Wednesday, 13 June 2012 09:40 (11 months ago) Permalink
Do you have a source for that? IMDB reckons otherwise.
― Andrew Farrell, Wednesday, 13 June 2012 09:55 (11 months ago) Permalink
spuriously tangents off to incorporate some of his shorts
I think (not 100% sure) they were always intended to be part of The Tune but Plympton released some scenes as shorts ahead of time to raise money to finish the film. It does feel a little disjointed but that's the series-of-musical-numbers nature of it I guess. I love it, btw.
Anyway The Tune and I Married A Strange Person are great, I didn't care for Hair High at all (standard new-kid-in-high-school plot moves slowly with occasional bursts of gross-out slapstick which, I know, is what you expect from a Plympton film, but it just didn't really gel for me), and I haven't seen anything else. Has anyone seen any others?

I would encourage anyone with the time to please watch the Sally Cruikshank films, Quasi at the Quackadero and Make Me Psychic. They're something like Fleischers done in the seventies, with music by R. Crumb's backing band and mostly animated (over a period of years) by Cruikshank alone. Particularly with the former, there's something richly nostalgic going on amidst all the weird cartoon geekery in the carnivalesque encounters with possible pasts and futures, huckster'd or otherwise. Make Me Psychic increases the pace does better in terms of sheer goofy cartooniness without going into hyperdrive like the remarkable but sort of opaque Face Like a Frog (1987).
