So many timeless sight gags in Red Hot Riding Hood - sadly Tumblr/etc seems heavier on animated gifs of Red rather than the wolf's table-pounding, heart-thumping-out-of-chest, etc.
Bambi Meets Godzilla is so great; turns up in all sorts of weird places/anthologies/etc.

People like that film? Never seen it, always dismissed it as lackluster late-period Disney, unfairly it would seem.

Caught Emperor's New Groove once on TV and ended up sitting straight through it. Don't remember a thing about it, and wouldn't watch it again I think but it was definitely a "Hey, wow, this is genuinely entertaining!" That was this period where there were really really clear lines between their "A" team mega-musical blockbusters and their "B" team screwball slice-of-life movies and the latter were pretty great IIRC - Lilo and Stitch is the other main one.
Laputa is great but definitely not my top Miyazaki. Great adventure yarn is right. The story elements are all exactly where you'd expect to find them and the characters are heartwarming in the right places and so on, but the design work, animation, and atmosphere put it over the top. Couple of spectacular set pieces. It also really convincingly sells the majesty, mystery and dreaminess of the mysterious lost civilization from the past; the robots are super-cool, all-powerful, but also fundamentally un-knowable, and that goes for Laputa itself. He doesn't rush you past it. Interesting to consider all that in light of the way he ended up playing the end of the Nausicaa manga, which takes a much dimmer view of the ancient, lost civilization, and the robot-equivalents that it left behind.
― Doctor Casino, Monday, 24 December 2012 04:08 (eleven years ago) link
Couple of spectacular set pieces.
The robot casually eviscerating the Government fortress is THE Miyazaki setpiece as far as I'm concerned. Chills just thinking about it.

i'll be rewatching laputa this week i think and it's been years since my last viewing, but it's fondly rememberedemperor is just sorta meh
― ILX is not a non-profit — we are just not profitable (forksclovetofu), Monday, 24 December 2012 07:50 (eleven years ago) link
My fault for watching the Disney dub perhaps, but the kids in laputa were seriously annoying, the boy especially. Wasn't mad keen on the pirates either. Agree about the set pieces, and the wonderful design and mystery of the castle, but overall it was a bit too childish for me (as distinct from childlike, e.g. Totoro).

funnily enough Emperor's New Groove started out as the former before being redeveloped
― Number None, Monday, 24 December 2012 09:24 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, never watch the disney miyazaki dubs, they are always inferior
― ILX is not a non-profit — we are just not profitable (forksclovetofu), Monday, 24 December 2012 15:33 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, exactly! Also the big chase at the beginning. I'm always wowed by the idea of people sitting there animating every shattered piece of wood flying up from the railway, etc.
I have only seen Laputa in subs so I dunno about the Disney voices, but the kids are slightly annoying in the original, again just for being sort of stock types more than for any other reason. OTOH I kind of lose interest when Miyazaki gets more and more into weirdness for weirdness's sake; Howl, for example, seemed to me to be trying to hard to throw lots of different concepts together in order to create a dreamlike melange, but coming out feeling forced and awkward. Just recently re-read the Nausicaa manga for the billionth time and I feel it pulls off a really nice balance between archetypes and a consistent unfamiliar weirdness and originality. I'm convinced that's his most compelling and unified work... a shame it'll never be half as well-known as any of the films.
― Doctor Casino, Monday, 24 December 2012 17:12 (eleven years ago) link
Oh I might have to read the manga in that case. The film of Nausicaa is a wee bit dull IMO.
― I wish to incorporate disco into my small business (chap), Monday, 24 December 2012 17:38 (eleven years ago) link
I would agree with that totally - it's probably the one of his that I have the least interest in re-watching actually. But it only covers maybe the first fifth of the manga, and that with a lot of the subtlety stripped out. The manga was a long, long-term project and had a lot of room to develop nuances, minor characters, people changing allegiances, all that, and the nature-loving theme sustains more and more challenges to its core. It's definitely a conversation-starter IMO.
― Doctor Casino, Monday, 24 December 2012 17:41 (eleven years ago) link
just saw laputa in theaters - amazing, much more action packed than I had remembered! (for some reason I thought it was a more chill movie showing two kids chilling on a giant fortress]

iirc The Emperor's New Groove is the one with the documentary that "disney doesn't want you to see" or something..... "The Sweatbox" is its title. I've never seen it though. Disney wins again.
