goddamn smirky eyebrow-raised badass poochie cartoons nowadays

“What better way to protect them than wrapping them in nostalgic brands?”

WHAT BETTER WAY, INDEED

i forgot about some of the monsters stuff..i haven't seen that in a minute

but i think everyone knows the point i was trying to make wrt pixar's style vs. the shrek style which is a constant barrage of winky referential b.s.

One plan features an old-fashioned trolley, but Mr. Iger is not sure that is a smart idea. Will modern children know what an old-fashioned trolley is?

unbelievable.

Go too far, as Mattel did in 1993 when it gave Ken a purple mesh T-shirt, a pierced ear and the name “Earring Magic Ken,” and it can set off a brand crisis on a global scale.

ahahaha

yeah matt i know toy story (which i think is the only pixar ive seen) didnt have nearly as much of that stuff; still i felt like a huge amount of its appeal was its cgi novelty, which is obviously done with

F.U. man wtf

btw while we're on the subject, what do you guys make of this WALL-E flick? I feel like the trailers have been too vague for me to really have any idea whether it's more likely to be great or garbage.

Bolt is a computer animated film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios, and will be Disney's 47th animated feature. The story is about Bolt, a white German Shepherd who has lived all his life on the set of a TV show in which he portrays a superhero dog, and as a result thinks that his superpowers are real. Later, he gets accidentally separated from the studio. He then meets a female cat named Mittens and a hamster who never leaves his exercise ball, and eventually he discovers that all of his powers are fake.

do we need rintintin meets toy story?

oh and
It stars the voices of John Travolta, Miley Cyrus, Malcolm McDowell, Diedrich Bader, Nick Swardson, Greg Germann and Susie Essman.

Why would you give two seperate nicknames to the same poster?

i hate almost all new animated features not made by pixar and even those can occasionally have a little bullshit here and there. but for the most part they're pretty awesome. but i think every single other animated feature just has a formula of loud colorful junk for the kids, innuendo for the adults, and shit jokes for everyone. i mean maybe pixar traffics in that as well to some degree but it happens like once per movie and the rest tends to keep pretty close to the disney formula. but i was watching alice in wonderland once and i was thinking how much was lost when randy newman took over the music factory with his cookie cutter "do you want to be my friend" academy songbait.

i like randy newman but his disney stuff, not so much.

not gonna defend the time i got drunk & cried watching joan cusacks song from toy story 2 on youtube at 2 in the morning

That was a big scene.

Tracer is OTM, the only reason ppl don't hate equally on TMNT is that WE WERE KIDS THEN, IF IT HAPPENED WHEN WE WERE KIDS IT'S PURE

i hate on tmnt equally

cartoons are some bullshit

Over the Hedge was awesome, but in general I hate this bullshit too

xpost however: cartoons are some bullshit DISAGREE

did this all start with Tom and Jerry? namely Jerry? I agree that the modern shit is hella grating and lazy, but you can't knock T&J.

This actually wasn't too bad:

This was marginally OK:

solid proof that tmnt is in no way comparable to this bullshit - adults & adult film critics alike both despised & didnt get it

ie if tmnt pandered it actually pandered to the right audience
