-flips picture in Paint- If it's upside-down with inverted colors, Watership Down doesn't look so gory. :P
Yeah, we're all gonna get a lot of things done tomorrow.

ell negative one i do agree, that the Incredibles was terrible, plain awful even from a child's perspective probably.s no one thought about this though: If Disney, Pixar, Deamworks and other companies like them aren't going to make more mature movies, then simply find a PG13 or PG movie that could technically doubles a childs movie. Something that gives out live lessons, entertains, but doesn't limit itself too terribly.
Well, I didn't say The Incredibles was terrible, but I see where you're coming from otherwise.
I was playing NGR for the first time in forever. I went to the credits(Don't know why), and noticed that there was a small area in the bottom-right of the screen that was clickable. When I clicked it, it brought me back to the original menu when you first make your file. I still had all of my grounds gold, etc., but I changed my name. Strange.
Didn't think I'd be making another NGR post anytime soon.
Well that's just weird. I'll have to crack open the fla sometime and see what's going on there. I don't remember adding anything like that.
Can you believe people are "still" goin wild for ya group game eva made
Always knocks me out. Can't believe it managed to get back into the top 10 again.
Amen. But if anyone reading this is one of those asses who allways needs to blame somone, blame the PTA. It was thier horrible idea (if even that!) that led to the mass cencorship. Someday I am making a dark Childrens movie just to piss 'em off. P.S. the last Mimzy got fairly dark, darker than the Incredibles but not as dark as the Dark Knight.
Hey wheres the Fancy Pants stage? PS:Merry Christmas to you.
Heh, Brad wasn't able to fit in the time. And I wouldn't wanna add it these days because then people will think we're still making updates.
Where did we go wrong, indeed? People like Don Bluth were geniuses in their field. Hell, I remember back in that day when anime was a scarcity, and every bit of it was pure gold. People have definitely gone soft when it comes to stuff like this... I remember Watership Down from first grade, and it was a unique experience.
These days, it feels very few people are trying to keep that fire going. Miyazaki, for example, is one of the few mainstream animations I still bother to pay any attention to. You have some very good points, and thank you for reminding ME of a time when animation was definitely in it's prime. Hopefully those days will come again soon enough.
I think the internet's the only hope, really. It's a matter of being able to monetize online content viewing in a very effective way.
Really, though, you could just make a huge sign appear as soon as you start the game: "NO MORE UPDATES! " And then if people STILL ask for updates, take half the characters out for a week. That'll teach 'em.
Would probably also butcher the score :P Anyhow, requests are starting to thin out, so whatever, I can deal with a few now and then. I'm sure once I finally release another game, they'll bug me about something else.
I can see it now: "WHY ISN'T MASTER CHIEF IN THE RPG?!?"
I'm pretty sure turn based RPGs can actually have a wider variety of characters, though,because they don't need to walk or jump or anything and only need a few moves. "Charlie used Wrath of the Banana King!"
Okay, maybe not THAT wide a variety of characters. =)
Heh, well I intend on keeping one character throughout Everfrost, if I ever finish that beast.
I completely agree. What happened? I grew up in the 90's were every disney movie you saw had the truthful theme of death and deciet. I can't even turn on my T.V. to channels I used to love like cartoon network with out seeing this garbage. I'm not saying "YES GIVE EVERY CARTOON AS MUCH BLOOD AND VIOLENCE AS POSSIBLE" but at least make it realistic so our kids don't end up thinking everything is sunshine and lolipops as they get older. And to the people who are "offended" by these cartoons and don't want there kids to get "twisted" by them. All I can say is why don't you do your job as a parent and teach your kids about things they may not understand instead of blaming the animators and writers who spend there time working on these movies and shows.
I remember watching that show when I was like 6 years old. Now that I watched it again as a 14 year old, I think. . . GOD DAMN, I never relised how dodgy and weird that movie was. As of course I did enjoy watching it now, but I never remembered it being that bad.
It's like those really weird BBS shows, now there weird :P
Yeah I miss some of them. Like Oliver and company
wow. Tht must have been a lot of typing....hmm, it's 1:22 AM where I am so I better get some sleep...Yawn...
100!
And what's up with the top notch Voice Actors that are washed up from old sitcoms?
And how do they expect kids to know who Ben Stiller is?
The answer to both questions is that the voice actor choices seem to pander to the parents more than the kids. Gives them something to take away from the experience now that the themes and storylines are bullshit.
Personally, I've always found Japanimation to have the most depth when it came to movies and T.V., especially Hayao Miyazaki. Most of his movies are set in a fantasy setting, but he hits it really hard when it comes to real world and life issues and death is always apparent.
Sucks that he's going to retire soon.
I look to my right on my shelf of my favorite vhs movies as a kid. Little Nemo and Fox and the Hound stand out most to me. Why? Not in a million years is it because there are dark themes behind them...They were compelling stories free from shananigans and humor. They used few characters and attached the audience by focusing on these few characters. Madagascar and Incredibles, I admit, they were fun to watch, but when you get down to the bare bones, it's really nothing more than 20 animal characters running around doing stupid shit. It's not even like lion king.
Speaking of which, in Lion King, it shows a perfect example of character development. Mufasa dies and Simba learns to cope with his problems and make better of himself. Yes he had to use violence OMG VIOLENCE, but who gives a shit? It's all a metaphor. That's what lions do. If a parent is not good enough at telling their children what the difference between a lion and a human is, that's not the movies' fault.
But back to my original point, I am saddened by the sudden releases of childish 3d animation. I don't believe 3d animation is bad, it just gets a bad rep when nothing but childrens movies come out of it.
Monsters Inc was for children and one of the first good 3d movies besides toy story. It's sort of dark like some of toy story, but they are still nothing like traditionally animated 2d films.
Gee i didn't think i'd write that much
(and this post is like 2 months late but i saw you were still responding)
Comically, I stopped reading at about this point, but now I've come back to catch up on them.
I agree, Lion King was the ultimate masterpeice of child movies.
roboxo
well i wached all ya movies ok
