pps ive seen princess monenoke[and all of Hayao Miazakis great films} and im thinking some japenese people are really brutal like 4 instance the new forbidden siren game had a small child getting chased by zombies and in resi evil 2 sherry birkin is gettin attacked by zombies [but survives] and have u seen all of these really fuckin scary jap horrors like the grudge and KM31. and when i saw princess monenoke i said how the fuck is this a kiddie like animation supposed to be so fuckin violent people dying people bleeding a river of that demon gods blood animals attaking humans.i think that some of the japenese are taking there advertisment to far and movies and animation i mean i havent seen spirited away but as a tiny tiny child i got scared[it was when i was 2] and kids dont know ben stiller he is in more adultiey films i mean look at the kids show dr who there are so many parts that scare some kids like the statues that if you blink they get closer and closer and if they touch u you die.and if you have seen watership down it was to gorery and the worst animation film ive ever seen has got to be renissance its a bad film but createive it has the art like that new game capcom[or nintendo] are releseing mad world. so your right
In my view, there are two different ideas behind Pixar / Disney movies. First is to tell the story of a cute or lovable thing that learns a lesson (Disney's Job). Second is to showcase new animation software (Pixar's Job). On the Disney side of things, there always seem to be more adult themes and references when they write for Pixar films. As you might guess, I go see Pixar movies to see their animation skills.
On the same note of "Adult Themes in Kids Movies", when was the last time you watched Shrek? The first time I went to see it was with my Dad and one of his friends. For reasons I didn't understand at the time, we left early. After watching it again recently, I understand why.
Shrek has the most disgusting sense of adult humor I've ever seen hidden in a kids movie. Between penis jokes through Lord Farqua (or whatever) and a Gingerbread Man who makes jokes about cannibalism, you have Snow White portrayed as a slut, and the ever blatant "Donkey". And every bit of it is hilarious.
In short, adult themes aren't gone from kids movies, their just hidden.
Hrmm, never saw it, and it's not really on my to-do list.
i know rite
Although your right that we should not feed children the image of a perfect world we should not only feed them the truth. Some things they don't need to know, and some they do. And sometimes the happy joyful movies like madagascar there are pretty good for entertainment. What they are expecting is for parents to stay out of the governements/whatever runst he movies and books and all that- in ohter words the people who own those things expect parents to stay out of their hair if they put in happy joyful perfection. At that point they are saying quit your bitching and teach your kids the truth yourself- we're sick of your pickiness.
Why I prefer japanese cartoons. Those people seem to still hold on what we lost.
I want to see Watership Down. I've only read the book :(
Totally agree, I didn't think about it in that way, you're right in every aspect of it.
And I like your extended vocabulary. Makes it important.
and what is dani12345 fuckin talkin about?
You've got me there :P
Watership Down...book, film and TV series, all were pretty much perfect.
I would say it's best to start with the book, it's much easier to understand the kind of social structure and community the rabbits built up through it. Either way...get this fucking thing.
Any updates soon?
Trust me, as a kid growing up in the mid-90s, All Dogs Go to Heaven was by far one of the most influential movies that continues to lay within my subconscious, not only for the sheer amount of lessons to be gained from its content but from the simpler fact that it made me hug my own dogs very, very tightly that evening after seeing it.
I often joke to people about the sheer amount of "questionable content" that appeared not only in feature films, but in daily cartoons as well (anyone remember the Marijuana shop in the background scenery of Freakazoid? No? Only me? Huh, people sure said it was easily identifiable and dangerous...), but has since been replaced with anthropomorphic character after anthropomorphic character in order to portray bad events as "not identifiable with humans" if they should occur.
I seriously think this lackadaisical nature is what's leading to lackluster performances at work when kids and teens expect life to be easily fixed when broken, and easy to cater to their schedule, that if they screw up, everything will be "alright" in the end without some heavy duty asskissing.
I can certainly see a spoiled generation coming on.
censorship doesn't help anyone, i say let kids watch anything, but teach them how to understand what they're viewing critically or how to choose movies and shows on their own. we can't blame the media, the only reason movies are out there is to make a buck (i'm not saying that the film directors are insincere, there are some magnificent filmmakers/artists/storytellers out there - but they only have a chance to do what they love because companies thought it could make money) no, the problem is parents have stopped teaching kids how to make choices, understand reality, and become critical thinkers. naturally, the media is taking that and shooting out sugary movies to spoonfeed these parents who are looking for the easiest way out.
i've never seen all dogs goto heaven, or the watership movie (read the book, didn't understand the trauma it apparently caused :P) one movie i've liked though is Fantastic Planet. its hardly as gruesome as Watership Down may be, but it provides another realm that few children's movies have nowadays - surreality - also it presents powerful themes: evolution, the differences (or lack thereof) between man and animal, war and compromise.
Hm, never heard of it. That might be one to look into.
I totally agree with you dude. I grew up watching a couple of these movies. But like the Golden Age of Hollywood, it died down. At least I got memories of watching those movies, tucked away in my head.
Another good thing about All Dogs go to Heaven is that it takes place in 1939 New Orleans, Louisiana, corruption at its finest and I live near New Orleans. All Dogs go to Heaven 2 sucked because it didn't have those adult themes to it, Don Bluth did not do it and could not do it since the main character Charlie (played by BURT REYNOLDS) unlike 2 (played by charlie sheen), there was a huge fucking time skip, and it was in San Franciso, California.
They ruined honestly every possible thing that they could have. Could there be a more stark contrast between 1939 Louisiana and goddamn San Fransisco?
I forgot to add that he died and could not come back to life.
I was playing NGR again, and I read a few of the comments. One guy had a point. Newgrounds Rumble would be great with Achievements. Y'know, beat it on Hard, beat it with every character, get a certain score in survival mode, complete all the challenges, etc. And then the secret ones, like figure out how to play as Henchman(=3), transform into every character as Convict at least once, Etc. 'Course then people would once again think you're still updating the game, so...Yeah. Sure felt good to think of ones that would be possible, though. =)
Someday
Oh, damn, by achievements, I meant medals, like with Thing Thing Arena 3 and Portal Defenders.
i used to watch watership down alot when i was a child, its still one of my favorites. most of todays animations movies are like "a group of talking animals escape from the zoo and try to surive in the wild" i really bothers me that they cant come up whit something new and intresting, so im just gonna stick whit the classic ones :)
