Stop motion's advantages

There are so many styles of animation within stop motion, because as long as there are objects that can be moved to create fluid motion--a stop motion film can be made. I've never seen a felt made film before, but Oh, Willy showed just how much can be done with stop motion. Oh, Willy creates a new world of animation that's never really been seen before. It creates a new world in felt that's wonderfully done with the soft materials moving and blowing in the wind. Not to mention the lighting in the film is so well done. The lighting as well as the softness to the film adds so much to it,  opening a new door to the world of stop motion. Oh, Willy goes to show how much opportunity is available in the world of stop motion.

    I agree that Oh, Willy's use of felt added another layer to the viewer's understanding of the film's world. The softness and naturalistic appearance of the felt material gave the characters a certain charm and was beautifully lit.

    I really agree with both of you with how the use of felt in "Oh, Willy" really helps to tell the story. By using felt, the world was able to feel much softer and take some of the harshness out of the things that happened. It also matched the theme of longing for maternal care. I think it by using it also complimented the whole nudist colony plot point because it added to the vulnerability.

Bratz: Rock Angelz is the movie I didn't know I needed

This weekend, I watched the hit 2005 animated movie Bratz: Rock Angelz. This movie was one of the first Bratz films in CGI, and let me tell you- the plot is ALL OVER THE PLACE. The girls start a fashion magazine and use stolen passes to get into hot London punk clubs, but when they lose their passes they decide that the only way to get into the gig is to become a rock band? This movie can be considered capitalist propaganda- the Bratz shop in order to destress about their problems, and it's an implemental part of their lives. They don't have jobs either- Jade has an internship, but only for three hours until she is fired. Chloe meets a TRASH British prince and ignores her best friend Yasmin who finds celebrity judge Byron Powell's (I don't make this stuff up) dog, Ozzy. Jade and Sasha try to do a photo shoot for the magazine, but Sasha micromanages the whole thing and makes her friend feel bad! And this whole time, there's these two evil blond twins (Kaley Cuoco PLA...

The New Spider Man!

Yesterday I saw spiderman with some buddies and we all walked out absolutely giddy! This animation is the best animation to hit the theaters in 2018. Period. I remember watching it and as I was watching it thinking, "thank god I already finished all my reviews because I don't think I can put into words how good this movie is in just a page". The style of this animation is something you have never seen before from Hollywood. It is absolutely stunning. It follows traditions of comic book artists with bright colors, dark lines on the face, and a pop art texture overlayed on top of everything. My breath was taken away during the final fight scene: it was gorgeous , emotional, and the stakes were made clear in every shot. Not only was the animation fantastic, but the story was also so well told. Every character had a meaningful arch or something you didn't expect from them. Every relationship and turning point felt genuine and earned. And you didn't have some v...
