Empire of Dreams!!

Watching “Empire of Dreams” last class really made me more aware of the entire filmmaking process early in the world of animation and CGI. I also like how it humanized each person who helped make the movie and how they viewed George Lucas and his work. I learned that it takes at least one especially driven individual with a vision to put something to work especially when it comes to breaking the boundaries of animation or shooting in the hot Tunisian sun. I have a new respect for George Lucas and the animators who worked not only to create the first films but to go back and re-animate the entire films to make it a perfect work of art. Animation has come an extremely long way and it’s really interesting to see how “Star Wars” impacted that.

    I love that comment that you made about how it only takes one person to break the boundaries of something. I 100% agree with that and this is actually really true when you think about all of the greats. Things that only start out with a couple of people, take Pixar for example, can really turn into something big if you truly have the drive and passion for it.

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...
