Shrek Retold

About a week ago this got posted online. It's the entire first Shrek movie composed of 200 individually animated sequences. Kinda like Our Robocop Remake, except it's mostly animated, so it's applicable here. I'm interested to hear any of y'alls thoughts, cause I've always found it interesting to see these giant compilations and find what the best segments are. Personally, I was utterly transfixed by Chris-Chan randomly showing up and narrating a section of the film.

    My friends were actually watching this while I was trying to do one of my reviews. I found the idea of there being several different aesthetics within a scene to be to be riveting, but I can’t see this type of film venturing far off from Youtube. Despite my interest in the idea, I couldn’t say I really enjoyed a majority of the aesthetic styles that I did see in my minimal viewing of the film. Although, I would love to see a professional production in a medium like this, as what I saw gave off a very amatuer, internet meme vibe that I don’t think feels right in feature films.

    I watched this last night and it was such a weird fever dream. Some of the animation was so good but most of it was so bad, but that in itself is such an internet/meme culture/youtube aesthetic. Just like. What a weird thing that this exists now.

    I think these types of films are so important because they allow us to remember how fluid art truly is. Personally, it shows how many different ways the same story can be told effectively, and is a great platform for artists to get their individual styles of art out there in the publics eye. Like going to a museum!

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...
