The Dreamworks Face Must Be Stopped
- musicale 4y ago> The insanely profitable and influential 2001 film paved the way for Dreamworks Animation and its strategy of using thinly-veiled (if veiled at all) “adult jokes” and cultural references as its movie fuel. So like cartoons from the 1920s and 1930s and every decade since? > These ain’t your daddy’s cartoons Mickey Mouse and Felix the Cat are centenarians at this point, with Looney Tunes at their tails...
- iostream24 4y agoFunny how you didn’t get the reference to that Pixar joke style. It’s a really rather obvious trope; a unique cliche, IMO
- iostream24 4y agoMeaning, distinctive. Eye rolling or not depends upon the persons taste, but definitively always done in a particular manner in all their film over the course of 2 decades. The formula is showing it’s cynical teeth and laughing at how dumb we are, by this point in time. I really won’t be surprised to find a small team having written a process guide and an AI churning out stuff, at this point
- musicale 4y agoIt was meta-irony, so I'm glad you appreciated it. I also like the term unique cliché.
- iostream24 4y agoThis person put their finger on why I can’t watch this Pixar nonsense. I couldn’t have put my own finger better on my own reasons why. It’s like reading a takedown of a serial bully and relishing the takedown. Take that, generic automated entertainment ! I suspect that hand animation and non realistic artsy animation styles will make a comeback
- iostream24 4y agoBasically, Pixar formula sausage is the EDM autotune of animation
