Animation is underappreciated medium

[drgon78]

Animation is truly an underappreciated medium, in fact it is so underappreciated that many people think it is a genre, not even a medium.

Agree, it deserves more respect.

No current "modern" 2d animation shows come close.

OMG! I own that movie on vhs, and even remember when it first came out in theaters! (Brad Pitt's first STARRING role, btw) It is super trippy to watch, and one of my favorite "adult" animated movies.

Jesus.

Is it weird that I even know exactly what scene of the movie that clip is from?

I like how they somehow had sex with clothes on. Like obviously they could get away with so much but they could have at least kept the camera up to imply Holli was nude from the waist down. Even as a kid I found that funny.

I also don't know why Kim Basinger wasn't given the exact same outfit Holli had, like she had an extra transparent shirt on or some junk. Why bring her in to be the 'real' Holli if she was afraid to show as much skin?

Actually, it was heavily implied that she had no underthings on, just the (veeery short) skimpy dress. Also, Holli wore three separate outfits in the movie, of which the one Kim wore after turning human was one. And it was almost identical to the cartoon version. (She changes into it right after they have sex, but don't ask me how the dress became "real", lol!) Yes, I've watched this movie waaay too many times. Mostly for the trippy background animations- very Escher/Geiger-esque! (And Dali, and Picasso....)


Also, Fun Fact- Brad Pitt HATED doing that movie and when asked about doing another green screen, he said "Never again"! And still hasn't.

If y'ever wanna see someone have a stroke in real-time, track down Ralph Bakshi and ask him about "Cool World".

Heavy Metal is another fave of mine, as well as Roger Rabbit, and I love Ninja Scroll, Akira, Princess Mononoke, Biohunter, and a number of other anime. The Wall is one I can watch, but find somewhat disturbing for all the overused Nazi and sexual imagery. It just doesn't sit well. Could never stand Beavis and Butthead, nor South Park, but I love Aeon Flux, The Maxx, and some of the other shorts from that era.

The problem is that each time a western children's cartoon or comic tries to get tougher, parents will complain over its too violent content and push the government politicians to action.

At the end, we all sit there once again, brainwashing ourself with the same prejuice as years ago:

Cartoons and comics are only for children

Outdated stigma.
