Watched Makoto Shinkai's new movie Suzume a few weeks ago and I really loved it.
I even saw it in 35mm analogue film. 35mm is considered a premium limited format nowadays in first-world countries. But 35mm film is considered a poverty budget cinema format in the Philippines.
I get to appreciate the superior analogue aesthetics while spending less money.

You know. I honestly hate saying animated movies suck, because wile everything else in the movie might suck, the animation usually really good! I have seen people saying illumination movies are soulless, which I think is true, but I hate to say that because I always think there animation is really good, and I. Recent times it’s been pretty top notch. Even if I don’t like the Mario movie, I probably will enjoy the animation.

And that also goes for recent Disney movies, I don’t really enjoy the recent Pixar movies to much, but the animation is so good. And it also sucks when an animation movie does bad, because animation isn’t easy, and the animators usually at least I feel like, don’t get talked about to much and kinda get lumped in with the bad writing and other choices.

@Snatcher illumination plays it weak in the plot but lets the animators go freaking ham with the animation and attention to detail. I also gotta say Pixar is getting very samey with the stories, it's almost always the make-you-cry-sometimes deep story with very little sense of wonder and character with each movie. My favorite animated thing to happen recently was an anime called BELLE (WATCH IT, IT IS AMAZING) and that was a fairy tale retelling.

SO in short, I agree.

@Colonel_Mustache I think they'll put more care into a Zelda movie since Zelda is more for an older crowd than say a Mario or Pikmin.

@Snatcher Stop watching children's cartoons then. For all the talk about animation should be taken seriously on here it's only ever followed up by talking about kids films and ignores that there are arty and more thought provoking animations that aren't water down so that 5 year olds can watch them like;

Flee, which transcended the cartoon award at the Oscars and went for different serious categories too.

Anomalisa, from indie darling Charlie Kaufman who did Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, Being John Malkovich, Adaptation etc.

Loving Vincent, an experimental biopic about Vincent van Gogh where every frame is painted.

Persepolis, a POWERFULL coming of age story set during the Iranian Revolution.

A Scanner Darkly, based on a Philip K. Dick book which is visually hypnotic and is more demanding than watching someone shout banana.

Mary and Max, a quiet but pervasive film with wit and emotion.

The House, a surreal anthology film linked together with arty farty themes.

@Owl1 I don’t know who at illumination lets the animators cook but whoever it is, keep cooking!
I agree about Pixar, hope elemental will be different, but there’s not much hope on that front, but the animation will be amazing regardless.
Oh I watched that movie oh my god it was amazing! Not enough people talked about that movie, I wasn’t expecting to take the serious turn it did.

@Colonel_Mustache I guess they just don’t want the illumination style humor, which I understand, but at the same time, it’s still aimed at a younger audience, as long as they make interesting writing choices, and don’t make it boring which I don’t think they will, the movie will do just fine! But if ti does poorly, I will feel so bad for the animators.

@jump I have to agree with you on that, I think the reason for that is because Pixar and Disney are the most popular, but because of that movies that the ones you mentioned get overshadowed, and no one talks about them much. Plus for some reason animated movies tend to get tied with having to be for children, which I have no idea how that’s still a thought process with all the adult animated content we get, not even adult for all ages to boot, and it’s amazing.

Adult animated tv shows seem to do better in the animated area then movies it seems.then movies at least from what I have seen.

@Owl1 honestly rating never matter for a movie, it only tells you the content and what said person put it. Some movies work with a higher rating because that means they can put the content or more serious them in a movie, whatever it may be. This movie didn’t need that, proving, that if written well, a pg movie can have serious themes and amazing story’s!

@Snatcher not saying I hate R-rated movies I just like the challenge of finding things. I have seen 2 R-rated things (according to Canada's rating system), The Batman and Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.

@Owl1 - the vast majority of films PG, due to maximising profits. You can see that esp with Spielberg's output in the 70s and 80s, stuff like Jaws and Indy shouldnt really be aimed at little kids, but somehow got a pass, therefore ensuring greater revenue.
The US has that strange thing where many cinemas won't show a NC-17 (equiv to a UK 18) because... I don't know why? It's not like films of a lower certification are highly virtuous.

@Owl1 Why those two?

The Batman is basically diet Seven so why not just watch Seven. I found it well executed yet a mess due to the director and writer wanting to make different movies. The director wanted to make a story about how Batman battles his anger to embrace being a hero after being focussed on vengeance whilst the writer wanted to make a fallible human story akin to classic Batman stories like Venom or The Cult which ended up with a weird movie about Batman listening to Nirvana and literally calling himself a hero after watching two hours of him repeatedly failing to do anything he set out to do.

Planes, Trains & Automobiles is alright but over something from the long list of the R rated much talked cinema list like The Godfarther, Parasite, Alien, The Shawshank Redemption, Everything Everywhere All At Once, Trainspotting, Die Hard, Taxi Driver, Fight Club, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, The Matrix, Goodfellas, The Silence Of The Lambs, Pulp Fiction, No Country for Old Men, Mad Max Fury Road, Oldboy, A Fistful Of Dollars, Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, Get Out, Whiplash, A Quiet Place, Schindler's List, Beverly Hills Cop, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Moonlight, Kung Fu Hustle, Battle Royale, Blade Runner, Enter the Dragon etc etc etc* which are naturally higher on the list to see first for most people seems odd.

*I was tempted to write more to create the biggest block of writing ever but got bored.

Ooh, Three Colours: Blue is being rereleased in cinemas for its 30 anniversary. It's probably my favourite film (if one could have a fave film), and definitely my favourite when I was a teenager, but I've never seen it on the big screen. I believe White and Red are being rereleased as well.

@Owl1 I have never seen that movie lol! It’s good you say?

I really don’t mind if someone doesn’t find R rated movies to be there taste, I really don’t, it’s just when people act like there better the every one else and acts like your the problem for enjoying it. Honestly what your doing sounds like it’s working, so keep it up.

@Rambler I can never remember which one is which, was White the one about the guy left by his wife?

I think you've mentioned before you're from The North (but anything outside of London is The North to me) but a good place to see would be The Prince Charles Cinema in LUN-duhn Town as they have shown all of those Three Colour movies before just because they felt like it.

It's a very odd cinema as it jumps all over the place in who their audience is by mixing up arthouse, cult and pop culture films. Like I've seen Q&A from indie darling film makers, they showed The Mummy there not too long ago where Brandon Frasier came out to meet the fans, shown so many obscure arty foreign that even film students complain they are too arty, they hold a Rex Manning Day from Empire Records every year, I went to an all night marathon of the Batman cartoon movies once and have sing along musical showing but now also solve alongs too like Murder She Wrote. They are doing a showing and a Q&A with the director of Evil Dead Rises soon but instead of just buying the tickets I asked some mates if they fancied seeing only to see the tixs sell out by the time I heard back which is a shame as the trailer looks so SO good.
