Fantastic set here. I loved the Guardians of Ga'hoole novels (I read them all throughout elementary school), they're one of my favourite childrens' series alongside Silverwing, Wolf Brother and Deltora Quest. I absolutely adored the movie's style and the feeling you got from watching it, but the pacing was botched and rushed. Mind you, I think using the first three book as a basis for a first film was a great idea, because that's one epic story, but it seriously could've benefited from a longer running time (they fit three ~250-paged books into a single 1.5-hour movie for Christ's sake).

The fifth Pokémon movie (Pokémon Heroes) was also my favourite one out of the ones I've seen (1-10).

As for The Lion King, it alongside The Brave Little Toaster and The Land Before Time are my favourite animated films.

Its a shame I never was able to read all the books, I got the 3 firsts but wal-mart is doing a shitty job having all of them. I got to watch the movie in 3D though, it was amazing, its still the best 3D movie I have ever watched.

How did I forget this even existed,I read all the books for it in primary school. The last one was pretty dark and disturbing though. Loved the show of 11 episodes.

Half of the pokemon movies made me cry for some reason. I watched all of them except for the 8th one with lucario. Went on a pokemon movie spree last year. I like how they keep airing the 4th to 7th movie during December on our cartoon channel so I can always watch them in French during that time.

Never in my life would I have thought that there would be a movie about a brave Toaster.

I seriously need to watch that one. ( Oh lord, what the heck is the French title "The little dinosaur and the valley of wonders" oh my god. )

I actually thought the show was pretty bad, it made Shade look like an asshole you couldn't feel any sympathy for. The book made his slight narcissism more relatable because he was shown to be a genuinely intelligent, abstract thinker, something they completely left out of the show; there, his motivation consisted of wanting to be the centre of attention and trying to be 'smart' by making as many bad puns as possible. The voice acting was also atrocious, but perhaps there's a chance the French version did a better job of it.

Mmm, it really is something special. Toy Story was, in fact, directly based off of the Brave Little Toaster, which was the original story about household appliances coming to life when no one is looking, and going on a journey to find their master who went off to college, thinking they were abandoned. Here, take a look at this clip from near the beginning:



It's just a personal thing, but to me, it feels a lot more genuine than Toy Story. I'll explain why, and also give a rundown of what I feel about each of the three Toy Storys:

- The first one I really don't like, and this is coming from someone who grew up with and loved it (back then). It's just cold, everyone in it is a complete jerk, and their motivations solely consist of wanting to make everyone else as miserable as possible. I only noticed this after watching it again about two years ago. I was rooting for absolutely no one in that movie.

- Toy Story 2 was a vast improvement, it's absolutely excellent, and I'd put it as one of my top ten favourite animated films. The characters suddenly become extremely likable, the graphic design is marvellous, and the story is awesome, touching, action-packed and creative.

- The third movie, while I still like it more than the first, bugs me, and it completely warrants a comparison with the Brave Little Toaster, given that the plot is literally the exact same - the progression, and even exact setpieces are taken straight from it. Since one of the Brave Little Toaster's producers actually worked on the script for Toy Story 3, I don't have a big problem with the idea, because it could simply be him wanting to remake the film to be much better. If you don't believe me on the stories being literally identical, I'll quote something I wrote last year:

• In The Brave Little Toaster, 'Master' has moved away and gone to college, but he left his favourite appliances behind with plans to retrieve them later to bring along with him to his dormitory. Meanwhile, the appliances, being told that they were abandoned, go out on a long journey to find him, eventually being betrayed by seemingly loyal and new-found acquaintances, getting themselves dumped in a garbage truck and eventually stuck on a crusher yard conveyer belt. They are then saved at the last second, and reunited happily with their Master.
• In Toy Story 3, Andy has moved away and gone to college, but he left his favourite toys behind with plans to give them to a younger kid. Meanwhile, the toys, being told that they were been abandoned, go out on a long journey to find him, eventually being betrayed by seemingly loyal and new-found acquaintances, getting themselves dumped in a garbage truck and eventually stuck on a crusher yard conveyor belt. They are then saved at the last second, and reunited happily with their Master, being passed on to the younger girl.

The problem, however, is that all it really became is a much more Hollywood-ised version of the movie, and the context is far less impactful than it is in TBLT: The household appliances are all old and out-of-date, and no one would rebuy them anyway; they weren't "abandoned" because of their own fumbling hastiness (like in Toy Story 3), they waited a long, long time for their Master to return. They also put a lot more focus on the individual traits and forms of the appliances, and each of their functionalities are directly related to the way they navigate through the environments, and the troubles they encounter. If one of them weren't along for the ride, they wouldn't have been able to survive. Toy Story 3, while a good film by all means, just feels like a fiercely poor and unoriginal attempt at recreating the Brave Little Toaster. Aside from the basic premise of the story, the fact that they were toys and their limitations/abilities as a result of it really had little to no bearing on the story, characters or progression.

And hey, if Toy Story 3 actually turns out to not be an attempted retelling of the Brave Little Toaster (whether it is or not was never confirmed, only inferred), then I have all the more reason to no not like it, because it only goes to show that all the strange, almost contrived situations (since they aren't appliances, rather toys) find themselves in aren't because they were there in TBLT, but because of mediocre writing.

Yup, you sure do, it is, in all respects, a masterpiece. I'm really trying to refrain from showing a clip, so I'll instead post a bit of the soundtrack:

(1:20)


Not only is this my favourite movie of all time, it also has one of my favourite film scores ever written. There's rarely a point in the film in which some level of orchestral accompaniment isn't present, and it always acts as the perfect accommodation to what's going on. Interestingly, this wonderful melody is based off of Diana Ross' "If We Hold On Together", which was in turn featured during the ending credits:



2:45 is absolutely perfect.

Coincidentally, I only about two years ago noticed who this was, and Ross also happens to be one of my favourite power-ballad artists. Yes, I at times have a bit of a thing for such anthemic pieces, but only the really, really excellent ones I actually bother sharing.


Definitely watch this movie, in fact, it's only 72 minutes. This is because the original print of the film (95 minutes) was too violent/graphic, and it apparently caused so many of the children in the pre-screening audience to cry and/or scream that they had to stop it only part way through, and they ended up cutting almost half an hour worth of material out - because the movie was already only days from being shown in public cinema, this is one of the few films around to see a theatrical release shorter than 90 minutes, which is generally the minimum (commercials included). While the cut is perfectly warranted and understandable, I wish the original were still in-tact somewhere, because I really wonder to what lengths Don Bluth must've gone to legitimately traumatise so many children.

I really love the animated films of Laika (Coraline, ParaNorman) and Tim Burton (The Nightmare Before Christmas, Corpse Bride) the most. And from cartoons, of course Adventure Time and Invader Zim. Sure there's a lot of more, but I have a soft spot especially for horrorish and dark animation that scares the shit out of kids.

I saw the show before reading the books, I don't really remember much of the show since I last saw it when I was about 7 years old. The voice acting in French is good from my view though. http://www.wat.tv/video/silverwing-01-v ... 7ptt_.html

Well that is sure interesting, looks like it got a nice story too, I might watch it later. Poor air conditioner.

I honestly never really liked Toy Story and only watched the first one when I was younger, there is something I just don't like a all about it, but whoa what were they even thinking...

I already saw a clip with a T-rex chasing some tiny dinosaur and then a brontosaur fighting it but that was all I saw. That soundtrack sounds amazing though! Going to watch that later today, I've been thinking about watching it since July now but was too lazy.

My god, was it that horrible? We will probably never know, wish they could have maybe put it in the bonus section of a DVD version or something.
That sounds a bit how some stuff from The Lion King 2 was cut.

If they had kept that it would have looked better from my view and there wouldn't be this weird bug with the sound needing that ridiculous drop sound that you hear in bugs bunny and the sort. I doubt children would even know what really happened there anyway.

I have a feeling they cut that because it, in all honesty, doesn't make a lot of sense as to why she would do that. On the other hand, I can completely turn around and state the exact opposite, because even though her personality throughout the movie doesn't make her seem like the kind of person who would willingly die or whose main motivation was to not let Kiara help her, it does partially match the mindset of an enraged widow, seeing how she's lost, knowing that if she can't avenge Scar's death, she might as well join him.

Adsolution wrote: knowing that if she can't avenge Scar's death, she might as well join him.

This was what it was going to be used for, or well, its what the TLK fans thinks as far as I know.
There was another deleted scene that was pretty touching that got deleted for no apparent reasons where one of her sons died under the wood pile saying his last words, I can't find it though.

Yay a thread I haven't posted in yet. I'll make my list.

Movies:
-Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
-The Truman Show
-Planes, Trains and Automobiles
-The Legends of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'hoole
-Total Recall
-How to Train Your Dragon
-Vacation
-Wreck-It-Ralph
-Harry Potter series

I feel like I'm forgetting at least four or five of all my time favourites.

TV:
-Blackadder
-Avatar

Yeah, I haven't watched many shows. Dunno why but not until recently I've really gained interest in them again and I'm making some decent progress with Avatar now. Any recommendations?
