@@SuLokify madhouse didnt go bankrupt from this movie but they are a shadow of their former selves, they made some of the most iconic animes of the 90s and early 2000s but haven't done much of note since. this is due to one of their core directors leaving though and taking a lot of talent with them to their new studio, not just their budgetary constraints.

[@richardmazkin9994]

@@jacklobb3510 In addition, that was actually one of Madhouse's cheaper projects. While other projects had 50+ people on them, Redline's core team was less than 20 people. Which likely contributed to the time over-run but kept the idea of what they wanted concise an reduced operating expenses. The movie largely flopped due to a non-existent advertising leading to it's release.

Hi guys, I love your channel, just a couple of corrections regarding “The thief and the cobbler”. I worked on the film in 1990 and I personally know Simon, the guy who rotated the city. It took him over a year to animate that piece, but the animation was done on normal 15’ field paper. The enormous layout that you see on the floor was drawn by Roy Naisbitt for a camera truck-out from the kings lips the whole desert and was called “Mouth to mountain”. It is 4 by 2.5 meters in size and contains some 3000 individual buildings. It took about 16 months of Roy’s spare time to draw and after he died I inherited that drawing. (No idea where to put it, as I don’t have a wall big enough for it.) Richard Williams did animate on 15' field ‘scope’ paper, which is 30 inches wide and pretty hard to flip when you’re animating. As to Brad Bird and his storyboarding process, the clips you show are already rough animation, not the full frame count but also no longer storyboard or animatic. I saw the animatic for the Iron Giant, back at Warner Brothers and it was certainly more involved then the Toy Story boards you showed here. Brad made extensive use of After FX to layer, parallax shift and move drawings, but the stuff here is certainly already animated. Keep up the good work, Toodlepip F.S.

Crazy to think it was considered a flop too, only gained a somewhat beloved following after it's home video release.

Definitely made for a younger audience, not sure what that dude is talking about.

[@JackMellor498]

It’s legitimately my favourite film of all time. I have like “movie buff cinephile” picks for fav film, but in terms of its qualities and themes and characters and sheer humanity in a way that speaks to my very soul to the kind of person I want to be almost, The Iron Giant does it all for me. Hogarth and his kind nature towards helping the Giant and teaching him the best of humanity was so endearing to me as a kid.

[@Ilsezwarts]

Its insane that youre putting up this content basically for free. This is amazingly educational. You're really adding to cinematic literacy. The more the audience understands, the more we will be able to recognize what isn't good art, the more companies have to let artists make great stuff. (Although Disney can get away with everything with how big they've gotten..) EDIT: guys I know they are getting paid, they have sponsorships in every video and I'm not blind. But I can watch it without directly paying them, which is pretty significant for the quality of this information. Like, there's tons of videos with industry professionals explaining their field, but the majority of them just explain the basics. But with each of these episodes they really touch on great educational stuff. (not that this will 100% teach you how to animate, but it's still relevant to artists)

[@dylanwatson8133]

There is absolutely no way that they would do this for free. Every video is sponsored and they run ads. If they didn't make money off of it they wouldn't do it, just listen to what Niko says about passion vs. profit at 10:14. Corridor Crew is in the business of making money.

When you remarked about how some people still see animation as "for kids," it stirred me. Saying that is like saying watercolors are only for kids. Animation can be for anyone, and it can be as adult or childlike as you want it to be. I'd love to show one of the animation poo-pooers something like _Fritz the Cat_ or _Heavy Metal,_ then ask them if all animation is for kids.

Fritz the Cat at least (I've not watched Heavy Metal) is more for teens than for adults. I would show them When the Wind Blows or Plague Dogs instead (then you can also collect a bucket of their tears to throw at them)

@@phillewis2630 So so, I feel Watership Down and other movies like Felidae (or any hiperviolent anime that live by nothing else) will instead make most of the anticuated think "adult" animation is only exploitation or sensacionalist film making, and in the case of the rabbit movie, the violence will make them not pay that much attention over the more interesting themes (dictatorships and communities). To make them respect animation, we need to beat them at their own game, mostly through the kind of movies that have appeal to less niche groups, including more regular people (those searching for romantic fare could watch something like Ethel & Ernest or Chico & Rita, for example) as well as the ones searching for something more explicitely intellectual but with little to no violence allienating them (like the movies I mentioned in my previous comment plus something like Tragedy of Man, Angel's Egg or Patlabor 2).

I consider Redline a bit of a tragedy, because it's a gorgeously animated movie with a highly distinct visual style and some absolutely jaw dropping moments that really show off the time investment. But everything aside from the visual aspect just... isn't very good. This gorgeous animation was just a colossal waste of time.

[@curtiswfranks]

[@DigiiFox]

@@Biscotum I disagree. While the plot is relatively simple it works just fine. No glaring plot holes, good pacing and character development. Not everything has to be hugely elaborate or have a mind melting plot.

[@UmbrellaGent]

You should absolutely react to "Destino" - the collaboration between SALVADOR DALI and WALT DISNEY. It actually had been left unfinished for a very long time (since they figured it was simply too complicated and expensive to animate) until they completed it many years later with help of some CGI (How fitting for the channel). It's a fantastic piece of surreal animation and it's easily available on KZbin. It's nice that you talked about Richard Williams and The Thief and The Cobbler. I've been requesting it since forever. I completely disagree, however, with the criticism that Williams focusing on visuals rather than the story is somehow a negative. His entire passion and career were built on the idea of creating visuals that would blow you away just by themselves. The Thief and the Cobler was meant to be a cathedral of hand-drawn animation.

[@BasicallyImCrap]

I'm so glad you guys showed and talked about the Theif and the Cobbler. That 3d looking shot is just one of many in that film; it is absolutely insane! On the one hand 30 plus years is too much time for any company to take on. A story like theif and the cobbler wouldn't have made its money back. But even though a lot of the animation in the film is simply there for Willaims vision and doesn't really serve the purpose of the film's story I think it actually surves the purpose of the film. It's one of my favorite movies to watch because it is such a massive passion project. Its animation for the sake of the love and passion of animation. And perhaps the film didn't need to be that long to accomplish that but nonetheless, the peices of it that exist are a treasure. Ps. Would love it if you guys talked about Promare. I was completely blown away with its style and animation and I would like some insight on how they accomplished that.

The first Incredibles is a masterpiece. Bird embraced the limitations, going for a Deco poster art look that is much cleaner than the other early Pixar. Story is top notch. You didn’t mention that the Iron Giant was CG, but with a custom filter that would add a certain amount of variability to the line art, so it looked hand drawn or traced. Also, have a look at Bird’s “The Spirit” concept trailer. Wish we could have seen that film!
