[@3_A.M.]

Am I the only one who feels that the return of the little dancing skeleton as their mascot is a good omen?

[@thegroze]

Nope. Plus, I'm so happy that they're back to experimenting with a more punk rock sound, instead of the "suburban melancholic dance electropop rap" they've been stuck in ever since Demon Days. Not that I dislike their recent stuff, but I kind of gave up on it, since, to me, it obviously lacked that gut punch from the first album. You know, back when they featured this skeleton more prominently. :P

[@3_A.M.]

Pedro Capinha Actually I wasnt reffering to the skeleton as a throwback to the old days, I just love that little guy and I was kinda sad when they decided to leave him behind. And regarding to their new music, I really like it. I feel like Gorillaz is one of those bands who never really made bad music (not all of their songs are great but still, they're not bad) even If they went through numerous changes along the time they stay true to themselves.

That's one of the reasons I love Gorillaz. Instead of just showing the characters playing their instruments randomly, they take the time to do the correct notes. Even Russel's drum playing is correct.

Eddie Murphy said in a recent interview with Stephen Colbert that he refused his role on "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" because the idea of mixing cartoons with live-action would be disastrous. He did say that he regrets what he did. The thing is: he had no clue that *THIS* cartoon/live-action series could be so good.

[@Jimmyboygohome]

Is Eddie Murphy somehow part of this project or are you just saying?

[@ZiddersRooFurry]

@@Jimmyboygohome They're just making a commentary about the combination of live action and animation and how some people perceive it in a negative way (albeit in the past) vs their own positive feelings regarding the actuality of its effectiveness.

[@Junk-Troller]

Wow shame on Eddie Murphy for not knowing in 1988 that in 2020 this project would be a success.

[@codysnyder5190]

Go back do the song "Do ya Thang"

[@MarkFilipAnthony]

well, they're not interacting directly with the gorillaz characters, they're simply adding them in and rotoscoping elements into each shot. In Who framed Roger Rabbit the actors had to talk, touch and in general interact with the toons, which is a totally different process. the production of Who Framed Roger Rabbit was a horrible process, as no one on set really knew how it would look in the end, everyone simply pretending whats there. rotoscoping is adding drawn elements on top of allready shot footage without the actors in the scene expecting anything to be added. Despite in this video/series above the Gorillaz characters are made to fit into the scene, they'r enot directly involved with the real people. the problem with "acting with" cartoon characters is finidning the balance between acting naturally but also not over acting, as cartoon characters usually oversaturate everything. Which is part of the metajoke in Roger Rabbit.
