So back in 4th grade, we all went to the auditorium to watch the polar express. For some reason, whenever anything whimsical or exciting happened, some of the kids started to excessively clap on purpose to piss off the teachers. As the movie went on, every single kid in the room started doing it. It got so bad that the teachers all went into a panic and had to turn the movie off because of how annoyed they were. It was the most special experience i had in elementary school

So, as someone who actually worked at IMD (yeah, i'm in that end credits scene of Mars Needs Mom, wishing for death to end my suffering) I have to say that even though the movies may be bad, I'm still proud of the work we did. True, the stories, character designs and editing may have been better, but that has more to do with the directors and writers than anything. As you said so your self, the animation and technology was getting better and the studio was developing really breakthrough stuff before getting shut down. Even though a lot of the tech and principles developed at IMD would later be used in almost every visual effects movie now, money talks and our movies didnt bring in what Disney expected. It really sucked being stuffed into a conference room and being told you just lost your job for something you had no control over (my rhythm &hues and Tell Tale friends know the feeling). But in the end, in a developmental aspect, IMD's tech was on to something and other studios knew this. So you can thank them and the development of motion Capture for all the cool game cinematics and VFX movies you see today.

It essentially made me paranoid to be apart from my mother right as I was getting out of that phase. I thought if my mom mowed the lawn, aliens would kidnap her. This might seem fickle, but I was scarred and about 2 years of my life were ruined. This is not a fucking joke.

The Christmas Carol was a movie I watched when it came out in theaters and almost every year in late elementary school through middle school. Mars Needs Moms looked horrible to me from the first time I saw the commercial on TV. Eventually I was forced to watch the movie with my family in a family movie night. We rented the DVD and wasted over an hour of our lives watching that piece of garbage.

I knew it was bad and that the visuals were wierd and I said it when we started watching it, but seeing how my mom, who was rarely able to enjoy stuff, enjoyed it anyway, I stayed in the living room and watched it with her. Instead of the bad things, I focused on the goos ones, like the message, which is now very fitting. That movie reminds me that my mother loved me and cared for me all the way until her last day. RIP

@ECKohns "In the movie he’s morally grey, gives into temptation and his death is instead a consequence for not following through on killing the monsters for real." I get the themes of the movie. The problem is, if they wanted to explore those themes, then *WRITE YOUR OWN STORY!* Don't bastardize a preexisting piece of literature. I understand that adaptations often take liberties, and sometimes it pays off greatly. Here it didn't, and not only that, the themes explored are just as cliched as the original. Only the original has an excuse because it's ancient. The reason Beowulf annoys people is the same reason shitty reboots annoy people. It changes what never needed to be changed when it could have just done its own thing. If it wasn't named Beowulf, and didn't pretend to be an adaptation nobody would be so annoyed. Then again, nobody would have seen it either.

If anything, its only a disappointment after seeing the movie, its a great story. I'm always going to defend the movie even though its clearly got its problems. One way to cope from its dissociation with the source material is to...you know, the same way of enjoying a film like we all enjoyed 300 even though it was so goddamn clear not well connected to the actual events of the 1st persian wars.

It kept the spirit of the original book (lifting every scene from the original illustrations in the film in beautiful detail), had breathtaking visuals, amazing motion capture acting by Tom Hanks, gorgeous arctic landscapes, warm Christmas feelings, a bittersweet ending, and one of the best musical scores I’ve ever heard on film. Of course, I can agree it can be a bit unnerving to some with its graphics veering into uncanny valley territory, but it never really bothered me any now or as a kid.

mocap is a valid technique, the problem Image was that they wanted to make the character look as realistic as possible. A good animator will use mocap as a guideline, but will add his own artistry to it, to make it more animated.
@warbossgegguz6795 жыл бұрын
Mocap has been used effectively in video games for years before any of this stuff came out.
@SaberToothPortilla5 жыл бұрын
@@warbossgegguz679 I'd hazard a guess that a lot of the more bothersome characteristics of mo-cap stick out more in film just because you're more used to seeing uncanniness in games anyhow. Or, it could just be that the film industry was less skilled with the technical aspects than the game industry was. Closer to the tech, worked with it longer (or at least more frequently), it seems reasonable that it'd be better in games. Or it might just be that it was more sparse in games. There might be a sweet spot where a little mo-cap is great, but too much and you really start to notice.
@warbossgegguz6795 жыл бұрын
@@SaberToothPortilla I think the difference is that in video games they aren't typically aiming for realism. Also, games utilize mocap primarily for the sake of convenience. Most games that utilize mocap have a lot of in-engine cutscenes or cinematic shots, so having mocap to go off of helps with the animation process when you don't have time to pre-render everything. Plus, pre-rendering usually hampers immersion. Everything suddenly looking 10 times better out of nowhere will do that.
@warbossgegguz6795 жыл бұрын
@@HydraSpectre1138 I mean, examples of games that extensively use mocap that spring to mind immediately for me are DMC, Metal Gear, basically every 3D fighting game, and Uncharted, all of which feature semi-realistic character designs, and all of which have mostly in-engine cutscenes/animation. So basically, if they want to render semi-realistic characters on the fly in video games, odds are they use mocap just because it's way easier and more efficient. Hence most of these movies still by and large have more advanced visuals than most of the games I just listed (save for the more recent ones like MGSV or DMC5). Because it's not about looking pretty, it's about convenience. It's just easier to use mocap footage as a base than to keyframe everything in when you're not going for cartoony animation.

In that case, the fact that Disney actually rejected the idea of a remake of Yellow Submarine with Robert himself may have been for the best. Though honestly, I think it's the CGI might be the issue and not the motion capture. Then again, Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children didn't look so creepy.

PAN HOW DARE YOU INSULT MY FAAVORITE CHRISTMAS MOVIE OF ALL TIME THE POLAR EXPRESS IS AMASING!!!!!111!!! For real tho The Polar Express will forever and always be one of my favorite movies of all time mostly because of what it meant to me when I was a kid. The whimsy and creep factor to me help make the movie unique, it's strangely captivating. Then again I watched it so many times as a kid I practically know the entire movie word for word and know most of the music that plays during each moment. The movie has a lot of flaws, that's for sure, but it's style and atmosphere really get me. I think the best moment of the movie isn't any of the really big action scenes or even the ones most associate with the movie, my favorite scene is when the main character goes on top of the train to find the girl and instead finds the Hobo, talks to him, then skis on the train as it goes downhill. The whole scene perfectly encapsulates the entire movie, from the haunting and frantic score, to the excellent voicework by Tom Hanks, and even the hints of this whole thing being either a dream or something far more frightening.

A guy is tasked with slaying a supernatural Angelina Jolie, but he can't bring himself to do it. He lies to the aging king, claiming he succeeded, thus winning the hand of the princess and becoming the next king. But Jolie returns years later to exact her revenge...with the help of dragon.

Without modern anime stuff like Death Parade (my favorite), Steins Gate, Madoka Magica, and even Mushishi if 2005 counts. There’s many great things to come from the modern era, maybe not as revolutionary but you can’t revolutionize an industry every few years.

My problem with Monster House is that even as a child I thought the animation looked weird, not the designs, they are fine, but seeing these cartoony designs move with the speed and realism of a real human body unsettles me. Otherwise I'm fine with mo-cap as long as they don't shove the camera 10 inches away from the face of the characters.

I think they used uncanny valley to their advantage, not quite real and not quite fake. That's why the movie still makes me unsettled to this day

I enjoyed the Polar Express. It has the certain charm that makes it a classic. So does Disney's A Christmas Carol to an extant.

Man Pan's right about the whole "if you play enough video games the visuals won't put you off," because, man do I feel mostly unphased by these visuals all around. Like not completely, but I'm not as fucking freaked out or outright terrified by these visuals as everyone else claims to be.

I never understood people thinking these movies were creepy. It's not nearly realistic enough to be "uncanny valley" for me. Monster House was definitely the best of the bunch though, I agree.

I agree, I can understand uncanny valley with cgi like Tarkin in rogue one and maybe Beowulf, but for the most part, these movies have an art style that's not aiming for super realistic

And to think Robert Zemeckis was going to direct a Yellow Submarine remake using that very same technology before Disney finally pulled the plug on Image Movers Digital...

I guess you are right. But “calling all robots” sounds like a kickass movie, and the concept art for the monsters looks soo fucking good. The fact that something like this got cancelled is just going to disturb me till i die.
@emanuelepolloni40025 жыл бұрын
I doubt. The original movie was an animated drug trip, but too much uncanny valley would have ruined it. Still, I would have watched it just to see how trippy it would have become under Zemeckis hands.

The MOCAP style for The Polar Express is just so nostalgic, I'm glad they used it.
