Unfortunate they weren't able to release the full length movie they filmed a couple years ago. Funny enough, I think all they had left were visual effects but their budget ran out

[@lukedaigle6911]

I recommended this a while ago. Glad other people are starting to recommend it now

[@jklappenbach]

Del Toro had been working on his version for years. This looks like Disney couldn't let Del Toro take the spotlight alone with a story that Disney felt like it owned. Which is telling, and sad. And it was obviously an emotional decision, as they didn't put out a competitor until it was almost too late.

[@nekokna]

Exactly! It made me sad that in the video they presented it like disney was first and then the others including del toros ☹️

Halo: Landfall invokes the same raw gritty sci-fi feel that District 9 had and the fact that they're over a decade old and still hold up super well is a testament to how good their film direction was.

[@tommymaxey2665]

I guess I'm in the minority here, but, I thought the Landfall one looked pretty janky in places.

[@Soliye.]

@@imdurc It was a proof of concept. They didn’t have to go full budget to show what they wanted to make. Yes the vfx are janky, but the action and all is still better than the Paramount show.

One thing I think helps is the lack of Spartans. Spartans have always been unnaturally fast compared to humans. It's hard to make that look good from a visual standpoint.

[@Soliye.]

​@@alexfrost2799 Nowadays Spartans are superheroes winning wars singlehandedly (Infinite). While in reality they are tools/weapons to change the tide of a battle.

Del Toro's Pinocchio was so good, it was so thoughtful and actually made the moral not shit. Everyone was a real character too, I've never cared about Japeto before.

[@LazyOldFusspot_3428]

I also love how Del Toro's Pinocchio counterpart is in sense, a light in the darkness for everyone he comes across who is having a hard time with their lives. He changes Geppetto, he changes Sebastian, he changes Candlewick, and even Spazzatura.

[@GrimmBones]

@@LazyOldFusspot_3428 Yeah. And the best part is that he wasn't a really good person immediately. He broke stuff without thinking, he rebelled against anything boring, he was a kid, but a chaotic one. Doesn't mean well, but not doing his best to be good. Once he learns how to be good is when he truly becomes a good influence on others. I just love it so much.

Hey, so I was working in MPC Bangalore as a character modeller until yesterday, and the Disney's Pinocchio was the 1st project I worked on. I was so burnt out by the work, i was running on fumes and only thing that kept me going was my respect for my leads, sup and production manager. I was SOOOO disappointed when I saw the movie, because how rushed the story felt. I never cared to know if I got credits in any film after this. And the amount of creative changes we were getting. I mean the design changes we were getting while the compositing was going on. It's just sad.

[@user-zh4vo1kw1z]

[@TheRibottoStudios]

God Disney's Pinocchio towards the end just looks like they literally ran out of budget so were like "Here....Do whatever you can with it." and just shoved it onto Disney+. Like it just FEELS so much like a direct to DVD movie. Meanwhile Del Toro's Pinocchio is a movie that RADIATES passion and love for the craft of animation. My parents even watched it and they HARDLY ever watch animations anymore. Takes a lot of convincing. But they loved it. And I love it. It's a gorgeous movie. I loved how the Life and Death sisters were like these biblically accurate designs and the concepts of life and death and what makes life meaningful, and what makes family family and the voice work and just EVERYTHING about it is incredible. I can't believe studios didn't want to back it. Their loss.

[@joeniedbala]

It was one of their "copyright renewal" films that would re-lock characters like Jiminy Cricket, Tinkerbell, Monstro, etc. When De Toro's was announced, they more than likely fast tracked it.

[@TheRibottoStudios]

@@joeniedbala I can buy that. I mean it's the same company that screwed copyright law so bad for the sake of keeping Mickey under their IP which I honestly understand as that's their mascot.

I do want them to talk more about Halo cinematics and other Halo shorts. Their ODST trailer was also freaking remarkable. Why oh why couldn't the show deliver

[@stirlinggreer]

Was gonna say this. that original ODST trailer with the funeral... best halo storytelling yet

[@JayYoung559]

The Reach segment where the original Noble 6 died is still one of the greatest Halo ads ever made

[@minizimi3790]

That ODST trailer should have been the baseline for the entire story. Can you imagine following an ODST squad through training (with a Spartan killing one of them after orders to attack said Spartan), fighting insurrectionist, then running into the covenant and fighting with said Spartan? Easy 2 seasons right there.

[@mikec4390]

I love how they mention Guillermo del Toro taking a dark spin on things when they go over his version of Pinocchio, because the original story is in fact really dark. Disney often takes dark stories and sanitizes them to try to make them more kids friendly (but then some aspects are still kind of twisted anyway if you really think about it).

[@SirsasthNigam.]

thats what Disney should do , make darker , truer to source live action films

i was able to watch Guillermo Del Toro's Pinocchio in theaters about a month before it came out on netflix and i have to say, it was one of the best theater experiences that i've had in a long time. seeing it on the big screen gave me the opportunity to truly appreciate the amount of work that was put into making what was a more than decade long passion project.

[@TeaGamingPanda]

Damn lucky! If only Netflix films have an all around theatre release for everyone to see, never heard Pinocchio getting it at any of mines. Especially the All Quiet on the Western Front, apparently Germany (I think) had a theatre release, but America didn’t. I think, no matter if films are made for streaming services, they should AT LEAST be in theatres too. Movie theatres is where all the magic is at and one can truly appreciate the craft to its full potential than just your TV. It’s a different experience!

Pinocchio: I honestly have to say that Guillermo's Pinocchio actually out-shined even the original Pinocchio movie, in terms of cinematic value. Not downplaying how beautifully animated the original was, but something about Del Toro's Pinocchio, the lovely songs and the amazing character designs, it just stuck with me a lot. Amazing movie, and I wanna see Del Toro produce even more animated/stop motion content (Yes I know he was in charge of Trollhunters; Trollhunters was amazing until the third season, we don't talk about 3Below, and Wizards was... all right). Halo: I am absolutely BAFFLED at how badly they bungled it. I'm thankful I never watched it, but holy shit I didn't realize how bad the animation was. It looked like the episode in Halo Legends "The Package", except that animation was pure 3D and had an excuse to look like that, because it was stylized. And we don't even get into everything wrong with the story, but let me say this: YOU DON'T CUT SGT. JOHNSON. YOU *NEVER* CUT SGT. JOHNSON.

We painted, added details, and he even made custom parts for specific scenes. His amazing and it gave me an incredible respect to stop motion animators.

[@nezfromhki]

One thing you guys didn't note on in the video, but what really takes me out at times with the Disney one is the color grading. Like at 4:10 , look at the levels of saturation between Jiminy Cricket and Pinocchio compared to the rest of the shot. The colors of the animated characters are popping off the screen, while the rest of the picture is very desaturated and grey. They don't look like they're in the same world at all. It could have been a deliberate choice at some point to make the animated characters feel like they're more "magical" and otherwordly, but it's just distracting with the otherwise photorealistic look. Edit: I guess they probably talk about this in the extended version, but I'm not going to pay just to find out :P

Very curious how they pulled it off. Not to mention Grover (the satyr's) goat legs are kind of amazing.

[@sporebryan2000]

true, they should react to percy jackson

[@PuppetRebelPress]

Fenner's face throughout the Disney's Pinochio sequences was priceless.😬

[@affigeralbert3967]

Please more episodes with Fenner! He knows so much about Vfx and Comp and he has so much interessting stuff to say. Would be cool.

[@Kobrakai21]

Fenner was a great addition to the couch. Looking forward to more from him and the rest of the crew. Cheers

[@cheddarssalad1230]

A lot to unpack in this video. I am flabbergasted that the Halo tv show looks like that. It’s ropey as hell. The Disney Pinocchio was also ropey. The cricket is so saturated in those boat shots that he doesn’t even look like he’s in the same movie. Loved the Del Toro one. My friends actually worked on it so congrats to Devon and Meg on the golden globe win. And I almost feel bad for the true story Pinocchio. If there weren’t 2 others the same year it would have been forgotten like it was intended. That said, it has probably made 5x as much money as it expected just because folks want to dunk on it.

[@MadMrMatter]

I'm a grown adult man and I loved the Guillermo del Toro Pinocchio lol super recommend

[@capsey_]

I would loved if you guys did an episode of animators react on Puss in Boots 2: The Last Wish! I really didn't expect anything from a sequel of a spin-off of a sequel of Shrek, but this movie is SO GOOD! Such a gorgeous movie and action is awesome as heck!

[@amadeusmalonje6948]

Some good material to react to

[@brannonhill4046]

A sequel to a spin-off from 11 years ago at that

[@Mariopwnzu]

The biggest tragedy about the Halo series is how fucking good the props are Like the entire prop and costuming team did amazing only for literally everyone else to just drop the ball entirely

[@kylereese584]

Since you’re on the subject of food and bad halo. I have just discovered a channel called “bacon media”. And he’s done a gorgeous peice of halo cinematic! It’s actually beautiful. It’s of the opening scene in halo one where you attack beach on halo.

[@wminion3890]

Guillermo Del Toro's Pinocchio is a 10/10, magical.

[@stevea2085]

After watching this video I will certainly watch his version and pass on the Disney one.

[@The_Horrorist80]

Yeah almost 40 watched del toro's pinochio and i cried a lot😂Such a good movie and voice actors🙌

[@jesterday3965]

I liked the first Halo movie that existed. I don't remember exactly which one it was, but I loved it. It felt good. I should find and rewatch it to see if it stands the test of time.

[@fakie182]

I recently rewatched Constantine, and I think it has a couple of great shots and other descent shots. Specially the angel wings, those shots are still amazing! Definitly deserves a rewatch

[@nightspicer]

Big congrats on getting the 6 million! I just wanted to say that the new Blender short would be awesome for the VFX series. As well as *Aslan from the Chronicles of Narnia!* where you could do a comparison to the "live action" Lion King. Also at the end of second CoN movie there's a big water creature, so it might be cool to see what you think about that. Maybe also, Max Schneider's Gibberish music video, the editing kinda breaks my brain there. The *last agni kai fight from ATLA* would be perfect for for the Animators React. It's so stunning! And for stuntmen react It would be cool to see you react to the duel from "Potop", it's really good sword fight (tho technically it's sabers i think)

[@cheddarbub6324]

I fully agree. Also I just saw a bot that copied your comment 💀 I got ur back

[@nightspicer]

@@cheddarbub6324 damn, that's a first time for me

[@Anatinea]

IIRC, they have already done a Aslan vs. Lion King comparison.

[@nightspicer]

@@Anatinea they did?? when?

[@alerocillo]

The Halo live action trailers for H3,H3ODST, and Halo reach will always hold a special place in my heart. It's the closest thing we'll get to a Great Halo live action film.

[@guillermozabala5094]

Remember reach

[@andykazoo]

I recommend SODAZ on KZbin

[@The_Horrorist80]

Yeah the reach one was freaking epic😁

[@geojimz]

Delivery Hope was amazing. I still watch the “directors cut” version every once in awhile. It was so epic.

[@gamertherapyconsoleyoursel5804]

I'd love to see the Crew react to the Red v Blue fight with Tex and compare that to the fights in the Halo show.

[@coldermusic2729]

You guys should look at halo forward unto dawn. It’s so GOOD!!! It was a series in 2012 created on KZbin to market halo 4 and be a possible starting point for a film adaptation too (which sadly never ended up happening). The series follows a cadet in training, where there base ends up getting attacked. It’s is such a cool and original concept as we never see the franchise in said peoples perspective. Not the best cgi in the world, but I think it still looks pretty amazing

[@2gamerzone7]

You guys should react to the flute scene from Alien: Covenant. I know you’ve covered clone shots before, but I personally found the interaction between the two quite interesting.

[@Hollyclown]

“I’ll do the fingering.”

[@smashdriven1640]

I loved Sam’s reactions to Pinocchio A True Story.

[@jonsimo]

I always love when Sam is on VFX Artists react, guaranteed guttural laughter every time 😂

[@patriksanchez1240]

The Pinocchio VS was so entertaining lmao. A Dune comparison (Lynch 84, Mini Series 2000, Villeneuve 2021) would be insane.

[@trapofonidrillore185]

This was suggested to me while listening to the song “Dupe- Gangsta” 🥶🥶🥶

[@blackfire-yf7hi]

I always appreciate your guys thoughts and insights to how visual effects are used in films. It gives me a new appreciation for the craft and the films that I've watched. same for stunt works.

[@shadowthoughts7959]

I'm just grateful for the fact that I'm not the only one still nerding out at the Halo movie concept all this time later. If I would suggest anything, it'd be comparisons between Star Trek DS9's effects and those of its contender at the time, Babylon 5.

[@dylon2932]

The Core (2003) would be a good one to look at! Early-ish era VFX, trying to do bold things, fails, succeeds, and nobly tries to incorporate practical effects alongside its VFX only to have the latter look worse as a result.

[@DiMono]

In 2014 Microsoft put out a movie in support of Halo 5 called Halo: Nightfall. I recall it being pretty good, and it's probably worth taking a look at in a future episode. Also, Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn was FANTASTIC for 2012 when it came out, also produced by Microsoft. It's amazing what happens when the people who own the IP put it to use.

[@reddishcarp1237]

Halo Nightfall is regarded by vast majority of halo fans as shit.

[@DiMono]

@@reddishcarp1237 4.1/5 on Prime Video and 67% on Rotten Tomatoes seems to contradict that claim. You not liking a thing does not necessarily mean others don't like that thing. 😉

[@TuffMelon]

@@DiMono ...and a 67% is pretty shit on a rating system. Nor does it tell you how many of that 67% are actually Halo fans or even know about the content. 67% at best tells you it isn't the worst thing ever. It could be terrible Halo content which is dumb fun enough to attract likes from people who don't know better. Same goes in reverse, dude. Liking something doesn't make it good, either.

[@SalelakaMokonzi]

I never heard of Halo: Nightfall, and will have to check it out. I was also going to mention Forward Unto Dawn which based on my memory and what I just saw here, had substantially better story telling and graphics.

[@DiMono]

@@TuffMelon Considering it was released specifically to promote Halo 5 and it wasn't publicized beyond that audience *at all*, I would expect that only people who play the game or are familiar with the IP were even aware that it existed. 67% liking it is 2 out of 3, which is a far cry from the "vast majority" thinking it's shit. I'm not claiming that me liking it means other people like it, I'm saying the evidence does not support a consensus that everyone thinks it's bad. In fact, most people seem to think it was pretty okay.

[@RA-nu7zh]

I know this might be ALOT of work for you guys but for the 100th episode. One idea is to gather all scenes you have reacted to throught this whole time and make a vote on the best 100 scenes. Relive them again and maybe have some new ideas. I am not saying this is a good idea. Merely, an idea. Love to you guys, from Sweden. You do not know how much you have helped me, keep my head up, the last 2 years.

[@wesleywatkins1505]

Halo Reach and Halo 3: ODST trailers have my favourite shots because they're so integral to the story telling, reach especially. I still watch those trailers because they give me chills. I'd love to see you do the Halo Reach trailer one day!

[@moveitorlose21]

If y’all liked Halo Landfall, you should check out that short promo for Halo 3 ODST with the guy enlisting and going to fight. Has the same rawness and intensity as Landfall with more emotion added

[@darthtater38]

Love seeing the HALO content! Keep up the good work! It's worth noting that Halo Landfall came out in 2007 as promotional material for halo 3, not 2012. Bungie uploaded the video to youtube in 2012, hence the confusion.

[@JocelynMakenna]

I would love to see y'all talk about doctor who. Anything from classic who to the beginning of the reboot into the new stuff (specifically the flux arc!!)

[@eduardoblando4518]

Great work guys! Some things you should look at: Oats studio: little series with the love, death and robots vibe. The gate: old terror movie Fringe: great series about multiverse Thanks!

[@cstephen98]

You should have included a reaction to the original Disney Pinocchio. That would have been the Avatar or Jurassic Park of its time and animation being that it was only the second Disney full-length animation after Snow White. It's really just a set of (stunning) set pieces, showcasing what Disney had learned and invented in the animation field tied, together by a simple narrative.

[@GoodPintOfAle]

Go guys. I would like to suggest you a challenge. Take old movie with practical effects and try to recreate it in cgi. Like Jason and Argonauts or Clash of Titans. What do you think?

[@NightFoxZero]

The forward unto dawn halo short film was also a great take on live-action halo. Super well done

[@Ethamular]

Was watching Pandorum (2009) last week, it was an interesting watch. Some janky stuff with sped-up footage, but also some interesting little visual effects like a simple lazer razor that felt right at home in a spaceship.

[@KatsuyosDimension]

I am probably too late, but please do the Lillith teleportation fight from S02E01 of Warrior Nun

[@markfergerson2145]

I know you've looked at Who Killed Roger Rabbit before but to me it's practically the peak of mixing hand drawn animation and live action. There's a lot there to look at again. Last Action Hero did some too, mostly as a in joke but it was well done.

[@darryljack6612]

Instead of including a Halo segment yall should have included an examination of graphical quality of the video game "Lies Of P". Which is another Pinocchio property with a Bloodborne type vibe to it.

[@benjaminsillence8278]

16:03 is everything I feel when watching the old HALO footage... so much potential...

[@miles9760]

You should definitely watch some of the live action commercials for Halo 3, ODST and Reach

[@curlysue1134]

The original animated 101 Dalmations, the 90s/2000s remakes, and then the newest Cruella movie comparison of the dog animation would be really interesting, since it spans so much time and changes.

[@khaaaaaaaaaannn]

Me and Sam both wheezed with laughter at the same point, and said "wow" at the exact same moment. Sam is my spirit animal

[@thedovahkiin7896]

I always liked Huell, he was one of the few people of Saul I considered to be actually kinda nice. Glad to see he's now doing business with you guys :)

[@loganproksch9305]

thank you for talking about Halo, hopefully someone is listening out there and tries to do it right. I am still waiting for the film industry to recognize you guys and ask you to work on something though. I keep waiting for your logo to show up in movie credits or something, it's obviously clear that directors and people across the board respect you guys. I hope it comes through for you all, love your content btw.

[@CodyVibbart]

As someone who has seen animated movies, I can honestly say that this is good.
