The three Miyazaki themes: 1. Man vs Nature 2. The independent young girl striving for her place in a world against her (she often has short hair or has her hair cut short during the movie) 3. Planes :)

"This isn't about repeating or recycling; it's about refining." I both love that this is a great line on its own in the general, everyday meanings of the word... AND in the literal, chemical-process sense the latter needs the first two. I think that builds on the Guillermo del Toro quote in a wonderful way - and in first noticing that and now writing this comment, I have also done all three!

Who's here in 2024 after Pixar had that interview saying that they will only do sequels now?

I liked very much the SHAZAM film (aka CAPT, MARVEL) BUT i'd like to see a vintage 30s set version which could well be directed by Joe Johnston

I'm a big fan of THE SHADOW starring Alec Baldwin (also a 90s film that probably failed for about the same reasons) it all feels VERY authentic & oozes class, like ROCKETEER it has become an under the radar cult classic, do you like THE SHADOW?

Why would you say that CAPT, AMERICA ( as you know made by the same Director) did better? perhaps because Capt America already had a fan base, or maybe because it was released in the trend of Super hero films. despite a much bigger budget, it is still old school corn set during the war years.

I would argue that modern movies are not made by 'an artist', directors may be responsible for the vision in general, but there are countless cases of directors not being passionate about a project, doing it because they need the money or experience to move on to things they want to create. But lets be real, movies are often dictated by studios and investors. They aren't being made as a passion project on weekends by someone with a full time job. They are, in part design by committee corporate projects. So it feels a bit disingenuous to say editing a movie is a destruction of an artist's vision, because compromise with studios, budgets and timelines has already interrupted a clear monolithic vision. Not to mention that it's not the result of one artist, it involved hundreds of other people all contributing their craft of lighting, costuming, writing, etc.. Taking the least cynical view; a movie is already the collaboration of hundreds or thousands of artists working together, but somehow the one extra contribution afterwards is crossing a line for the integrity of the vision seems absurd.

If Criterion had a movie of the month club (like the old Columbia House or Disney club), I'd be the first to sign up. I have not found a single movie they released that I didn't like. These movies are not just entertainment, they are life changing.

Amazing editing

I only have 10 Criterion Collection Blu-rays, but I thoroughly enjoy them as I enjoyed this video.

I like the HAL9000 fan edit of the Phantom Menace. It does not eliminate Jar Jar Binks but it just minimizes his excesses. That in turn makes him a more interesting character.

If only Ray Harryhausen were hired by Marvel to make 60s and 70s live-action/stop-motion adaptations where CGI was not around. We wouldn't even need to cheaply cast someone like Lou Ferrigno as The Incredible Hulk; or have The Invincible Iron Man marching around looking like a red garbage bin with limbs.

I remember I liked Looney Tunes Back in Action when I rented it on DVD from Blockbuster. It's a shame that the movie was such a box office disaster, but the convoluted story seemed to suggest to me that the movie had some kind of behind-the-scenes trouble. I'll confess that I do like Space Jam better but Back in Action is far more respectful of the source material. Thank you for discussing this movie @Royal Ocean. I did love Explorers as a a kid but haven't seen the movie in nearly 30 years. I didn't notice the troubled production at the time. I did think that Gremlins 2 was hilarious, but wasn't as good as the original. You should send this to Joe Dante for his amusement!

The marketing of the Rocketeer was terrible - it deserved so much better.

I just don’t like the fact that animated films are judged based on their animation alone when there are far more important visual technical elements such as cinematography, lighting, color and camera work.

Where can I watch the original interview?

For those coming back to this video, I highly recommend the book 'Making the Cut at Pixar', by former senior editor Bill Kinder. Not only a very resourceful book, with tons of behind the scenes footage and interviews as bonus material, but also filled with great anecdotes from the studio during the creation of some of the most iconic scenes in Pixar movies. As he stated in the masterclass he held a couple of months ago, "Pixar's movies are great, because they start out as terrible movies, and it's a joint effort to find what works and what doesn't."

People need the introduction to this movie somehow, and I love that!

Yep, Annette was a hottie!

I loved this movie. I rewatch it every now and then simply because its a fun time. Its very lighthearted and comes with plenty of impressive action scenes and funny moments. I find the animation and mocap, for this movie, very pretty. Idk, i like it.

I hate children's movies, yet Fantastic Mr. Fox sits proudly in my Letterboxd top four. I didn't even see the film for the first time until I was in my mid twenties. How fantastical!

Nice video thank you

I loved the movie especially Andy Serkis nailed it as Haddock ❤❤❤

I thought this was a great film, the animation is great, really surprised me when I found out that it wasn't live action

Being boring isn't the issue with the movie.. The issue is the over-the-top "creative license" taken on this based-on-a-true story.

4:12 - 4:19 (speaking of Stephen Bosustow) you note: "Bosustow desperately wanted to start his own animation studio" , then jumping to around 6:14 - 6:30 it is suggested that Stephen Bosustow started Industrial Film and Poster Service , but at 6:31 we see a photo of three men: on the left side are Zack Schwartz and David Hilberman (unnamed in your video) , with Steve Bosustow looking on from the right side ... Zack Schwartz and Dave Hilberman were the co-founders of Industrial Film and Poster Service (which became UPA) . It seems an unfortunate oversight to not mention this fact, implying that the sole founder was Stephen Bosustow. (also, you neglect to mention that Zack Schwartz was the Production Designer of "Hell Bent For Election". You say it was "designed by John Hubley and Bill Hurtz". However, the end credits of the film clearly says: Production Designed by Zack Schwartz.)

Great video I grew up going to Jim Nicolsons house as well as Sam Arkoffs home to watch movies on his vitality g sofa. My father Albert Kallis was the artist Created most of the posters for AIP advertising He is still living healthy in his almost 100 years.❤

Modern mainstream movies are, a few exceptions aside, made to earn money. Not to further the art, be original, or take the viewer seriously. Just like McDonald's is not about making good burgers, but about making money. Any half-assed cook can make a better meal, but you'd be hard tried to make more bucks by making burgers. It's called capitalism and if you let it, it will kill EVERYTHING. Including art. That's why good governance is indispensable.

Some of his subtler shots are amazing.

No thanks. I like corny dialogues

Kudos

Your editing style is waaayyy too pretentious man. Liked the video, but it could be better

Would you like to animation videos for your channel i can make for you

I'd consider myself a fan of Bass's work but I had NEVER seen that Magnificent 7 poster before and it's incredible. Also this is such a unique aspect ratio for a video and it really carries with the subject matter, this is so well made and enjoyable.

I take a different approach. I saw this movie when I was in my early 30's and it took me back to a time when I was in Tom's shoes. All guys have their 500 Days of Summer or Forgetting Sarah Marshall; that girl who fit the checklist who wrecked you. It's okay. It's a rite of passage. Sure, I'm not in that position today, but listening to your video, other guys will be. You're about 15 years younger than me and you went through it.

This fucking pisses me off to no end. And its also partially the artists' fault. If they all stood their ground together they wouldn't have to be treated like dirt. But they're all undercutting each other and willing to work for dirt cheap all for "glory and fame" which brings the entire industry down.. Good thing I work in 3D architectural viz, theres crunch here too but not to the extend VFX artists and gamedevs face.

It's INSANE to think how they did this Purely with FILM!? It almost should motivate us to try and do anything nowadays now that we have the ability to do so much

Love the Ultimate Edition with the animated scenes.

John Waters tells an amusing anecdote about when he saw The Tingler as a kid he went to the local theater where it was showing and found the one seat they had rigged to give the occupant a shock at designated moments. He said that he stayed all day long "getting his ass buzzed." Sadly that kind of showmanship is a thing of the past. I remember when a few films in 70's were shown in "Sen-so-Rama" , which I never experienced myself, even when one of those films was showing at my local last theatre, but probably couldn't afford to install the necessary equipment. But I heard it just rumbled the theatre a little.

I saw this in '93 and knew it was destined to be an unappreciated gem. I immediately connected with the main character of Gene who consumed horror movies, good or bad, and read Famous Monsters of Filmland magazine. That was me but about a decade later. I'm still only aware of William Castle by his name and being the producer of Rosemary's Baby and have only seen one of his own films. It's not a prerequisite to know this period or who Lawrence Woolsey is based on to enjoy the film. It's just a lot of fun, with the terrifying events of the Cuba missile crisis looming above. I imagine that there are many autobiographical elements which Joe Dante drew upon, being old enough to have witnessed this time in America first-hand. Being born in '64 I was unaware of how close we were to a full-scale nuclear war with Russia. It balances the serious and humor very well, never making light of the anxiety people in the part of the country must have been experiencing. This would make a good double bill with another underrated Joe Dante film, Explorers.

Both great movies ❤

I've been watching a lot of old school movies lately that I have on DVD and VHS that actually overlap in their filming, Hotrod 1979 was filmed the same year as more American Graffiti, when Milner and friends rebuild the front end of his damaged dragster, other racers are deliberately stalling at the grid to give Milner a chance to get his car finished, the guy lining up the cars says 'come on get this car started is wearing the exact same set of clothes in Hotrod 1979 as Brian is getting ready to race his grey primer Willys coupe against Sonny Munn, in More American Graffiti there is a high up shot looking down on the grid and you can clearly see the Willys parked in que

0:31 and 0:37 is when you too late to school:

This is just like ANY industry - construction has changes all the time, manufacturing has changes, etc. The difference is they have logical contracts that make the buyers pay for those change orders. Dumb if they can't figure that out.

I never even knew it existed

It sounds like Explorers was a rough cut when Paramount made the decision to release just that. It's a really sweet and lovingly made film but you can see how its incomplete and not at releasable state. For a major studio release that's quite shocking. To have scenes and subplots that don't go anywhere. Its unforgivably amateur to let that go out. How execs could get away with that just because they didn't want to spend any more money on it or their egos wouldn't let them address it as they didn’t greenlight it.
