Can anyone tell how they did the animation? From the clips I've seen, the vehicles and at least some of the backgrounds are straight up CGI, but what I can't figure out is if the people are 2D animated, or CGI and then cel-shaded. Looks great either way, but it suddenly makes me wonder why, if they're so intent on…

I swear this was the intro for, like, three episodes of Fringe.

Love it. Have you seen Kermit's rendition of Creep?

My ire is for the pervasiveness of the trend less than this case, although the original is a fairly cherished classic from my childhood. This was one of my earliest robot movies, after all, and as such played some role in shaping my tastes now.

Oh good god, darker and grittier Short Circuit? Is there nothing light hearted that can't be made dark and gritty these days? It would be like a dark and gritty Captain Marvel— no wait, that's happening. A dark and gritty remake of a Ray Harryhausen— uh, nope that's been done. Seriously, what's next Wallace and…

There was the vastly underwatched Secret Saturdays cartoon from a few years ago. Granted it only had two seasons (a 26 episode first season, and a 10 episode second that was originally supposed to be much longer), but the shift between the two was drastic and huge. (Spoiler: the main monster the main characters are…

For the record, I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses, and I would not be offended by the use of a birthday in a question on a standardized test. I also don't know any other Witnesses who would be offended by that either.

The origin change is more so what I'm referring to. While changing a long name like that to make it shorter isn't that big of a deal, the implication here is that they're changing the name because they're straight up removing the "teenage" and "mutant" part. Partly I'm still sore about Disney screwing over John…

Keeping in mind that I say this having never watched anything Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before, I just have to say that this new production is proof of what I've been suspecting for a while now; Hollywood broke itself somewhere and now has no idea what they're doing.

I recognize it wasn't for everybody. I actually loved the narrator, the humor, and everything else that a lot of people were turned off by, including the fact that it was okay with being a fairy tale that was saccharine sweet as opposed to dark and edgy. I think the show died mostly from under exposure; you say you…

I hate to say it, but I'm not sure Pushing Daisies would have made it in any era. There's never been an era that had enough people watching TV (or at least people with Nielsen Boxes) that would appreciate the show for the greatness it contained.

Yep, that's basically what I'm imagining the ultimate childhood would be like.

Yeah, I saw this and Serenity fairly close together (and they were the first things I had seen by Joss Whedon), so I very quickly realized this is totally not the guy for me.

To each his own. I'm heavily affected emotionally by the fiction I view, and the ending was so sudden that I was depressed for days, so I just can't appreciate the tragedy for what it is. Also, regardless of quality, it was just cruel to make the audience like the characters so much and then end that way. But,…

I had no idea those two were married. I dare say, they've got some lucky, lucky kids.

To be fair, the hair color spectrum isn't exclusive to Power Puff Girls, it seems to be a rule when it comes to all girl groups in cartoons. Blonde, Brunette, and Redhead are always the first three, but the fourth and fifth are Black and Asian.

Is this one that needs a sequel? I'm honestly not sure here. Full disclosure, I don't like depressing endings, so the last 2 minutes completely ruined the whole thing for me, but gathering from people who did like it (namely, my sister), the ending made it what it was. It felt like an origin story for a villain…

The Time Machine was an odd one. As an adaptation of the story it just got weird, but as a movie itself I actually kind of really liked it. Mostly because once he gets to the future it's plot suddenly becomes a surprisingly accurate adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs' Gods of Mars.

Bollywood dance sequence? And just like that, I'm totally into this. Doesn't matter how hammy (in a bad way) Julia Roberts seems like she'll be, there is simply no counter argument for Bollywood dance sequences.

In the books they had totally red skin. Their appearance seemed to be very similar to Native Americans, but I'm not sure anything in the series was actually allegorical of anything. There were similarly white, green, black, and yellow skinned people, so it was similar to earth's various races, just more colorful.
