Great Cartoons - version 5 subsection W

Posted by ZekeySpaceyLizard - April 13th, 2009


heres a somewhat oldie
i think anyone who was born in the early to mid 80's and grew up watching nickelodeon back when it wasnt MTV for sissies should remember this neat little short that played inbetween shows

.
/* */
you might also remember this playing around the same time, which in retrospect is a pretty dark little short

.
/* */
Mars makes a documentary about life on earth
quite silly but witty

.
/* */
a lovely old UPA toon from 1953 about a unicorn and a couple with severe marriage problems

.
/* */
3 misses by the same guy who did the film about the egg that I posted above
this is a neat little movie he made in 1998

.
/* */
and now one of my favorite short films which is on youtube and split into 3 parts. I've talked about who katsuhiro otomo is in here before. him, koji morimoto, and satoshi kon are 3 of my favorite japanese animation directors. they do crazy insanely creative stuff.

anyway
a few years ago (quite a few now this came out in 1995) he and his confidants made a movie called Memories which was 3 short films each one telling a different story all based off various manga and such.

if you're a big fan of animation theres's a good chance you may have seen these. if you havent, well you SHOULD. because they are great.

all 3 films are excellent. magnetic rose tells a very sad but spooky ghost story on an abandoned ship in outer space, stink bomb is about a man who accidentally takes a supplement which makes him smell so bad he starts wiping out the population and yes its a comedy, and the final one was an odd funky little film about a military community called Cannon Fodder.

which is the one i'll be posting now

also oh fuckballs figures i found the one that isnt translated into freakin english
hold on I CAN FIX THIS DO NOT PANIC

ok here it is in english instead

.

im not entirely sure but i believe the cgi effect being used to make the paintings seem 3d in some of these scenes is the same used in most of the Studio Ghibli films and was also used in Disney's TARZAN animated film. i think it also got used in the first few pokemon movies.

and there you go

today's post comes with a free bit from my own upcoming cartoon polypeptide:

How do you find the time to do all of these? Doesn't it feel kind of tedious by now?

its a fast and easy process so no

OH_SNAP!!!

yup

u like men
as friends

okay

WHAT ABOUT DA BANANA WACKIES

WHAT ABOUT DEM

oh snap

Man you ever seen the Gumby movie? I was just watching the Gumby movie...i dont remember Gumby being so fucking creepy.

HOLY TOLEDO!

prickle always made me uneasy as a child
he always sounded ready to flip out and destroy the whole cast

the 3d painting things was actually a really neat effect.. im usually annoyed when companies start messin with that shit.. like futurama i dont like how they use it.

Part 3, i have nightmares about doing run loops like the ones on :19 an isometric rear run loop.. uuuuugh i would never in a million years use that camera angle. uselesss commennttt

futurama is different
thats just cel-shaded cgi

the effect used in this, ghibli, and tarzan is more like they paint on a digital 3d surface

Paul Driessen is one of the best Dutch animators I know, perhaps because I don't know that much Dutch animators.

But still, his stuff is neat.

yeah
quite alot of his stuff is on youtube

Looks like you're proud of this snap, aren't ya :3
Man, paul driessen in my hero, his characters are so...mmmh...well I can't find a word but I would like to grate them on scrambled eggs.

Sasquatch.

he does squash and stretch like no one else

HAY BITCH DIT YOU SEE MAH NEW MOVIE?????
<a href="http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/491285">http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view /491285</a>

ITS HARDCORE OWNAGE YO!

i would have 5'd it if you hadnt stolen animation from DAD'S HOME and stuck the lame shitty 4chan imma chargin mah laser shit in there.

please drown somewhere

loved cannon fodder. very good storytelling indeed. the paintings and color palette were muddy but still very pleasing.

plot is something you don't really see nowadays and it's good to reminisce on the days where there were good stories told...

i also like how throughout the film there are these crazy tracking shots where the camera swoops around the areas of the scene but they do it without using 3d or anything
its nuts

also i thought i should say that those snappy fingers are looking divine

thank you

hey man you remeberd me all of these cartoons
Thanks Man!And one thing:
How do you put videos on thrdr things?

please speak english

The egg cartoon wasn't that great, it seemed kind of predictable from the start, BUT MAYBE IT'S JUST ME. The second cartoon you posted of Paul Driessen's was MUCH better.

And Memories - Cannon Fodder or whatever it's called was really good. It had a great style, amazing effects, and interesting story. The end.

And I'm really interested to see how polypeptide turns out. It seems really original, but I've only seen that finger snap, a few pictures, and that bit you showed in your demo reel, so what the fuck do I know.

And I know you spent like 2 years working on and off on it, but just don't go all aura core when you submit it.

i have no idea what aura core is

How do I make hentai games

yeah.

How is it that you get to post on front page every 7 days and not every 14 days?

that is an excellent question.
i have no idea.

Read the author's comments.

But I guess you can type whatever you want.

you dont know me very well if you think im full of myself or think i somehow deem polypeptide a unique and precious flower because it took me this long to put the damn thing together.

i'm not an idiot. please go away.

THIS IS EAST 17TH STATION.
THIS IS EAST 17TH STATION.
YES, LOAD COMMANDER!

YOUR TEAM IS CONFINED TO THE CANNON FLOOR

that was quite nice

oh yeah i forgot to mention that. it's sweet how they paint their backgrounds kind of like fish-eye distortion to show multiple perspectives in one illustration...thats the first thing that stood out to me.

it seems like these old techniques aren't really being used that much anymore. cartoons are all side view and movies are all 3d. animation is all about tricking the eye and there's not many things that have tricked me as much as that lately haha

i agree wholeheartedly

so many things these days that are still 2d are so simple when it comes to the camera shots and stuff

at the same time however i have NO IDEA how one could even PLAN some of these shots. like i cant even wrap my head around how they did some of these shots without having to repaint the backround like 100 times
