Orogun01 Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 I feel like putting a gun against my head. I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.
Gorth Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 We are all doomed I've always had a weak spot for Smurfs. They are among my all time favourite comics. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein
LadyCrimson Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 Does anyone else occasionally miss traditional/cell animation? Not that I don't like computer animation, mind you. But sometimes....I wish not all animation had that computer look. And I've always suspected the Smurf's were somehow related to the Blue Meanies. “Things are as they are.

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 Weren't the smurfs Belgian? Why are they in New York? "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"

LadyCrimson Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 That is why I enjoyed The Princess and the Frog so much. Oh? I think I've seen that title on On-Demand, but hubby's not into animation films much. I'll have to check it out one afternoon. Thx. “Things are as they are.

And I've always suspected the Smurf's were somehow related to the Blue Meanies. the smurfs predate blue meanies by about a decade... possibly the young beatles were disturbed by the evil little belgian faeries... kinda likes how some kids is 'fraid o' clowns? *shrug* never made the connection. the thing that always surprises us 'bout the smurfs is the fact that they has endured. am not sure what their appeal is. there were a period during the mid 70's when smurf collectibles were momentarily very popular in the US... and then in the 80's we had the saturday morning cartoon, but unlike pogs or alf (and alf pogs,) the smurfs popularity never completely dies. is... odd. "That is why I enjoyed The Princess and the Frog so much. " as is typical, it were hard to complain 'bout disney animation... but it weren't in our top 5 (10?) of disney animated films. still, it were technically very sound. HA! Good Fun!

There's a lot of conflicting information about the Blue Meanies in Yellow Submarine - including some indication that they were originally not intended to be just blue. But I think their design was down to Heinz Edleman (who would have been in his last year at the D I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that?

Amentep Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 (edited) I enjoyed the Black Cauldron when I saw it many years ago at the theater when it came out. I remember being upset seeing the production art for it after THE FOX AND THE HOUND came out and thinking it'd never be done (Disney had, of course, announced that they were leaving animation behind. It was around this time that they started the Disney "PG Initiative" that gave us Watcher in the Woods and The Black Hole) I like all forms of animation; I'd hate to think of Disney foregoing traditional animation entirely (just as I'd hate to think that no one would do stop motion animation like Henry Selick as well) Edited July 15, 2010 by Amentep I cannot - yet I must.

LadyCrimson Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 My Smurf/Blue Meanie comment was supposed to be a joke....not any kind of serious reference. Just sayin'. ie, maybe the Meanies are the mutated rebellious children of the Smurfs that had to be kicked out of the village.... In reality, I don't know much re:actual history of the Meanies or the Smurfs...all I remember is being mildly scared by the Meanies as a tiny tiny tot and uninterested in the Hanna-Barbera Smurf series as a pre-teen. “Things are as they are.

CoM_Solaufein Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 I remember the cartoon series fondly when I was young. Now they are ruining it by making it computer generated.
