Admin Rodney Posted May 22, 2014 Admin Share Posted May 22, 2014 My kind of fun... from Disney: vco0SpSz17g This certainly isn't everyone's cup of tea but there are some themes that are core to capturing the imagination of a youthful spirit. Such themes of creativity and invention... righteous empowerment even.. and the other naive curiosities that inspire us when young are often set aside as we enter adulthood. Returning to such timeless fascinations is why we watch movies in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildsided Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Been keeping my eye on this one since they teased it a couple of months back. Looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
largento Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Looks like a lot of fun. With all of Marvel Comics to choose from, that seemed an odd choice, but maybe they aren't looking to compete with their Marvel Studios movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Rodney Posted May 23, 2014 Author Admin Share Posted May 23, 2014 Yeah, when I first heard the announcement I was... "Big Hero 6"... who the heck? I recognized Sunfire but then again I don't think he's set to even be in the movie, at least not as the persona that appeared way back in the Roy Thomas/Neal Adams years of the X-Men. Perhaps Disney will surprise us. Perhaps he'll be mostly a background character so that the kids of the next generation can take the stage. Disney has long been looking to crack the code on the vast interest in anime and this certainly speaks to the 'boy and his robot', mega-monster and even 'boy is a robot') themes from when Japanese stop motion and animation first arrived on American TV screens. I didn't see a lot of anime when I was a kid but I definitely saw shows like 'Johnny Socko and his Flying Robot' and they made quite an impression on me. How to get it done in such a way as to merchandise characters and roll stories over into live experiences for their theme parks... that's an important piece of the puzzle. I'm not thrilled about all aspects of this film's premise but have confidence that Disney knows how to entertain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Edmondson Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Personally I'm really fed up of super hero films but this trailer suggests it might e worth watching. There are shades of the trailer for The Incredibles, were Mr Incredible has trouble putting his costume on... ? I heard, but don't know how accurately, that Victor Navonne animated that trailer ? Several people I know expressed regret that the scene was not included in the film. regards simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Rodney Posted October 21, 2014 Author Admin Share Posted October 21, 2014 Rendered on a 55,000 core supercomputer... There are several names of computer systems/software dropped in this video that haven't been mentioned a lot before, mostly because they've only recently been created in service of Disney's latest movie 'Big Hero Six'. It's well worth a look for the look at technology which interestingly enough isn't related to Renderman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
