Is having a romantic relationship with a hivemind a form of polygamy?
Show me the link for this interview before I waste my time discussing something you made up
if the quote is valid, then doesn't he realise he's b***hing about television medium, not animation?
hello? the Flintstones, anyone?
>animation to me is the purest form of art, and its been kidnapped by a bunch of hoodlums
based
>I would love to see real life in animation
uber cringe, literally the worst thing that could possibly happen
Yeah we need more boring cartoons about boring people, what a genius
Real life isn't interesting. Give me the Bendis Wit but Good.
Man this guy needs to shut the frick up, "WE'RE FRICKED UP BRO! WERE FRICKING FRICKED UP THERFORE WVERY FRICKING ANIMATED FILM HAS TO BE FRICKED UP BECAUSE IM FRICKED UP," shut the frick up, this morons help the companies that do this shit but acts like he's the most based motherfricker there is but he's a fricking c**t!
I mean he did recently make a Pinocchio film that just had daddy issues and world war 2 sprinkled in. That’s not much better, and it had a bunch of quips too.
>world war 2
Whoa, guess he's almost over the spanish civil war now. Good on him.
Real life in animation is exactly why it's so boring. Animation is at its best when it's depicting scenes that would be impossible, or very hard to depict in real life. Del Toro is ESL so I assume he meant realistic emotions and not realistic situations.
That's exactly what he meant. He clarifies later in his speech that he thinks animation is too perfect and portrays characters too efficiently and be thinks characters should be portrayed more messy and imperfect. Basically he equates modern animation as feeling factory made and wants it feel more handmade.
I think he meant that all modern animation, at least western animation, are nearly all comedies by default. And most modern comedies lack sincerity and have all their characters act glib and over exaggerate their emotions and that there's nothing wrong with characters to simply exist without needing to be a joke.
Yes, but he expressed it in the stupidest way. What he meant was that not all shows have to copy The Simpsons.
Well excuuuuuuse me Princess
He mostly makes shit but Pan's Labyrinth was incredible
I'd rather hear from Pat McHale.
His name means William of the Bull.
That's not how names work, plus you forgot his last name.
Black person you made Trollhunters.
I think it would be a serious tragedy if all or even most western animation became like what Del Toro wants, but he's not wrong at all to want something different than what's standard.
Western Animation has always had a really serious problem with genre diversity. The best most engaging animated TV shows and movies of the last several decades are "Comedy, but sometimes they do something poetic or meaningful in the third act". Even Bojack Horseman, a show where the main character alternates between being a depressed sack of shit and a teenager molester, is also a show which features the wacky comedy antics of Todd doing a Freaky Friday with the Cordovian dictator for a day.
Children's animation is worse because half the time the villain is literally "cynicism", like the concept of "maybe things aren't going to wrap up neat and tidy at the end of our adventure!"
Our only real choices in western animation are 2edgy4you "Adult" animation, UWU CalArts kids animation, and superheroes. Doesn't take a profound mind to realize that we're starved for better more diverse options.
i don't entirely agree with him but he's partially right. like, i just want the characters to feel real. to feel genuine
>i just want the characters to feel real. to feel genuine
easier said than done.
It really isn't.
it kinda is, especially concerning this one pesky aspect known as "perception".
sounds like he likes takahata over miyazaki
So because he had a boring family, that's the reality? My family is always cracking jokes at each other. But that's my family. There's no real standard. Both can be real and relatable.
This is also a guy that always puts his mom in his movies.
I think you're being simplistic, anon, I doubt his family is truly humorless and never makes jokes but his point is a lot of animation is built on cliches, echoes of echoes so far removed from the original that people don't know why they do it apart from it's how you animate these actions. He doesn't care that there's comedy and jokes but more how it's presented and why it is that way. He wants animation to be more authentic, to have more life by drawing from one's own experience and observation.
>his point is a lot of animation is built on cliches, echoes of echoes so far removed from the original that people don't know why they do it apart from it's how you animate these actions.
That's fine and dandy and all, but I don't want the creator of picrel lecturing me about that crap.
>He wants animation to be more authentic, to have more life by drawing from one's own experience and observation.
I'd just catch the latest Lifetime special if I wanted any of that. When it comes to animation, I just need to be sated by two things: good animation and decent waifu material.
>Latest Lifetime special
Isn't that frequently insulted for its melodramatic and bad acting? That doesn't sound like what he wants either. You're thinking he means he wants drama, but that's not the case at all.
