where are the numerology bros?
doing better things than watching cartoons
I know Two people who can help with numerology and masonic numbers. They will probably just tell us what we already know is that Hollywood is creepy.
All industrial animation is meaningless.
Ladybug got a movie?
Yes.
Yeah, but it was a shitty alt-universe musical.
that seems a bit pointless
>Wish
Lol.
>yfw list is not alphabetical, it's by odds of nomination
movie sucked dick but it's disney's 100 anniversary movie so they'll put it in anyways
Frozen 2 didn't and it was infinitely better
>The leading contenders are so shitty everyone is jumping in because they think they might win
How many of these have you seen Cinemaphile, and which are good?
For me, it's only The Amazing Maurice. It didn't even come out this year, it's an alright film. Just alright.
I also watched a bit of Nimona but didn't like any of it so I took it off. Can't really count it
I think Nimona is only being pushed by the LGBT crowd.
I'm surprised because I thought we were kind of past the point of accepting shitty writing just because it panders to a demographic
Nimona isn’t being pushed by anyone, really.
>https://criticstop10.com/best-movies-of-2023/
ATSV and Heron are performing very strongly even among the “real” movies, while the rest of the animated films might as well not exist this year.
Needless to say those two are locks for BAF. The rest of the nominees will be picked out of a hat because who the frick cares.
it's pushed by failed artists who wanted to make their own comics (but didn't) and live vicariously through the existence of the film.
Have you read the book Maurice was based on? Was that good and how did it compare?
I have not unfortunately.
But I might. I would imagine the film takes a lot more liberties. I wouldn't even be surprised if certain characters are completely extra.
It's not a bad film, I just don't feel the writing is particularly strong anywhere. There's nothing that really stands out, the protagonist is fun I guess
read the book but didn't see the movie here
the book is great as is pretty much all of Pratchett's Discworld. Been a while since I read it but do recall there were some particularly chilling descriptions of the rat-king
I'd be curious to see how the movie presented it
Well if you're not going to watch it, the movie does treat the rat king as a very powerful force, but in practice it's just a shadowy figure and hardly chilling. Powerful but more creepy villain than harrowing
>see we take animation seriously, we nominated a lot of obscure pretentious animations now too, of courses the winner will be the usual Disney Children's slop, but we take animation seriously now I swear, please watch the Oscars this year.
All this shit and my girl didn't even make it
watch out she got a sword!
who?
Looks like one of those DTV movies from the mid-'00s.
You could add plenty more to your list, really.
>33 movies
>Only 5 have real chances of winning.
We should be asking why only ~1/3rd of those films are ones people have actually heard of
Let's go PAW Patrol!!
Not that it stands a chance in hell lol
No animated movie that's for adults can win, because the Academy votes for whatever their kids like. It's insulting.
Let’s hope The Peasants at least gets a nomination. The more normies are aware of non-kiddy animation the better.
>The Boy and the Heron
>Leo
>Across the Spider-Verse
>The Peasants
>The Super Mario Bros. Movie
You KNOW this is how it'll go down
Wish has to get a mention even if it never has a chance of winning, so that Disney can claim it was nominated.
Stop trying to make Wish happen. It's not happening.
>The Super Mario Bros. Movie
If The Lego Movie didn’t make it then this doesn’t.
>If The Lego Movie didn’t
This is The Mario though
I thought it was a known fact that people who choose movies for the Oscars dont watch animated movies and they just go by what's popular. The SMB movie made over $1B, so I bet these normies watched that one and will pick it.
switch out leo for elemental
>And the oscar goes to……Elemental!
Miyazaki doesn't give a shit. There's no way he's even coming to the Oscars. He probably hates burgers.
The Oscar judges treat animated movies as a joke so if it isnt disney or ghibli it wont win.
Watch them all lose to Godzilla Minus One, Japan's answer to Parasite.
>animated
Yes, the kaiju king is 3DCG animated this time like with the MonsterVerse movies, the suit actors are reserved on special shorts like Godzilla Vs Jet Jaguar due to the suits get hot during long filming sessions.
the animation for that was shit though.
In a perfect world, The Boy and the Heron would win, but it's really going to be The Super Mario Bros Movie or Spiderman: ATSV. At least it isnt Pixar or WDAS shit again.
>In a perfect world, The Boy and the Heron would win
No.
>The Boy and the Heron
Was super boring. I think people over hyped it for me
>Elemental
>Ruby Gillman
>Wish
>Unicorn Wars
Shouldn't be there.
bit none of the academy members watch the movies?
I crossed out the ones I felt basically had no chance of making it out of the preliminary round for the final nominees, either cause they're too cheap, too unknown, or too kiddie. I underlined in red ones I think are practically guaranteed to make it to the nomination list.
>Ruby Gillman
>Still uncrossed
I'm not feeling 100% about that, so I didn't cross it. I mean, fricking Boss Baby got a nomination. I don't know if Dreamworks throws enough money to guarantee a spot, so I didn't want to cross off all of their movies in case stuff like that takes place. But I also can't see Trolls 3 getting a nomination because it's a sequel AND it's a kiddie movie Oscar viewers don't give a shit about.
I'm basing that on how critics despised Mario, so I feel like those are the people voting.
>I'm basing that on how critics despised Mario
Doesn't matter
Nintendo power, baby!
But when has Nintendo cared about award shows? Yeah, Zelda got an award last night, but I don't think they're investing in it like other companies do.
>Mario
>crossed
lol
>Blue Giant
>Chang’an
>Deep Sea
>The Inventor
>Lonely Castle in the Mirror
>Titina
>Warrior King
I don’t think anyone is voting for these.
A bit early to dismiss MLB
You realize the Academy is American, right? This means frick all nothing to them
It means frick all to anyone given it collapsed to levels below fricking Arthur 3 on its second weekend
>Leo
>crossed
Don’t underestimate the power of Netflix. The Sea Beast was forgotten by critics but the Oscars nominated it.
>My Love Affair With Marriage, The first slam dunk and Rub Gillmen uncrossed,
wasn't it confirmed that the Academy don't actually watch any of the animated nominees?
Chicken Run is out?
i guess so. is it good?
This just feels like a ridiculous overcorrection for how much shit they got after last year.
Thanks Burrito del Taco
How? They’re only going to pick Heron as the token foreign film and the rest will be Amerislop.
There is the Mario Movie, that was done in France.
>This just feels like a ridiculous overcorrection for how much shit they got after last year.
What shit?
Animation at the Oscars is notoriously overlooked and glossed over. I think some of the judges even outright said they just pick whatever Disney or Pixar film they've heard of and move on.
>i don't care, you have to find a way to put Wish there!
Wish fricking sucked. Disney has a better chance of getting Strange World nominated than that shit.
The academy hates fujo content, a actual Free Swim Club movie has a higher chance of wining the Oscar then Strange World.
Which goes to show Wish has zero chance
Does the Peasants count? The film is wonderful btw, not sure if counts as animated film.
It is also the only film not child-friendly.
When was the last time an adult animated movie was nominated?
Flee?
That was a Raspberry Award, thats a bad thing.
>the gay refugee movie that COINCIDENTALLY came out around the time American troops left Afghanistan
Oh yeah, no wonder it was nominated.
Rotoscoping counts, Loving Vincent got a nomination
There are several that are non child freindly My Love Affair with Marriage, Unicoin wars, They Shot the Piano Player to name a few
If we lived in a perfect world
>The Boy and the Heron
>Robot Dreams
>Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
>My Love Affair with Marriage
>Suzume
What it will be
>Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget
>Elemental
>The Boy and the Heron
>Migration
>Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
Mario will be part of both lists.
>Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget
This came out?
Was it good?
It's out in British cinemas to do a cinema run (Which is required to get nominated) before it goes to Netflix next week. Critic consensus there seems to be that while it's a perfectly fine and entertaining movie. It's Aardman's weakest film since Flushed Away.
Final list is gonna be
>Elemental
>Migration
>Spider-Man
>Ninja Turtles
>Trolls
>Wish
Wish will win because Academy voters don't see animated films unless they're Disney or their children "force them" to watch it while they leave their kids unattended to take calls outside of the theater.
Mario and Heron aren't going to make the cut because current Academy voters (avg. 62 years old) hate Asian content.
>Wish will win
Did you crawl out of a time portal from like 4 years ago
idk what you mean
Mario was produced in the west, it will win.
titina?
It's pretty good actually
Then I'll watch it I guess
Anything else on the list worth watching?
i've never seen a trolls film because i think the constant pop songs would get grating, but they seem kinda fun
are they?
just got back from seeing Boy and the Heron
lol anons are moronic (or haven't seen the film) if they think any of the morons in the Academy would nominate it for best animated.
That bad?
How's it compare to Suzume?
It's not bad. It would just go over 100% of Oscar voter's heads who think animation is for toddlers.
The Boy and the Heron is excellent masterpiece, but knowing the academy Godzilla Minus One (another excellent masterpiece) (aka Japan's answer to South Korea's Parasite) will beat it and win best picture.
animated films don't get selected for best picture since Beauty and the Beast (because Beauty and the Beast won best picture and Hollywood shat itself.
Toy Story 4 says hi.
>Whaaa... Muh practical effects.
Those suits get hot after long filming sessions, they're now reserved on short films.
For a Raspberry.
If they start using anvils and dynamite again it will be taken seriously again like it was in the 1940s and 1950s, making cartoons that can be easily done in live action is why animation is treated as a joke.
Now you wish that Tom Ruegger and Toshihiko Masuda weren't back stabbed for Animaniacs2020 Tiny Toons Looniversity and they they got their babies back.
wait, there's a new chicken run??
All this garbage and Le Heckin Animate Shun Is CineMa gays wonder why animated movies aren't appreciated as much.
can someone translate this into English, plz
Animation fans are pretentious. They want it to be taken seriously yet most of the output is still childrens' shit
It'll be Spiderman. Superhero fatigue might be real, but the thing had crazy art, a black lead, and the chuds got upset about supposed trans messaging in it. Hollywood couldn't like it more unless it contained a love letter to cinema.
It won't, Mario will be the winner as...
>No black people.
>Everyone is straight.
>Everyone is cis.
>Crazy art.
