Hollywood knows they are box office poison.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Another thing, good on Nostalgia Critic for bashing Space Jam. I am glad someone outside the fan boy animation community actually found that film for obnoxious, unfunny, marketing whore that it was.Ricardo Cantoralhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00518171797365794688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6956070.post-42410214989541388232009-04-05T21:08:00.000-04:002009-04-05T21:08:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Ricardo Cantoralhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00518171797365794688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6956070.post-81249222916714866512009-04-05T21:06:00.000-04:002009-04-05T21:06:00.000-04:00I think the dumbest lyric of any song in Rock-A-Do...I think the dumbest lyric of any song in Rock-A-Doodle was when the owls said "We hate the sun ! From head to toe !". Yes, a giant flaming gas ball that was clearly illustrated as such in the beginning of the film has a body to speak of.<BR/><BR/>In general, Don Bluth is a good animator but he dosen't know a damn thing about film. He can only put up a cobbled mess of ear bleeding musicals, pretty backgrounds (not be sarcastic here), and good special effects. <BR/><BR/>I also can't stand the way he draws. He makes his humans bland and animals with small beady eyes, small eye lashes, and huge mouths. <BR/><BR/>Bakshi isn't much a film maker himself however he knows how to grab an audience with his view of the world and it's raw and funny at the same time.Ricardo Cantoralhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00518171797365794688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6956070.post-84870531272371651672009-04-02T14:49:00.000-04:002009-04-02T14:49:00.000-04:00Let's hope he never makes another movie.For all hi...Let's hope he never makes another movie.<BR/><BR/>For all his faults, Bakshi at least had an original point of view, and "Heavy Traffic" and some parts of "Fritz" and "Coonskin" are just amazing. Bluth just did fake Disney.

I love how it's Bakshi who gets the rap for making convoluted films when Bluth's entire feature career is out there smelling up the universe. Rumors persist Bluth, Pomeroy and Goldman are developing a "Dragon's Lair" film, while paying bills by moonlighting on a religious internet series for someone in L.A. from Phoenix.

Then there was "The Pebble and the Penguin," the movie Bluth *took his name off of* as director!Andrew Lealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04536423892525694724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6956070.post-63256851168118485852009-04-01T19:25:00.000-04:002009-04-01T19:25:00.000-04:00LOL, that's great.
