Typically I like to start my reviews off by giving a brief history of the people behind whatever I’m reviewing, but I believe I’ll keep this particular retrospective a bit briefer than usual. DreamWorks, Disney’s greatest rival in animation during the past 10 years, formed in 1994 as a merger between world-renowned auteur Steven Spielberg, former head of Disney’s animated feature department Jeffrey Katzenberg, and film producer David Geffen in order to continue making successful Hollywood movies. As a studio,…

I’ve never really gotten that into the harem subgenre of anime, since honestly, I’ve never been that interested in it. If anything, I thought it to be one of the least original genre out there. I mean, you’ve got you’re one male lead and he’s continually surrounded by no one else but females for no apparent reason. I mean at least with an action series or a thriller, there’s some kind of logic behind everything. For a harem series, just…

When I was younger, I used to be obsessed with the Power Rangers, a show which until recently I was completely unaware was based on the Japanese Super Sentai series. As I grew older, and as American companies adjusted their tastes to even more Japanese shows, I ended up picking up on shows like Pokemon and Sailor Moon, both which played back to back on the WB at the time. As anime began to take over the minds of the…

Wh-whaaa? The ARevelation crew actually keeping up to date with their reviews? You’re darn right we are! For stupid legal reasons, I gotta say that this review was originally from my movietome.com review under the username petewrigley. Great, another place to stalk me… While Pixar movies in general depict quite the environment filled with colors, hues and images you would only expect to see in a doctor’s office waiting room poster, “Up” really sets the standard. All Pixar movies preceding…

“Classic Review?” “Rewind Review?” Well, whatever title we decide on, just know that every now and then, we’ll be dusting off the ol’ delorean to go back in time and review some of the animated works from back in the day that stood out to us. So without further ado… Instead of having bedtime stories told to me when I was younger, I was raised watching videos before going to bed. My video collection, while not as gigantic as my…

When initially planning this review, I was planning on dedicating my opening to the original Jonny Quest, to discuss it’s impact in the world of televised animation and why it’s remembered so fondly to this date. Due to issues of length and the sake of the article’s pacing, however, I may likely save what I had planned to say about the series at a later time and focus on the show for only two sentences. When Hanna-Barbera’s adventure-based series Jonny…

Of many little things that have occurred during my life in which I can remember, watching the classic Looney Tunes with my grandfather will remain one of the most memorable to me. You see, before there was TV or video to watch these fabled shorts, you’d have to go to a movie to see a cartoon short, and my grandfather was there when this was prevalent, so while I’d be making future memories, my grandfather was also reliving nostalgia, which…

When the name of this show is mentioned to an American fan of animation, the first thing that would come to their mind is probably something along the lines of: “Wasn’t that the show that bombed on Nick?” Yes, its true that 6Teen received poor ratings when it aired on Nickelodeon, a while ago. However, as one might be able to tell from its style of animation alone, this series bares a striking resemblance in tone and detail to the…
