Rushing this in to make sure I kept with my deadline, let me say that I couldn’t wait for a movie like The Princess and the Frog more. I’m hoping to see it this Friday and post about it on the main blog. Anyway, here are the articles I mentioned in the first part. John Musker & Ron Clements: The Legacy The Great Mouse Detective (1986): The beginning of a beautiful friendship, and what a beginning! Based on a series…
This Friday, the first hand-drawn animated Disney movie in years, The Princess and the Frog, comes out. With some of the more recent Disney movies lacking in the certain magic that Disney used to reign supreme in supplying back in the day, this is an event the staff at Animation Revelation can not wait for. Especially not myself, a huge fan of Disney’s movies. Only about a year ago did I decide to rewatch a majority of the studio’s animated…
My childhood is over. It took 19 years for it to happen, but it’s time to let my carefree years of youth go past me and prepare for the “joys” of adulthood. I just watched the last adventure of Ed, Edd, n’ Eddy, the cartoon which I invested more time in than any as a child and still kept up with through it’s decade-long run on Cartoon Network. It’s funny and kind of sad to think about it, really. I…
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…
“East meeting West” isn’t exactly the newest of concepts out there. For as long as I can remember, there has always been some kind of attempt at combining the two incredibly different cultures, whether it is a “fish out of water” type of story, or just in the sense that a story is told or displayed in a fashion similar to the other’s. In some cases, this has been successful. For others, well… … and now, after what seems like…
… okay, maybe it wasn’t exactly the best time to give such early praise to Haruhi Suzumiya’s second season. As of late, we have been given a total of five new episodes, though I am currently wishing I only saw three of them. The season starts of strongly enough, with Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody, which does of a good job of re-introducing the cast after a three year hiatus, but after that, things get a bit… meh. Enter the Endless Eight….
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…
