How can this movie be bad?

The Incredibles +1

Welcome to a couple years ago.

 

[Matlock]

I hear that Disney put out a cartoon called Steamboat Willie.

 

[Pedigree Chum]

I wasn't following this movie that much. From what I've seen, it's going to rock

I know I'm going to love watching Pixar poke fun at Superhero conventions

Brad Bird >>> God

Brad Bird >>> God

that's what my lecturer for 3D animation kept telling us. i sure would like to know why though

That mouse is surely destined for greatness. At least once we learn how to colorize cartoons.

I hear it has sound. Boy that'd be an amazing thing were it true.

Btw, anyone know if there's any footage at all available from that animated movie Brad Bird did at like 15? It sounds really cool. Supposedly he did this for a few years and the animation got better and better. Finished when he was 15 I believe. I havent seen a single frame from it though, just heard what an achievement it was

Here's a little nugget for y'all: Steamboat Willie actually wasn't the first Disney cartoon featuring Mickey Mouse.

"Plane Crazy" was.

yep, but Steamboat Willie made the mouse famouse being the first cartoon with sound.

Sarcastic condescending elitist response:

Unfunny 'me too' elitist followup comment:

Uber elitist conversationally retroactive comment:

'Me too' elitist rebuttal (aka "Just click the back button already"):

What about mine? obvious stupidass everyman response?

 

[DaCocoBrova]

I still have yet to see The Iron Giant. What's worse, it's no longer in print IIRC. When is the re-release?

 

[Doc Holliday]

I think you can stil get it in a lot places. I saw a few copies at Virgin megastore and Circuit city i think.

I've never heard of that. The first thing I know of that he worked on was the Fox and the Hound at Disney (he was uncredited though). Then he did Family Dog, a bunch of Simpsons, The Critic, King of the Hill, and then The Iron Giant.

If you're talking about Ray Gunn, it's a project he's been wanting to do for a long time and there's a very strong rumor that he may be doing it at Pixar but in traditional animation.

 

[Phoenix]

I thought it was Steamboat Itchy?

And Pixar went on to completely deny that they had interests in traditional animation. *shrugs* We'll see.

At Comic Con, Brad Bird kind of danced around the question.

Brad Bird became fascinated with the world of animation at a very young age. While most kids were out playing during recess, Brad was more content doodling with his pencil. His love of drawing enabled him to produce and animate his first film at age 11 (the story drawn from the classic children's tale of The Tortoise and the Hare). The film was completed before he turned 14 and the experience was enough to convince Bird to attend Cal Arts Institute's animation program after high school.

I also read he was taught by the original 9 old wise men from disney's golden age somewhere. A little bit about that.

Impressed by a short animated film the young Bird completed after his parents wisely invested in a camera that could shoot single-frame animation, legendary Disney animator Milt Kahl brought Bird on board as an apprentice.

"I didn't work on actual production right away," says Bird. "It was more like a mentoring program, but they opened their doors to me and told me whenever I was in L.A. I could come in here and work with the old masters. When I graduated from high school, Disney gave me a scholarship to California Institute of the Arts, and it went from there."
