And that's why we do almost all our animation over seas. Its cheaper. A quality animated series can be done. And done in a cost effective manner. Its done all the time year in year out. Problem, like the original topic stated, is that the American animation industry hasn't grown beyond only...

I hope I'm understanding what you're saying here. You're saying that when you watch one of these shows, (from either country) you're seeing something made from the industry's "assumption" of what they think you like to watch? If that's what you're saying, I agree. And with that, both countries...

Cool. I think you got the proper attitude toward anime. You try some, don't like some, saw a few you like. Sounds good to me. Y'know what? There's nothing that can turn off a guy toward anime more than buying something he thought he was gonna like (read a good review or impulse buy from...

Agreed. I wish we'd make more. I love "Iron Giant". And even though most people don't like it all that much, I have a guilty pleasure kinda thing going for Dreamwork's "Sinbad". I liked "Beauty and the Beast" and the classics, but I was kinda either so-so or let down on Disney's latest...

Ah Pixar.....how I love thee. :D Thank whatever diety for Pixar. They do great stuff. In fact, I often point to them as the "model" on how most animation productions should be run. Unfortunately, there's only one company that's like Pixar....and that's Pixar. Okay, given that a couple of...

Its not really. When we think "direct to video" = "terrible" it usually has to do with live action feature movies. Like you go to Blockbuster and see Jason Scott Lee in "Timecop 2". Well, since it wasn't even in the theatre, its probably really bad. That's kinda where that rule usually goes. But...

I voted for "Frak" from Battlestar Galactica. I generally don't like how most writers come up with their own cuss words. Not to say the act of doing it is something I don't like, but rather the result is something I usually don't like. Most of it sounds silly. I like "frak" because...when said...

Yes, you're right. I work in the American animation industry and I partially share your point of view. However, its a rather complex matter and would take quite some time to discuss it fully. But I'll try to offer my opinion while keeping it shorter than my normal huge posts. :D But I gotta...

Well, how bad is it? Is it as bad as...let's say, "Darkness", "Dreamcatcher", "Highlander:The Final Dimension", or "The Musketeer"? Is Elektra in that league of awfulness? :)

Movies that really need sequels: -You Got Served needs a sequel. It should be You Got Served Again : Second Helping . -Dreamcatcher for sure needs a sequel called, Dreamcatcher 2 : I Duditz . -The Long Kiss Goodnight also. Sequel to be: The Long Kiss Good Morning . -Snow Dogs for sure needs...

I've enjoyed this series so far. Out of all the sci-fi series to come along , I see myself sticking with this one. I know I'm gonna get heat for saying this, but I couldn't get into Babylon 5, Farscape, Lexx, and Andromeda. Although I do think Lexa Doig is super hot. :) Only ones followed...

You see, with those of you who want realism, and thus ...vote for "Final Fantasy:Spirits Within" approach ... I'd say let's just do it live action. I've noticed several basic camps when it comes how people like their fantasy. One of the basic camps I see a lot is the camp of 'realism'. If its...

Oh okay. Yeah, I hate people like that too. I have a friend that was like that with music. He hated to see his special underground band get more recognition and hit top 40. Heh heh. Well, its hard to like it over the years because (in my opinion) it has gotten worse/less reliable over the...

The twist was obvious from the previews? Geez louise...that's some awesome detective skills there. Actually...sounds like border line clairvoyance. I admit I figured the twist out about a third into the movie (yah, I can easily see that)...but I'm trying to imagine how the heck the trailers...

Uh, I think when some of us said Anime style...we meant the art. I assume the hypothetical meant "who do we get to animate it"....not "who do we get to animate it and do the voices". I would assume it would be done in English. Oh...and speaking of the anime snobs...yes, there are plenty of them...

I would actually like to see a D&D animation done fairly straight (seriously). Not sure what realm i'd want to see it done it, but I'd like to see it done straight. Not action/comedy or kid friendly ... I love the old Disney style a lot, but I'd rather not see it again. Its been done y'know...

Or better yet, following the up and down tide of mmporpg release dates. :\

I disagree on the "Silence of the Lambs" comments. A lot of movies were either much better or much worse than the novel. "Silence of the Lambs" is the only one I can think of that maintained its quality almost exactly. I found reading the book and watching the movie to be an almost identical...
