The Witness and Alberto Mieglo

 One of my favorite shows streaming on Netflix right now is called "Love Death and Robots"  The show, which was originally meant to be a remake of the 1981 anthology film "Heavy Metal", is an adult anthology show consisting of several animated shorts spread across each season. Each short ranges in style and tone but the overall theme of all of the shorts goes back to the title.  I remember watching the first season of the show back when it premiered in 2019. While I loved majority of the shorts, one of them that really stood out to me, visually at least, was the third short of season one: "The Witness".  "The Witness" is a thriller following a woman who witnesses a murder and is spotted by the killer. She is then pursued through the streets of Tokyo as she attempts to escape the killer.  Once separates this short from the others in that season is the distinctive style. The art style is done completely in CG and looks very much like something out ...

The Visual Charm of Sponge On The Run

Over the course of about 17 years Spongebob Squarepants and his friends have graced the silver screen in three feature films.  While the first movie was fully 2D animated and the second movie utlized both 2D and 3D animation, the third movie took a much different apporach stylistically: It was the franchise's first fully computer animated film.  Entitled "The Spongebob Movie: Sponge On The Run" and directed by series vetrean Tim Hill, the movie takes inspiartion from the "road trip" plot fo the first film and the plot of the "Where's Gary?" special as Spongbob and Patrick head to "The Lost City Of Atlantis City" to rescued Gary after he is kidnapped by an evil king.  While the film's story isn't nearly as grand scale as the previous two films, the one big thing it does have that amps up the underwhelming story it is working with is its animation. Done by Mikros Animation, who did the animation for Dreamwork's "Captain Und...

Genndy Tartakovsky's Popeye- Lost Potential

Image
If you were to ask me what canned movie had the most potential to really be something but never reached what it could have been, the first movie that would instantly come to my mind would be Genndy Tartakovsky's Popeye.  Genndy Tartakovsky is consider a legend in animation. The man has been responsible for some Cartoon Network's most iconic shows from Dexter's Laboratory to Samurai Jack. Popeye is considered to be a classic character for both his comic strips and his shorts made by the renowned Fleischer Studios.  In 2012, Genndy had been announced to be the director of a CG Popeye movie to be made by Sony Pictures Animation. Genndy had already done work for the studio after bringing their long in development project, Hotel Transylvania, to the big screen and putting his signature style on it.  It seemed like a match made in heaven. With Genndy's style resolving more around character and focus on physicality and Popeye already having high physicality and character in it...
