In this weeks lecture we looked at the cultural and style differences in western and japanese animation.
The beloved film Bambi was shown as an american approach. Looking at it you can see there is definately a trademark style it has, as do most of Disnerys films from that time. Over time that style has changed slightly, but still keeps the aspects that make it recognisable
.
Studio Ghibli's My neighbour Totoro was shown from the other perspective, and again this has a unique style as well, not just in the characters, but in the way its coloured, and the backgrounds are illustarted.
In the 21st century animated movies usually are completely CG, and its actually rare for a 2D blockbuster to come out. Pixar started this craze,and have since become the pinnicle of 3D movies, to which all others are meausre against.
Disney is of course part of Pixar, but has now started releasing films thats retain the style and flair that is seen in the studios prior releases, but has tarnsferred it in a CGI film. Its the natural step up, and from watching the trailer, i think that if it continues thius wasy, it could be a 'whole new world' for Disney.
Ba-Zing!
Here's the trailer for 'Tangled'
