I'd like to imagine Martin Scorsese was recording his lines for Shark Tale during any downtime while filming this.

George Millers gotta calm the fuck down.
Holy shit.

Itsa decent flick. I'd even say its a far stronger version of "From Dusk Til Dawn" both films which have two distinct halves. Building characters then vampire shootout. It's quite fun all things considered tho definitely a stronger second half than the first.

It's not to say the first half is bad, it definitely helps everything come together. Its more so that the directing and cinematography is sadly pretty basic (especially early on) as it's mostly consisting of alternating back and forward takes of 3 seconds of an actors face with little to no blocking.
The story lacks of any conflict at least for the first hour and mostly plays like a slice of life. It isnt the most engaging as the dialogue is more realistic rather than theatrical.
It picks up tho, the story beats come together, the ending is def satisfying. It prob deserves a 7/10 rather than a 6.
I bumped it down due to the lack of rewatchability, presentation wise it aint that memorable. Worth a recommendation, the writing is still good, its better than lots coming out nowendays.

It was def interesting checking this out this out with a 40th anniversary screening in a cinema from random impulse, barely knowing a thing about it.

Probably wouldnt have gave it as high as 3/5 as the pacing is insanely clunky and rushed... but seeing a 4x3 aspect ratio, tv grade style animation, with excessive blood and gore, 80s style sound effects with a synthetic soundtrack remastered on a big screen felt very special and fun.

Im barely into anime to begin with due to the easily identifiable tropes, however there is one fave trope I always get suckered into... Which is the absurd world building which showcases new rules to keep the story engaging. I dont care if its convenient or outragous, it tickles my adhd

I find it odd that one of the top reviews for this special on this site finds it shocking that most of the South Park fandom is aged 14
When South Park, the movie (and this special mind you) is LITERALLY rated 14+ (Canadian 14A rating on the dvd I took out from the library)

Its ludicrous they be charging 25 bucks for ultimately an extended episode thats ridiculously basic. Obvious surface level commentary, the overbearing dramatic piano every 5 seconds. Its just more modern South Park slop. Its ever so slightly amusing on its timely first viewing but immediately disposable.

Who the hell goes to a cinema on a Tuesday 10pm showing of Eraserhead and sits in the front row scrolling Facebook light mode on full brightness. Then taking pictures of the screen at random points and any downtime from that was replaced with noisly eating poutine.

Whoever that was might see this review because I saw them adding every trailer they saw beforehand to their letterboxd watchlist. Well I hope David Lynch haunts your stereotypical hipster look.

Eraserhead is still Eraserhead tho, one of my favourite movies when I was 14 years old just gettin into movies. Its still great I've seen it countless times. A movie that successfully succeeds in atmosphere with the phenomenal sound design and funky imagery. Really benefited from seeing it on the big screen. A definite classic

This generations Sharkboy and Lavagirl

Best seen in a full theatre, it was like seeing The Room or Rocky Horror Picture Show, everyone was dressed up, there was ear deafening cheers and people shouting the memes in unison. It was quite the hilarious experience.

Yes its quite terrible but it almost plays into it ironically.
With its oddly specific strain of fascinating absurd choices its at least worth checking out.
Bad and corny is definitely more entertaining than mediocre.

This was pretty brutal to get through, sooooo uncomfortable.... I hate hate haaated my experience.
Makes me glad I don't see my extended family anymore.

Danny Elfmans gotta calm down with the most overbearing whimsical soundtrack ever put to screen.

Itsa fun time.

I really dug how ionately angry the writing was. I commend the filmmakers not shying away from offputting subject matter that would piss off a lot of viewers. It's confident and doesn't care how obvious the message comes off.

Weird execution in the editing room, from oddball shot choices to the ludicrous intentionally abrasive needle drops. I'd actually thoroughly recommend this despite it's a "love it or hate it" kind of flick. Emotionally charged movies are worth the risk.

The ai generated title cards actually look abysmal. Its so noticeable as it's obviously an early algorithm that its easy to be sucked out of the movie.
This really does give the impression of straight to stream film. If you read the plot synopsis you can pretty much imagine how the film plays out.
Would've worked better as a 22/44 minute short in a anthology show. Aggressively mediocre and predictable as is. Really doesnt justify its existence.

Jim Cummings has quite the screen presence, mixed in with some amusing dialogue it's quite watchable.

My biggest gripe is that the sequence of events have lots left to be desired as it's far too derivative of other small town mysteries. Even with a 2 million budget it felt way cheaper than that. If it wasnt for Jim Cummings charisma it'd be an easy skip. As is its above average.

This review may contain spoilers.

Bizarre studio flick with the main joke of doing ridiculously mundane things in an absurd way.

Hardly laugh out loud funny but impossible to not find at least a lil amusing with how committed the entire crew is. Red hot chilli peppers Soul to Squeeze comes to mind, a single released alongside this films soundtrack, even referenced in the music video. Its wild such a iconic song originated from this ahaha.

To this very day I am so impressed they went the extra mile and even bothered to create elaborate sets of the Conehead planet for literally the last 10 minutes of the movie. With a stop motion creature gladiator scene. Its completely unnecessary but so out of left field it adds to the bonkers delivery.

Not to mention the amount of inappropriate sex jokes running rampant in this PG rated flick whilst watching it the night before stoned gave me the impression of a niche fetish film. Like WHY ARE THEY SO HORNY ALL THE TIME...
Corny and Horny just like the title.

Unhinged insane 90s corniness.

Complete with baffling choices like overstuffed political conspiracy, long stretches of uninterrupted country preformances and "Pig Powah in Da House" a full length hip hop rap song about the pig.

Not great, kinda amusing but just watch Bingo (1991) if you're hankering for a bonkers animal adventure

Purposeless direct to dvd sequel that spits in the face of the original by sanitizing the world to an unrecognizable degree. This could legit be ANY barn animal movie, it has nothing to build off from the og. Even at barely 75 minutes it feels twice as long and drags so bad.

There is no message to this film it's merely a distraction. Distractions would be fine, the first 20 minutes or so though mediocre has some fun sequences all things considered... But the rest of the movie is just solid meandering.
Thematics and nuance completely gone. Characters exist but dont amount to anything. Especially Charlottes three children. They exist to say one liners. Not integral to the plot whatsoever.

Yeah its pretty awful, visually it would be fine but for some reason the official dvd has some of the worst jittery interlacing I've ever seen. So the distributors botched the little saving grace this thing had.

A tad stretched thin but contains a lot of fun colourful moments. Highlights include psychedelic sequences complemented with a earworm of a soundtrack. The heart is definitely in the right place and the famous emotional finale is earned.
Its very respectable the book wasnt censored with how sanitized the animation industry was at the time.

Im thinking I'm reading into it, but with how over the top whiny Wilbur is and yet Charlotte remains a saint trying to help him to the detriment of her health. It gives me conflicting emotions and I think that was intentional. Its surprisingly complex and nuanced sparking a debate through an interpretive lens. Its genuine heart is its biggest and most commendable strength.

I had never seen this film adaptation, I reading the book in elementary school more than once and watching the 2006 live action film around the same time.
But never this one.
I had expected it to be lower end due to the association of Hanna Barbara with its reputation of cost cutting measures. But it surprised me how polished it was compared to others in the era.

Charlotte's a showstealer of course but the gay fatass rat Templeton deserves some spotlight too, not only being a fun comedic relief... but thanks to a carnival song sequence, fully indulging and doing irreparable damage to a entire generation of furry artists n animators.

Even though this film carries a very mediocre script it is leaps and bounds better than a good chunk of other small studio CGI animated films.
Shit like HitPig is awful, while Rumble and Paws of Fury are flat out unwatchable.
This film on the other hand I have more respect for.

Night of the Zoopocalyspe quality is all over the place. Visually it does all the heavy lifting. Visual motifs of clear fnaf inspiration or even having onscreen gore morphing into Cronenberg monstrosities in a childrens film is quite interesting.

At times it has some very nicely boarded sequences with excellent vibrant lighting. With the lack of polish there's plenty of out of the box shots that keep the film visually engaging.
Animation can be quite expressive but ultimetly feels weightless.
Pacing never dragged even with a script stretched as thin as this one thankfully nothing is ever dwelled upon even the jokes fly by and no character bothers explaining why its supposed to be funny... unlike... HitPig...
The small team did their damned best with what they got. Its not a favourite but decent effort overall... just the dialogue mannn it bogs my rating down so much.

Wow, with a fun premise like this, I was expecting a fun exploration romp of existentialism... but its sidelined early on and we instead fixate on rehashing a stripped down version of Avatar.

More like MID-KEY 17

Insanely boring, so sluggishly paced I started playing Wario Ware in the background and Id look up after 15 microgames and nothing would be accomplished.

Yeah its occasionally gory but every Italian horror film was at the time, even the worst of the bunch at least had some stylish pizzazz to them.
If any shock value is lost on a viewer there is absolutely NOTHING to fall back onto. Feels like the script was 10 pages long and stretched to 90 minutes.
Thank the tubi gods as I was so close to blowing 20 bucks on this slog.
