So, just randomly remembered this movie and I can safely sayI have witnessed peak.
Agreed. I'm surprised it's not spoken about more on here
>>150462623Peak movie.
>>150462623KINO SPOTTEDSeriously this movie was special
>>150462636>>150462651>>150462623We would never get shit like this for animated movies ever again
Kids movie btw
>>150462777This movie is pure kino man
Kino movie anon, good taste
Meh, a little too depressing
>>150462623It's a feature version of a student animation film and it comes across as exactly that.It's not bad or anything but not particularly memorable and certainly not a story that benefited particularly from being expanded.
>>150463197Huh? Isn't it very hopeful?
>>150463223>Not particularly memorableIdk bout that anon, ever since I watched that film it stuck and every now and then I rewatch it along with other gems like surfs upBut yeah the story isn't really something to expand on, I don't think it was planned for it anyways, seemed like a one and done movie, and it was PURE kino
Reminds me of More.I only saw it in theaters, but I remember not liking it as much as I wanted to. Maybe it's time for a rewatch.
>>150463441Just finished rewatching this gem thanks to this thread, 9 truly is peak
>>150463489Whoops supposed to quote op whatever
>>150462623Late 2000s were a kino casino for non-Disney movies, this one gets too much hate
>>150463543>too much hateIt's just ignored, not "hated" anon.
I should give this a watch again, I would be curious to know if I would like it any more as an adult.As a kid I think I found it boring but I don't really remember why even. I remember nothing about the movie besides the aesthetic - which is why I was interested in the first place - but I didn't come out of it with a positive opinion.
>>150462623A tale as old as time>Kino gets released>Everyone ignores it>Finds small cult following>Thru word of mouth it gets popular again>Mourn the fact that we can't get more it is what it is, also 7 is badass, she takes a hit from this mechanical bird and just walks it off, I love her
>>150463407No I definetely think a sequel was talked about, the director says as much in a commentary IIRC. It's a decent enough film but like others said stretched a little thin from its pilot origins. Visually holds up well though, them Burton bucks coming through
>>150462623SorryThis movie was not good
>>150463768I forgive you, you probably can use a break.
>>150463768To each his own anon
>>150463782What? A break?
>>150462623Goddamit this movie is impossible to search for in torrent sites
>>150462623It would have probably fared better and be more widely remembered if 2009 hadn't been such an amazing year for animation. It was up against the likes of Coraline, Up, Secret of Kells and Fantastic Mr. Fox ffs
>>150462777
>>150463905kek, but seriously the fucking baby puppet thing that hypnotizes the dolls with flashing lights is creepy af>>150462680
>>150462630Because the story can be summed up as....Humans use technology to invent their own doom and now the Earth can move on without humanity.And humans do NOT like this kind of story. Humans are selfish narcissistic animals they like to think all begins with themselves. So a story that goes 'Life goes on after humans" is an existential insult to a human's ego and as such they don't feel like caring for it. Humans are wired like this.I think the only time I've seen a media that goes "Humans are dead and extinct yay!" and it remains popular is Splatoon and even then its because the characters in Splatoon look essentially like humans anyway. To conclude with no human characters to get invested in audiences don't have a reason to care about what happens in the story.
>>150463905>>150463924In context it's terrifying, the dead body of your friend being used as bait to hypnotize you with flashing lights and be captured afterwards, it's kinda fucked up for a kids movie
>>150463818No its not
>>150464138
>>150464129I love post-humanity stories, though yeah they usually just end up being post-society stories where humans are still around.>A Canticle for Leibowitz >The Postman>Mad Max/WaterWorld>Horizon: Zero DawnI'm not sure of how many stories outright remove humanity from the setting from the outset. Maybe that "Peace on Earth" cartoon short from 1939?
>>150462623Well shit anon, time for a rewatch
It was all style, no substance. The story was about as much as you can expect from a cool short being unnecessarily stretched out into a feature length movie and the characters were all kind of lame.
>>150462623This movieBarnyardSurfs upMy 3 personal underrated gems
>>150464129I feel like you are projecting to a high degree considering nine gets brought up a lot and was well received when it was released. Also the most popular topics on /co/ are about materials where humans are either not feature or are all but gone.
>>150462630it's a 16 year old film anon. You might as well ask why Monsters vs Aliens, Planet 51 and/or Fantastic Fox don't get more talk about.>>150464129Dude go look in a mirror, some of the most loved stories have nothing to do with humans an the idea life goes on without them isn't something that bothers them.
>>150465793People always give Rango lots of attention
The short is betterhttps://vimeo.com/37209185
>>150462623Why was 6 afraid of 7? Because 7 8 9
>>150462623This, Caroline, & Meet the Robinsons fucked me up as a kid. In a good way
>>150465804Not much more really, but consider that it was a meta layer story with a very interesting art style. I love nine but neither the plot nor the animations was anything ground breaking for the time. Again, though I don't see Rango get much more conversation than Nine.
>>150465804because Rango is genuinely good and not a "oh yeah that happened"
>>150465875No its not, you guys just like the western genre and that one lizard girl. Unremarkable characters, story, and shit visuals.
>>150465982incorrect
>>150462623Mad God but for kids
>>150466000Barely anyone remembers it.
>>150465875>>150465982>>150466000All me
>>150465982>you guys just like the western genrePretty much. Rango is a gimmick film.
>>150465793>or Fantastic FoxPeople still like that all over the internet. You guys are contrarian shitters.
>>150465804I like Rango peak film honestly, in fact after I rewatch 9 I'll rewatch rango, bye anons
>>1504626239 was definitely great. You'll never know how much you truly had it until its gone.
>>150466046These people don't read opinions online except from animation nerds. It's film lovers and especially Wes Anderson fans that love Fantastic Mr. Fox, not /co/. I've never seen anyone here even talk about it despite it being one of my favorite movies.
I think it would have made better as anything else other than a movie. It doesn't feel very fleshed out and spread very thin.
>>150466046The reply chain was about /co/ not the general internet and >>150466793 noted it but it still isn't any more talked about than 9 because it's a rather old film and you'll notice for better or worse most internet conversations are on what's new.
