CGI stuff isn't really lending itself to styles so far. 

Which is weird, because there's no reason it SHOULDN'T.  If anything, 16 billion colors and infinite sightlines of the digital space should allow for tremendous individual expression, but everyone ends up rigging the same sort of skeletons with the same sort of uncanny valley shiny figures.

You know what DID have a distinctive maintained style, in both design and color range?  The Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs series.  Fucking fantastic movies, way better than I anticipated.

Well with computer graphics, many times it's a function of the software and hardware you have.  I really want to see Mr. Peabody and Sherman when it's on Redbox so I can tell if they kept the style of the tv series.  Cloudy was really different in great ways I agree. I just think sometimes the CGI folks get too wrapped up in the themes of the animation instead of taking chances with lighting and colors.  Sleeping Beauty is one of my favorite movies because it does run a gamut of styles and the music and animation all create perfect mood swings along the way.

Very good animated..... for starting to use mix of cgi and traditional Was Treasure Planet from disney ...

Had some great looks, as well as some of the backdrops and scenery...

... Stormy, I LOVED Treasure Planet.  I also kind of thought I was the only person in the world who'd seen it.

I saw Treasure Planet at 300 am during my bout with the flu during the holidays....

maybe it was the 100 degree plus temperature I had....

But i loved it

As usual some amazing backgrounds .. A very interesting twist on the classic tale.  You can tell, some people really had begun playing with blends of classic animation, mixed with CGI.
Think it was about the same time  Titan A.E. came out, different studio.  Another space epic, that worked between both medias.

Happened to catch Captain America Winter soldier finally ...  As usual have to make sure to catch the Stan Lee cameo..
Plus the after credits reveal of soon to be Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch!!

Not hearing anything on it ... Yet kind of feel a vibe.. They need to do Black Widow her own feature. They seem to be using her a lot.

Trailers.... MALIFICENT  DAMN this is looking very good!!  Godzilla .. Ummmmmm still not sure of.
Guardians of the Galaxy .. Still looking weak .. NOT good when the teaser to catch your attention. Has you still not sure you really want to spend theater money to see it or wait for home release.

THAT said .... DAMN missed something classic around Easter.. Like January princess bride. They did showing of Charlton Heston/ Yul Brynner Ten Commandments restored.
Also did Ben Hur ... Guess I will have to keep an eye out next year this time.

I think Godzilla's gonna be fantastic.  At the very least, it's gonna blow the last American attempt into sizzling spattered fragments all over the lawn.

That's setting the bar very low.  I think everyone involved should apologize to Jean Reno for having his awesomeness wasted in that dreck.

Have you seen the trailer for Asia? It has a little more in it that makes me even more stoked for the film.

[ThePurpleVixen]

Jean Reno at least made his scenes watchable.  His pointless, pointless scenes in a basketball arena filled with raptors.

Here's a Godzilla movie - half of it is a romantic comedy with a pudgy Ferris Bueller and half of it is a cheap Jurassic Park remake with lots of Knicks product placement.

In between there's an iguana eating fish.

Jesus.

Yeah, the new one looks pretty fucking incredible.

I mean, it's gonna have to try pretty hard to beat Godzilla: Final Wars for ME, at least, but it looks like it'll give it a try.

You haven't even mentioned...the eggs...

Final Wars was amazing, but I'm a sucker for some good old Kaiju Wrasslin'.  I'm hoping this one delivers.

[ThePurpleVixen]

It's too much to hope for other kaiju for the first movie, PROBABLY.  It looks like the classic Godzilla vs. Armies of Man set-up. I do like how the Americans hear that there is some sort of radioactive colossus destroying entire countrysides and razing cities like the Romans taking Carthage, and their first thought is -

PARATROOPERS.

I'm hoping the paratroopers idea makes sense in context.  And you do know it has been widely reported that there are other kaiju in the first movie. The Asia trailer kinda shows one. Almost.

Wasn't Final Wars... where they had the more normal style Godzilla .. trash the Mathew Broderick version, in like 10 seconds??
Kind of like fastest elimination in a royal rumble match.... Enters the ring.. Gets grabbed and tossed out the other side..
Think Jerry the king Lawler held that for awhile.. I'm sure someone else has the embarassment of beating his time by now...  He he he

The soundtrack by Sum 41 makes it for me.  I use that song when I'm playing a super-annoying heel.
