I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds. More love letters to people like Picasso and even one of his favorite comedies, <em>Mean Girls.<\/em> The whole book is such a perfect melding of Mexican heritage, Spanish tradition, and just the right amount of Aztec flair.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screen-Shot-2014-12-08-at-10.38.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Book of life art book locations\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" \/>\r\n<h2>Afterword by Paul Sullivan<\/h2>\r\nIf it wasn't enough,\u00a0reading through the book from the directors eyes, a few words from the art director, Paul Sullivan, really put the stamp on the end. It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read.

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds. More love letters to people like Picasso and even one of his favorite comedies, <em>Mean Girls.<\/em> The whole book is such a perfect melding of Mexican heritage, Spanish tradition, and just the right amount of Aztec flair.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screen-Shot-2014-12-08-at-10.38.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Book of life art book locations\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" \/>\r\n<h2>Afterword by Paul Sullivan<\/h2>\r\nIf it wasn't enough,\u00a0reading through the book from the directors eyes, a few words from the art director, Paul Sullivan, really put the stamp on the end. It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read.

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds. More love letters to people like Picasso and even one of his favorite comedies, <em>Mean Girls.<\/em> The whole book is such a perfect melding of Mexican heritage, Spanish tradition, and just the right amount of Aztec flair.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screen-Shot-2014-12-08-at-10.38.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Book of life art book locations\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" \/>\r\n<h2>Afterword by Paul Sullivan<\/h2>\r\nIf it wasn't enough,\u00a0reading through the book from the directors eyes, a few words from the art director, Paul Sullivan, really put the stamp on the end. It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read.

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it. Yeah, I think I'm just going to blame Don.)<\/span>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Fox-and-the-houd-friends-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Fox and the houd friends Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" \/>\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vuE_tNaRjmw\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\r\n<h3>Let us know what movies make you cry and then vote on the next Top 10 video!<\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[polldaddy poll=8825000]<\/p>\r\nEdited by: Hannah Wilkes","post_title":"Top 10 Animated Movies that Make Me Cry Like a Baby!","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"top-10-animated-movies-that-make-me-cry-like-a-baby","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2015-10-30 13:30:34","post_modified_gmt":"2015-10-30 20:30:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=28333","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"28","filter":"raw"},{"ID":27028,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2015-03-10 08:30:46","post_date_gmt":"2015-03-10 15:30:46","post_content":"\r\n<p>Mason is flying solo as he interviews <strong>Christopher Knights<\/strong>, the voice of Private from <em><strong>Penguins of Madagascar<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:html -->\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?e=ADV7706497105&light=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:html -->\r\n<h3><strong>Highlights<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Chris\u00a0talks about his job at DreamWorks Animation as an editor and how he got into voice acting.<\/li>\r\n<li>Mason asks about<em>\u00a0<\/em>other<em> DreamWorks <\/em>films like <em>Shrek,\u00a0Trolls, Me and My Shadow,\u00a0<\/em>and<em> Mumbai Musical.\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\r\n<li>Chris also answers a question we had on a previous episode, <em>We're Back!

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique.

We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds.

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read.

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it. Yeah, I think I'm just going to blame Don.)<\/span>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Fox-and-the-houd-friends-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Fox and the houd friends Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" \/>\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vuE_tNaRjmw\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\r\n<h3>Let us know what movies make you cry and then vote on the next Top 10 video!<\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[polldaddy poll=8825000]<\/p>\r\nEdited by: Hannah Wilkes","post_title":"Top 10 Animated Movies that Make Me Cry Like a Baby!","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"top-10-animated-movies-that-make-me-cry-like-a-baby","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2015-10-30 13:30:34","post_modified_gmt":"2015-10-30 20:30:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=28333","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"28","filter":"raw"},{"ID":27028,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2015-03-10 08:30:46","post_date_gmt":"2015-03-10 15:30:46","post_content":"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Mason is flying solo as he interviews <strong>Christopher Knights<\/strong>, the voice of Private from <em><strong>Penguins of Madagascar<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:html -->\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?e=ADV7706497105&light=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:html -->\r\n<h3><strong>Highlights<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Chris\u00a0talks about his job at DreamWorks Animation as an editor and how he got into voice acting.<\/li>\r\n<li>Mason asks about<em>\u00a0<\/em>other<em> DreamWorks <\/em>films like <em>Shrek,\u00a0Trolls, Me and My Shadow,\u00a0<\/em>and<em> Mumbai Musical.\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\r\n<li>Chris also answers a question we had on a previous episode, <em>We're Back!

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds. More love letters to people like Picasso and even one of his favorite comedies, <em>Mean Girls.<\/em> The whole book is such a perfect melding of Mexican heritage, Spanish tradition, and just the right amount of Aztec flair.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screen-Shot-2014-12-08-at-10.38.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Book of life art book locations\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" \/>\r\n<h2>Afterword by Paul Sullivan<\/h2>\r\nIf it wasn't enough,\u00a0reading through the book from the directors eyes, a few words from the art director, Paul Sullivan, really put the stamp on the end. It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read. It's going to be more expensive than other art books but, if you\u00a0save up, you wont regret it.\r\n\r\nYou can buy it on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/LionKingArtBook\">Amazon<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/LionKingArtBookbd\">Book Depository<\/a>\r\n\r\nListen to our podcast on how much we love <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/60\"><em>The Lion King<\/em><\/a>!\r\n\r\n<iframe width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RQ1L-x06Pto\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>","post_title":"[BOOK REVIEW] The Art of 'The Lion King'","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"book-review-the-art-of-the-lion-king","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2014-12-11 20:23:34","post_modified_gmt":"2014-12-12 03:23:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=23559","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"1","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":23},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_3o3","class":"jnews_block_5"};</script> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-100774e elementor-widget elementor-widget-jnews_archive_pagination_elementor" data-id="100774e" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="jnews_archive_pagination_elementor.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="jeg_navigation jeg_pagination jeg_col_3o3 jnews_module_36485_4_69143d79e2b5e jeg_pagenav_1 jeg_aligncenter no_pageinfo"> <span class="page_info">Page 23 of 26</span> <a class="page_nav prev" data-id="22" href="https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/22/"><span class="navtext">Previous</span></a> <a class='page_number' data-id='1' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/'>1</a> <span class="page_number dots">…</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='22' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/22/'>22</a> <span class='page_number active'>23</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='24' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/24/'>24</a> <span class="page_number dots">…</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='26' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/26/'>26</a> <a class="page_nav next" data-id="24" href="https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/24/"><span class="navtext">Next</span></a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-ca773c7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer" data-id="ca773c7" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="spacer.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="elementor-spacer"> <div class="elementor-spacer-inner"></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> \n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>This post contains affiliate links.

Riley's emotions -- led by Joy (Amy Poehler) -- try to guide her through this difficult, life-changing event. However, the stress of the move brings Sadness (Phyllis Smith) to the forefront. When Joy and Sadness are inadvertently swept into the far reaches of Riley's mind, the only emotions left in Headquarters are Anger, Fear and Disgust.<\/blockquote>\r\n<em>Inside Out<\/em> hits theatres June 19!\r\n\r\nEdited by: Morgan Stradling","post_title":"[CONTEST] Win Tickets to See 'Inside Out' in Nashville, Raleigh or Charlotte!","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"contest-win-tickets-to-see-inside-out","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2015-06-14 12:14:48","post_modified_gmt":"2015-06-14 19:14:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=29755","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"3","filter":"raw"},{"ID":28333,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2015-05-14 06:03:07","post_date_gmt":"2015-05-14 13:03:07","post_content":"Mine is a\u00a0very tender hearted family. Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it. Yeah, I think I'm just going to blame Don.)<\/span>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Fox-and-the-houd-friends-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Fox and the houd friends Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" \/>\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vuE_tNaRjmw\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\r\n<h3>Let us know what movies make you cry and then vote on the next Top 10 video!<\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[polldaddy poll=8825000]<\/p>\r\nEdited by: Hannah Wilkes","post_title":"Top 10 Animated Movies that Make Me Cry Like a Baby!","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"top-10-animated-movies-that-make-me-cry-like-a-baby","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2015-10-30 13:30:34","post_modified_gmt":"2015-10-30 20:30:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=28333","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"28","filter":"raw"},{"ID":27028,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2015-03-10 08:30:46","post_date_gmt":"2015-03-10 15:30:46","post_content":"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Mason is flying solo as he interviews <strong>Christopher Knights<\/strong>, the voice of Private from <em><strong>Penguins of Madagascar<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:html -->\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?e=ADV7706497105&light=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:html -->\r\n<h3><strong>Highlights<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Chris\u00a0talks about his job at DreamWorks Animation as an editor and how he got into voice acting.<\/li>\r\n<li>Mason asks about<em>\u00a0<\/em>other<em> DreamWorks <\/em>films like <em>Shrek,\u00a0Trolls, Me and My Shadow,\u00a0<\/em>and<em> Mumbai Musical.\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\r\n<li>Chris also answers a question we had on a previous episode, <em>We're Back!

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds. More love letters to people like Picasso and even one of his favorite comedies, <em>Mean Girls.<\/em> The whole book is such a perfect melding of Mexican heritage, Spanish tradition, and just the right amount of Aztec flair.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screen-Shot-2014-12-08-at-10.38.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Book of life art book locations\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" \/>\r\n<h2>Afterword by Paul Sullivan<\/h2>\r\nIf it wasn't enough,\u00a0reading through the book from the directors eyes, a few words from the art director, Paul Sullivan, really put the stamp on the end. It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read.

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it.

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds. More love letters to people like Picasso and even one of his favorite comedies, <em>Mean Girls.<\/em> The whole book is such a perfect melding of Mexican heritage, Spanish tradition, and just the right amount of Aztec flair.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screen-Shot-2014-12-08-at-10.38.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Book of life art book locations\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" \/>\r\n<h2>Afterword by Paul Sullivan<\/h2>\r\nIf it wasn't enough,\u00a0reading through the book from the directors eyes, a few words from the art director, Paul Sullivan, really put the stamp on the end. It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read.

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it. Yeah, I think I'm just going to blame Don.)<\/span>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Fox-and-the-houd-friends-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Fox and the houd friends Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" \/>\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vuE_tNaRjmw\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\r\n<h3>Let us know what movies make you cry and then vote on the next Top 10 video!<\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[polldaddy poll=8825000]<\/p>\r\nEdited by: Hannah Wilkes","post_title":"Top 10 Animated Movies that Make Me Cry Like a Baby!","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"top-10-animated-movies-that-make-me-cry-like-a-baby","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2015-10-30 13:30:34","post_modified_gmt":"2015-10-30 20:30:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=28333","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"28","filter":"raw"},{"ID":27028,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2015-03-10 08:30:46","post_date_gmt":"2015-03-10 15:30:46","post_content":"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Mason is flying solo as he interviews <strong>Christopher Knights<\/strong>, the voice of Private from <em><strong>Penguins of Madagascar<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:html -->\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?e=ADV7706497105&light=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:html -->\r\n<h3><strong>Highlights<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Chris\u00a0talks about his job at DreamWorks Animation as an editor and how he got into voice acting.<\/li>\r\n<li>Mason asks about<em>\u00a0<\/em>other<em> DreamWorks <\/em>films like <em>Shrek,\u00a0Trolls, Me and My Shadow,\u00a0<\/em>and<em> Mumbai Musical.\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\r\n<li>Chris also answers a question we had on a previous episode, <em>We're Back!

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch.

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read. It's going to be more expensive than other art books but, if you\u00a0save up, you wont regret it.\r\n\r\nYou can buy it on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/LionKingArtBook\">Amazon<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/LionKingArtBookbd\">Book Depository<\/a>\r\n\r\nListen to our podcast on how much we love <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/60\"><em>The Lion King<\/em><\/a>!\r\n\r\n<iframe width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RQ1L-x06Pto\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>","post_title":"[BOOK REVIEW] The Art of 'The Lion King'","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"book-review-the-art-of-the-lion-king","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2014-12-11 20:23:34","post_modified_gmt":"2014-12-12 03:23:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=23559","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"1","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":23},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_3o3","class":"jnews_block_5"};</script> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-100774e elementor-widget elementor-widget-jnews_archive_pagination_elementor" data-id="100774e" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="jnews_archive_pagination_elementor.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="jeg_navigation jeg_pagination jeg_col_3o3 jnews_module_36485_4_69143d79e2b5e jeg_pagenav_1 jeg_aligncenter no_pageinfo"> <span class="page_info">Page 23 of 26</span> <a class="page_nav prev" data-id="22" href="https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/22/"><span class="navtext">Previous</span></a> <a class='page_number' data-id='1' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/'>1</a> <span class="page_number dots">…</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='22' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/22/'>22</a> <span class='page_number active'>23</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='24' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/24/'>24</a> <span class="page_number dots">…</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='26' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/26/'>26</a> <a class="page_nav next" data-id="24" href="https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/24/"><span class="navtext">Next</span></a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-ca773c7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer" data-id="ca773c7" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="spacer.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="elementor-spacer"> <div class="elementor-spacer-inner"></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> \n<h3><strong>Find The Hosts<\/strong><\/h3>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n\n<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Mason Smith: <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.masonsmithportfolio.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Portfolio<\/a><\/li><li>Morgan Stradling: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/morganstradling\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.instagram.com\/morganstradling\">Instagram<\/a><\/li><li>Chelsea Robson: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/chelsearobson\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chelsearobson.com\/\">Website<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n<!-- \/wp:list -->\n\n<!-- wp:spacer -->\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:spacer -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"align\":\"center\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>This post contains affiliate links.

Riley's emotions -- led by Joy (Amy Poehler) -- try to guide her through this difficult, life-changing event. However, the stress of the move brings Sadness (Phyllis Smith) to the forefront. When Joy and Sadness are inadvertently swept into the far reaches of Riley's mind, the only emotions left in Headquarters are Anger, Fear and Disgust.<\/blockquote>\r\n<em>Inside Out<\/em> hits theatres June 19!\r\n\r\nEdited by: Morgan Stradling","post_title":"[CONTEST] Win Tickets to See 'Inside Out' in Nashville, Raleigh or Charlotte!","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"contest-win-tickets-to-see-inside-out","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2015-06-14 12:14:48","post_modified_gmt":"2015-06-14 19:14:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=29755","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"3","filter":"raw"},{"ID":28333,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2015-05-14 06:03:07","post_date_gmt":"2015-05-14 13:03:07","post_content":"Mine is a\u00a0very tender hearted family. Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it. Yeah, I think I'm just going to blame Don.)<\/span>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Fox-and-the-houd-friends-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Fox and the houd friends Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" \/>\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vuE_tNaRjmw\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\r\n<h3>Let us know what movies make you cry and then vote on the next Top 10 video!<\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[polldaddy poll=8825000]<\/p>\r\nEdited by: Hannah Wilkes","post_title":"Top 10 Animated Movies that Make Me Cry Like a Baby!","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"top-10-animated-movies-that-make-me-cry-like-a-baby","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2015-10-30 13:30:34","post_modified_gmt":"2015-10-30 20:30:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=28333","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"28","filter":"raw"},{"ID":27028,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2015-03-10 08:30:46","post_date_gmt":"2015-03-10 15:30:46","post_content":"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Mason is flying solo as he interviews <strong>Christopher Knights<\/strong>, the voice of Private from <em><strong>Penguins of Madagascar<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:html -->\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?e=ADV7706497105&light=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:html -->\r\n<h3><strong>Highlights<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Chris\u00a0talks about his job at DreamWorks Animation as an editor and how he got into voice acting.<\/li>\r\n<li>Mason asks about<em>\u00a0<\/em>other<em> DreamWorks <\/em>films like <em>Shrek,\u00a0Trolls, Me and My Shadow,\u00a0<\/em>and<em> Mumbai Musical.\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\r\n<li>Chris also answers a question we had on a previous episode, <em>We're Back!

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds. More love letters to people like Picasso and even one of his favorite comedies, <em>Mean Girls.<\/em> The whole book is such a perfect melding of Mexican heritage, Spanish tradition, and just the right amount of Aztec flair.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screen-Shot-2014-12-08-at-10.38.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Book of life art book locations\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" \/>\r\n<h2>Afterword by Paul Sullivan<\/h2>\r\nIf it wasn't enough,\u00a0reading through the book from the directors eyes, a few words from the art director, Paul Sullivan, really put the stamp on the end. It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read.

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it.

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds. More love letters to people like Picasso and even one of his favorite comedies, <em>Mean Girls.<\/em> The whole book is such a perfect melding of Mexican heritage, Spanish tradition, and just the right amount of Aztec flair.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screen-Shot-2014-12-08-at-10.38.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Book of life art book locations\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" \/>\r\n<h2>Afterword by Paul Sullivan<\/h2>\r\nIf it wasn't enough,\u00a0reading through the book from the directors eyes, a few words from the art director, Paul Sullivan, really put the stamp on the end. It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read. It's going to be more expensive than other art books but, if you\u00a0save up, you wont regret it.\r\n\r\nYou can buy it on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/LionKingArtBook\">Amazon<\/a> or <a

YOU guys will be quizzing the hosts!\r\n\r\nWe need your help to make the questions!\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 1: Go back and listen to a few random episodes.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 2: Think of hard questions for us like, \"Who said it? Morgan, Mason or Chelsea?\" Or more general, like, \"What movie did Mason rate the lowest?\" etc. Make some really good ones that only a true Animation Addict would know! \u00a0It will be fun to see how much (or little) we can remember.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 3: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/rotosurvey\">Submit your questions!<\/a><\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe day before the episode is aired, we will also be posting the quiz for everyone to take.

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it. Yeah, I think I'm just going to blame Don.)<\/span>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Fox-and-the-houd-friends-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Fox and the houd friends Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" \/>\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vuE_tNaRjmw\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\r\n<h3>Let us know what movies make you cry and then vote on the next Top 10 video!<\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[polldaddy poll=8825000]<\/p>\r\nEdited by: Hannah Wilkes","post_title":"Top 10 Animated Movies that Make Me Cry Like a Baby!","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"top-10-animated-movies-that-make-me-cry-like-a-baby","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2015-10-30 13:30:34","post_modified_gmt":"2015-10-30 20:30:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=28333","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"28","filter":"raw"},{"ID":27028,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2015-03-10 08:30:46","post_date_gmt":"2015-03-10 15:30:46","post_content":"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Mason is flying solo as he interviews <strong>Christopher Knights<\/strong>, the voice of Private from <em><strong>Penguins of Madagascar<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:html -->\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?e=ADV7706497105&light=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:html -->\r\n<h3><strong>Highlights<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Chris\u00a0talks about his job at DreamWorks Animation as an editor and how he got into voice acting.<\/li>\r\n<li>Mason asks about<em>\u00a0<\/em>other<em> DreamWorks <\/em>films like <em>Shrek,\u00a0Trolls, Me and My Shadow,\u00a0<\/em>and<em> Mumbai Musical.\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\r\n<li>Chris also answers a question we had on a previous episode, <em>We're Back!

As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds. More love letters to people like Picasso and even one of his favorite comedies, <em>Mean Girls.<\/em> The whole book is such a perfect melding of Mexican heritage, Spanish tradition, and just the right amount of Aztec flair.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screen-Shot-2014-12-08-at-10.38.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Book of life art book locations\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" \/>\r\n<h2>Afterword by Paul Sullivan<\/h2>\r\nIf it wasn't enough,\u00a0reading through the book from the directors eyes, a few words from the art director, Paul Sullivan, really put the stamp on the end. It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read. It's going to be more expensive than other art books but, if you\u00a0save up, you wont regret it.\r\n\r\nYou can buy it on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/LionKingArtBook\">Amazon<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/LionKingArtBookbd\">Book Depository<\/a>\r\n\r\nListen to our podcast on how much we love <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/60\"><em>The Lion King<\/em><\/a>!\r\n\r\n<iframe width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RQ1L-x06Pto\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>","post_title":"[BOOK REVIEW] The Art of 'The Lion King'","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"book-review-the-art-of-the-lion-king","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2014-12-11 20:23:34","post_modified_gmt":"2014-12-12 03:23:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=23559","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"1","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":23},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_3o3","class":"jnews_block_5"};</script> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-100774e elementor-widget elementor-widget-jnews_archive_pagination_elementor" data-id="100774e" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="jnews_archive_pagination_elementor.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="jeg_navigation jeg_pagination jeg_col_3o3 jnews_module_36485_4_69143d79e2b5e jeg_pagenav_1 jeg_aligncenter no_pageinfo"> <span class="page_info">Page 23 of 26</span> <a class="page_nav prev" data-id="22" href="https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/22/"><span class="navtext">Previous</span></a> <a class='page_number' data-id='1' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/'>1</a> <span class="page_number dots">…</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='22' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/22/'>22</a> <span class='page_number active'>23</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='24' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/24/'>24</a> <span class="page_number dots">…</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='26' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/26/'>26</a> <a class="page_nav next" data-id="24" href="https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/24/"><span class="navtext">Next</span></a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-ca773c7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer" data-id="ca773c7" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="spacer.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="elementor-spacer"> <div class="elementor-spacer-inner"></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> \n<ul><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/goo.gl\/forms\/oMevQtiyed\" target=\"_blank\">Compete in RotoTrivia!<\/a> \u2013 Top 3 Scores will win a free T-Shirt!

So, to fit this new format we are going to be doing something a little different.\r\n\r\nInstead of us going back and finding clips of the best moments for the year we want to put together a quiz to find out who knows the most about the Animation Addicts Podcast. The twist is that Chelsea, Mason, and Morgan are going to be put on the spot! That's right! YOU guys will be quizzing the hosts!\r\n\r\nWe need your help to make the questions!\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 1: Go back and listen to a few random episodes.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 2: Think of hard questions for us like, \"Who said it? Morgan, Mason or Chelsea?\" Or more general, like, \"What movie did Mason rate the lowest?\" etc. Make some really good ones that only a true Animation Addict would know! \u00a0It will be fun to see how much (or little) we can remember.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 3: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/rotosurvey\">Submit your questions!<\/a><\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe day before the episode is aired, we will also be posting the quiz for everyone to take. Then you and everyone else can see how well they know the Animation Addicts Podcast and the highest scores will be announced on the air with the grand prize of a FREE Limited Edition Rotoscopers T-shirt!\r\n\r\nEdited by: Hannah Wilkes","post_title":"We Need Your Help for the 'Best of 2015' Show!","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"we-need-your-help-for-the-best-of-2015-show","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2015-12-23 00:23:13","post_modified_gmt":"2015-12-23 07:23:13","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=35385","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":31880,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2015-07-31 07:18:44","post_date_gmt":"2015-07-31 14:18:44","post_content":"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Morgan, Mason, and Chelsea are celebrating the 100th episode of the Animation Addicts Podcast by coming together for the first time ever!

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it.

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds. More love letters to people like Picasso and even one of his favorite comedies, <em>Mean Girls.<\/em> The whole book is such a perfect melding of Mexican heritage, Spanish tradition, and just the right amount of Aztec flair.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screen-Shot-2014-12-08-at-10.38.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Book of life art book locations\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" \/>\r\n<h2>Afterword by Paul Sullivan<\/h2>\r\nIf it wasn't enough,\u00a0reading through the book from the directors eyes, a few words from the art director, Paul Sullivan, really put the stamp on the end. It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read.

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it. Yeah, I think I'm just going to blame Don.)<\/span>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Fox-and-the-houd-friends-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Fox and the houd friends Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" \/>\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vuE_tNaRjmw\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\r\n<h3>Let us know what movies make you cry and then vote on the next Top 10 video!<\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[polldaddy poll=8825000]<\/p>\r\nEdited by: Hannah Wilkes","post_title":"Top 10 Animated Movies that Make Me Cry Like a Baby!","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"top-10-animated-movies-that-make-me-cry-like-a-baby","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2015-10-30 13:30:34","post_modified_gmt":"2015-10-30 20:30:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=28333","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"28","filter":"raw"},{"ID":27028,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2015-03-10 08:30:46","post_date_gmt":"2015-03-10 15:30:46","post_content":"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Mason is flying solo as he interviews <strong>Christopher Knights<\/strong>, the voice of Private from <em><strong>Penguins of Madagascar<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:html -->\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?e=ADV7706497105&light=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:html -->\r\n<h3><strong>Highlights<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Chris\u00a0talks about his job at DreamWorks Animation as an editor and how he got into voice acting.<\/li>\r\n<li>Mason asks about<em>\u00a0<\/em>other<em> DreamWorks <\/em>films like <em>Shrek,\u00a0Trolls, Me and My Shadow,\u00a0<\/em>and<em> Mumbai Musical.\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\r\n<li>Chris also answers a question we had on a previous episode, <em>We're Back!

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds. More love letters to people like Picasso and even one of his favorite comedies, <em>Mean Girls.<\/em> The whole book is such a perfect melding of Mexican heritage, Spanish tradition, and just the right amount of Aztec flair.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screen-Shot-2014-12-08-at-10.38.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Book of life art book locations\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" \/>\r\n<h2>Afterword by Paul Sullivan<\/h2>\r\nIf it wasn't enough,\u00a0reading through the book from the directors eyes, a few words from the art director, Paul Sullivan, really put the stamp on the end. It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read.

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it. Yeah, I think I'm just going to blame Don.)<\/span>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Fox-and-the-houd-friends-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Fox and the houd friends Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" \/>\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vuE_tNaRjmw\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\r\n<h3>Let us know what movies make you cry and then vote on the next Top 10 video!<\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[polldaddy poll=8825000]<\/p>\r\nEdited by: Hannah Wilkes","post_title":"Top 10 Animated Movies that Make Me Cry Like a Baby!","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"top-10-animated-movies-that-make-me-cry-like-a-baby","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2015-10-30 13:30:34","post_modified_gmt":"2015-10-30 20:30:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=28333","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"28","filter":"raw"},{"ID":27028,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2015-03-10 08:30:46","post_date_gmt":"2015-03-10 15:30:46","post_content":"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Mason is flying solo as he interviews <strong>Christopher Knights<\/strong>, the voice of Private from <em><strong>Penguins of Madagascar<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:html -->\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?e=ADV7706497105&light=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:html -->\r\n<h3><strong>Highlights<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Chris\u00a0talks about his job at DreamWorks Animation as an editor and how he got into voice acting.<\/li>\r\n<li>Mason asks about<em>\u00a0<\/em>other<em> DreamWorks <\/em>films like <em>Shrek,\u00a0Trolls, Me and My Shadow,\u00a0<\/em>and<em> Mumbai Musical.\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\r\n<li>Chris also answers a question we had on a previous episode, <em>We're Back!

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds.

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read.

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it.

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds. More love letters to people like Picasso and even one of his favorite comedies, <em>Mean Girls.<\/em> The whole book is such a perfect melding of Mexican heritage, Spanish tradition, and just the right amount of Aztec flair.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screen-Shot-2014-12-08-at-10.38.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Book of life art book locations\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" \/>\r\n<h2>Afterword by Paul Sullivan<\/h2>\r\nIf it wasn't enough,\u00a0reading through the book from the directors eyes, a few words from the art director, Paul Sullivan, really put the stamp on the end. It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars!

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it. Yeah, I think I'm just going to blame Don.)<\/span>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Fox-and-the-houd-friends-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Fox and the houd friends Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" \/>\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vuE_tNaRjmw\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\r\n<h3>Let us know what movies make you cry and then vote on the next Top 10 video!<\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[polldaddy poll=8825000]<\/p>\r\nEdited by: Hannah Wilkes","post_title":"Top 10 Animated Movies that Make Me Cry Like a Baby!","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"top-10-animated-movies-that-make-me-cry-like-a-baby","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2015-10-30 13:30:34","post_modified_gmt":"2015-10-30 20:30:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=28333","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"28","filter":"raw"},{"ID":27028,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2015-03-10 08:30:46","post_date_gmt":"2015-03-10 15:30:46","post_content":"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Mason is flying solo as he interviews <strong>Christopher Knights<\/strong>, the voice of Private from <em><strong>Penguins of Madagascar<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:html -->\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?e=ADV7706497105&light=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:html -->\r\n<h3><strong>Highlights<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Chris\u00a0talks about his job at DreamWorks Animation as an editor and how he got into voice acting.<\/li>\r\n<li>Mason asks about<em>\u00a0<\/em>other<em> DreamWorks <\/em>films like <em>Shrek,\u00a0Trolls, Me and My Shadow,\u00a0<\/em>and<em> Mumbai Musical.\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\r\n<li>Chris also answers a question we had on a previous episode, <em>We're Back!

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds. More love letters to people like Picasso and even one of his favorite comedies, <em>Mean Girls.<\/em> The whole book is such a perfect melding of Mexican heritage, Spanish tradition, and just the right amount of Aztec flair.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screen-Shot-2014-12-08-at-10.38.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Book of life art book locations\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" \/>\r\n<h2>Afterword by Paul Sullivan<\/h2>\r\nIf it wasn't enough,\u00a0reading through the book from the directors eyes, a few words from the art director, Paul Sullivan, really put the stamp on the end. It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read.

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it. Yeah, I think I'm just going to blame Don.)<\/span>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Fox-and-the-houd-friends-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Fox and the houd friends Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" \/>\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vuE_tNaRjmw\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\r\n<h3>Let us know what movies make you cry and then vote on the next Top 10 video!<\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[polldaddy poll=8825000]<\/p>\r\nEdited by: Hannah Wilkes","post_title":"Top 10 Animated Movies that Make Me Cry Like a Baby!","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"top-10-animated-movies-that-make-me-cry-like-a-baby","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2015-10-30 13:30:34","post_modified_gmt":"2015-10-30 20:30:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=28333","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"28","filter":"raw"},{"ID":27028,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2015-03-10 08:30:46","post_date_gmt":"2015-03-10 15:30:46","post_content":"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Mason is flying solo as he interviews <strong>Christopher Knights<\/strong>, the voice of Private from <em><strong>Penguins of Madagascar<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:html -->\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?e=ADV7706497105&light=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:html -->\r\n<h3><strong>Highlights<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Chris\u00a0talks about his job at DreamWorks Animation as an editor and how he got into voice acting.<\/li>\r\n<li>Mason asks about<em>\u00a0<\/em>other<em> DreamWorks <\/em>films like <em>Shrek,\u00a0Trolls, Me and My Shadow,\u00a0<\/em>and<em> Mumbai Musical.\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\r\n<li>Chris also answers a question we had on a previous episode, <em>We're Back!

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique.

We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds.

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read.

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it.

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds. More love letters to people like Picasso and even one of his favorite comedies, <em>Mean Girls.<\/em> The whole book is such a perfect melding of Mexican heritage, Spanish tradition, and just the right amount of Aztec flair.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screen-Shot-2014-12-08-at-10.38.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Book of life art book locations\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" \/>\r\n<h2>Afterword by Paul Sullivan<\/h2>\r\nIf it wasn't enough,\u00a0reading through the book from the directors eyes, a few words from the art director, Paul Sullivan, really put the stamp on the end. It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read.

The twist is that Chelsea, Mason, and Morgan are going to be put on the spot! That's right! YOU guys will be quizzing the hosts!\r\n\r\nWe need your help to make the questions!\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 1: Go back and listen to a few random episodes.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 2: Think of hard questions for us like, \"Who said it? Morgan, Mason or Chelsea?\" Or more general, like, \"What movie did Mason rate the lowest?\" etc. Make some really good ones that only a true Animation Addict would know! \u00a0It will be fun to see how much (or little) we can remember.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 3: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/rotosurvey\">Submit your questions!<\/a><\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe day before the episode is aired, we will also be posting the quiz for everyone to take.

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it. Yeah, I think I'm just going to blame Don.)<\/span>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Fox-and-the-houd-friends-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Fox and the houd friends Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" \/>\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vuE_tNaRjmw\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\r\n<h3>Let us know what movies make you cry and then vote on the next Top 10 video!<\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[polldaddy poll=8825000]<\/p>\r\nEdited by: Hannah Wilkes","post_title":"Top 10 Animated Movies that Make Me Cry Like a Baby!","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"top-10-animated-movies-that-make-me-cry-like-a-baby","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2015-10-30 13:30:34","post_modified_gmt":"2015-10-30 20:30:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=28333","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"28","filter":"raw"},{"ID":27028,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2015-03-10 08:30:46","post_date_gmt":"2015-03-10 15:30:46","post_content":"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Mason is flying solo as he interviews <strong>Christopher Knights<\/strong>, the voice of Private from <em><strong>Penguins of Madagascar<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:html -->\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?e=ADV7706497105&light=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:html -->\r\n<h3><strong>Highlights<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Chris\u00a0talks about his job at DreamWorks Animation as an editor and how he got into voice acting.<\/li>\r\n<li>Mason asks about<em>\u00a0<\/em>other<em> DreamWorks <\/em>films like <em>Shrek,\u00a0Trolls, Me and My Shadow,\u00a0<\/em>and<em> Mumbai Musical.\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\r\n<li>Chris also answers a question we had on a previous episode, <em>We're Back!

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds. More love letters to people like Picasso and even one of his favorite comedies, <em>Mean Girls.<\/em> The whole book is such a perfect melding of Mexican heritage, Spanish tradition, and just the right amount of Aztec flair.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screen-Shot-2014-12-08-at-10.38.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Book of life art book locations\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" \/>\r\n<h2>Afterword by Paul Sullivan<\/h2>\r\nIf it wasn't enough,\u00a0reading through the book from the directors eyes, a few words from the art director, Paul Sullivan, really put the stamp on the end. It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read.

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it. Yeah, I think I'm just going to blame Don.)<\/span>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Fox-and-the-houd-friends-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Fox and the houd friends Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" \/>\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vuE_tNaRjmw\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\r\n<h3>Let us know what movies make you cry and then vote on the next Top 10 video!<\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[polldaddy poll=8825000]<\/p>\r\nEdited by: Hannah Wilkes","post_title":"Top 10 Animated Movies that Make Me Cry Like a Baby!","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"top-10-animated-movies-that-make-me-cry-like-a-baby","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2015-10-30 13:30:34","post_modified_gmt":"2015-10-30 20:30:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=28333","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"28","filter":"raw"},{"ID":27028,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2015-03-10 08:30:46","post_date_gmt":"2015-03-10 15:30:46","post_content":"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Mason is flying solo as he interviews <strong>Christopher Knights<\/strong>, the voice of Private from <em><strong>Penguins of Madagascar<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:html -->\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?e=ADV7706497105&light=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:html -->\r\n<h3><strong>Highlights<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Chris\u00a0talks about his job at DreamWorks Animation as an editor and how he got into voice acting.<\/li>\r\n<li>Mason asks about<em>\u00a0<\/em>other<em> DreamWorks <\/em>films like <em>Shrek,\u00a0Trolls, Me and My Shadow,\u00a0<\/em>and<em> Mumbai Musical.\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\r\n<li>Chris also answers a question we had on a previous episode, <em>We're Back!

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique.

It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read. It's going to be more expensive than other art books but, if you\u00a0save up, you wont regret it.\r\n\r\nYou can buy it on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/LionKingArtBook\">Amazon<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/LionKingArtBookbd\">Book Depository<\/a>\r\n\r\nListen to our podcast on how much we love <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/60\"><em>The Lion King<\/em><\/a>!\r\n\r\n<iframe width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RQ1L-x06Pto\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>","post_title":"[BOOK REVIEW] The Art of 'The Lion King'","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"book-review-the-art-of-the-lion-king","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2014-12-11 20:23:34","post_modified_gmt":"2014-12-12 03:23:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=23559","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"1","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":23},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_3o3","class":"jnews_block_5"};</script> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-100774e elementor-widget elementor-widget-jnews_archive_pagination_elementor" data-id="100774e" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="jnews_archive_pagination_elementor.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="jeg_navigation jeg_pagination jeg_col_3o3 jnews_module_36485_4_69143d79e2b5e jeg_pagenav_1 jeg_aligncenter no_pageinfo"> <span class="page_info">Page 23 of 26</span> <a class="page_nav prev" data-id="22" href="https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/22/"><span class="navtext">Previous</span></a> <a class='page_number' data-id='1' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/'>1</a> <span class="page_number dots">…</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='22' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/22/'>22</a> <span class='page_number active'>23</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='24' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/24/'>24</a> <span class="page_number dots">…</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='26' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/26/'>26</a> <a class="page_nav next" data-id="24" href="https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/24/"><span class="navtext">Next</span></a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-ca773c7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer" data-id="ca773c7" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="spacer.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="elementor-spacer"> <div class="elementor-spacer-inner"></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> \n<p>Mason is out of town so it's another good ol' 'Morgan & Chelsea episode'.

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it.

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds. More love letters to people like Picasso and even one of his favorite comedies, <em>Mean Girls.<\/em> The whole book is such a perfect melding of Mexican heritage, Spanish tradition, and just the right amount of Aztec flair.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screen-Shot-2014-12-08-at-10.38.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Book of life art book locations\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" \/>\r\n<h2>Afterword by Paul Sullivan<\/h2>\r\nIf it wasn't enough,\u00a0reading through the book from the directors eyes, a few words from the art director, Paul Sullivan, really put the stamp on the end. It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time.

In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars!

YOU guys will be quizzing the hosts!\r\n\r\nWe need your help to make the questions!\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 1: Go back and listen to a few random episodes.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 2: Think of hard questions for us like, \"Who said it? Morgan, Mason or Chelsea?\" Or more general, like, \"What movie did Mason rate the lowest?\" etc. Make some really good ones that only a true Animation Addict would know! \u00a0It will be fun to see how much (or little) we can remember.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 3: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/rotosurvey\">Submit your questions!<\/a><\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe day before the episode is aired, we will also be posting the quiz for everyone to take.

Riley's emotions -- led by Joy (Amy Poehler) -- try to guide her through this difficult, life-changing event. However, the stress of the move brings Sadness (Phyllis Smith) to the forefront. When Joy and Sadness are inadvertently swept into the far reaches of Riley's mind, the only emotions left in Headquarters are Anger, Fear and Disgust.<\/blockquote>\r\n<em>Inside Out<\/em> hits theatres June 19!\r\n\r\nEdited by: Morgan Stradling","post_title":"[CONTEST] Win Tickets to See 'Inside Out' in Nashville, Raleigh or Charlotte!","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"contest-win-tickets-to-see-inside-out","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2015-06-14 12:14:48","post_modified_gmt":"2015-06-14 19:14:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=29755","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"3","filter":"raw"},{"ID":28333,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2015-05-14 06:03:07","post_date_gmt":"2015-05-14 13:03:07","post_content":"Mine is a\u00a0very tender hearted family. Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it. Yeah, I think I'm just going to blame Don.)<\/span>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Fox-and-the-houd-friends-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Fox and the houd friends Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" \/>\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vuE_tNaRjmw\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\r\n<h3>Let us know what movies make you cry and then vote on the next Top 10 video!<\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[polldaddy poll=8825000]<\/p>\r\nEdited by: Hannah Wilkes","post_title":"Top 10 Animated Movies that Make Me Cry Like a Baby!","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"top-10-animated-movies-that-make-me-cry-like-a-baby","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2015-10-30 13:30:34","post_modified_gmt":"2015-10-30 20:30:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=28333","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"28","filter":"raw"},{"ID":27028,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2015-03-10 08:30:46","post_date_gmt":"2015-03-10 15:30:46","post_content":"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Mason is flying solo as he interviews <strong>Christopher Knights<\/strong>, the voice of Private from <em><strong>Penguins of Madagascar<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:html -->\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?e=ADV7706497105&light=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:html -->\r\n<h3><strong>Highlights<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Chris\u00a0talks about his job at DreamWorks Animation as an editor and how he got into voice acting.<\/li>\r\n<li>Mason asks about<em>\u00a0<\/em>other<em> DreamWorks <\/em>films like <em>Shrek,\u00a0Trolls, Me and My Shadow,\u00a0<\/em>and<em> Mumbai Musical.\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\r\n<li>Chris also answers a question we had on a previous episode, <em>We're Back!

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds. More love letters to people like Picasso and even one of his favorite comedies, <em>Mean Girls.<\/em> The whole book is such a perfect melding of Mexican heritage, Spanish tradition, and just the right amount of Aztec flair.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screen-Shot-2014-12-08-at-10.38.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Book of life art book locations\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" \/>\r\n<h2>Afterword by Paul Sullivan<\/h2>\r\nIf it wasn't enough,\u00a0reading through the book from the directors eyes, a few words from the art director, Paul Sullivan, really put the stamp on the end. It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read.

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it. Yeah, I think I'm just going to blame Don.)<\/span>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Fox-and-the-houd-friends-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Fox and the houd friends Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" \/>\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vuE_tNaRjmw\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\r\n<h3>Let us know what movies make you cry and then vote on the next Top 10 video!<\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[polldaddy poll=8825000]<\/p>\r\nEdited by: Hannah Wilkes","post_title":"Top 10 Animated Movies that Make Me Cry Like a Baby!","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"top-10-animated-movies-that-make-me-cry-like-a-baby","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2015-10-30 13:30:34","post_modified_gmt":"2015-10-30 20:30:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=28333","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"28","filter":"raw"},{"ID":27028,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2015-03-10 08:30:46","post_date_gmt":"2015-03-10 15:30:46","post_content":"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Mason is flying solo as he interviews <strong>Christopher Knights<\/strong>, the voice of Private from <em><strong>Penguins of Madagascar<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:html -->\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?e=ADV7706497105&light=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:html -->\r\n<h3><strong>Highlights<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Chris\u00a0talks about his job at DreamWorks Animation as an editor and how he got into voice acting.<\/li>\r\n<li>Mason asks about<em>\u00a0<\/em>other<em> DreamWorks <\/em>films like <em>Shrek,\u00a0Trolls, Me and My Shadow,\u00a0<\/em>and<em> Mumbai Musical.\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\r\n<li>Chris also answers a question we had on a previous episode, <em>We're Back!

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique.

It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read. It's going to be more expensive than other art books but, if you\u00a0save up, you wont regret it.\r\n\r\nYou can buy it on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/LionKingArtBook\">Amazon<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/LionKingArtBookbd\">Book Depository<\/a>\r\n\r\nListen to our podcast on how much we love <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/60\"><em>The Lion King<\/em><\/a>!\r\n\r\n<iframe width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RQ1L-x06Pto\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>","post_title":"[BOOK REVIEW] The Art of 'The Lion King'","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"book-review-the-art-of-the-lion-king","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2014-12-11 20:23:34","post_modified_gmt":"2014-12-12 03:23:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=23559","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"1","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":23},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_3o3","class":"jnews_block_5"};</script> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-100774e elementor-widget elementor-widget-jnews_archive_pagination_elementor" data-id="100774e" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="jnews_archive_pagination_elementor.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="jeg_navigation jeg_pagination jeg_col_3o3 jnews_module_36485_4_69143d79e2b5e jeg_pagenav_1 jeg_aligncenter no_pageinfo"> <span class="page_info">Page 23 of 26</span> <a class="page_nav prev" data-id="22" href="https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/22/"><span class="navtext">Previous</span></a> <a class='page_number' data-id='1' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/'>1</a> <span class="page_number dots">…</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='22' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/22/'>22</a> <span class='page_number active'>23</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='24' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/24/'>24</a> <span class="page_number dots">…</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='26' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/26/'>26</a> <a class="page_nav next" data-id="24" href="https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/24/"><span class="navtext">Next</span></a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-ca773c7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer" data-id="ca773c7" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="spacer.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="elementor-spacer"> <div class="elementor-spacer-inner"></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> \n<ul><li>Mason Smith: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/masonsmtx\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.masonsmithportfolio.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Portfolio<\/a><\/li><li>Morgan Stradling: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/morganstradling\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.instagram.com\/morganstradling\">Instagram<\/a>, Snapchat: morganstradling<\/li><li>Chelsea Robson: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/chelsearobson\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chelsearobson.com\/\">Website<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n<!-- \/wp:list -->\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:spacer -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"align\":\"center\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>This post contains affiliate links.

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it.

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds. More love letters to people like Picasso and even one of his favorite comedies, <em>Mean Girls.<\/em> The whole book is such a perfect melding of Mexican heritage, Spanish tradition, and just the right amount of Aztec flair.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screen-Shot-2014-12-08-at-10.38.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Book of life art book locations\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" \/>\r\n<h2>Afterword by Paul Sullivan<\/h2>\r\nIf it wasn't enough,\u00a0reading through the book from the directors eyes, a few words from the art director, Paul Sullivan, really put the stamp on the end. It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read. It's going to be more expensive than other art books but, if you\u00a0save up, you wont regret it.\r\n\r\nYou can buy it on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/LionKingArtBook\">Amazon<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/LionKingArtBookbd\">Book Depository<\/a>\r\n\r\nListen to our podcast on how much we love <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/60\"><em>The Lion King<\/em><\/a>!\r\n\r\n<iframe width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RQ1L-x06Pto\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>","post_title":"[BOOK REVIEW] The Art of 'The Lion King'","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"book-review-the-art-of-the-lion-king","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2014-12-11 20:23:34","post_modified_gmt":"2014-12-12 03:23:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=23559","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"1","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":23},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_3o3","class":"jnews_block_5"};</script> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-100774e elementor-widget elementor-widget-jnews_archive_pagination_elementor" data-id="100774e" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="jnews_archive_pagination_elementor.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="jeg_navigation jeg_pagination jeg_col_3o3 jnews_module_36485_4_69143d79e2b5e jeg_pagenav_1 jeg_aligncenter no_pageinfo"> <span class="page_info">Page 23 of 26</span> <a class="page_nav prev" data-id="22" href="https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/22/"><span class="navtext">Previous</span></a> <a class='page_number' data-id='1' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/'>1</a> <span class="page_number dots">…</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='22' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/22/'>22</a> <span class='page_number active'>23</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='24' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/24/'>24</a> <span class="page_number dots">…</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='26' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/26/'>26</a> <a class="page_nav next" data-id="24" href="https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/24/"><span class="navtext">Next</span></a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-ca773c7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer" data-id="ca773c7" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="spacer.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="elementor-spacer"> <div class="elementor-spacer-inner"></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> \n<h3>Find The Hosts<\/h3>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n\n<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Mason Smith: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/masonsmtx\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.masonsmithportfolio.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Portfolio<\/a><\/li><li>Morgan Stradling: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/morganstradling\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.instagram.com\/morganstradling\">Instagram<\/a>, Snapchat: morganstradling<\/li><li>Chelsea Robson: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/chelsearobson\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chelsearobson.com\/\">Website<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n<!-- \/wp:list -->\n\n<!-- wp:spacer -->\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:spacer -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"align\":\"center\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>This post contains affiliate links.

YOU guys will be quizzing the hosts!\r\n\r\nWe need your help to make the questions!\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 1: Go back and listen to a few random episodes.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 2: Think of hard questions for us like, \"Who said it? Morgan, Mason or Chelsea?\" Or more general, like, \"What movie did Mason rate the lowest?\" etc. Make some really good ones that only a true Animation Addict would know! \u00a0It will be fun to see how much (or little) we can remember.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 3: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/rotosurvey\">Submit your questions!<\/a><\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe day before the episode is aired, we will also be posting the quiz for everyone to take.

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it. Yeah, I think I'm just going to blame Don.)<\/span>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Fox-and-the-houd-friends-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Fox and the houd friends Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" \/>\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vuE_tNaRjmw\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\r\n<h3>Let us know what movies make you cry and then vote on the next Top 10 video!<\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[polldaddy poll=8825000]<\/p>\r\nEdited by: Hannah Wilkes","post_title":"Top 10 Animated Movies that Make Me Cry Like a Baby!","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"top-10-animated-movies-that-make-me-cry-like-a-baby","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2015-10-30 13:30:34","post_modified_gmt":"2015-10-30 20:30:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=28333","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"28","filter":"raw"},{"ID":27028,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2015-03-10 08:30:46","post_date_gmt":"2015-03-10 15:30:46","post_content":"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Mason is flying solo as he interviews <strong>Christopher Knights<\/strong>, the voice of Private from <em><strong>Penguins of Madagascar<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:html -->\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?e=ADV7706497105&light=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:html -->\r\n<h3><strong>Highlights<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Chris\u00a0talks about his job at DreamWorks Animation as an editor and how he got into voice acting.<\/li>\r\n<li>Mason asks about<em>\u00a0<\/em>other<em> DreamWorks <\/em>films like <em>Shrek,\u00a0Trolls, Me and My Shadow,\u00a0<\/em>and<em> Mumbai Musical.\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\r\n<li>Chris also answers a question we had on a previous episode, <em>We're Back!

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds. More love letters to people like Picasso and even one of his favorite comedies, <em>Mean Girls.<\/em> The whole book is such a perfect melding of Mexican heritage, Spanish tradition, and just the right amount of Aztec flair.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screen-Shot-2014-12-08-at-10.38.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Book of life art book locations\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" \/>\r\n<h2>Afterword by Paul Sullivan<\/h2>\r\nIf it wasn't enough,\u00a0reading through the book from the directors eyes, a few words from the art director, Paul Sullivan, really put the stamp on the end. It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read. It's going to be more expensive than other art books but, if you\u00a0save up, you wont regret it.\r\n\r\nYou can buy it on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/LionKingArtBook\">Amazon<\/a> or <a

However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it. Yeah, I think I'm just going to blame Don.)<\/span>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Fox-and-the-houd-friends-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Fox and the houd friends Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" \/>\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vuE_tNaRjmw\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\r\n<h3>Let us know what movies make you cry and then vote on the next Top 10 video!<\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[polldaddy poll=8825000]<\/p>\r\nEdited by: Hannah Wilkes","post_title":"Top 10 Animated Movies that Make Me Cry Like a Baby!","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"top-10-animated-movies-that-make-me-cry-like-a-baby","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2015-10-30 13:30:34","post_modified_gmt":"2015-10-30 20:30:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=28333","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"28","filter":"raw"},{"ID":27028,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2015-03-10 08:30:46","post_date_gmt":"2015-03-10 15:30:46","post_content":"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Mason is flying solo as he interviews <strong>Christopher Knights<\/strong>, the voice of Private from <em><strong>Penguins of Madagascar<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:html -->\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?e=ADV7706497105&light=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:html -->\r\n<h3><strong>Highlights<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Chris\u00a0talks about his job at DreamWorks Animation as an editor and how he got into voice acting.<\/li>\r\n<li>Mason asks about<em>\u00a0<\/em>other<em> DreamWorks <\/em>films like <em>Shrek,\u00a0Trolls, Me and My Shadow,\u00a0<\/em>and<em> Mumbai Musical.\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\r\n<li>Chris also answers a question we had on a previous episode, <em>We're Back!

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds. More love letters to people like Picasso and even one of his favorite comedies, <em>Mean Girls.<\/em> The whole book is such a perfect melding of Mexican heritage, Spanish tradition, and just the right amount of Aztec flair.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screen-Shot-2014-12-08-at-10.38.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Book of life art book locations\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" \/>\r\n<h2>Afterword by Paul Sullivan<\/h2>\r\nIf it wasn't enough,\u00a0reading through the book from the directors eyes, a few words from the art director, Paul Sullivan, really put the stamp on the end. It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read. It's going to be more expensive than other art books but, if you\u00a0save up, you wont regret it.\r\n\r\nYou can buy it on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/LionKingArtBook\">Amazon<\/a> or <a

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it. Yeah, I think I'm just going to blame Don.)<\/span>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Fox-and-the-houd-friends-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Fox and the houd friends Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" \/>\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vuE_tNaRjmw\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\r\n<h3>Let us know what movies make you cry and then vote on the next Top 10 video!<\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[polldaddy poll=8825000]<\/p>\r\nEdited by: Hannah Wilkes","post_title":"Top 10 Animated Movies that Make Me Cry Like a Baby!","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"top-10-animated-movies-that-make-me-cry-like-a-baby","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2015-10-30 13:30:34","post_modified_gmt":"2015-10-30 20:30:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=28333","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"28","filter":"raw"},{"ID":27028,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2015-03-10 08:30:46","post_date_gmt":"2015-03-10 15:30:46","post_content":"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Mason is flying solo as he interviews <strong>Christopher Knights<\/strong>, the voice of Private from <em><strong>Penguins of Madagascar<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:html -->\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?e=ADV7706497105&light=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:html -->\r\n<h3><strong>Highlights<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Chris\u00a0talks about his job at DreamWorks Animation as an editor and how he got into voice acting.<\/li>\r\n<li>Mason asks about<em>\u00a0<\/em>other<em> DreamWorks <\/em>films like <em>Shrek,\u00a0Trolls, Me and My Shadow,\u00a0<\/em>and<em> Mumbai Musical.\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\r\n<li>Chris also answers a question we had on a previous episode, <em>We're Back!

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds. More love letters to people like Picasso and even one of his favorite comedies, <em>Mean Girls.<\/em> The whole book is such a perfect melding of Mexican heritage, Spanish tradition, and just the right amount of Aztec flair.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screen-Shot-2014-12-08-at-10.38.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Book of life art book locations\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" \/>\r\n<h2>Afterword by Paul Sullivan<\/h2>\r\nIf it wasn't enough,\u00a0reading through the book from the directors eyes, a few words from the art director, Paul Sullivan, really put the stamp on the end. It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read. It's going to be more expensive than other art books but, if you\u00a0save up, you wont regret it.\r\n\r\nYou can buy it on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/LionKingArtBook\">Amazon<\/a> or <a

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it. Yeah, I think I'm just going to blame Don.)<\/span>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Fox-and-the-houd-friends-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Fox and the houd friends Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" \/>\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vuE_tNaRjmw\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\r\n<h3>Let us know what movies make you cry and then vote on the next Top 10 video!<\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[polldaddy poll=8825000]<\/p>\r\nEdited by: Hannah Wilkes","post_title":"Top 10 Animated Movies that Make Me Cry Like a Baby!","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"top-10-animated-movies-that-make-me-cry-like-a-baby","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2015-10-30 13:30:34","post_modified_gmt":"2015-10-30 20:30:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=28333","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"28","filter":"raw"},{"ID":27028,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2015-03-10 08:30:46","post_date_gmt":"2015-03-10 15:30:46","post_content":"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Mason is flying solo as he interviews <strong>Christopher Knights<\/strong>, the voice of Private from <em><strong>Penguins of Madagascar<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:html -->\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?e=ADV7706497105&light=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:html -->\r\n<h3><strong>Highlights<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Chris\u00a0talks about his job at DreamWorks Animation as an editor and how he got into voice acting.<\/li>\r\n<li>Mason asks about<em>\u00a0<\/em>other<em> DreamWorks <\/em>films like <em>Shrek,\u00a0Trolls, Me and My Shadow,\u00a0<\/em>and<em> Mumbai Musical.\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\r\n<li>Chris also answers a question we had on a previous episode, <em>We're Back!

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique.

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read. It's going to be more expensive than other art books but, if you\u00a0save up, you wont regret it.\r\n\r\nYou can buy it on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/LionKingArtBook\">Amazon<\/a> or <a

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it. Yeah, I think I'm just going to blame Don.)<\/span>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Fox-and-the-houd-friends-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Fox and the houd friends Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" \/>\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vuE_tNaRjmw\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\r\n<h3>Let us know what movies make you cry and then vote on the next Top 10 video!<\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[polldaddy poll=8825000]<\/p>\r\nEdited by: Hannah Wilkes","post_title":"Top 10 Animated Movies that Make Me Cry Like a Baby!","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"top-10-animated-movies-that-make-me-cry-like-a-baby","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2015-10-30 13:30:34","post_modified_gmt":"2015-10-30 20:30:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=28333","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"28","filter":"raw"},{"ID":27028,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2015-03-10 08:30:46","post_date_gmt":"2015-03-10 15:30:46","post_content":"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Mason is flying solo as he interviews <strong>Christopher Knights<\/strong>, the voice of Private from <em><strong>Penguins of Madagascar<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:html -->\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?e=ADV7706497105&light=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:html -->\r\n<h3><strong>Highlights<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Chris\u00a0talks about his job at DreamWorks Animation as an editor and how he got into voice acting.<\/li>\r\n<li>Mason asks about<em>\u00a0<\/em>other<em> DreamWorks <\/em>films like <em>Shrek,\u00a0Trolls, Me and My Shadow,\u00a0<\/em>and<em> Mumbai Musical.\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\r\n<li>Chris also answers a question we had on a previous episode, <em>We're Back!

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds. More love letters to people like Picasso and even one of his favorite comedies, <em>Mean Girls.<\/em> The whole book is such a perfect melding of Mexican heritage, Spanish tradition, and just the right amount of Aztec flair.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screen-Shot-2014-12-08-at-10.38.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Book of life art book locations\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" \/>\r\n<h2>Afterword by Paul Sullivan<\/h2>\r\nIf it wasn't enough,\u00a0reading through the book from the directors eyes, a few words from the art director, Paul Sullivan, really put the stamp on the end. It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read. It's going to be more expensive than other art books but, if you\u00a0save up, you wont regret it.\r\n\r\nYou can buy it on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/LionKingArtBook\">Amazon<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/LionKingArtBookbd\">Book Depository<\/a>\r\n\r\nListen to our podcast on how much we love <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/60\"><em>The Lion King<\/em><\/a>!\r\n\r\n<iframe width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RQ1L-x06Pto\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>","post_title":"[BOOK REVIEW] The Art of 'The Lion King'","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"book-review-the-art-of-the-lion-king","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2014-12-11 20:23:34","post_modified_gmt":"2014-12-12 03:23:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=23559","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"1","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":23},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_3o3","class":"jnews_block_5"};</script> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-100774e elementor-widget elementor-widget-jnews_archive_pagination_elementor" data-id="100774e" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="jnews_archive_pagination_elementor.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="jeg_navigation jeg_pagination jeg_col_3o3 jnews_module_36485_4_69143d79e2b5e jeg_pagenav_1 jeg_aligncenter no_pageinfo"> <span class="page_info">Page 23 of 26</span> <a class="page_nav prev" data-id="22" href="https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/22/"><span class="navtext">Previous</span></a> <a class='page_number' data-id='1' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/'>1</a> <span class="page_number dots">…</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='22' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/22/'>22</a> <span class='page_number active'>23</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='24' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/24/'>24</a> <span class="page_number dots">…</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='26' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/26/'>26</a> <a class="page_nav next" data-id="24" href="https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/24/"><span class="navtext">Next</span></a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-ca773c7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer" data-id="ca773c7" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="spacer.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="elementor-spacer"> <div class="elementor-spacer-inner"></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> \n<p>Thanks you so much for listening and for your support!

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it.

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds. More love letters to people like Picasso and even one of his favorite comedies, <em>Mean Girls.<\/em> The whole book is such a perfect melding of Mexican heritage, Spanish tradition, and just the right amount of Aztec flair.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screen-Shot-2014-12-08-at-10.38.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Book of life art book locations\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" \/>\r\n<h2>Afterword by Paul Sullivan<\/h2>\r\nIf it wasn't enough,\u00a0reading through the book from the directors eyes, a few words from the art director, Paul Sullivan, really put the stamp on the end. It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read.

Morgan, Mason or Chelsea?\" Or more general, like, \"What movie did Mason rate the lowest?\" etc. Make some really good ones that only a true Animation Addict would know! \u00a0It will be fun to see how much (or little) we can remember.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 3: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/rotosurvey\">Submit your questions!<\/a><\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe day before the episode is aired, we will also be posting the quiz for everyone to take.

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it.

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds. More love letters to people like Picasso and even one of his favorite comedies, <em>Mean Girls.<\/em> The whole book is such a perfect melding of Mexican heritage, Spanish tradition, and just the right amount of Aztec flair.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screen-Shot-2014-12-08-at-10.38.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Book of life art book locations\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" \/>\r\n<h2>Afterword by Paul Sullivan<\/h2>\r\nIf it wasn't enough,\u00a0reading through the book from the directors eyes, a few words from the art director, Paul Sullivan, really put the stamp on the end. It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read.

Morgan, Mason or Chelsea?\" Or more general, like, \"What movie did Mason rate the lowest?\" etc. Make some really good ones that only a true Animation Addict would know! \u00a0It will be fun to see how much (or little) we can remember.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 3: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/rotosurvey\">Submit your questions!<\/a><\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe day before the episode is aired, we will also be posting the quiz for everyone to take.

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it.

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds. More love letters to people like Picasso and even one of his favorite comedies, <em>Mean Girls.<\/em> The whole book is such a perfect melding of Mexican heritage, Spanish tradition, and just the right amount of Aztec flair.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screen-Shot-2014-12-08-at-10.38.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Book of life art book locations\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" \/>\r\n<h2>Afterword by Paul Sullivan<\/h2>\r\nIf it wasn't enough,\u00a0reading through the book from the directors eyes, a few words from the art director, Paul Sullivan, really put the stamp on the end. It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read.

Morgan, Mason or Chelsea?\" Or more general, like, \"What movie did Mason rate the lowest?\" etc. Make some really good ones that only a true Animation Addict would know! \u00a0It will be fun to see how much (or little) we can remember.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 3: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/rotosurvey\">Submit your questions!<\/a><\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe day before the episode is aired, we will also be posting the quiz for everyone to take.

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it.

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds. More love letters to people like Picasso and even one of his favorite comedies, <em>Mean Girls.<\/em> The whole book is such a perfect melding of Mexican heritage, Spanish tradition, and just the right amount of Aztec flair.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screen-Shot-2014-12-08-at-10.38.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Book of life art book locations\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" \/>\r\n<h2>Afterword by Paul Sullivan<\/h2>\r\nIf it wasn't enough,\u00a0reading through the book from the directors eyes, a few words from the art director, Paul Sullivan, really put the stamp on the end. It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read.

YOU guys will be quizzing the hosts!\r\n\r\nWe need your help to make the questions!\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 1: Go back and listen to a few random episodes.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 2: Think of hard questions for us like, \"Who said it? Morgan, Mason or Chelsea?\" Or more general, like, \"What movie did Mason rate the lowest?\" etc. Make some really good ones that only a true Animation Addict would know! \u00a0It will be fun to see how much (or little) we can remember.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 3: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/rotosurvey\">Submit your questions!<\/a><\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe day before the episode is aired, we will also be posting the quiz for everyone to take.

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it.

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds. More love letters to people like Picasso and even one of his favorite comedies, <em>Mean Girls.<\/em> The whole book is such a perfect melding of Mexican heritage, Spanish tradition, and just the right amount of Aztec flair.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screen-Shot-2014-12-08-at-10.38.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Book of life art book locations\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" \/>\r\n<h2>Afterword by Paul Sullivan<\/h2>\r\nIf it wasn't enough,\u00a0reading through the book from the directors eyes, a few words from the art director, Paul Sullivan, really put the stamp on the end. It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars!

YOU guys will be quizzing the hosts!\r\n\r\nWe need your help to make the questions!\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 1: Go back and listen to a few random episodes.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 2: Think of hard questions for us like, \"Who said it? Morgan, Mason or Chelsea?\" Or more general, like, \"What movie did Mason rate the lowest?\" etc. Make some really good ones that only a true Animation Addict would know! \u00a0It will be fun to see how much (or little) we can remember.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 3: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/rotosurvey\">Submit your questions!<\/a><\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe day before the episode is aired, we will also be posting the quiz for everyone to take.

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it.

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds. More love letters to people like Picasso and even one of his favorite comedies, <em>Mean Girls.<\/em> The whole book is such a perfect melding of Mexican heritage, Spanish tradition, and just the right amount of Aztec flair.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screen-Shot-2014-12-08-at-10.38.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Book of life art book locations\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" \/>\r\n<h2>Afterword by Paul Sullivan<\/h2>\r\nIf it wasn't enough,\u00a0reading through the book from the directors eyes, a few words from the art director, Paul Sullivan, really put the stamp on the end. It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars!

YOU guys will be quizzing the hosts!\r\n\r\nWe need your help to make the questions!\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 1: Go back and listen to a few random episodes.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 2: Think of hard questions for us like, \"Who said it? Morgan, Mason or Chelsea?\" Or more general, like, \"What movie did Mason rate the lowest?\" etc. Make some really good ones that only a true Animation Addict would know! \u00a0It will be fun to see how much (or little) we can remember.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 3: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/rotosurvey\">Submit your questions!<\/a><\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe day before the episode is aired, we will also be posting the quiz for everyone to take.

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it.

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds. More love letters to people like Picasso and even one of his favorite comedies, <em>Mean Girls.<\/em> The whole book is such a perfect melding of Mexican heritage, Spanish tradition, and just the right amount of Aztec flair.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screen-Shot-2014-12-08-at-10.38.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Book of life art book locations\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" \/>\r\n<h2>Afterword by Paul Sullivan<\/h2>\r\nIf it wasn't enough,\u00a0reading through the book from the directors eyes, a few words from the art director, Paul Sullivan, really put the stamp on the end. It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read. It's going to be more expensive than other art books but, if you\u00a0save up, you wont regret it.\r\n\r\nYou can buy it on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/LionKingArtBook\">Amazon<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/LionKingArtBookbd\">Book Depository<\/a>\r\n\r\nListen to our podcast on how much we love <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/60\"><em>The Lion

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it. Yeah, I think I'm just going to blame Don.)<\/span>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Fox-and-the-houd-friends-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Fox and the houd friends Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" \/>\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vuE_tNaRjmw\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\r\n<h3>Let us know what movies make you cry and then vote on the next Top 10 video!<\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[polldaddy poll=8825000]<\/p>\r\nEdited by: Hannah Wilkes","post_title":"Top 10 Animated Movies that Make Me Cry Like a Baby!","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"top-10-animated-movies-that-make-me-cry-like-a-baby","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2015-10-30 13:30:34","post_modified_gmt":"2015-10-30 20:30:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=28333","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"28","filter":"raw"},{"ID":27028,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2015-03-10 08:30:46","post_date_gmt":"2015-03-10 15:30:46","post_content":"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Mason is flying solo as he interviews <strong>Christopher Knights<\/strong>, the voice of Private from <em><strong>Penguins of Madagascar<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:html -->\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?e=ADV7706497105&light=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:html -->\r\n<h3><strong>Highlights<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Chris\u00a0talks about his job at DreamWorks Animation as an editor and how he got into voice acting.<\/li>\r\n<li>Mason asks about<em>\u00a0<\/em>other<em> DreamWorks <\/em>films like <em>Shrek,\u00a0Trolls, Me and My Shadow,\u00a0<\/em>and<em> Mumbai Musical.\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\r\n<li>Chris also answers a question we had on a previous episode, <em>We're Back!

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds.

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read. It's going to be more expensive than other art books but, if you\u00a0save up, you wont regret it.\r\n\r\nYou can buy it on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/LionKingArtBook\">Amazon<\/a> or <a

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds.

It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read.

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds. More love letters to people like Picasso and even one of his favorite comedies, <em>Mean Girls.<\/em> The whole book is such a perfect melding of Mexican heritage, Spanish tradition, and just the right amount of Aztec flair.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screen-Shot-2014-12-08-at-10.38.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Book of life art book locations\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" \/>\r\n<h2>Afterword by Paul Sullivan<\/h2>\r\nIf it wasn't enough,\u00a0reading through the book from the directors eyes, a few words from the art director, Paul Sullivan, really put the stamp on the end. It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read.

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds. More love letters to people like Picasso and even one of his favorite comedies, <em>Mean Girls.<\/em> The whole book is such a perfect melding of Mexican heritage, Spanish tradition, and just the right amount of Aztec flair.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screen-Shot-2014-12-08-at-10.38.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Book of life art book locations\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" \/>\r\n<h2>Afterword by Paul Sullivan<\/h2>\r\nIf it wasn't enough,\u00a0reading through the book from the directors eyes, a few words from the art director, Paul Sullivan, really put the stamp on the end. It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home.

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it. Yeah, I think I'm just going to blame Don.)<\/span>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Fox-and-the-houd-friends-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Fox and the houd friends Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" \/>\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vuE_tNaRjmw\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\r\n<h3>Let us know what movies make you cry and then vote on the next Top 10 video!<\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[polldaddy poll=8825000]<\/p>\r\nEdited by: Hannah Wilkes","post_title":"Top 10 Animated Movies that Make Me Cry Like a Baby!","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"top-10-animated-movies-that-make-me-cry-like-a-baby","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2015-10-30 13:30:34","post_modified_gmt":"2015-10-30 20:30:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=28333","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"28","filter":"raw"},{"ID":27028,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2015-03-10 08:30:46","post_date_gmt":"2015-03-10 15:30:46","post_content":"\r\n<p>Mason is flying solo as he interviews <strong>Christopher Knights<\/strong>, the voice of Private from <em><strong>Penguins of Madagascar<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:html -->\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?e=ADV7706497105&light=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:html -->\r\n<h3><strong>Highlights<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Chris\u00a0talks about his job at DreamWorks Animation as an editor and how he got into voice acting.<\/li>\r\n<li>Mason asks about<em>\u00a0<\/em>other<em> DreamWorks <\/em>films like <em>Shrek,\u00a0Trolls, Me and My Shadow,\u00a0<\/em>and<em> Mumbai Musical.\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\r\n<li>Chris also answers a question we had on a previous episode, <em>We're Back!

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds. More love letters to people like Picasso and even one of his favorite comedies, <em>Mean Girls.<\/em> The whole book is such a perfect melding of Mexican heritage, Spanish tradition, and just the right amount of Aztec flair.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screen-Shot-2014-12-08-at-10.38.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Book of life art book locations\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" \/>\r\n<h2>Afterword by Paul Sullivan<\/h2>\r\nIf it wasn't enough,\u00a0reading through the book from the directors eyes, a few words from the art director, Paul Sullivan, really put the stamp on the end. It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read. It's going to be more expensive than other art books but, if you\u00a0save up, you wont regret it.\r\n\r\nYou can buy it on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/LionKingArtBook\">Amazon<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/LionKingArtBookbd\">Book Depository<\/a>\r\n\r\nListen to our podcast on how much we love <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/60\"><em>The Lion King<\/em><\/a>!\r\n\r\n<iframe width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RQ1L-x06Pto\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>","post_title":"[BOOK REVIEW] The Art of 'The Lion King'","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"book-review-the-art-of-the-lion-king","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2014-12-11 20:23:34","post_modified_gmt":"2014-12-12 03:23:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=23559","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"1","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":23},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_3o3","class":"jnews_block_5"};</script> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-100774e elementor-widget elementor-widget-jnews_archive_pagination_elementor" data-id="100774e" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="jnews_archive_pagination_elementor.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="jeg_navigation jeg_pagination jeg_col_3o3 jnews_module_36485_4_69143d79e2b5e jeg_pagenav_1 jeg_aligncenter no_pageinfo"> <span class="page_info">Page 23 of 26</span> <a class="page_nav prev" data-id="22" href="https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/22/"><span class="navtext">Previous</span></a> <a class='page_number' data-id='1' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/'>1</a> <span class="page_number dots">…</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='22' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/22/'>22</a> <span class='page_number active'>23</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='24' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/24/'>24</a> <span class="page_number dots">…</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='26' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/26/'>26</a> <a class="page_nav next" data-id="24" href="https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/24/"><span class="navtext">Next</span></a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-ca773c7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer" data-id="ca773c7" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="spacer.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="elementor-spacer"> <div class="elementor-spacer-inner"></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> \r\n<p>Morgan, Mason, and Chelsea are celebrating the 100th episode of the Animation Addicts Podcast by coming together for the first time ever!

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it. Yeah, I think I'm just going to blame Don.)<\/span>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Fox-and-the-houd-friends-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Fox and the houd friends Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" \/>\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vuE_tNaRjmw\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\r\n<h3>Let us know what movies make you cry and then vote on the next Top 10 video!<\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[polldaddy poll=8825000]<\/p>\r\nEdited by: Hannah Wilkes","post_title":"Top 10 Animated Movies that Make Me Cry Like a Baby!","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"top-10-animated-movies-that-make-me-cry-like-a-baby","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2015-10-30 13:30:34","post_modified_gmt":"2015-10-30 20:30:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=28333","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"28","filter":"raw"},{"ID":27028,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2015-03-10 08:30:46","post_date_gmt":"2015-03-10 15:30:46","post_content":"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Mason is flying solo as he interviews <strong>Christopher Knights<\/strong>, the voice of Private from <em><strong>Penguins of Madagascar<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:html -->\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?e=ADV7706497105&light=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:html -->\r\n<h3><strong>Highlights<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Chris\u00a0talks about his job at DreamWorks Animation as an editor and how he got into voice acting.<\/li>\r\n<li>Mason asks about<em>\u00a0<\/em>other<em> DreamWorks <\/em>films like <em>Shrek,\u00a0Trolls, Me and My Shadow,\u00a0<\/em>and<em> Mumbai Musical.\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\r\n<li>Chris also answers a question we had on a previous episode, <em>We're Back!

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds. More love letters to people like Picasso and even one of his favorite comedies, <em>Mean Girls.<\/em> The whole book is such a perfect melding of Mexican heritage, Spanish tradition, and just the right amount of Aztec flair.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screen-Shot-2014-12-08-at-10.38.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Book of life art book locations\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" \/>\r\n<h2>Afterword by Paul Sullivan<\/h2>\r\nIf it wasn't enough,\u00a0reading through the book from the directors eyes, a few words from the art director, Paul Sullivan, really put the stamp on the end. It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie.

The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read. It's going to be more expensive than other art books but, if you\u00a0save up, you wont regret it.\r\n\r\nYou can buy it on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/LionKingArtBook\">Amazon<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/LionKingArtBookbd\">Book Depository<\/a>\r\n\r\nListen to our podcast on how much we love <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/60\"><em>The Lion King<\/em><\/a>!\r\n\r\n<iframe width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RQ1L-x06Pto\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>","post_title":"[BOOK REVIEW] The Art of 'The Lion King'","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"book-review-the-art-of-the-lion-king","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2014-12-11 20:23:34","post_modified_gmt":"2014-12-12 03:23:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=23559","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"1","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":23},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_3o3","class":"jnews_block_5"};</script> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-100774e elementor-widget elementor-widget-jnews_archive_pagination_elementor" data-id="100774e" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="jnews_archive_pagination_elementor.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="jeg_navigation jeg_pagination jeg_col_3o3 jnews_module_36485_4_69143d79e2b5e jeg_pagenav_1 jeg_aligncenter no_pageinfo"> <span class="page_info">Page 23 of 26</span> <a class="page_nav prev" data-id="22" href="https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/22/"><span class="navtext">Previous</span></a> <a class='page_number' data-id='1' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/'>1</a> <span class="page_number dots">…</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='22' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/22/'>22</a> <span class='page_number active'>23</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='24' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/24/'>24</a> <span class="page_number dots">…</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='26' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/26/'>26</a> <a class="page_nav next" data-id="24" href="https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/24/"><span class="navtext">Next</span></a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-ca773c7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer" data-id="ca773c7" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="spacer.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="elementor-spacer"> <div class="elementor-spacer-inner"></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> \n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>This post contains affiliate links.

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it. Yeah, I think I'm just going to blame Don.)<\/span>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Fox-and-the-houd-friends-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Fox and the houd friends Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" \/>\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vuE_tNaRjmw\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\r\n<h3>Let us know what movies make you cry and then vote on the next Top 10 video!<\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[polldaddy poll=8825000]<\/p>\r\nEdited by: Hannah Wilkes","post_title":"Top 10 Animated Movies that Make Me Cry Like a Baby!","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"top-10-animated-movies-that-make-me-cry-like-a-baby","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2015-10-30 13:30:34","post_modified_gmt":"2015-10-30 20:30:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=28333","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"28","filter":"raw"},{"ID":27028,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2015-03-10 08:30:46","post_date_gmt":"2015-03-10 15:30:46","post_content":"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Mason is flying solo as he interviews <strong>Christopher Knights<\/strong>, the voice of Private from <em><strong>Penguins of Madagascar<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:html -->\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?e=ADV7706497105&light=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:html -->\r\n<h3><strong>Highlights<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Chris\u00a0talks about his job at DreamWorks Animation as an editor and how he got into voice acting.<\/li>\r\n<li>Mason asks about<em>\u00a0<\/em>other<em> DreamWorks <\/em>films like <em>Shrek,\u00a0Trolls, Me and My Shadow,\u00a0<\/em>and<em> Mumbai Musical.\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\r\n<li>Chris also answers a question we had on a previous episode, <em>We're Back!

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself.

Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds. More love letters to people like Picasso and even one of his favorite comedies, <em>Mean Girls.<\/em> The whole book is such a perfect melding of Mexican heritage, Spanish tradition, and just the right amount of Aztec flair.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screen-Shot-2014-12-08-at-10.38.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Book of life art book locations\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" \/>\r\n<h2>Afterword by Paul Sullivan<\/h2>\r\nIf it wasn't enough,\u00a0reading through the book from the directors eyes, a few words from the art director, Paul Sullivan, really put the stamp on the end. It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read. It's going to be more expensive than other art books but, if you\u00a0save up, you wont regret it.\r\n\r\nYou can buy it on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/LionKingArtBook\">Amazon<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/LionKingArtBookbd\">Book Depository<\/a>\r\n\r\nListen to our podcast on how much we love <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/60\"><em>The Lion King<\/em><\/a>!\r\n\r\n<iframe width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RQ1L-x06Pto\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>","post_title":"[BOOK REVIEW] The Art of 'The Lion King'","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"book-review-the-art-of-the-lion-king","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2014-12-11 20:23:34","post_modified_gmt":"2014-12-12 03:23:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=23559","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"1","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":23},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_3o3","class":"jnews_block_5"};</script> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-100774e elementor-widget elementor-widget-jnews_archive_pagination_elementor" data-id="100774e" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="jnews_archive_pagination_elementor.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="jeg_navigation jeg_pagination jeg_col_3o3 jnews_module_36485_4_69143d79e2b5e jeg_pagenav_1 jeg_aligncenter no_pageinfo"> <span class="page_info">Page 23 of 26</span> <a class="page_nav prev" data-id="22" href="https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/22/"><span class="navtext">Previous</span></a> <a class='page_number' data-id='1' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/'>1</a> <span class="page_number dots">…</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='22' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/22/'>22</a> <span class='page_number active'>23</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='24' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/24/'>24</a> <span class="page_number dots">…</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='26' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/26/'>26</a> <a class="page_nav next" data-id="24" href="https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/24/"><span class="navtext">Next</span></a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-ca773c7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer" data-id="ca773c7" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="spacer.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="elementor-spacer"> <div class="elementor-spacer-inner"></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> \n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:spacer -->\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>This post contains affiliate links.

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it. Yeah, I think I'm just going to blame Don.)<\/span>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Fox-and-the-houd-friends-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Fox and the houd friends Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" \/>\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vuE_tNaRjmw\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\r\n<h3>Let us know what movies make you cry and then vote on the next Top 10 video!<\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[polldaddy poll=8825000]<\/p>\r\nEdited by: Hannah Wilkes","post_title":"Top 10 Animated Movies that Make Me Cry Like a Baby!","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"top-10-animated-movies-that-make-me-cry-like-a-baby","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2015-10-30 13:30:34","post_modified_gmt":"2015-10-30 20:30:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=28333","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"28","filter":"raw"},{"ID":27028,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2015-03-10 08:30:46","post_date_gmt":"2015-03-10 15:30:46","post_content":"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Mason is flying solo as he interviews <strong>Christopher Knights<\/strong>, the voice of Private from <em><strong>Penguins of Madagascar<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:html -->\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?e=ADV7706497105&light=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:html -->\r\n<h3><strong>Highlights<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Chris\u00a0talks about his job at DreamWorks Animation as an editor and how he got into voice acting.<\/li>\r\n<li>Mason asks about<em>\u00a0<\/em>other<em> DreamWorks <\/em>films like <em>Shrek,\u00a0Trolls, Me and My Shadow,\u00a0<\/em>and<em> Mumbai Musical.\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\r\n<li>Chris also answers a question we had on a previous episode, <em>We're Back!

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds. More love letters to people like Picasso and even one of his favorite comedies, <em>Mean Girls.<\/em> The whole book is such a perfect melding of Mexican heritage, Spanish tradition, and just the right amount of Aztec flair.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screen-Shot-2014-12-08-at-10.38.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Book of life art book locations\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" \/>\r\n<h2>Afterword by Paul Sullivan<\/h2>\r\nIf it wasn't enough,\u00a0reading through the book from the directors eyes, a few words from the art director, Paul Sullivan, really put the stamp on the end. It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read.

YOU guys will be quizzing the hosts!\r\n\r\nWe need your help to make the questions!\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 1: Go back and listen to a few random episodes.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 2: Think of hard questions for us like, \"Who said it? Morgan, Mason or Chelsea?\" Or more general, like, \"What movie did Mason rate the lowest?\" etc. Make some really good ones that only a true Animation Addict would know! \u00a0It will be fun to see how much (or little) we can remember.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 3: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/rotosurvey\">Submit your questions!<\/a><\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe day before the episode is aired, we will also be posting the quiz for everyone to take. Then you and everyone else can see how well they know the Animation Addicts Podcast and the highest scores will be announced on the air with the grand prize of a FREE Limited Edition Rotoscopers T-shirt!\r\n\r\nEdited by: Hannah Wilkes","post_title":"We Need Your Help for the 'Best of 2015' Show!","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"we-need-your-help-for-the-best-of-2015-show","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2015-12-23 00:23:13","post_modified_gmt":"2015-12-23 07:23:13","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=35385","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":31880,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2015-07-31 07:18:44","post_date_gmt":"2015-07-31 14:18:44","post_content":"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Morgan, Mason, and Chelsea are celebrating the 100th episode of the Animation Addicts Podcast by coming together for the first time ever!

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it.

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds. More love letters to people like Picasso and even one of his favorite comedies, <em>Mean Girls.<\/em> The whole book is such a perfect melding of Mexican heritage, Spanish tradition, and just the right amount of Aztec flair.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screen-Shot-2014-12-08-at-10.38.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Book of life art book locations\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" \/>\r\n<h2>Afterword by Paul Sullivan<\/h2>\r\nIf it wasn't enough,\u00a0reading through the book from the directors eyes, a few words from the art director, Paul Sullivan, really put the stamp on the end. It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read. It's going to be more expensive than other art books but, if you\u00a0save up, you wont regret it.\r\n\r\nYou can buy it on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/LionKingArtBook\">Amazon<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/LionKingArtBookbd\">Book Depository<\/a>\r\n\r\nListen to our podcast on how much we love <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/60\"><em>The Lion King<\/em><\/a>!\r\n\r\n<iframe width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RQ1L-x06Pto\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>","post_title":"[BOOK REVIEW] The Art of 'The Lion King'","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"book-review-the-art-of-the-lion-king","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2014-12-11 20:23:34","post_modified_gmt":"2014-12-12 03:23:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=23559","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"1","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":23},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_3o3","class":"jnews_block_5"};</script> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-100774e elementor-widget elementor-widget-jnews_archive_pagination_elementor" data-id="100774e" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="jnews_archive_pagination_elementor.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="jeg_navigation jeg_pagination jeg_col_3o3 jnews_module_36485_4_69143d79e2b5e jeg_pagenav_1 jeg_aligncenter no_pageinfo"> <span class="page_info">Page 23 of 26</span> <a class="page_nav prev" data-id="22" href="https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/22/"><span class="navtext">Previous</span></a> <a class='page_number' data-id='1' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/'>1</a> <span class="page_number dots">…</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='22' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/22/'>22</a> <span class='page_number active'>23</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='24' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/24/'>24</a> <span class="page_number dots">…</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='26' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/26/'>26</a> <a class="page_nav next" data-id="24" href="https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/24/"><span class="navtext">Next</span></a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-ca773c7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer" data-id="ca773c7" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="spacer.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="elementor-spacer"> <div class="elementor-spacer-inner"></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> \n<h3><strong>Find The Hosts<\/strong><\/h3>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n\n<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Mason Smith: <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.masonsmithportfolio.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Portfolio<\/a><\/li><li>Morgan Stradling: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/morganstradling\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.instagram.com\/morganstradling\">Instagram<\/a><\/li><li>Chelsea Robson: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/chelsearobson\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chelsearobson.com\/\">Website<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n<!-- \/wp:list -->\n\n<!-- wp:spacer -->\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:spacer -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"align\":\"center\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>This post contains affiliate links.

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it. Yeah, I think I'm just going to blame Don.)<\/span>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Fox-and-the-houd-friends-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Fox and the houd friends Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" \/>\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vuE_tNaRjmw\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\r\n<h3>Let us know what movies make you cry and then vote on the next Top 10 video!<\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[polldaddy poll=8825000]<\/p>\r\nEdited by: Hannah Wilkes","post_title":"Top 10 Animated Movies that Make Me Cry Like a Baby!","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"top-10-animated-movies-that-make-me-cry-like-a-baby","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2015-10-30 13:30:34","post_modified_gmt":"2015-10-30 20:30:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=28333","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"28","filter":"raw"},{"ID":27028,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2015-03-10 08:30:46","post_date_gmt":"2015-03-10 15:30:46","post_content":"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Mason is flying solo as he interviews <strong>Christopher Knights<\/strong>, the voice of Private from <em><strong>Penguins of Madagascar<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:html -->\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?e=ADV7706497105&light=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:html -->\r\n<h3><strong>Highlights<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Chris\u00a0talks about his job at DreamWorks Animation as an editor and how he got into voice acting.<\/li>\r\n<li>Mason asks about<em>\u00a0<\/em>other<em> DreamWorks <\/em>films like <em>Shrek,\u00a0Trolls, Me and My Shadow,\u00a0<\/em>and<em> Mumbai Musical.\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\r\n<li>Chris also answers a question we had on a previous episode, <em>We're Back!

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds.

It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read. It's going to be more expensive than other art books but, if you\u00a0save up, you wont regret it.\r\n\r\nYou can buy it on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/LionKingArtBook\">Amazon<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/LionKingArtBookbd\">Book Depository<\/a>\r\n\r\nListen to our podcast on how much we love <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/60\"><em>The Lion King<\/em><\/a>!\r\n\r\n<iframe width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RQ1L-x06Pto\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>","post_title":"[BOOK REVIEW] The Art of 'The Lion King'","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"book-review-the-art-of-the-lion-king","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2014-12-11 20:23:34","post_modified_gmt":"2014-12-12 03:23:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=23559","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"1","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":23},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_3o3","class":"jnews_block_5"};</script> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-100774e elementor-widget elementor-widget-jnews_archive_pagination_elementor" data-id="100774e" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="jnews_archive_pagination_elementor.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="jeg_navigation jeg_pagination jeg_col_3o3 jnews_module_36485_4_69143d79e2b5e jeg_pagenav_1 jeg_aligncenter no_pageinfo"> <span class="page_info">Page 23 of 26</span> <a class="page_nav prev" data-id="22" href="https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/22/"><span class="navtext">Previous</span></a> <a class='page_number' data-id='1' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/'>1</a> <span class="page_number dots">…</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='22' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/22/'>22</a> <span class='page_number active'>23</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='24' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/24/'>24</a> <span class="page_number dots">…</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='26' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/26/'>26</a> <a class="page_nav next" data-id="24" href="https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/24/"><span class="navtext">Next</span></a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-ca773c7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer" data-id="ca773c7" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="spacer.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="elementor-spacer"> <div class="elementor-spacer-inner"></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> \n<ul><li>Find us on the web:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/\">Rotoscopers.com<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/rotoscopers\">Twitter<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebok.com\/rotoscopers\">Facebook<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/therotoscopers\">YouTube<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.therotoscopers.tumblr.com\/\">Tumblr<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.instagram.com\/therotoscopers\">Instagram<\/a><\/li><li>Voicemail:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/voicemail\">rotoscopers.com\/voicemail<\/a>\u00a0or call\u00a0<strong>(406) 646-6575<\/strong>.<\/li><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/rotoscopers\" target=\"_blank\">Patreon<\/a><\/li><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/newsletter\" target=\"_blank\">Email newsletter<\/a><\/li><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/store\" target=\"_blank\">Store<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.audibletrial.com\/therotoscopers\">Audible<\/a><\/li><li>Shop on Amazon: <ul><li>USA: <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/amazon\" target=\"_blank\">rotoscopers.com\/amazon<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n<!-- \/wp:list -->\n\n\n<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Find The Hosts<\/strong><\/h3>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:list -->\n<ul><li>Mason Smith: <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.masonsmithportfolio.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Portfolio<\/a><\/li><li>Morgan Stradling: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/morganstradling\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.instagram.com\/morganstradling\">Instagram<\/a><\/li><li>Chelsea Robson: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/chelsearobson\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chelsearobson.com\/\">Website<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n<!-- \/wp:list -->\n\n<!-- wp:spacer -->\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:spacer -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"align\":\"center\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>This post contains affiliate links.

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it. Yeah, I think I'm just going to blame Don.)<\/span>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Fox-and-the-houd-friends-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Fox and the houd friends Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" \/>\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vuE_tNaRjmw\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\r\n<h3>Let us know what movies make you cry and then vote on the next Top 10 video!<\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[polldaddy poll=8825000]<\/p>\r\nEdited by: Hannah Wilkes","post_title":"Top 10 Animated Movies that Make Me Cry Like a Baby!","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"top-10-animated-movies-that-make-me-cry-like-a-baby","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2015-10-30 13:30:34","post_modified_gmt":"2015-10-30 20:30:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=28333","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"28","filter":"raw"},{"ID":27028,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2015-03-10 08:30:46","post_date_gmt":"2015-03-10 15:30:46","post_content":"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Mason is flying solo as he interviews <strong>Christopher Knights<\/strong>, the voice of Private from <em><strong>Penguins of Madagascar<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:html -->\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?e=ADV7706497105&light=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:html -->\r\n<h3><strong>Highlights<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Chris\u00a0talks about his job at DreamWorks Animation as an editor and how he got into voice acting.<\/li>\r\n<li>Mason asks about<em>\u00a0<\/em>other<em> DreamWorks <\/em>films like <em>Shrek,\u00a0Trolls, Me and My Shadow,\u00a0<\/em>and<em> Mumbai Musical.\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\r\n<li>Chris also answers a question we had on a previous episode, <em>We're Back!

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds. More love letters to people like Picasso and even one of his favorite comedies, <em>Mean Girls.<\/em> The whole book is such a perfect melding of Mexican heritage, Spanish tradition, and just the right amount of Aztec flair.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screen-Shot-2014-12-08-at-10.38.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Book of life art book locations\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" \/>\r\n<h2>Afterword by Paul Sullivan<\/h2>\r\nIf it wasn't enough,\u00a0reading through the book from the directors eyes, a few words from the art director, Paul Sullivan, really put the stamp on the end. It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read. It's going to be more expensive than other art books but, if you\u00a0save up, you wont regret it.\r\n\r\nYou can buy it on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/LionKingArtBook\">Amazon<\/a> or <a

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it. Yeah, I think I'm just going to blame Don.)<\/span>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Fox-and-the-houd-friends-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Fox and the houd friends Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" \/>\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vuE_tNaRjmw\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\r\n<h3>Let us know what movies make you cry and then vote on the next Top 10 video!<\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[polldaddy poll=8825000]<\/p>\r\nEdited by: Hannah Wilkes","post_title":"Top 10 Animated Movies that Make Me Cry Like a Baby!","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"top-10-animated-movies-that-make-me-cry-like-a-baby","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2015-10-30 13:30:34","post_modified_gmt":"2015-10-30 20:30:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=28333","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"28","filter":"raw"},{"ID":27028,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2015-03-10 08:30:46","post_date_gmt":"2015-03-10 15:30:46","post_content":"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Mason is flying solo as he interviews <strong>Christopher Knights<\/strong>, the voice of Private from <em><strong>Penguins of Madagascar<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:html -->\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?e=ADV7706497105&light=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:html -->\r\n<h3><strong>Highlights<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Chris\u00a0talks about his job at DreamWorks Animation as an editor and how he got into voice acting.<\/li>\r\n<li>Mason asks about<em>\u00a0<\/em>other<em> DreamWorks <\/em>films like <em>Shrek,\u00a0Trolls, Me and My Shadow,\u00a0<\/em>and<em> Mumbai Musical.\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\r\n<li>Chris also answers a question we had on a previous episode, <em>We're Back!

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds. More love letters to people like Picasso and even one of his favorite comedies, <em>Mean Girls.<\/em> The whole book is such a perfect melding of Mexican heritage, Spanish tradition, and just the right amount of Aztec flair.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screen-Shot-2014-12-08-at-10.38.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Book of life art book locations\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" \/>\r\n<h2>Afterword by Paul Sullivan<\/h2>\r\nIf it wasn't enough,\u00a0reading through the book from the directors eyes, a few words from the art director, Paul Sullivan, really put the stamp on the end. It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read. It's going to be more expensive than other art books but, if you\u00a0save up, you wont regret it.\r\n\r\nYou can buy it on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/LionKingArtBook\">Amazon<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/LionKingArtBookbd\">Book Depository<\/a>\r\n\r\nListen to our podcast on how much we love <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/60\"><em>The Lion King<\/em><\/a>!\r\n\r\n<iframe width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RQ1L-x06Pto\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>","post_title":"[BOOK REVIEW] The Art of 'The Lion King'","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"book-review-the-art-of-the-lion-king","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2014-12-11 20:23:34","post_modified_gmt":"2014-12-12 03:23:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=23559","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"1","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":23},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_3o3","class":"jnews_block_5"};</script> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-100774e elementor-widget elementor-widget-jnews_archive_pagination_elementor" data-id="100774e" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="jnews_archive_pagination_elementor.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="jeg_navigation jeg_pagination jeg_col_3o3 jnews_module_36485_4_69143d79e2b5e jeg_pagenav_1 jeg_aligncenter no_pageinfo"> <span class="page_info">Page 23 of 26</span> <a class="page_nav prev" data-id="22" href="https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/22/"><span class="navtext">Previous</span></a> <a class='page_number' data-id='1' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/'>1</a> <span class="page_number dots">…</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='22' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/22/'>22</a> <span class='page_number active'>23</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='24' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/24/'>24</a> <span class="page_number dots">…</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='26' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/26/'>26</a> <a class="page_nav next" data-id="24" href="https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/24/"><span class="navtext">Next</span></a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-ca773c7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer" data-id="ca773c7" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="spacer.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="elementor-spacer"> <div class="elementor-spacer-inner"></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> \n<ul><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/goo.gl\/forms\/oMevQtiyed\" target=\"_blank\">Compete in RotoTrivia!<\/a> \u2013 Top 3 Scores will win a free T-Shirt!

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it. Yeah, I think I'm just going to blame Don.)<\/span>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Fox-and-the-houd-friends-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Fox and the houd friends Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" \/>\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vuE_tNaRjmw\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\r\n<h3>Let us know what movies make you cry and then vote on the next Top 10 video!<\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[polldaddy poll=8825000]<\/p>\r\nEdited by: Hannah Wilkes","post_title":"Top 10 Animated Movies that Make Me Cry Like a Baby!","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"top-10-animated-movies-that-make-me-cry-like-a-baby","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2015-10-30 13:30:34","post_modified_gmt":"2015-10-30 20:30:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=28333","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"28","filter":"raw"},{"ID":27028,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2015-03-10 08:30:46","post_date_gmt":"2015-03-10 15:30:46","post_content":"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Mason is flying solo as he interviews <strong>Christopher Knights<\/strong>, the voice of Private from <em><strong>Penguins of Madagascar<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:html -->\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?e=ADV7706497105&light=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:html -->\r\n<h3><strong>Highlights<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Chris\u00a0talks about his job at DreamWorks Animation as an editor and how he got into voice acting.<\/li>\r\n<li>Mason asks about<em>\u00a0<\/em>other<em> DreamWorks <\/em>films like <em>Shrek,\u00a0Trolls, Me and My Shadow,\u00a0<\/em>and<em> Mumbai Musical.\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\r\n<li>Chris also answers a question we had on a previous episode, <em>We're Back!

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds. More love letters to people like Picasso and even one of his favorite comedies, <em>Mean Girls.<\/em> The whole book is such a perfect melding of Mexican heritage, Spanish tradition, and just the right amount of Aztec flair.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screen-Shot-2014-12-08-at-10.38.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Book of life art book locations\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" \/>\r\n<h2>Afterword by Paul Sullivan<\/h2>\r\nIf it wasn't enough,\u00a0reading through the book from the directors eyes, a few words from the art director, Paul Sullivan, really put the stamp on the end. It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read. It's going to be more expensive than other art books but, if you\u00a0save up, you wont regret it.\r\n\r\nYou can buy it on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/LionKingArtBook\">Amazon<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/LionKingArtBookbd\">Book Depository<\/a>\r\n\r\nListen to our podcast on how much we love <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/60\"><em>The Lion King<\/em><\/a>!\r\n\r\n<iframe width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RQ1L-x06Pto\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>","post_title":"[BOOK REVIEW] The Art of 'The Lion King'","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"book-review-the-art-of-the-lion-king","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2014-12-11 20:23:34","post_modified_gmt":"2014-12-12 03:23:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=23559","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"1","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":23},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_3o3","class":"jnews_block_5"};</script> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-100774e elementor-widget elementor-widget-jnews_archive_pagination_elementor" data-id="100774e" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="jnews_archive_pagination_elementor.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="jeg_navigation jeg_pagination jeg_col_3o3 jnews_module_36485_4_69143d79e2b5e jeg_pagenav_1 jeg_aligncenter no_pageinfo"> <span class="page_info">Page 23 of 26</span> <a class="page_nav prev" data-id="22" href="https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/22/"><span class="navtext">Previous</span></a> <a class='page_number' data-id='1' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/'>1</a> <span class="page_number dots">…</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='22' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/22/'>22</a> <span class='page_number active'>23</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='24' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/24/'>24</a> <span class="page_number dots">…</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='26' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/26/'>26</a> <a class="page_nav next" data-id="24" href="https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/24/"><span class="navtext">Next</span></a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-ca773c7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer" data-id="ca773c7" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="spacer.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="elementor-spacer"> <div class="elementor-spacer-inner"></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> \n<h3>Links<\/h3>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n\n<ul class="wp-block-list"><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/goo.gl\/forms\/oMevQtiyed\" target=\"_blank\">Compete in RotoTrivia!<\/a> \u2013 Top 3 Scores will win a free T-Shirt!

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it. Yeah, I think I'm just going to blame Don.)<\/span>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Fox-and-the-houd-friends-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Fox and the houd friends Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" \/>\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vuE_tNaRjmw\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\r\n<h3>Let us know what movies make you cry and then vote on the next Top 10 video!<\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[polldaddy poll=8825000]<\/p>\r\nEdited by: Hannah Wilkes","post_title":"Top 10 Animated Movies that Make Me Cry Like a Baby!","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"top-10-animated-movies-that-make-me-cry-like-a-baby","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2015-10-30 13:30:34","post_modified_gmt":"2015-10-30 20:30:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=28333","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"28","filter":"raw"},{"ID":27028,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2015-03-10 08:30:46","post_date_gmt":"2015-03-10 15:30:46","post_content":"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Mason is flying solo as he interviews <strong>Christopher Knights<\/strong>, the voice of Private from <em><strong>Penguins of Madagascar<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:html -->\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?e=ADV7706497105&light=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:html -->\r\n<h3><strong>Highlights<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Chris\u00a0talks about his job at DreamWorks Animation as an editor and how he got into voice acting.<\/li>\r\n<li>Mason asks about<em>\u00a0<\/em>other<em> DreamWorks <\/em>films like <em>Shrek,\u00a0Trolls, Me and My Shadow,\u00a0<\/em>and<em> Mumbai Musical.\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\r\n<li>Chris also answers a question we had on a previous episode, <em>We're Back!

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique.

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read.

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it. Yeah, I think I'm just going to blame Don.)<\/span>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Fox-and-the-houd-friends-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Fox and the houd friends Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" \/>\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vuE_tNaRjmw\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\r\n<h3>Let us know what movies make you cry and then vote on the next Top 10 video!<\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[polldaddy poll=8825000]<\/p>\r\nEdited by: Hannah Wilkes","post_title":"Top 10 Animated Movies that Make Me Cry Like a Baby!","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"top-10-animated-movies-that-make-me-cry-like-a-baby","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2015-10-30 13:30:34","post_modified_gmt":"2015-10-30 20:30:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=28333","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"28","filter":"raw"},{"ID":27028,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2015-03-10 08:30:46","post_date_gmt":"2015-03-10 15:30:46","post_content":"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Mason is flying solo as he interviews <strong>Christopher Knights<\/strong>, the voice of Private from <em><strong>Penguins of Madagascar<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:html -->\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?e=ADV7706497105&light=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:html -->\r\n<h3><strong>Highlights<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Chris\u00a0talks about his job at DreamWorks Animation as an editor and how he got into voice acting.<\/li>\r\n<li>Mason asks about<em>\u00a0<\/em>other<em> DreamWorks <\/em>films like <em>Shrek,\u00a0Trolls, Me and My Shadow,\u00a0<\/em>and<em> Mumbai Musical.\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\r\n<li>Chris also answers a question we had on a previous episode, <em>We're Back!

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds. More love letters to people like Picasso and even one of his favorite comedies, <em>Mean Girls.<\/em> The whole book is such a perfect melding of Mexican heritage, Spanish tradition, and just the right amount of Aztec flair.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screen-Shot-2014-12-08-at-10.38.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Book of life art book locations\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" \/>\r\n<h2>Afterword by Paul Sullivan<\/h2>\r\nIf it wasn't enough,\u00a0reading through the book from the directors eyes, a few words from the art director, Paul Sullivan, really put the stamp on the end. It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home.

However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it. Yeah, I think I'm just going to blame Don.)<\/span>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Fox-and-the-houd-friends-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Fox and the houd friends Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" \/>\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vuE_tNaRjmw\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\r\n<h3>Let us know what movies make you cry and then vote on the next Top 10 video!<\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[polldaddy poll=8825000]<\/p>\r\nEdited by: Hannah Wilkes","post_title":"Top 10 Animated Movies that Make Me Cry Like a Baby!","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"top-10-animated-movies-that-make-me-cry-like-a-baby","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2015-10-30 13:30:34","post_modified_gmt":"2015-10-30 20:30:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=28333","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"28","filter":"raw"},{"ID":27028,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2015-03-10 08:30:46","post_date_gmt":"2015-03-10 15:30:46","post_content":"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Mason is flying solo as he interviews <strong>Christopher Knights<\/strong>, the voice of Private from <em><strong>Penguins of Madagascar<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:html -->\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?e=ADV7706497105&light=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:html -->\r\n<h3><strong>Highlights<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Chris\u00a0talks about his job at DreamWorks Animation as an editor and how he got into voice acting.<\/li>\r\n<li>Mason asks about<em>\u00a0<\/em>other<em> DreamWorks <\/em>films like <em>Shrek,\u00a0Trolls, Me and My Shadow,\u00a0<\/em>and<em> Mumbai Musical.\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\r\n<li>Chris also answers a question we had on a previous episode, <em>We're Back!

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds. More love letters to people like Picasso and even one of his favorite comedies, <em>Mean Girls.<\/em> The whole book is such a perfect melding of Mexican heritage, Spanish tradition, and just the right amount of Aztec flair.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screen-Shot-2014-12-08-at-10.38.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Book of life art book locations\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" \/>\r\n<h2>Afterword by Paul Sullivan<\/h2>\r\nIf it wasn't enough,\u00a0reading through the book from the directors eyes, a few words from the art director, Paul Sullivan, really put the stamp on the end. It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read.

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it. Yeah, I think I'm just going to blame Don.)<\/span>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Fox-and-the-houd-friends-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Fox and the houd friends Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" \/>\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vuE_tNaRjmw\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\r\n<h3>Let us know what movies make you cry and then vote on the next Top 10 video!<\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[polldaddy poll=8825000]<\/p>\r\nEdited by: Hannah Wilkes","post_title":"Top 10 Animated Movies that Make Me Cry Like a Baby!","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"top-10-animated-movies-that-make-me-cry-like-a-baby","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2015-10-30 13:30:34","post_modified_gmt":"2015-10-30 20:30:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=28333","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"28","filter":"raw"},{"ID":27028,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2015-03-10 08:30:46","post_date_gmt":"2015-03-10 15:30:46","post_content":"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Mason is flying solo as he interviews <strong>Christopher Knights<\/strong>, the voice of Private from <em><strong>Penguins of Madagascar<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:html -->\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?e=ADV7706497105&light=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:html -->\r\n<h3><strong>Highlights<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Chris\u00a0talks about his job at DreamWorks Animation as an editor and how he got into voice acting.<\/li>\r\n<li>Mason asks about<em>\u00a0<\/em>other<em> DreamWorks <\/em>films like <em>Shrek,\u00a0Trolls, Me and My Shadow,\u00a0<\/em>and<em> Mumbai Musical.\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\r\n<li>Chris also answers a question we had on a previous episode, <em>We're Back!

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds.

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read.

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it.

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds. More love letters to people like Picasso and even one of his favorite comedies, <em>Mean Girls.<\/em> The whole book is such a perfect melding of Mexican heritage, Spanish tradition, and just the right amount of Aztec flair.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screen-Shot-2014-12-08-at-10.38.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Book of life art book locations\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" \/>\r\n<h2>Afterword by Paul Sullivan<\/h2>\r\nIf it wasn't enough,\u00a0reading through the book from the directors eyes, a few words from the art director, Paul Sullivan, really put the stamp on the end. It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read.

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it. Yeah, I think I'm just going to blame Don.)<\/span>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Fox-and-the-houd-friends-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Fox and the houd friends Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" \/>\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vuE_tNaRjmw\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\r\n<h3>Let us know what movies make you cry and then vote on the next Top 10 video!<\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[polldaddy poll=8825000]<\/p>\r\nEdited by: Hannah Wilkes","post_title":"Top 10 Animated Movies that Make Me Cry Like a Baby!","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"top-10-animated-movies-that-make-me-cry-like-a-baby","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2015-10-30 13:30:34","post_modified_gmt":"2015-10-30 20:30:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=28333","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"28","filter":"raw"},{"ID":27028,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2015-03-10 08:30:46","post_date_gmt":"2015-03-10 15:30:46","post_content":"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Mason is flying solo as he interviews <strong>Christopher Knights<\/strong>, the voice of Private from <em><strong>Penguins of Madagascar<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:html -->\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?e=ADV7706497105&light=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:html -->\r\n<h3><strong>Highlights<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Chris\u00a0talks about his job at DreamWorks Animation as an editor and how he got into voice acting.<\/li>\r\n<li>Mason asks about<em>\u00a0<\/em>other<em> DreamWorks <\/em>films like <em>Shrek,\u00a0Trolls, Me and My Shadow,\u00a0<\/em>and<em> Mumbai Musical.\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\r\n<li>Chris also answers a question we had on a previous episode, <em>We're Back!

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds. More love letters to people like Picasso and even one of his favorite comedies, <em>Mean Girls.<\/em> The whole book is such a perfect melding of Mexican heritage, Spanish tradition, and just the right amount of Aztec flair.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screen-Shot-2014-12-08-at-10.38.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Book of life art book locations\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" \/>\r\n<h2>Afterword by Paul Sullivan<\/h2>\r\nIf it wasn't enough,\u00a0reading through the book from the directors eyes, a few words from the art director, Paul Sullivan, really put the stamp on the end. It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read.

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it. Yeah, I think I'm just going to blame Don.)<\/span>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Fox-and-the-houd-friends-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Fox and the houd friends Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" \/>\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vuE_tNaRjmw\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\r\n<h3>Let us know what movies make you cry and then vote on the next Top 10 video!<\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[polldaddy poll=8825000]<\/p>\r\nEdited by: Hannah Wilkes","post_title":"Top 10 Animated Movies that Make Me Cry Like a Baby!","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"top-10-animated-movies-that-make-me-cry-like-a-baby","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2015-10-30 13:30:34","post_modified_gmt":"2015-10-30 20:30:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=28333","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"28","filter":"raw"},{"ID":27028,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2015-03-10 08:30:46","post_date_gmt":"2015-03-10 15:30:46","post_content":"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Mason is flying solo as he interviews <strong>Christopher Knights<\/strong>, the voice of Private from <em><strong>Penguins of Madagascar<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:html -->\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?e=ADV7706497105&light=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:html -->\r\n<h3><strong>Highlights<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Chris\u00a0talks about his job at DreamWorks Animation as an editor and how he got into voice acting.<\/li>\r\n<li>Mason asks about<em>\u00a0<\/em>other<em> DreamWorks <\/em>films like <em>Shrek,\u00a0Trolls, Me and My Shadow,\u00a0<\/em>and<em> Mumbai Musical.\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\r\n<li>Chris also answers a question we had on a previous episode, <em>We're Back!

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique.

It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read. It's going to be more expensive than other art books but, if you\u00a0save up, you wont regret it.\r\n\r\nYou can buy it on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/LionKingArtBook\">Amazon<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/LionKingArtBookbd\">Book Depository<\/a>\r\n\r\nListen to our podcast on how much we love <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/60\"><em>The Lion King<\/em><\/a>!\r\n\r\n<iframe width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RQ1L-x06Pto\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>","post_title":"[BOOK REVIEW] The Art of 'The Lion King'","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"book-review-the-art-of-the-lion-king","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2014-12-11 20:23:34","post_modified_gmt":"2014-12-12 03:23:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=23559","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"1","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":23},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_3o3","class":"jnews_block_5"};</script> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-100774e elementor-widget elementor-widget-jnews_archive_pagination_elementor" data-id="100774e" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="jnews_archive_pagination_elementor.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="jeg_navigation jeg_pagination jeg_col_3o3 jnews_module_36485_4_69143d79e2b5e jeg_pagenav_1 jeg_aligncenter no_pageinfo"> <span class="page_info">Page 23 of 26</span> <a class="page_nav prev" data-id="22" href="https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/22/"><span class="navtext">Previous</span></a> <a class='page_number' data-id='1' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/'>1</a> <span class="page_number dots">…</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='22' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/22/'>22</a> <span class='page_number active'>23</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='24' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/24/'>24</a> <span class="page_number dots">…</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='26' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/26/'>26</a> <a class="page_nav next" data-id="24" href="https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/24/"><span class="navtext">Next</span></a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-ca773c7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer" data-id="ca773c7" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="spacer.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="elementor-spacer"> <div class="elementor-spacer-inner"></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> \n<iframe frameborder=\"0\" height=\"200\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?e=ADV1467045568&light=true\" width=\"100%\"><\/iframe>\n<!-- \/wp:html -->\n\n\n<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Highlights from <em>The Boxtrolls<\/em> Podcast<\/h3>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:list -->\n<ul><li>Nerdy Couch Discussion: Travis Knight - Laika CEO, Producer, & Lead Animator<\/li><li>Main Discussion: General info, budget, & the melodic saw.<\/li><li>12 <em>Boxtrolls<\/em> facts you probably didn\u2019t need to know.<\/li><li>Themes: Social climbing, cheese, and living \"outside the box.\"<\/li><li>Voice cast, character development, aiming high in story development.<\/li><li>Aesthetics and difficult scenes to animate<\/li><\/ul>\n<!-- \/wp:list -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>We hope you enjoyed this <em>The Boxtrolls<\/em> podcast review!

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it.

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds. More love letters to people like Picasso and even one of his favorite comedies, <em>Mean Girls.<\/em> The whole book is such a perfect melding of Mexican heritage, Spanish tradition, and just the right amount of Aztec flair.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screen-Shot-2014-12-08-at-10.38.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Book of life art book locations\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" \/>\r\n<h2>Afterword by Paul Sullivan<\/h2>\r\nIf it wasn't enough,\u00a0reading through the book from the directors eyes, a few words from the art director, Paul Sullivan, really put the stamp on the end. It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars!

Morgan, Mason or Chelsea?\" Or more general, like, \"What movie did Mason rate the lowest?\" etc. Make some really good ones that only a true Animation Addict would know! \u00a0It will be fun to see how much (or little) we can remember.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 3: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/rotosurvey\">Submit your questions!<\/a><\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe day before the episode is aired, we will also be posting the quiz for everyone to take.

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it. Yeah, I think I'm just going to blame Don.)<\/span>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Fox-and-the-houd-friends-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Fox and the houd friends Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" \/>\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vuE_tNaRjmw\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\r\n<h3>Let us know what movies make you cry and then vote on the next Top 10 video!<\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[polldaddy poll=8825000]<\/p>\r\nEdited by: Hannah Wilkes","post_title":"Top 10 Animated Movies that Make Me Cry Like a Baby!","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"top-10-animated-movies-that-make-me-cry-like-a-baby","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2015-10-30 13:30:34","post_modified_gmt":"2015-10-30 20:30:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=28333","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"28","filter":"raw"},{"ID":27028,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2015-03-10 08:30:46","post_date_gmt":"2015-03-10 15:30:46","post_content":"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Mason is flying solo as he interviews <strong>Christopher Knights<\/strong>, the voice of Private from <em><strong>Penguins of Madagascar<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:html -->\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?e=ADV7706497105&light=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:html -->\r\n<h3><strong>Highlights<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Chris\u00a0talks about his job at DreamWorks Animation as an editor and how he got into voice acting.<\/li>\r\n<li>Mason asks about<em>\u00a0<\/em>other<em> DreamWorks <\/em>films like <em>Shrek,\u00a0Trolls, Me and My Shadow,\u00a0<\/em>and<em> Mumbai Musical.\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\r\n<li>Chris also answers a question we had on a previous episode, <em>We're Back!

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds. More love letters to people like Picasso and even one of his favorite comedies, <em>Mean Girls.<\/em> The whole book is such a perfect melding of Mexican heritage, Spanish tradition, and just the right amount of Aztec flair.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screen-Shot-2014-12-08-at-10.38.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Book of life art book locations\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" \/>\r\n<h2>Afterword by Paul Sullivan<\/h2>\r\nIf it wasn't enough,\u00a0reading through the book from the directors eyes, a few words from the art director, Paul Sullivan, really put the stamp on the end. It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read.

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it. Yeah, I think I'm just going to blame Don.)<\/span>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Fox-and-the-houd-friends-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Fox and the houd friends Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" \/>\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vuE_tNaRjmw\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\r\n<h3>Let us know what movies make you cry and then vote on the next Top 10 video!<\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[polldaddy poll=8825000]<\/p>\r\nEdited by: Hannah Wilkes","post_title":"Top 10 Animated Movies that Make Me Cry Like a Baby!","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"top-10-animated-movies-that-make-me-cry-like-a-baby","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2015-10-30 13:30:34","post_modified_gmt":"2015-10-30 20:30:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=28333","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"28","filter":"raw"},{"ID":27028,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2015-03-10 08:30:46","post_date_gmt":"2015-03-10 15:30:46","post_content":"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Mason is flying solo as he interviews <strong>Christopher Knights<\/strong>, the voice of Private from <em><strong>Penguins of Madagascar<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:html -->\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?e=ADV7706497105&light=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:html -->\r\n<h3><strong>Highlights<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Chris\u00a0talks about his job at DreamWorks Animation as an editor and how he got into voice acting.<\/li>\r\n<li>Mason asks about<em>\u00a0<\/em>other<em> DreamWorks <\/em>films like <em>Shrek,\u00a0Trolls, Me and My Shadow,\u00a0<\/em>and<em> Mumbai Musical.\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\r\n<li>Chris also answers a question we had on a previous episode, <em>We're Back!

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique.

It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read. It's going to be more expensive than other art books but, if you\u00a0save up, you wont regret it.\r\n\r\nYou can buy it on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/LionKingArtBook\">Amazon<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/LionKingArtBookbd\">Book Depository<\/a>\r\n\r\nListen to our podcast on how much we love <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/60\"><em>The Lion King<\/em><\/a>!\r\n\r\n<iframe width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RQ1L-x06Pto\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>","post_title":"[BOOK REVIEW] The Art of 'The Lion King'","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"book-review-the-art-of-the-lion-king","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2014-12-11 20:23:34","post_modified_gmt":"2014-12-12 03:23:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=23559","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"1","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":23},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_3o3","class":"jnews_block_5"};</script> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-100774e elementor-widget elementor-widget-jnews_archive_pagination_elementor" data-id="100774e" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="jnews_archive_pagination_elementor.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="jeg_navigation jeg_pagination jeg_col_3o3 jnews_module_36485_4_69143d79e2b5e jeg_pagenav_1 jeg_aligncenter no_pageinfo"> <span class="page_info">Page 23 of 26</span> <a class="page_nav prev" data-id="22" href="https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/22/"><span class="navtext">Previous</span></a> <a class='page_number' data-id='1' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/'>1</a> <span class="page_number dots">…</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='22' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/22/'>22</a> <span class='page_number active'>23</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='24' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/24/'>24</a> <span class="page_number dots">…</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='26' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/26/'>26</a> <a class="page_nav next" data-id="24" href="https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/24/"><span class="navtext">Next</span></a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-ca773c7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer" data-id="ca773c7" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="spacer.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="elementor-spacer"> <div class="elementor-spacer-inner"></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> \n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:spacer -->\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>This post contains affiliate links.

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it.

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds. More love letters to people like Picasso and even one of his favorite comedies, <em>Mean Girls.<\/em> The whole book is such a perfect melding of Mexican heritage, Spanish tradition, and just the right amount of Aztec flair.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screen-Shot-2014-12-08-at-10.38.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Book of life art book locations\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" \/>\r\n<h2>Afterword by Paul Sullivan<\/h2>\r\nIf it wasn't enough,\u00a0reading through the book from the directors eyes, a few words from the art director, Paul Sullivan, really put the stamp on the end. It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read. It's going to be more expensive than other art books but, if you\u00a0save up, you wont regret it.\r\n\r\nYou can buy it on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/LionKingArtBook\">Amazon<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/LionKingArtBookbd\">Book Depository<\/a>\r\n\r\nListen to our podcast on how much we love <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/60\"><em>The Lion King<\/em><\/a>!\r\n\r\n<iframe width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RQ1L-x06Pto\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>","post_title":"[BOOK REVIEW] The Art of 'The Lion King'","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"book-review-the-art-of-the-lion-king","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2014-12-11 20:23:34","post_modified_gmt":"2014-12-12 03:23:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=23559","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"1","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":23},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_3o3","class":"jnews_block_5"};</script> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-100774e elementor-widget elementor-widget-jnews_archive_pagination_elementor" data-id="100774e" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="jnews_archive_pagination_elementor.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="jeg_navigation jeg_pagination jeg_col_3o3 jnews_module_36485_4_69143d79e2b5e jeg_pagenav_1 jeg_aligncenter no_pageinfo"> <span class="page_info">Page 23 of 26</span> <a class="page_nav prev" data-id="22" href="https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/22/"><span class="navtext">Previous</span></a> <a class='page_number' data-id='1' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/'>1</a> <span class="page_number dots">…</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='22' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/22/'>22</a> <span class='page_number active'>23</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='24' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/24/'>24</a> <span class="page_number dots">…</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='26' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/26/'>26</a> <a class="page_nav next" data-id="24" href="https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/chelsea-robson/page/24/"><span class="navtext">Next</span></a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-ca773c7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer" data-id="ca773c7" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="spacer.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="elementor-spacer"> <div class="elementor-spacer-inner"></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> \n<ul><li>Mason Smith: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/masonsmtx\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.masonsmithportfolio.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Portfolio<\/a><\/li><li>Morgan Stradling: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/morganstradling\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.instagram.com\/morganstradling\">Instagram<\/a>, Snapchat: morganstradling<\/li><li>Chelsea Robson: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/chelsearobson\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chelsearobson.com\/\">Website<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n<!-- \/wp:list -->\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:spacer -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"align\":\"center\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>This post contains affiliate links.

YOU guys will be quizzing the hosts!\r\n\r\nWe need your help to make the questions!\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 1: Go back and listen to a few random episodes.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 2: Think of hard questions for us like, \"Who said it? Morgan, Mason or Chelsea?\" Or more general, like, \"What movie did Mason rate the lowest?\" etc. Make some really good ones that only a true Animation Addict would know! \u00a0It will be fun to see how much (or little) we can remember.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 3: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/rotosurvey\">Submit your questions!<\/a><\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe day before the episode is aired, we will also be posting the quiz for everyone to take.

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it. Yeah, I think I'm just going to blame Don.)<\/span>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Fox-and-the-houd-friends-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Fox and the houd friends Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" \/>\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vuE_tNaRjmw\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\r\n<h3>Let us know what movies make you cry and then vote on the next Top 10 video!<\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[polldaddy poll=8825000]<\/p>\r\nEdited by: Hannah Wilkes","post_title":"Top 10 Animated Movies that Make Me Cry Like a Baby!","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"top-10-animated-movies-that-make-me-cry-like-a-baby","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2015-10-30 13:30:34","post_modified_gmt":"2015-10-30 20:30:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=28333","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"28","filter":"raw"},{"ID":27028,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2015-03-10 08:30:46","post_date_gmt":"2015-03-10 15:30:46","post_content":"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Mason is flying solo as he interviews <strong>Christopher Knights<\/strong>, the voice of Private from <em><strong>Penguins of Madagascar<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:html -->\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?e=ADV7706497105&light=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:html -->\r\n<h3><strong>Highlights<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Chris\u00a0talks about his job at DreamWorks Animation as an editor and how he got into voice acting.<\/li>\r\n<li>Mason asks about<em>\u00a0<\/em>other<em> DreamWorks <\/em>films like <em>Shrek,\u00a0Trolls, Me and My Shadow,\u00a0<\/em>and<em> Mumbai Musical.\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\r\n<li>Chris also answers a question we had on a previous episode, <em>We're Back!

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds. More love letters to people like Picasso and even one of his favorite comedies, <em>Mean Girls.<\/em> The whole book is such a perfect melding of Mexican heritage, Spanish tradition, and just the right amount of Aztec flair.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screen-Shot-2014-12-08-at-10.38.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Book of life art book locations\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" \/>\r\n<h2>Afterword by Paul Sullivan<\/h2>\r\nIf it wasn't enough,\u00a0reading through the book from the directors eyes, a few words from the art director, Paul Sullivan, really put the stamp on the end. It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read.

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it. Yeah, I think I'm just going to blame Don.)<\/span>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Fox-and-the-houd-friends-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Fox and the houd friends Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" \/>\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vuE_tNaRjmw\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\r\n<h3>Let us know what movies make you cry and then vote on the next Top 10 video!<\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[polldaddy poll=8825000]<\/p>\r\nEdited by: Hannah Wilkes","post_title":"Top 10 Animated Movies that Make Me Cry Like a Baby!","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"top-10-animated-movies-that-make-me-cry-like-a-baby","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2015-10-30 13:30:34","post_modified_gmt":"2015-10-30 20:30:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=28333","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"28","filter":"raw"},{"ID":27028,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2015-03-10 08:30:46","post_date_gmt":"2015-03-10 15:30:46","post_content":"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Mason is flying solo as he interviews <strong>Christopher Knights<\/strong>, the voice of Private from <em><strong>Penguins of Madagascar<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:html -->\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?e=ADV7706497105&light=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:html -->\r\n<h3><strong>Highlights<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Chris\u00a0talks about his job at DreamWorks Animation as an editor and how he got into voice acting.<\/li>\r\n<li>Mason asks about<em>\u00a0<\/em>other<em> DreamWorks <\/em>films like <em>Shrek,\u00a0Trolls, Me and My Shadow,\u00a0<\/em>and<em> Mumbai Musical.\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\r\n<li>Chris also answers a question we had on a previous episode, <em>We're Back!

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds. More love letters to people like Picasso and even one of his favorite comedies, <em>Mean Girls.<\/em> The whole book is such a perfect melding of Mexican heritage, Spanish tradition, and just the right amount of Aztec flair.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screen-Shot-2014-12-08-at-10.38.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Book of life art book locations\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" \/>\r\n<h2>Afterword by Paul Sullivan<\/h2>\r\nIf it wasn't enough,\u00a0reading through the book from the directors eyes, a few words from the art director, Paul Sullivan, really put the stamp on the end. It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read. It's going to be more expensive than other art books but, if you\u00a0save up, you wont regret it.\r\n\r\nYou can buy it on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/LionKingArtBook\">Amazon<\/a> or <a

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it. Yeah, I think I'm just going to blame Don.)<\/span>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Fox-and-the-houd-friends-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Fox and the houd friends Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" \/>\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vuE_tNaRjmw\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\r\n<h3>Let us know what movies make you cry and then vote on the next Top 10 video!<\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[polldaddy poll=8825000]<\/p>\r\nEdited by: Hannah Wilkes","post_title":"Top 10 Animated Movies that Make Me Cry Like a Baby!","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"top-10-animated-movies-that-make-me-cry-like-a-baby","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2015-10-30 13:30:34","post_modified_gmt":"2015-10-30 20:30:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=28333","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"28","filter":"raw"},{"ID":27028,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2015-03-10 08:30:46","post_date_gmt":"2015-03-10 15:30:46","post_content":"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Mason is flying solo as he interviews <strong>Christopher Knights<\/strong>, the voice of Private from <em><strong>Penguins of Madagascar<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:html -->\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?e=ADV7706497105&light=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:html -->\r\n<h3><strong>Highlights<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Chris\u00a0talks about his job at DreamWorks Animation as an editor and how he got into voice acting.<\/li>\r\n<li>Mason asks about<em>\u00a0<\/em>other<em> DreamWorks <\/em>films like <em>Shrek,\u00a0Trolls, Me and My Shadow,\u00a0<\/em>and<em> Mumbai Musical.\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\r\n<li>Chris also answers a question we had on a previous episode, <em>We're Back!

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique.

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read. It's going to be more expensive than other art books but, if you\u00a0save up, you wont regret it.\r\n\r\nYou can buy it on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/LionKingArtBook\">Amazon<\/a> or <a

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it. Yeah, I think I'm just going to blame Don.)<\/span>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Fox-and-the-houd-friends-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Fox and the houd friends Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" \/>\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vuE_tNaRjmw\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\r\n<h3>Let us know what movies make you cry and then vote on the next Top 10 video!<\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[polldaddy poll=8825000]<\/p>\r\nEdited by: Hannah Wilkes","post_title":"Top 10 Animated Movies that Make Me Cry Like a Baby!","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"top-10-animated-movies-that-make-me-cry-like-a-baby","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2015-10-30 13:30:34","post_modified_gmt":"2015-10-30 20:30:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=28333","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"28","filter":"raw"},{"ID":27028,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2015-03-10 08:30:46","post_date_gmt":"2015-03-10 15:30:46","post_content":"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Mason is flying solo as he interviews <strong>Christopher Knights<\/strong>, the voice of Private from <em><strong>Penguins of Madagascar<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:html -->\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?e=ADV7706497105&light=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:html -->\r\n<h3><strong>Highlights<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Chris\u00a0talks about his job at DreamWorks Animation as an editor and how he got into voice acting.<\/li>\r\n<li>Mason asks about<em>\u00a0<\/em>other<em> DreamWorks <\/em>films like <em>Shrek,\u00a0Trolls, Me and My Shadow,\u00a0<\/em>and<em> Mumbai Musical.\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\r\n<li>Chris also answers a question we had on a previous episode, <em>We're Back!

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds. More love letters to people like Picasso and even one of his favorite comedies, <em>Mean Girls.<\/em> The whole book is such a perfect melding of Mexican heritage, Spanish tradition, and just the right amount of Aztec flair.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screen-Shot-2014-12-08-at-10.38.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Book of life art book locations\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" \/>\r\n<h2>Afterword by Paul Sullivan<\/h2>\r\nIf it wasn't enough,\u00a0reading through the book from the directors eyes, a few words from the art director, Paul Sullivan, really put the stamp on the end. It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read. It's going to be more expensive than other art books but, if you\u00a0save up, you wont regret it.\r\n\r\nYou can buy it on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/LionKingArtBook\">Amazon<\/a> or <a

Morgan, Mason or Chelsea?\" Or more general, like, \"What movie did Mason rate the lowest?\" etc. Make some really good ones that only a true Animation Addict would know! \u00a0It will be fun to see how much (or little) we can remember.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 3: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/rotosurvey\">Submit your questions!<\/a><\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe day before the episode is aired, we will also be posting the quiz for everyone to take.

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it.

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds. More love letters to people like Picasso and even one of his favorite comedies, <em>Mean Girls.<\/em> The whole book is such a perfect melding of Mexican heritage, Spanish tradition, and just the right amount of Aztec flair.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screen-Shot-2014-12-08-at-10.38.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Book of life art book locations\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" \/>\r\n<h2>Afterword by Paul Sullivan<\/h2>\r\nIf it wasn't enough,\u00a0reading through the book from the directors eyes, a few words from the art director, Paul Sullivan, really put the stamp on the end. It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read. It's going to be more expensive than other art books but, if you\u00a0save up, you wont regret it.\r\n\r\nYou can buy it on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/LionKingArtBook\">Amazon<\/a> or <a

The twist is that Chelsea, Mason, and Morgan are going to be put on the spot! That's right! YOU guys will be quizzing the hosts!\r\n\r\nWe need your help to make the questions!\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 1: Go back and listen to a few random episodes.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 2: Think of hard questions for us like, \"Who said it? Morgan, Mason or Chelsea?\" Or more general, like, \"What movie did Mason rate the lowest?\" etc. Make some really good ones that only a true Animation Addict would know! \u00a0It will be fun to see how much (or little) we can remember.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 3: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/rotosurvey\">Submit your questions!<\/a><\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe day before the episode is aired, we will also be posting the quiz for everyone to take.

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it.

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds. More love letters to people like Picasso and even one of his favorite comedies, <em>Mean Girls.<\/em> The whole book is such a perfect melding of Mexican heritage, Spanish tradition, and just the right amount of Aztec flair.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screen-Shot-2014-12-08-at-10.38.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Book of life art book locations\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" \/>\r\n<h2>Afterword by Paul Sullivan<\/h2>\r\nIf it wasn't enough,\u00a0reading through the book from the directors eyes, a few words from the art director, Paul Sullivan, really put the stamp on the end. It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read.

Morgan, Mason or Chelsea?\" Or more general, like, \"What movie did Mason rate the lowest?\" etc. Make some really good ones that only a true Animation Addict would know! \u00a0It will be fun to see how much (or little) we can remember.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 3: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/rotosurvey\">Submit your questions!<\/a><\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe day before the episode is aired, we will also be posting the quiz for everyone to take.

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it.

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds. More love letters to people like Picasso and even one of his favorite comedies, <em>Mean Girls.<\/em> The whole book is such a perfect melding of Mexican heritage, Spanish tradition, and just the right amount of Aztec flair.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screen-Shot-2014-12-08-at-10.38.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Book of life art book locations\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" \/>\r\n<h2>Afterword by Paul Sullivan<\/h2>\r\nIf it wasn't enough,\u00a0reading through the book from the directors eyes, a few words from the art director, Paul Sullivan, really put the stamp on the end. It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read.

Morgan, Mason or Chelsea?\" Or more general, like, \"What movie did Mason rate the lowest?\" etc. Make some really good ones that only a true Animation Addict would know! \u00a0It will be fun to see how much (or little) we can remember.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 3: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/rotosurvey\">Submit your questions!<\/a><\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe day before the episode is aired, we will also be posting the quiz for everyone to take.

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it.

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds. More love letters to people like Picasso and even one of his favorite comedies, <em>Mean Girls.<\/em> The whole book is such a perfect melding of Mexican heritage, Spanish tradition, and just the right amount of Aztec flair.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screen-Shot-2014-12-08-at-10.38.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Book of life art book locations\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" \/>\r\n<h2>Afterword by Paul Sullivan<\/h2>\r\nIf it wasn't enough,\u00a0reading through the book from the directors eyes, a few words from the art director, Paul Sullivan, really put the stamp on the end. It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read.

Morgan, Mason or Chelsea?\" Or more general, like, \"What movie did Mason rate the lowest?\" etc. Make some really good ones that only a true Animation Addict would know! \u00a0It will be fun to see how much (or little) we can remember.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 3: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/rotosurvey\">Submit your questions!<\/a><\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe day before the episode is aired, we will also be posting the quiz for everyone to take.

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it.

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds. More love letters to people like Picasso and even one of his favorite comedies, <em>Mean Girls.<\/em> The whole book is such a perfect melding of Mexican heritage, Spanish tradition, and just the right amount of Aztec flair.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screen-Shot-2014-12-08-at-10.38.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Book of life art book locations\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" \/>\r\n<h2>Afterword by Paul Sullivan<\/h2>\r\nIf it wasn't enough,\u00a0reading through the book from the directors eyes, a few words from the art director, Paul Sullivan, really put the stamp on the end. It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read.

Morgan, Mason or Chelsea?\" Or more general, like, \"What movie did Mason rate the lowest?\" etc. Make some really good ones that only a true Animation Addict would know! \u00a0It will be fun to see how much (or little) we can remember.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 3: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/rotosurvey\">Submit your questions!<\/a><\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe day before the episode is aired, we will also be posting the quiz for everyone to take.

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it.

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds. More love letters to people like Picasso and even one of his favorite comedies, <em>Mean Girls.<\/em> The whole book is such a perfect melding of Mexican heritage, Spanish tradition, and just the right amount of Aztec flair.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screen-Shot-2014-12-08-at-10.38.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Book of life art book locations\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" \/>\r\n<h2>Afterword by Paul Sullivan<\/h2>\r\nIf it wasn't enough,\u00a0reading through the book from the directors eyes, a few words from the art director, Paul Sullivan, really put the stamp on the end. It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read.

YOU guys will be quizzing the hosts!\r\n\r\nWe need your help to make the questions!\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 1: Go back and listen to a few random episodes.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 2: Think of hard questions for us like, \"Who said it? Morgan, Mason or Chelsea?\" Or more general, like, \"What movie did Mason rate the lowest?\" etc. Make some really good ones that only a true Animation Addict would know! \u00a0It will be fun to see how much (or little) we can remember.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 3: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/rotosurvey\">Submit your questions!<\/a><\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe day before the episode is aired, we will also be posting the quiz for everyone to take.

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it.

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds. More love letters to people like Picasso and even one of his favorite comedies, <em>Mean Girls.<\/em> The whole book is such a perfect melding of Mexican heritage, Spanish tradition, and just the right amount of Aztec flair.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screen-Shot-2014-12-08-at-10.38.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Book of life art book locations\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" \/>\r\n<h2>Afterword by Paul Sullivan<\/h2>\r\nIf it wasn't enough,\u00a0reading through the book from the directors eyes, a few words from the art director, Paul Sullivan, really put the stamp on the end. It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars!

YOU guys will be quizzing the hosts!\r\n\r\nWe need your help to make the questions!\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 1: Go back and listen to a few random episodes.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 2: Think of hard questions for us like, \"Who said it? Morgan, Mason or Chelsea?\" Or more general, like, \"What movie did Mason rate the lowest?\" etc. Make some really good ones that only a true Animation Addict would know! \u00a0It will be fun to see how much (or little) we can remember.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 3: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/rotosurvey\">Submit your questions!<\/a><\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe day before the episode is aired, we will also be posting the quiz for everyone to take.

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it.

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds. More love letters to people like Picasso and even one of his favorite comedies, <em>Mean Girls.<\/em> The whole book is such a perfect melding of Mexican heritage, Spanish tradition, and just the right amount of Aztec flair.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screen-Shot-2014-12-08-at-10.38.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Book of life art book locations\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" \/>\r\n<h2>Afterword by Paul Sullivan<\/h2>\r\nIf it wasn't enough,\u00a0reading through the book from the directors eyes, a few words from the art director, Paul Sullivan, really put the stamp on the end. It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars!

YOU guys will be quizzing the hosts!\r\n\r\nWe need your help to make the questions!\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 1: Go back and listen to a few random episodes.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 2: Think of hard questions for us like, \"Who said it? Morgan, Mason or Chelsea?\" Or more general, like, \"What movie did Mason rate the lowest?\" etc. Make some really good ones that only a true Animation Addict would know! \u00a0It will be fun to see how much (or little) we can remember.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 3: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/rotosurvey\">Submit your questions!<\/a><\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe day before the episode is aired, we will also be posting the quiz for everyone to take.

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it.

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds. More love letters to people like Picasso and even one of his favorite comedies, <em>Mean Girls.<\/em> The whole book is such a perfect melding of Mexican heritage, Spanish tradition, and just the right amount of Aztec flair.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screen-Shot-2014-12-08-at-10.38.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Book of life art book locations\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" \/>\r\n<h2>Afterword by Paul Sullivan<\/h2>\r\nIf it wasn't enough,\u00a0reading through the book from the directors eyes, a few words from the art director, Paul Sullivan, really put the stamp on the end. It's very obvious that Jorge's enthusiasm ignited a spark at Reel FX. Everyone felt like they were apart of something special. As you read, you can feel everyone's combined passion. It is tangible and permeates every page.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-BACK-COVER.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE BACK COVER\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I give this book 4 1\/2 stars out of 5!

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read. It's going to be more expensive than other art books but, if you\u00a0save up, you wont regret it.\r\n\r\nYou can buy it on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/LionKingArtBook\">Amazon<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/LionKingArtBookbd\">Book Depository<\/a>\r\n\r\nListen to our podcast on how much we love <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/60\"><em>The Lion

Seriously, we get emotional at the littlest things: firework shows, parades... it's embarrassing. We were all laughing about it amongst ourselves one evening and the subject turned to movies that make us cry. Obviously, it was a long list. However, as we went\u00a0through them I realized, unsurprisingly, that most of them are animated.\r\n<h2>Today I\u00a0ask\u00a0the question: What are the saddest animated movies? What movies make you cry like a baby, every time?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>10. Bambi<\/h3>\r\nIt's almost clich\u00e9 to say this one. But, at the same time, it's traumatized\u00a0children since 1942. If you ask anyone over the age of 40, they will be able to tell you the emotional scars that came after the moment when Bambi called out for his mother and there was\u00a0no reply.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bambi-Mom-Dies-Mother-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Bambi Mom Dies Mother Rotoscopers\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/>\r\n<h3>9. <em>Dumbo<\/em><\/h3>\r\nSomehow, we have all felt like Dumbo when we were made fun of or left out. As bad as this feels, I think it's actually worse to see someone we love go through this and not be able to help them. When little sweet Dumbo is\u00a0made into a joke, all 'Mama Jumbo' wants to do is comfort him. She is\u00a0tied up and separated from her child, but she does everything in her power to make it better.\u00a0It's not much, but it's the little things that get us through in our own lives. That is why this part of <em>Dumbo<\/em> always makes me cry.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dumbo-Baby-Mine-Mom-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Dumbo Baby Mine Mom Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCharlotte the spider take\u00a0a liking to the little pig, Wilber, who shares a pen with her on the Zukerman farm, and wants to save him from the inevitable fate of being the main course on the dinner table.\u00a0(Facts of farm life.) She throws away her daily schedule and spins a web that entitles him \"Terrific,\" \"Radiant,\" \"Humble,\" or \"Some Pig.\" This changes the farmer's mind and makes him think the pig is too special to eat.\r\n\r\nSelflessness: That is what I take away from this movie. There are saint-like people in this world that will give and give. They will spend their time and energy to help and encourage you, without ever asking for anything in return. They find joy when they see\u00a0you succeed. Most of the time we can never really repay them... even if we tried. But that's not why they do the things they do, anyway. They help others to enjoy the journey. If you haven't seen <em>Charlotte's Web<\/em> in the last 5 years... add it to you list to watch again.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/charlottes-web-death-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"charlottes web death Rotoscopers\" width=\"592\" height=\"336\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>7. <em>An American Tail<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn <em>An American Tail<\/em>, the Mousekewitz family travels by boat to America to escape oppression in their homeland. On the way their son, Fievel, falls overboard and the Mousekewitz family\u00a0thinks they will never see him again. Fievel survives and makes his way to land in a bottle, but he is very young and all alone. Your heart stings are pulled upon the realization that Fievel must make friends and search to find his family in this new world.\r\n\r\nDon Bluth was the director of <em>An American Tail<\/em> and, after watching a few of his films, I have found that his main goal is to take the viewer to the place of vulnerability. He was traumatized by Bambi in his youth and wanted to make sure an entirely new generation felt that same sting (that's my theory, at least).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/An-American-Tail-Somewhere-Out-there-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"An American Tail Somewhere Out there Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" \/>\r\n<h3>6. <em>The Land Before Time<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe next film that never fails to get me is another one from Don Bluth's library. Little Foot, the dinosaur, was born into world that changed\u00a0around him, but at least he had the support and guidance from a loving family. Tragedy catches up with him, however, and in one night he is separated from his grandparents and his mother is killed. He is very young and now completely alone. (I'm seeing a trend. Thanks, Don.) In an already unstable world, he must trust his mother's guiding words and search to find his family at the end of his travels to\u00a0\"The Great Valley.\"\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Land-before-time-mom-dies-death-little-foot-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Land before time mom dies death little foot Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. <em>The Lion King<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe future king of the lions, Simba, had the best father. He looked up to him and wanted to be just like him. However, when Simba gets stuck in the middle of a stampede of wildebeests, his father, Mufasa, is killed in his attempt\u00a0to save him.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the rocks started to shake and I saw the stampede coming, to when it was all over and the dust cleared, I was sucked in. I have to give it up to Hans Zimmer here. The fact that Mufasa, the perfect dad, dies is heartbreaking enough. But the score adds so much depth to this moment that if you saw this film in the theaters, you will never forget it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Lion-King-Mufasa-Death-Simba-Rotoscopers.gif-.gif\" alt=\"Lion King Mufasa Death Simba Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/>\r\n<h3>4.<em> Toy Story 2<\/em><\/h3>\r\nJessie was the favorite toy of her owner, Emily. That is, until Emily grew up.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, this was the movie that every kid at the lunch table talked\u00a0about. The guilt caused by this movie effected everyone. Today, I think I know why: The song--\"When She Loved Me\"--took the viewer\u00a0to a time and place where life and relationships were simple. It made you realize that you changed. Even though it was a good\u00a0change, it still makes you remember and appreciate (maybe for the first time) the things that don't. Am I waxing too philosophic?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/toy-story-2-jessie-somebody-loved-me-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"toy story 2 jessie somebody loved me Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"198\" \/>\r\n<h3>3.<em> Toy Story 3<\/em><\/h3>\r\nMost people will agree when I say that all the<em> Toy Story<\/em> movies are about friendship, but I believe they are a long form demonstration of the five stages of grief:\u00a0denial, anger, bargaining,\u00a0depression, and acceptance.\u00a0In the first movie, Woody was afraid Buzz would replace him as Andy's best friend. Woody dealt with his fear by becoming protective (and maybe a little resentful).\u00a0In the second movie, Woody knows that eventually Andy will grow up and kind of \"sells out\" as he contemplates running away in order to avoid the pain of eventually being left behind.\r\n\r\n<em>Toy Story 3<\/em> ended with the acceptance of\u00a0life, of people's choices as they come, and making the most of them both. This is hard to do. Mourning is natural when you loose something and everyone seemed to lose something in <em>Toy Story 3<\/em>. I cried for Woody as he watched his best friend take a new life path that didn't align with his. I cried for Andy as he had to trust that he'd be able to succeed in his new life without the security of his friend by his side. I cried for myself and for all the times I've had to do both.\r\n\r\nIt was this moment that I loved the most. Both Andy and Woody look at each other and\u00a0know that all those memories, all the \"play times\" were real. They were more than real and they wont be forgotten.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Toy-Story-3-Andy-Wood-been-my-pal-friend-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Toy Story 3 Andy Wood been my pal friend for as long as I can remember Rotoscopers\" width=\"245\" height=\"170\" \/>\r\n<h3>2.<em> Up<\/em><\/h3>\r\nNormally, movies wait until the last 15 minuets to really wring the viewer out emotionally. Not so with <em>Up<\/em>. They (<span class=\"itemprop\">Pete Docter\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"itemprop\">Bob Peterson)<\/span> decided to hit everyone in the FIRST 15 minutes with the emotional 2x4. It was definitely a way to leave a mark.\r\n\r\nCarl and Ellie were perfect for each other. Not only did they balance each other out in personality and style, but in face shape too! I remember watching this film for the first time in theaters with my parents (Who I also believe balance each other out perfectly). I know I get\u00a0my crying gene from them. I remember looking\u00a0over at my parents after the married life sequence and, seeing the state we were all in, I started laughing\u00a0and crying all in one gulp. At least I was in good company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/up-married-life-scene-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"up married life scene Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"273\" \/>\r\n<h3>1. <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThis is the movie that I will not watch with others. Actually, I refuse to watch it in general. The night my family and I all sat\u00a0around and shard the movies that hit us the hardest, my mom asked why this one was so traumatizing. My brother and I started to tell the story together and I swear it turned into the scene from <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> when the two \"emotionals\" retell\u00a0the story of\u00a0<em>An Affair to Remember.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nAs far as the heartbreaking themes in this movie, there is obviously the simplicity of friendship that turns complicated when friendships break social norms. The main scene that gets me, though, is where the Widow Tweed (<span class=\"itemprop\">Jeanette Nolan)<\/span> was forced to give up her pet and best friend, Todd the fox<span class=\"itemprop\">.\u00a0I related so much\u00a0to the Widow Tweed because I always had animals around. I will also say that there was just something with the sincere voice acting and the music in this scene that just tore me up.\u00a0(Maybe it was also because\u00a0Don Bluth animated on it. Yeah, I think I'm just going to blame Don.)<\/span>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Fox-and-the-houd-friends-Rotoscopers.gif\" alt=\"Fox and the houd friends Rotoscopers\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" \/>\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vuE_tNaRjmw\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\r\n<h3>Let us know what movies make you cry and then vote on the next Top 10 video!<\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[polldaddy poll=8825000]<\/p>\r\nEdited by: Hannah Wilkes","post_title":"Top 10 Animated Movies that Make Me Cry Like a Baby!","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"top-10-animated-movies-that-make-me-cry-like-a-baby","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2015-10-30 13:30:34","post_modified_gmt":"2015-10-30 20:30:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=28333","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"28","filter":"raw"},{"ID":27028,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2015-03-10 08:30:46","post_date_gmt":"2015-03-10 15:30:46","post_content":"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Mason is flying solo as he interviews <strong>Christopher Knights<\/strong>, the voice of Private from <em><strong>Penguins of Madagascar<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:html -->\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?e=ADV7706497105&light=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:html -->\r\n<h3><strong>Highlights<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Chris\u00a0talks about his job at DreamWorks Animation as an editor and how he got into voice acting.<\/li>\r\n<li>Mason asks about<em>\u00a0<\/em>other<em> DreamWorks <\/em>films like <em>Shrek,\u00a0Trolls, Me and My Shadow,\u00a0<\/em>and<em> Mumbai Musical.\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\r\n<li>Chris also answers a question we had on a previous episode, <em>We're Back!

I guess that\u2019s why they got him. The forward is short and to the point. It talks mostly about when Jorge Gutierrez approached him to produce his film and his infectious enthusiasm. As you read through this book, you feel like you get to know him and realize that is not an overstatement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW-1.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW 1\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The best part of this book is that it is written by the director, Jorge Gutierrez, himself. Being that <em>The Book of Life<\/em>\u00a0was his brain child and had been in pre-production for the past 14 years, there would be no one better to do it. Jorge has a very strong voice in his writing and you feel like you are sitting down with him by your side as he shows you exactly what he was thinking. He shares with you his inspirations (both living and remembered) as well as his incredible love for the holiday Dia de los Muertos. Jorge introduces the book and says that \u201cThe unique look of the film is very much my passionate love letter to Mexican folk art.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The book is separated into three sections: Characters, Making Of, and Locations. It features all the things we have come to expect in contemporary art books such as\u00a0visualization development sketches, color keys, full page spreads, and pull outs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-LA-MUERTA.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE LA MUERTA\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Characters<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Jorge loves symbols and patterns. So, of course, symbolism and intricate designs are everywhere. There are so many details that you may have noticed while watching the film but didn\u2019t necessarily catch. He collaborated with his wife on many of the aspects of the film but said that when creating the characters, he would take everything \"manly or ugly\" and she would do all things feminine and beautiful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everything is a love letter. Xibalba is a love letter to Guillermo, Chakal is a love letter to the Mexican bandit villains from his favorite Spaghetti Westerns, and every man\u2019s mustache is a love letter to mustaches in and of themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-MOON.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE MOON\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Making Of<\/h2>\r\nThis chapter is full of colors, shapes, layouts, and materials--basically everything you would want to know about the minutia of what makes this film unique. It showcases color keys at the bottom of the pages and has a few pullouts. We also get brief introductions to all the worlds and a different setting within The Land of the Remembered where the reunion scene was going to take place.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/ART-OF-THE-BOOK-OF-LIFE-REVIEW.png\" alt=\"ART OF THE BOOK OF LIFE REVIEW\" width=\"655\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Locations<\/h2>\r\nThis final section gives us a deep dive into\u00a0the film's backgrounds and the characters that fill in those backgrounds.

Today, I get the special treat of reviewing the art book from Disney's iconic 1994 film. All and all, I would also say that it is one of the best 'Art Of' books of any animated film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-Lion-King-1.png\" alt=\"Art of Lion King 1\" width=\"538\" height=\"387\" \/>\r\n\r\nMost contemporary art books are broken up into sections like Characters, Locations, and the \"Making Of.\" They have come to be more of a companion book to go along with the movie. The Art of The Lion King is a little different because it is very sequential. Starting from the unforgettable opening scene, as you flip through, it is like you are reliving the movie itself.\r\n\r\nIt broken up into 5 parts. The forward is by James Earl Jones and then goes into Acts One, Two, and Three, concluding with the \"Afterword,\" a section about 30 pages long detailing behind-the-scenes stories and the main people behind the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-4.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 4\" width=\"611\" height=\"327\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe book starts out with final key frames from the opening sequence. As the pages move on, it keeps your attention with a great mix of the final frames, story boards, concept art, and even excerpts from artists' work books. It's like walking through an art gallery. Every picture is chosen wisely and placed on the page with great care and purpose. With every page I felt like I was either learning more about the character or the animation that brought it all to life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-3.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 3\" width=\"571\" height=\"325\" \/>\r\n\r\nI love the way this book is laid out! Generally, it has one main focal point per page. Most of the time that focal point is larger and a variation of one of the more iconic images, which is then sometimes balanced by a few smaller pictures to the right or to the left that add interest and the desire to study each page. As seen above, even on pages where there is a lot to look at, color choices and lines help guide your eye to look at one place first, before you move on to see what else there is to discover.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-5.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 5\" width=\"616\" height=\"320\" \/>\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed, author Christopher Finch's writing style. He tells the story simply and doesn't bring in too much text to take away from the art. He also knows how important the songs were in telling this story and lets the lyrics speak for themselves.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-6.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 6\" width=\"610\" height=\"326\" \/>\r\n\r\nI feel like they way that it is broken up really shows the quality of storytelling and just how much of a masterpiece this movie was, not just for it's time but all time. Every page, you get sucked in and remember what it was like the very first time you saw these iconic images.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-7.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 7\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter about 165 pages of story we finally move into what we love about art books. In the last 30 or so pages, Finch does a fantastic job of letting you know who the key players and\u00a0crew members were. You learn of their thoughts and feelings and antics during the production. This includes the stories from their trip to Africa for research on design as well as techniques and challenges they faced back at home. It's a mini history with the amount of details that would be expected on platinum level Blu-ray releases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-8.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 8\" width=\"628\" height=\"349\" \/>\r\n\r\nI give this book a perfect 5 stars! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and specific intent behind every page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Art-of-lion-king-9.png\" alt=\"Art of lion king 9\" width=\"608\" height=\"333\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned at the beginning, this is one of the best 'Art Of' books I have ever read. It's going to be more expensive than other art books but, if you\u00a0save up, you wont regret it.\r\n\r\nYou can buy it on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/LionKingArtBook\">Amazon<\/a> or <a
