Regarding animation nominees there were quite a few expected nominees as well as a few surprises.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/2014-oscar-nominations-best-animated-film.png\"><img class=\"alignright wp-image-12192\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/2014-oscar-nominations-best-animated-film.png\" alt=\"2014-oscar-nominations-best-animated-film\" width=\"613\" height=\"192\" \/><\/a>\r\n<h3>Best Animated Feature<\/h3>\r\nWhile the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/11\/05\/19-animated-films-up-for-2013-oscar-consideration\/\">consideration list<\/a>\u00a0was packed with 19 contender for Best Animated Feature, only five made the final cut. And the list of finalists isn't that surprising or unexpected.\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><em>The Croods\u00a0<\/em>(DreamWorks)<\/li>\r\n\t<li><em>Despicable Me 2\u00a0<\/em>(Illumination Entertainment)<\/li>\r\n\t<li><em>Ernest & Celestine\u00a0<\/em>(La Parti Productions\/Les Armateurs)<\/li>\r\n\t<li><em>Frozen <\/em>(Walt Disney Animation Studios)<\/li>\r\n\t<li><em>The Wind Rises\u00a0<\/em>(Studio Ghibli)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nNotably absent is Pixar's\u00a0<em>Monsters University<\/em>...yet again. The film was also\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/12\/12\/2014-golden-globe-nominations-frozen-croods-despicable-me-2-get-noms-mu-gets-snubbed\/\">snubbed<\/a> from the Golden Globe nominations so people thought maybe the Oscar nominations would be different. Well, apparently that wasn't the case.\u00a0And, not surprisingly,\u00a0Pixar and animation fans are in uproar about\u00a0it.\u00a0However, it is worth noting that\u00a0<em>MU<\/em>\u00a0is currently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/12\/02\/41st-annual-annie-awards-nominations-are-in\/\">nominated<\/a> in the Best Animated Feature category for the Annie Awards. So at least the animation industry is recognizing the merits of that film.\r\n\r\n<em>Frozen<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/01\/12\/golden-globes-results-are-in-frozen-takes-home-best-animated-feature\/\">won this category<\/a> for the Golden Globes earlier this week. Will it win it for the Oscars as well? Guess we'll have to wait and see.\r\n<h3>Best Short Film - Animated<\/h3>\r\nThis is always an interesting category because it is filled with many lesser known animated shorts.\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><em>Feral<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li><em>Get a Horse!<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li><em>Mr. Hublet<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li><em>Possessions<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li><em>Room on the Broom<\/em><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nAgain, Pixar's\u00a0<em>The Blue Umbrella<\/em> didn't make the list. While the film was technically brilliant, the story wasn't very original (very similar to Disney's <em>Paperman<\/em> and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=TkFbfRRquzA\">Johnny Fedora and Alice Blue Bonnet<\/a>).\r\n\r\n<i>Disney's\u00a0<\/i><em>Get a Horse!<\/em>, which played in front of Frozen was nominated and seems to be the only short that was attached to a 2013 theatrical film. This category is always such a wild card because you never know who is going to win. Sometimes you think the big studio has it, but then a little independent studio ends up winning.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite things that has happened in recent years is the ability to watch all the Oscar nominated shorts in theatres. Usually you can only see these at select theatres, but I just noticed that my local theatre chain is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.harkinstheatres.com\/movieDetails.aspx?movieId=176806\">offering showings<\/a> of the 2014 Oscar-nominated short films, both animated and live action. So definitely check your local theatre listings to see if you can watch the shorts in your home town.\r\n<h3>Best Original Song<\/h3>\r\nThis category usually is a grab bag of all films from a variety of genres and mediums. Animated films frequently make the list, especially if a Disney animated musical was released that year. Here are the songs from animated films that were nominated:\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>\"Happy\" from <em>Despicable Me 2<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li>\"Let It Go\" from <em>Frozen<\/em><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nNo surprise that Frozen's \"Let It Go\" was nominated because it seems that song has captivated the world. \"Happy\" from\u00a0<em>Despicable Me 2<\/em> was a surprise, especially since it wasn't nominated for the Golden Globes.\u00a0<em>Frozen\u00a0<\/em>didn't win best song for the Golden Globes, but it would be nice to see it grab the trophy for the Oscars. If anything, hopefully we can get an Idina Menzel live performance of \"Let It Go\" during the awards ceremony.\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/moSFlvxnbgk\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center><center><\/center><center><\/center><center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Q-GLuydiMe4\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\r\nDisney fans were hoping that Frozen would get a <i>Best Picture nomination, but that didn't happen. While it's not unheard of for animated films to get nominated, it still is pretty rare. Some may argue that the Academy is biased to animated films when it comes to Best Picture. To do, no animated film has ever won the category.<\/i>\r\n\r\nThe 86th annual Academy Awards will air on ABC on Sunday, March 2, 2014 at 7 EST\/4 PST.\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>What do you think about the nominations?

Shout! Factory!, the company releasing the film on DVD, has done a great job bringing\u00a0some lesser known foreign animated films to the US, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/05\/03\/blu-ray-review-a-monster-in-paris-dont-judge-this-monster-by-its-cover\/\"><em>A Monster in Paris<\/em><\/a>, which was released on Blu-ray last year.\r\n\r\nI haven't seen <em>Noah's Ark<\/em>, but the 2D animation looks pretty nice and fun.

Pretty soon, animals are\u00a0lining up to board the Ark\u00a0two by two. But as the rain begins to fall outside, it soon becomes clear that living together on a very cramped ship isn\u2019t going to be easy!\r\n\r\nTrouble begins to brew when the animals begin to get hungry, a pair of stowaways plot to take over the ship, Dagnino the Tiger wants to replace the irresponsible Lion, Xiro, as king of the beasts and Noah\u2019s own family begins to squabble! One thing\u2019s for sure \u2013 it won\u2019t be smooth sailing on this trip.\u00a0But with a little luck and a little faith, Noah will be able to deliver his floating zoo to safety.<\/blockquote>\r\n<em>Noah's Ark\u00a0<\/em>will be available on DVD March 11, 2014.

But a photo appeared online, which features our first look at the robot Baymax!\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/baymax-robot-big-hero-6.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12238\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/baymax-robot-big-hero-6.jpg\" alt=\"baymax-robot-big-hero-6\" width=\"960\" height=\"408\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\nThe photo is of a from the <em>Big Hero 6<\/em> crew t-shirt and features the robot character himself. The photo was posted back in December on the Disney Animator's <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/photo.php?fbid=238425302991000&set=a.233657590134438.1073741828.233287670171430&type=1&relevant_count=1\">Facebook page<\/a>, which is the unofficial page for the Walt Disney Animation Studios Animation Department. According to Stephane Kardos, who is an art director at Disney, he designed this shirt for the <em>Big Hero 6<\/em> crew.\r\n\r\nBaymax is the fighting robot that Hiro Hamada creates to help fight crime and save his city of San Fransokyo.\u00a0We haven't been given much info about what the film's look and ultimate design except for a few <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/05\/09\/disney-officially-announces-big-hero-6-first-look\/\">background stills<\/a> and a short clip of San Fransokyo at night. Originally I thought Baymax had simple dots for eyes and a big goofy white grin. But turns out, that his eyes are <em>in<\/em> the white part. His head is tlited down and those black dots are the pointy parts of his helmet\/head.\r\n\r\nAt the D23 Expo, there was a Disney animation preview that gave audience members a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/08\/09\/disney-animation-confirms-upcoming-slate-and-then-some\/\">glimpse<\/a> of what to expect for Big Hero 6, although no stills of the characters were released. On the expo floor, just the silhouettes of the main characters--Hiro Hamada, Baymax, Wasabi No Ginger, Honey Lemon, Go-Go Tomago and Fred--were seen. I can't wait until Disney finally lets us see the whole picture of the <em>Big Hero 6<\/em>\u00a0crime-fighting gang!\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Big-Hero-6-characters.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12240\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Big-Hero-6-characters-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"big-hero-6-characters\" width=\"614\" height=\"461\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nIt's unlikely that we'll get any more info or photos about this film until summer. We didn't get trailers for <em>Frozen<\/em> or\u00a0<em>Wreck-It Ralph<\/em> until summer, so it appears that is Walt Disney Animation Studios' preferred marketing schedule. Although we could be surprised. I wouldn't complain if Disney broke the mold and gave us a bit more a little earlier than usual.\r\n\r\nBleeding Cool got some info about the film's plot and characters and collaborated with us to shoot a video about it.

When Surly and his mute rat friend, Buddy, discover that a nut shop is opening up, they come up with a plan to steal the nuts in what will be the biggest nut heist in history. However, things don't go as plan because Andie (Katherine Hiegl), one of the park squirrels, and a few other of the park animals find out, forcing Surly to work with them to get the nuts.\r\n\r\nYep,\u00a0<em>The Nut Job<\/em> is a story about squirrels stealing nuts. The film is based on a 2005 short called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=5y5ZRcsYP5o\">\"Surly Squirrel\"<\/a>, which was directed by the same director Peter Lepeniotis. The original short is actually pretty clever and fun, but that's because it's a short.\u00a0<em>The Nut Job<\/em>, on the other hand, tried to stretch out the tired plot into a feature film and the audience can fill it.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/the-nut-job-TNJ9_rgb.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12219\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/the-nut-job-TNJ9_rgb-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"the-nut-job-andie-surly\" width=\"430\" height=\"242\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nMuch like in \"Surly Squirrel\", there is a simultaneous story of humans trying to rob a bank. <i>In\u00a0<\/i><em>The Nut Job<\/em>, we\u00a0learn more about these human characters and their motives, but really, they are just fluff and filler that takes away from Surley's story. The film is also ambiguously set in the 1950s, which was nice to see a different era; however, the animal characters all take and use phrases straight out of the 21st century while the human characters have stereotypical\u00a0New York 1950s accents.\r\n\r\nI enjoyed Will Arnett as the appropriately named Surly. His gruff voice and performance made the movie fun. Who knew that such an ill-tempered main character would be so likable? Katherine Hiegl's performance, however, was horrible. I don't know if it was the script or just her delivery, but Andie was always very flat and uninteresting. She was supposed to be sort of an unbiased mediator between the park ruler Raccoon (Liam Neeson) and Surly, but that trait made her annoying and unlikable. Brendan Fraser voices a manly, swoon-worthy squirrel named Grayson, but I really didn't notice that character much because he's in and out of the action. Also, Maya Rudolph voices a pug named Precious, who is\u00a0one of the bank robber's pets. Precious is completely endearing and yet another great addition to pugs in animation.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/the-nut-job-TNJ5_rgb.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12223\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/the-nut-job-TNJ5_rgb-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"the-nut-job-precious-surly\" width=\"430\" height=\"242\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nFrom the trailer, the animation looks horrible. But upon watching, the animation was actually quite pleasant and pretty. Now, it's definitely not Disney or Pixar quality, but it's good enough that it doesn't distract throughout the movie. Actually, the textures of the animal's fur were really impressive and, at times, I wanted to reach out and touch Surly's tail. It's so fluffy!\r\n\r\nSpeaking of misleading trailer. The trailer for\u00a0<em>The Nut Job<\/em> is filled with fart jokes and cameos of Psy from \"Gangnam Style\" fame. And yes, while there are unfortunate flatulence jokes in the film, there really aren't that many. (Why am I defending this? There really isn't any good reason to ever have fart jokes.) Also, Psy, while prominent in the trailers, isn't a character in the actual movie, thankfully. Although, this might confuse audiences when he randomly appears in the ending credits bouncing and prancing around to \"Gangnam Style\" with the other film's actual cast of human and furry critters.\r\n\r\nI didn't hate\u00a0<em>The Nut Job.\u00a0<\/em>I found myself engaged in the plot, but at the same time not caring about certain characters like Andie and Grayson. I went in with low expectations, expecting the worse, and was actually surprised that it wasn't that bad. In the end, it was OK-ish.\u00a0I didn't love it, I didn't hate it. I was just pretty neutral. Now, would I recommend it to friends? Probably not unless they had kids and were desperate to take them to something new. But if it's your goal to see every animated film of 2014, then bite the bullet and go see\u00a0<em>The Nut Job<\/em>. You just might be surprised to see that it's different than the trailers make it out to be.\r\n<h3>\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h3>\r\n<center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9GFlxm83l4w\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>","post_title":"REVIEW - If You Go in with Low Expectations, 'The Nut Job' is OK-ish","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"if-you-go-in-with-low-expectations-the-nut-job-is-ok-ish","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2014-08-12 11:34:57","post_modified_gmt":"2014-08-12 18:34:57","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=12207","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"4","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12195,"post_author":"4","post_date":"2014-01-17 08:18:21","post_date_gmt":"2014-01-17 15:18:21","post_content":"\r\n<p>It's big and LOUD!

And the list of finalists isn't that surprising or unexpected.\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><em>The Croods\u00a0<\/em>(DreamWorks)<\/li>\r\n\t<li><em>Despicable Me 2\u00a0<\/em>(Illumination Entertainment)<\/li>\r\n\t<li><em>Ernest & Celestine\u00a0<\/em>(La Parti Productions\/Les Armateurs)<\/li>\r\n\t<li><em>Frozen <\/em>(Walt Disney Animation Studios)<\/li>\r\n\t<li><em>The Wind Rises\u00a0<\/em>(Studio Ghibli)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nNotably absent is Pixar's\u00a0<em>Monsters University<\/em>...yet again. The film was also\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/12\/12\/2014-golden-globe-nominations-frozen-croods-despicable-me-2-get-noms-mu-gets-snubbed\/\">snubbed<\/a> from the Golden Globe nominations so people thought maybe the Oscar nominations would be different. Well, apparently that wasn't the case.\u00a0And, not surprisingly,\u00a0Pixar and animation fans are in uproar about\u00a0it.\u00a0However, it is worth noting that\u00a0<em>MU<\/em>\u00a0is currently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/12\/02\/41st-annual-annie-awards-nominations-are-in\/\">nominated<\/a> in the Best Animated Feature category for the Annie Awards. So at least the animation industry is recognizing the merits of that film.\r\n\r\n<em>Frozen<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/01\/12\/golden-globes-results-are-in-frozen-takes-home-best-animated-feature\/\">won this category<\/a> for the Golden Globes earlier this week. Will it win it for the Oscars as well? Guess we'll have to wait and see.\r\n<h3>Best Short Film - Animated<\/h3>\r\nThis is always an interesting category because it is filled with many lesser known animated shorts.\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><em>Feral<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li><em>Get a Horse!<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li><em>Mr. Hublet<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li><em>Possessions<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li><em>Room on the Broom<\/em><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nAgain, Pixar's\u00a0<em>The Blue Umbrella<\/em> didn't make the list. While the film was technically brilliant, the story wasn't very original (very similar to Disney's <em>Paperman<\/em> and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=TkFbfRRquzA\">Johnny Fedora and Alice Blue Bonnet<\/a>).\r\n\r\n<i>Disney's\u00a0<\/i><em>Get a Horse!<\/em>, which played in front of Frozen was nominated and seems to be the only short that was attached to a 2013 theatrical film. This category is always such a wild card because you never know who is going to win. Sometimes you think the big studio has it, but then a little independent studio ends up winning.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite things that has happened in recent years is the ability to watch all the Oscar nominated shorts in theatres. Usually you can only see these at select theatres, but I just noticed that my local theatre chain is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.harkinstheatres.com\/movieDetails.aspx?movieId=176806\">offering showings<\/a> of the 2014 Oscar-nominated short films, both animated and live action. So definitely check your local theatre listings to see if you can watch the shorts in your home town.\r\n<h3>Best Original Song<\/h3>\r\nThis category usually is a grab bag of all films from a variety of genres and mediums. Animated films frequently make the list, especially if a Disney animated musical was released that year. Here are the songs from animated films that were nominated:\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>\"Happy\" from <em>Despicable Me 2<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li>\"Let It Go\" from <em>Frozen<\/em><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nNo surprise that Frozen's \"Let It Go\" was nominated because it seems that song has captivated the world. \"Happy\" from\u00a0<em>Despicable Me 2<\/em> was a surprise, especially since it wasn't nominated for the Golden Globes.\u00a0<em>Frozen\u00a0<\/em>didn't win best song for the Golden Globes, but it would be nice to see it grab the trophy for the Oscars. If anything, hopefully we can get an Idina Menzel live performance of \"Let It Go\" during the awards ceremony.\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/moSFlvxnbgk\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center><center><\/center><center><\/center><center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Q-GLuydiMe4\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\r\nDisney fans were hoping that Frozen would get a <i>Best Picture nomination, but that didn't happen. While it's not unheard of for animated films to get nominated, it still is pretty rare. Some may argue that the Academy is biased to animated films when it comes to Best Picture. To do, no animated film has ever won the category.<\/i>\r\n\r\nThe 86th annual Academy Awards will air on ABC on Sunday, March 2, 2014 at 7 EST\/4 PST.\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>What do you think about the nominations?

Shout! Factory!, the company releasing the film on DVD, has done a great job bringing\u00a0some lesser known foreign animated films to the US, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/05\/03\/blu-ray-review-a-monster-in-paris-dont-judge-this-monster-by-its-cover\/\"><em>A Monster in Paris<\/em><\/a>, which was released on Blu-ray last year.\r\n\r\nI haven't seen <em>Noah's Ark<\/em>, but the 2D animation looks pretty nice and fun.

But as the rain begins to fall outside, it soon becomes clear that living together on a very cramped ship isn\u2019t going to be easy!\r\n\r\nTrouble begins to brew when the animals begin to get hungry, a pair of stowaways plot to take over the ship, Dagnino the Tiger wants to replace the irresponsible Lion, Xiro, as king of the beasts and Noah\u2019s own family begins to squabble! One thing\u2019s for sure \u2013 it won\u2019t be smooth sailing on this trip.\u00a0But with a little luck and a little faith, Noah will be able to deliver his floating zoo to safety.<\/blockquote>\r\n<em>Noah's Ark\u00a0<\/em>will be available on DVD March 11, 2014.

But a photo appeared online, which features our first look at the robot Baymax!\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/baymax-robot-big-hero-6.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12238\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/baymax-robot-big-hero-6.jpg\" alt=\"baymax-robot-big-hero-6\" width=\"960\" height=\"408\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\nThe photo is of a from the <em>Big Hero 6<\/em> crew t-shirt and features the robot character himself. The photo was posted back in December on the Disney Animator's <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/photo.php?fbid=238425302991000&set=a.233657590134438.1073741828.233287670171430&type=1&relevant_count=1\">Facebook page<\/a>, which is the unofficial page for the Walt Disney Animation Studios Animation Department. According to Stephane Kardos, who is an art director at Disney, he designed this shirt for the <em>Big Hero 6<\/em> crew.\r\n\r\nBaymax is the fighting robot that Hiro Hamada creates to help fight crime and save his city of San Fransokyo.\u00a0We haven't been given much info about what the film's look and ultimate design except for a few <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/05\/09\/disney-officially-announces-big-hero-6-first-look\/\">background stills<\/a> and a short clip of San Fransokyo at night. Originally I thought Baymax had simple dots for eyes and a big goofy white grin. But turns out, that his eyes are <em>in<\/em> the white part. His head is tlited down and those black dots are the pointy parts of his helmet\/head.\r\n\r\nAt the D23 Expo, there was a Disney animation preview that gave audience members a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/08\/09\/disney-animation-confirms-upcoming-slate-and-then-some\/\">glimpse<\/a> of what to expect for Big Hero 6, although no stills of the characters were released. On the expo floor, just the silhouettes of the main characters--Hiro Hamada, Baymax, Wasabi No Ginger, Honey Lemon, Go-Go Tomago and Fred--were seen. I can't wait until Disney finally lets us see the whole picture of the <em>Big Hero 6<\/em>\u00a0crime-fighting gang!\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Big-Hero-6-characters.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12240\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Big-Hero-6-characters-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"big-hero-6-characters\" width=\"614\" height=\"461\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nIt's unlikely that we'll get any more info or photos about this film until summer. We didn't get trailers for <em>Frozen<\/em> or\u00a0<em>Wreck-It Ralph<\/em> until summer, so it appears that is Walt Disney Animation Studios' preferred marketing schedule. Although we could be surprised. I wouldn't complain if Disney broke the mold and gave us a bit more a little earlier than usual.\r\n\r\nBleeding Cool got some info about the film's plot and characters and collaborated with us to shoot a video about it. So if you want to learn more about <em>Big Hero 6\u00a0<\/em>and the characters, then definitely check that video out below.\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9zYVrAa-J0Y\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center><center><\/center>\r\nBig Hero 6 hits theatres November 7, 2014\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>How do you like Baymax's design?

The original short is actually pretty clever and fun, but that's because it's a short.\u00a0<em>The Nut Job<\/em>, on the other hand, tried to stretch out the tired plot into a feature film and the audience can fill it.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/the-nut-job-TNJ9_rgb.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12219\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/the-nut-job-TNJ9_rgb-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"the-nut-job-andie-surly\" width=\"430\" height=\"242\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nMuch like in \"Surly Squirrel\", there is a simultaneous story of humans trying to rob a bank. <i>In\u00a0<\/i><em>The Nut Job<\/em>, we\u00a0learn more about these human characters and their motives, but really, they are just fluff and filler that takes away from Surley's story. The film is also ambiguously set in the 1950s, which was nice to see a different era; however, the animal characters all take and use phrases straight out of the 21st century while the human characters have stereotypical\u00a0New York 1950s accents.\r\n\r\nI enjoyed Will Arnett as the appropriately named Surly. His gruff voice and performance made the movie fun. Who knew that such an ill-tempered main character would be so likable? Katherine Hiegl's performance, however, was horrible. I don't know if it was the script or just her delivery, but Andie was always very flat and uninteresting. She was supposed to be sort of an unbiased mediator between the park ruler Raccoon (Liam Neeson) and Surly, but that trait made her annoying and unlikable. Brendan Fraser voices a manly, swoon-worthy squirrel named Grayson, but I really didn't notice that character much because he's in and out of the action. Also, Maya Rudolph voices a pug named Precious, who is\u00a0one of the bank robber's pets. Precious is completely endearing and yet another great addition to pugs in animation.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/the-nut-job-TNJ5_rgb.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12223\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/the-nut-job-TNJ5_rgb-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"the-nut-job-precious-surly\" width=\"430\" height=\"242\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nFrom the trailer, the animation looks horrible. But upon watching, the animation was actually quite pleasant and pretty. Now, it's definitely not Disney or Pixar quality, but it's good enough that it doesn't distract throughout the movie. Actually, the textures of the animal's fur were really impressive and, at times, I wanted to reach out and touch Surly's tail. It's so fluffy!\r\n\r\nSpeaking of misleading trailer. The trailer for\u00a0<em>The Nut Job<\/em> is filled with fart jokes and cameos of Psy from \"Gangnam Style\" fame. And yes, while there are unfortunate flatulence jokes in the film, there really aren't that many. (Why am I defending this? There really isn't any good reason to ever have fart jokes.) Also, Psy, while prominent in the trailers, isn't a character in the actual movie, thankfully. Although, this might confuse audiences when he randomly appears in the ending credits bouncing and prancing around to \"Gangnam Style\" with the other film's actual cast of human and furry critters.\r\n\r\nI didn't hate\u00a0<em>The Nut Job.\u00a0<\/em>I found myself engaged in the plot, but at the same time not caring about certain characters like Andie and Grayson. I went in with low expectations, expecting the worse, and was actually surprised that it wasn't that bad. In the end, it was OK-ish.\u00a0I didn't love it, I didn't hate it. I was just pretty neutral. Now, would I recommend it to friends? Probably not unless they had kids and were desperate to take them to something new. But if it's your goal to see every animated film of 2014, then bite the bullet and go see\u00a0<em>The Nut Job<\/em>. You just might be surprised to see that it's different than the trailers make it out to be.\r\n<h3>\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h3>\r\n<center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9GFlxm83l4w\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>","post_title":"REVIEW - If You Go in with Low Expectations, 'The Nut Job' is OK-ish","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"if-you-go-in-with-low-expectations-the-nut-job-is-ok-ish","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2014-08-12 11:34:57","post_modified_gmt":"2014-08-12 18:34:57","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=12207","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"4","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12195,"post_author":"4","post_date":"2014-01-17 08:18:21","post_date_gmt":"2014-01-17 15:18:21","post_content":"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>It's big and LOUD!

Regarding animation nominees there were quite a few expected nominees as well as a few surprises.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/2014-oscar-nominations-best-animated-film.png\"><img class=\"alignright wp-image-12192\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/2014-oscar-nominations-best-animated-film.png\" alt=\"2014-oscar-nominations-best-animated-film\" width=\"613\" height=\"192\" \/><\/a>\r\n<h3>Best Animated Feature<\/h3>\r\nWhile the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/11\/05\/19-animated-films-up-for-2013-oscar-consideration\/\">consideration list<\/a>\u00a0was packed with 19 contender for Best Animated Feature, only five made the final cut. And the list of finalists isn't that surprising or unexpected.\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><em>The Croods\u00a0<\/em>(DreamWorks)<\/li>\r\n\t<li><em>Despicable Me 2\u00a0<\/em>(Illumination Entertainment)<\/li>\r\n\t<li><em>Ernest & Celestine\u00a0<\/em>(La Parti Productions\/Les Armateurs)<\/li>\r\n\t<li><em>Frozen <\/em>(Walt Disney Animation Studios)<\/li>\r\n\t<li><em>The Wind Rises\u00a0<\/em>(Studio Ghibli)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nNotably absent is Pixar's\u00a0<em>Monsters University<\/em>...yet again. The film was also\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/12\/12\/2014-golden-globe-nominations-frozen-croods-despicable-me-2-get-noms-mu-gets-snubbed\/\">snubbed<\/a> from the Golden Globe nominations so people thought maybe the Oscar nominations would be different. Well, apparently that wasn't the case.\u00a0And, not surprisingly,\u00a0Pixar and animation fans are in uproar about\u00a0it.\u00a0However, it is worth noting that\u00a0<em>MU<\/em>\u00a0is currently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/12\/02\/41st-annual-annie-awards-nominations-are-in\/\">nominated<\/a> in the Best Animated Feature category for the Annie Awards. So at least the animation industry is recognizing the merits of that film.\r\n\r\n<em>Frozen<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/01\/12\/golden-globes-results-are-in-frozen-takes-home-best-animated-feature\/\">won this category<\/a> for the Golden Globes earlier this week. Will it win it for the Oscars as well? Guess we'll have to wait and see.\r\n<h3>Best Short Film - Animated<\/h3>\r\nThis is always an interesting category because it is filled with many lesser known animated shorts.\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><em>Feral<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li><em>Get a Horse!<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li><em>Mr. Hublet<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li><em>Possessions<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li><em>Room on the Broom<\/em><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nAgain, Pixar's\u00a0<em>The Blue Umbrella<\/em> didn't make the list. While the film was technically brilliant, the story wasn't very original (very similar to Disney's <em>Paperman<\/em> and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=TkFbfRRquzA\">Johnny Fedora and Alice Blue Bonnet<\/a>).\r\n\r\n<i>Disney's\u00a0<\/i><em>Get a Horse!<\/em>, which played in front of Frozen was nominated and seems to be the only short that was attached to a 2013 theatrical film. This category is always such a wild card because you never know who is going to win. Sometimes you think the big studio has it, but then a little independent studio ends up winning.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite things that has happened in recent years is the ability to watch all the Oscar nominated shorts in theatres. Usually you can only see these at select theatres, but I just noticed that my local theatre chain is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.harkinstheatres.com\/movieDetails.aspx?movieId=176806\">offering showings<\/a> of the 2014 Oscar-nominated short films, both animated and live action. So definitely check your local theatre listings to see if you can watch the shorts in your home town.\r\n<h3>Best Original Song<\/h3>\r\nThis category usually is a grab bag of all films from a variety of genres and mediums. Animated films frequently make the list, especially if a Disney animated musical was released that year. Here are the songs from animated films that were nominated:\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>\"Happy\" from <em>Despicable Me 2<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li>\"Let It Go\" from <em>Frozen<\/em><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nNo surprise that Frozen's \"Let It Go\" was nominated because it seems that song has captivated the world. \"Happy\" from\u00a0<em>Despicable Me 2<\/em> was a surprise, especially since it wasn't nominated for the Golden Globes.\u00a0<em>Frozen\u00a0<\/em>didn't win best song for the Golden Globes, but it would be nice to see it grab the trophy for the Oscars. If anything, hopefully we can get an Idina Menzel live performance of \"Let It Go\" during the awards ceremony.\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/moSFlvxnbgk\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center><center><\/center><center><\/center><center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Q-GLuydiMe4\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\r\nDisney fans were hoping that Frozen would get a <i>Best Picture nomination, but that didn't happen. While it's not unheard of for animated films to get nominated, it still is pretty rare. Some may argue that the Academy is biased to animated films when it comes to Best Picture. To do, no animated film has ever won the category.<\/i>\r\n\r\nThe 86th annual Academy Awards will air on ABC on Sunday, March 2, 2014 at 7 EST\/4 PST.\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>What do you think about the nominations?

Movies<\/a>\u00a0released an all-new trailer to DisneyToon Studios new film\u00a0<strong><em>Planes: Fire and Rescue<\/em><\/strong>. It is similar to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/10\/28\/planes-2-trailer-debuts\/\">first trailer<\/a>, but there are some new scenes, characters and moments.\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"http:\/\/movies.yahoo.com\/video\/planes-fire-rescue-trailer-162027131.html?format=embed&player_autoplay=false\" width=\"624\" height=\"351\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center> \r\n\r\nThe first half of the trailer shows the danger and seriousness of the fire-and-rescue squad. It's definitely not all fun in games like in the first\u00a0<em>Planes<\/em> film. We do get introduced to our hero, Dusty Crophopper, and that's where the mood lightens up a bit. I really like the tone and subject manner of this\u00a0<em>Planes<\/em> film compared to the race theme of the first film. To me,\u00a0<em>Planes: Fire and Rescue<\/em> seems like it will be a lot more interesting because of this new setting. This is more of what I was expecting and I'm happy to see DisneyToon Studios get it right. Also, it looks like the cast will be almost entirely new besides Dane Cook as Dusty.\r\n\r\nCheck out the plot synopsis:\r\n<blockquote><i>Planes: Fire & Rescue<\/i>\u00a0is a new comedy-adventure about second chances, featuring a dynamic crew of elite\u00a0firefighting aircraft devoted to protecting historic Piston Peak National Park from raging wildfires. When world famous air racer Dusty (voice of Dane Cook) learns that his engine is damaged and he may never race again, he must shift gears and is launched into the world of aerial firefighting. Dusty joins forces with veteran fire and rescue helicopter Blade Ranger and his courageous team, including spirited super scooper Dipper (voice of Julie Bowen), heavy-lift helicopter Windlifter, ex-miltary transport Cabbie and a lively bunch of brave all-terrain vehicles known as The Smokejumpers. Together the fearless team battles a massive wildfire and Dusty learns what it takes to become a true hero.<\/blockquote>\r\n<em>Planes: Fire and Rescue<\/em> hits theatres in the heat of summer on July 18, 2014.\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Are you excited to 'Planes 2'?

Shout! Factory!, the company releasing the film on DVD, has done a great job bringing\u00a0some lesser known foreign animated films to the US, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/05\/03\/blu-ray-review-a-monster-in-paris-dont-judge-this-monster-by-its-cover\/\"><em>A Monster in Paris<\/em><\/a>, which was released on Blu-ray last year.\r\n\r\nI haven't seen <em>Noah's Ark<\/em>, but the 2D animation looks pretty nice and fun.

But as the rain begins to fall outside, it soon becomes clear that living together on a very cramped ship isn\u2019t going to be easy!\r\n\r\nTrouble begins to brew when the animals begin to get hungry, a pair of stowaways plot to take over the ship, Dagnino the Tiger wants to replace the irresponsible Lion, Xiro, as king of the beasts and Noah\u2019s own family begins to squabble! One thing\u2019s for sure \u2013 it won\u2019t be smooth sailing on this trip.\u00a0But with a little luck and a little faith, Noah will be able to deliver his floating zoo to safety.<\/blockquote>\r\n<em>Noah's Ark\u00a0<\/em>will be available on DVD March 11, 2014.

His head is tlited down and those black dots are the pointy parts of his helmet\/head.\r\n\r\nAt the D23 Expo, there was a Disney animation preview that gave audience members a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/08\/09\/disney-animation-confirms-upcoming-slate-and-then-some\/\">glimpse<\/a> of what to expect for Big Hero 6, although no stills of the characters were released. On the expo floor, just the silhouettes of the main characters--Hiro Hamada, Baymax, Wasabi No Ginger, Honey Lemon, Go-Go Tomago and Fred--were seen. I can't wait until Disney finally lets us see the whole picture of the <em>Big Hero 6<\/em>\u00a0crime-fighting gang!\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Big-Hero-6-characters.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12240\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Big-Hero-6-characters-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"big-hero-6-characters\" width=\"614\" height=\"461\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nIt's unlikely that we'll get any more info or photos about this film until summer. We didn't get trailers for <em>Frozen<\/em> or\u00a0<em>Wreck-It Ralph<\/em> until summer, so it appears that is Walt Disney Animation Studios' preferred marketing schedule. Although we could be surprised. I wouldn't complain if Disney broke the mold and gave us a bit more a little earlier than usual.\r\n\r\nBleeding Cool got some info about the film's plot and characters and collaborated with us to shoot a video about it. So if you want to learn more about <em>Big Hero 6\u00a0<\/em>and the characters, then definitely check that video out below.\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9zYVrAa-J0Y\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center><center><\/center>\r\nBig Hero 6 hits theatres November 7, 2014\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>How do you like Baymax's design?

When Surly and his mute rat friend, Buddy, discover that a nut shop is opening up, they come up with a plan to steal the nuts in what will be the biggest nut heist in history. However, things don't go as plan because Andie (Katherine Hiegl), one of the park squirrels, and a few other of the park animals find out, forcing Surly to work with them to get the nuts.\r\n\r\nYep,\u00a0<em>The Nut Job<\/em> is a story about squirrels stealing nuts. The film is based on a 2005 short called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=5y5ZRcsYP5o\">\"Surly Squirrel\"<\/a>, which was directed by the same director Peter Lepeniotis. The original short is actually pretty clever and fun, but that's because it's a short.\u00a0<em>The Nut Job<\/em>, on the other hand, tried to stretch out the tired plot into a feature film and the audience can fill it.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/the-nut-job-TNJ9_rgb.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12219\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/the-nut-job-TNJ9_rgb-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"the-nut-job-andie-surly\" width=\"430\" height=\"242\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nMuch like in \"Surly Squirrel\", there is a simultaneous story of humans trying to rob a bank. <i>In\u00a0<\/i><em>The Nut Job<\/em>, we\u00a0learn more about these human characters and their motives, but really, they are just fluff and filler that takes away from Surley's story. The film is also ambiguously set in the 1950s, which was nice to see a different era; however, the animal characters all take and use phrases straight out of the 21st century while the human characters have stereotypical\u00a0New York 1950s accents.\r\n\r\nI enjoyed Will Arnett as the appropriately named Surly. His gruff voice and performance made the movie fun. Who knew that such an ill-tempered main character would be so likable? Katherine Hiegl's performance, however, was horrible. I don't know if it was the script or just her delivery, but Andie was always very flat and uninteresting. She was supposed to be sort of an unbiased mediator between the park ruler Raccoon (Liam Neeson) and Surly, but that trait made her annoying and unlikable. Brendan Fraser voices a manly, swoon-worthy squirrel named Grayson, but I really didn't notice that character much because he's in and out of the action. Also, Maya Rudolph voices a pug named Precious, who is\u00a0one of the bank robber's pets. Precious is completely endearing and yet another great addition to pugs in animation.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/the-nut-job-TNJ5_rgb.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12223\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/the-nut-job-TNJ5_rgb-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"the-nut-job-precious-surly\" width=\"430\" height=\"242\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nFrom the trailer, the animation looks horrible. But upon watching, the animation was actually quite pleasant and pretty. Now, it's definitely not Disney or Pixar quality, but it's good enough that it doesn't distract throughout the movie. Actually, the textures of the animal's fur were really impressive and, at times, I wanted to reach out and touch Surly's tail. It's so fluffy!\r\n\r\nSpeaking of misleading trailer. The trailer for\u00a0<em>The Nut Job<\/em> is filled with fart jokes and cameos of Psy from \"Gangnam Style\" fame. And yes, while there are unfortunate flatulence jokes in the film, there really aren't that many. (Why am I defending this? There really isn't any good reason to ever have fart jokes.) Also, Psy, while prominent in the trailers, isn't a character in the actual movie, thankfully. Although, this might confuse audiences when he randomly appears in the ending credits bouncing and prancing around to \"Gangnam Style\" with the other film's actual cast of human and furry critters.\r\n\r\nI didn't hate\u00a0<em>The Nut Job.\u00a0<\/em>I found myself engaged in the plot, but at the same time not caring about certain characters like Andie and Grayson. I went in with low expectations, expecting the worse, and was actually surprised that it wasn't that bad. In the end, it was OK-ish.\u00a0I didn't love it, I didn't hate it. I was just pretty neutral. Now, would I recommend it to friends? Probably not unless they had kids and were desperate to take them to something new. But if it's your goal to see every animated film of 2014, then bite the bullet and go see\u00a0<em>The Nut Job<\/em>. You just might be surprised to see that it's different than the trailers make it out to be.\r\n<h3>\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h3>\r\n<center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9GFlxm83l4w\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>","post_title":"REVIEW - If You Go in with Low Expectations, 'The Nut Job' is OK-ish","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"if-you-go-in-with-low-expectations-the-nut-job-is-ok-ish","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2014-08-12 11:34:57","post_modified_gmt":"2014-08-12 18:34:57","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=12207","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"4","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12195,"post_author":"4","post_date":"2014-01-17 08:18:21","post_date_gmt":"2014-01-17 15:18:21","post_content":"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>It's big and LOUD!

Regarding animation nominees there were quite a few expected nominees as well as a few surprises.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/2014-oscar-nominations-best-animated-film.png\"><img class=\"alignright wp-image-12192\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/2014-oscar-nominations-best-animated-film.png\" alt=\"2014-oscar-nominations-best-animated-film\" width=\"613\" height=\"192\" \/><\/a>\r\n<h3>Best Animated Feature<\/h3>\r\nWhile the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/11\/05\/19-animated-films-up-for-2013-oscar-consideration\/\">consideration list<\/a>\u00a0was packed with 19 contender for Best Animated Feature, only five made the final cut. And the list of finalists isn't that surprising or unexpected.\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><em>The Croods\u00a0<\/em>(DreamWorks)<\/li>\r\n\t<li><em>Despicable Me 2\u00a0<\/em>(Illumination Entertainment)<\/li>\r\n\t<li><em>Ernest & Celestine\u00a0<\/em>(La Parti Productions\/Les Armateurs)<\/li>\r\n\t<li><em>Frozen <\/em>(Walt Disney Animation Studios)<\/li>\r\n\t<li><em>The Wind Rises\u00a0<\/em>(Studio Ghibli)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nNotably absent is Pixar's\u00a0<em>Monsters University<\/em>...yet again. The film was also\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/12\/12\/2014-golden-globe-nominations-frozen-croods-despicable-me-2-get-noms-mu-gets-snubbed\/\">snubbed<\/a> from the Golden Globe nominations so people thought maybe the Oscar nominations would be different. Well, apparently that wasn't the case.\u00a0And, not surprisingly,\u00a0Pixar and animation fans are in uproar about\u00a0it.\u00a0However, it is worth noting that\u00a0<em>MU<\/em>\u00a0is currently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/12\/02\/41st-annual-annie-awards-nominations-are-in\/\">nominated<\/a> in the Best Animated Feature category for the Annie Awards. So at least the animation industry is recognizing the merits of that film.\r\n\r\n<em>Frozen<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/01\/12\/golden-globes-results-are-in-frozen-takes-home-best-animated-feature\/\">won this category<\/a> for the Golden Globes earlier this week. Will it win it for the Oscars as well? Guess we'll have to wait and see.\r\n<h3>Best Short Film - Animated<\/h3>\r\nThis is always an interesting category because it is filled with many lesser known animated shorts.\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><em>Feral<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li><em>Get a Horse!<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li><em>Mr. Hublet<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li><em>Possessions<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li><em>Room on the Broom<\/em><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nAgain, Pixar's\u00a0<em>The Blue Umbrella<\/em> didn't make the list. While the film was technically brilliant, the story wasn't very original (very similar to Disney's <em>Paperman<\/em> and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=TkFbfRRquzA\">Johnny Fedora and Alice Blue Bonnet<\/a>).\r\n\r\n<i>Disney's\u00a0<\/i><em>Get a Horse!<\/em>, which played in front of Frozen was nominated and seems to be the only short that was attached to a 2013 theatrical film. This category is always such a wild card because you never know who is going to win. Sometimes you think the big studio has it, but then a little independent studio ends up winning.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite things that has happened in recent years is the ability to watch all the Oscar nominated shorts in theatres. Usually you can only see these at select theatres, but I just noticed that my local theatre chain is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.harkinstheatres.com\/movieDetails.aspx?movieId=176806\">offering showings<\/a> of the 2014 Oscar-nominated short films, both animated and live action. So definitely check your local theatre listings to see if you can watch the shorts in your home town.\r\n<h3>Best Original Song<\/h3>\r\nThis category usually is a grab bag of all films from a variety of genres and mediums. Animated films frequently make the list, especially if a Disney animated musical was released that year. Here are the songs from animated films that were nominated:\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>\"Happy\" from <em>Despicable Me 2<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li>\"Let It Go\" from <em>Frozen<\/em><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nNo surprise that Frozen's \"Let It Go\" was nominated because it seems that song has captivated the world. \"Happy\" from\u00a0<em>Despicable Me 2<\/em> was a surprise, especially since it wasn't nominated for the Golden Globes.\u00a0<em>Frozen\u00a0<\/em>didn't win best song for the Golden Globes, but it would be nice to see it grab the trophy for the Oscars. If anything, hopefully we can get an Idina Menzel live performance of \"Let It Go\" during the awards ceremony.\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/moSFlvxnbgk\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center><center><\/center><center><\/center><center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Q-GLuydiMe4\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\r\nDisney fans were hoping that Frozen would get a <i>Best Picture nomination, but that didn't happen. While it's not unheard of for animated films to get nominated, it still is pretty rare. Some may argue that the Academy is biased to animated films when it comes to Best Picture. To do, no animated film has ever won the category.<\/i>\r\n\r\nThe 86th annual Academy Awards will air on ABC on Sunday, March 2, 2014 at 7 EST\/4 PST.\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>What do you think about the nominations?

Ever since <em>Frozen<\/em> was released, people have been begging and asking for a musical adaptation.

The film was also\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/12\/12\/2014-golden-globe-nominations-frozen-croods-despicable-me-2-get-noms-mu-gets-snubbed\/\">snubbed<\/a> from the Golden Globe nominations so people thought maybe the Oscar nominations would be different. Well, apparently that wasn't the case.\u00a0And, not surprisingly,\u00a0Pixar and animation fans are in uproar about\u00a0it.\u00a0However, it is worth noting that\u00a0<em>MU<\/em>\u00a0is currently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/12\/02\/41st-annual-annie-awards-nominations-are-in\/\">nominated<\/a> in the Best Animated Feature category for the Annie Awards. So at least the animation industry is recognizing the merits of that film.\r\n\r\n<em>Frozen<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/01\/12\/golden-globes-results-are-in-frozen-takes-home-best-animated-feature\/\">won this category<\/a> for the Golden Globes earlier this week. Will it win it for the Oscars as well? Guess we'll have to wait and see.\r\n<h3>Best Short Film - Animated<\/h3>\r\nThis is always an interesting category because it is filled with many lesser known animated shorts.\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><em>Feral<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li><em>Get a Horse!<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li><em>Mr. Hublet<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li><em>Possessions<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li><em>Room on the Broom<\/em><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nAgain, Pixar's\u00a0<em>The Blue Umbrella<\/em> didn't make the list. While the film was technically brilliant, the story wasn't very original (very similar to Disney's <em>Paperman<\/em> and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=TkFbfRRquzA\">Johnny Fedora and Alice Blue Bonnet<\/a>).\r\n\r\n<i>Disney's\u00a0<\/i><em>Get a Horse!<\/em>, which played in front of Frozen was nominated and seems to be the only short that was attached to a 2013 theatrical film. This category is always such a wild card because you never know who is going to win. Sometimes you think the big studio has it, but then a little independent studio ends up winning.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite things that has happened in recent years is the ability to watch all the Oscar nominated shorts in theatres. Usually you can only see these at select theatres, but I just noticed that my local theatre chain is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.harkinstheatres.com\/movieDetails.aspx?movieId=176806\">offering showings<\/a> of the 2014 Oscar-nominated short films, both animated and live action. So definitely check your local theatre listings to see if you can watch the shorts in your home town.\r\n<h3>Best Original Song<\/h3>\r\nThis category usually is a grab bag of all films from a variety of genres and mediums. Animated films frequently make the list, especially if a Disney animated musical was released that year. Here are the songs from animated films that were nominated:\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>\"Happy\" from <em>Despicable Me 2<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li>\"Let It Go\" from <em>Frozen<\/em><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nNo surprise that Frozen's \"Let It Go\" was nominated because it seems that song has captivated the world. \"Happy\" from\u00a0<em>Despicable Me 2<\/em> was a surprise, especially since it wasn't nominated for the Golden Globes.\u00a0<em>Frozen\u00a0<\/em>didn't win best song for the Golden Globes, but it would be nice to see it grab the trophy for the Oscars. If anything, hopefully we can get an Idina Menzel live performance of \"Let It Go\" during the awards ceremony.\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/moSFlvxnbgk\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center><center><\/center><center><\/center><center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Q-GLuydiMe4\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\r\nDisney fans were hoping that Frozen would get a <i>Best Picture nomination, but that didn't happen. While it's not unheard of for animated films to get nominated, it still is pretty rare. Some may argue that the Academy is biased to animated films when it comes to Best Picture. To do, no animated film has ever won the category.<\/i>\r\n\r\nThe 86th annual Academy Awards will air on ABC on Sunday, March 2, 2014 at 7 EST\/4 PST.\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>What do you think about the nominations?

Shout! Factory!, the company releasing the film on DVD, has done a great job bringing\u00a0some lesser known foreign animated films to the US, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/05\/03\/blu-ray-review-a-monster-in-paris-dont-judge-this-monster-by-its-cover\/\"><em>A Monster in Paris<\/em><\/a>, which was released on Blu-ray last year.\r\n\r\nI haven't seen <em>Noah's Ark<\/em>, but the 2D animation looks pretty nice and fun.

But as the rain begins to fall outside, it soon becomes clear that living together on a very cramped ship isn\u2019t going to be easy!\r\n\r\nTrouble begins to brew when the animals begin to get hungry, a pair of stowaways plot to take over the ship, Dagnino the Tiger wants to replace the irresponsible Lion, Xiro, as king of the beasts and Noah\u2019s own family begins to squabble! One thing\u2019s for sure \u2013 it won\u2019t be smooth sailing on this trip.\u00a0But with a little luck and a little faith, Noah will be able to deliver his floating zoo to safety.<\/blockquote>\r\n<em>Noah's Ark\u00a0<\/em>will be available on DVD March 11, 2014.

But a photo appeared online, which features our first look at the robot Baymax!\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/baymax-robot-big-hero-6.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12238\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/baymax-robot-big-hero-6.jpg\" alt=\"baymax-robot-big-hero-6\" width=\"960\" height=\"408\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\nThe photo is of a from the <em>Big Hero 6<\/em> crew t-shirt and features the robot character himself. The photo was posted back in December on the Disney Animator's <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/photo.php?fbid=238425302991000&set=a.233657590134438.1073741828.233287670171430&type=1&relevant_count=1\">Facebook page<\/a>, which is the unofficial page for the Walt Disney Animation Studios Animation Department. According to Stephane Kardos, who is an art director at Disney, he designed this shirt for the <em>Big Hero 6<\/em> crew.\r\n\r\nBaymax is the fighting robot that Hiro Hamada creates to help fight crime and save his city of San Fransokyo.\u00a0We haven't been given much info about what the film's look and ultimate design except for a few <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/05\/09\/disney-officially-announces-big-hero-6-first-look\/\">background stills<\/a> and a short clip of San Fransokyo at night. Originally I thought Baymax had simple dots for eyes and a big goofy white grin. But turns out, that his eyes are <em>in<\/em> the white part. His head is tlited down and those black dots are the pointy parts of his helmet\/head.\r\n\r\nAt the D23 Expo, there was a Disney animation preview that gave audience members a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/08\/09\/disney-animation-confirms-upcoming-slate-and-then-some\/\">glimpse<\/a> of what to expect for Big Hero 6, although no stills of the characters were released. On the expo floor, just the silhouettes of the main characters--Hiro Hamada, Baymax, Wasabi No Ginger, Honey Lemon, Go-Go Tomago and Fred--were seen. I can't wait until Disney finally lets us see the whole picture of the <em>Big Hero 6<\/em>\u00a0crime-fighting gang!\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Big-Hero-6-characters.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12240\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Big-Hero-6-characters-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"big-hero-6-characters\" width=\"614\" height=\"461\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nIt's unlikely that we'll get any more info or photos about this film until summer. We didn't get trailers for <em>Frozen<\/em> or\u00a0<em>Wreck-It Ralph<\/em> until summer, so it appears that is Walt Disney Animation Studios' preferred marketing schedule. Although we could be surprised. I wouldn't complain if Disney broke the mold and gave us a bit more a little earlier than usual.\r\n\r\nBleeding Cool got some info about the film's plot and characters and collaborated with us to shoot a video about it. So if you want to learn more about <em>Big Hero 6\u00a0<\/em>and the characters, then definitely check that video out below.\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9zYVrAa-J0Y\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center><center><\/center>\r\nBig Hero 6 hits theatres November 7, 2014\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>How do you like Baymax's design?

The original short is actually pretty clever and fun, but that's because it's a short.\u00a0<em>The Nut Job<\/em>, on the other hand, tried to stretch out the tired plot into a feature film and the audience can fill it.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/the-nut-job-TNJ9_rgb.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12219\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/the-nut-job-TNJ9_rgb-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"the-nut-job-andie-surly\" width=\"430\" height=\"242\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nMuch like in \"Surly Squirrel\", there is a simultaneous story of humans trying to rob a bank. <i>In\u00a0<\/i><em>The Nut Job<\/em>, we\u00a0learn more about these human characters and their motives, but really, they are just fluff and filler that takes away from Surley's story. The film is also ambiguously set in the 1950s, which was nice to see a different era; however, the animal characters all take and use phrases straight out of the 21st century while the human characters have stereotypical\u00a0New York 1950s accents.\r\n\r\nI enjoyed Will Arnett as the appropriately named Surly. His gruff voice and performance made the movie fun. Who knew that such an ill-tempered main character would be so likable? Katherine Hiegl's performance, however, was horrible. I don't know if it was the script or just her delivery, but Andie was always very flat and uninteresting. She was supposed to be sort of an unbiased mediator between the park ruler Raccoon (Liam Neeson) and Surly, but that trait made her annoying and unlikable. Brendan Fraser voices a manly, swoon-worthy squirrel named Grayson, but I really didn't notice that character much because he's in and out of the action. Also, Maya Rudolph voices a pug named Precious, who is\u00a0one of the bank robber's pets. Precious is completely endearing and yet another great addition to pugs in animation.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/the-nut-job-TNJ5_rgb.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12223\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/the-nut-job-TNJ5_rgb-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"the-nut-job-precious-surly\" width=\"430\" height=\"242\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nFrom the trailer, the animation looks horrible. But upon watching, the animation was actually quite pleasant and pretty. Now, it's definitely not Disney or Pixar quality, but it's good enough that it doesn't distract throughout the movie. Actually, the textures of the animal's fur were really impressive and, at times, I wanted to reach out and touch Surly's tail. It's so fluffy!\r\n\r\nSpeaking of misleading trailer. The trailer for\u00a0<em>The Nut Job<\/em> is filled with fart jokes and cameos of Psy from \"Gangnam Style\" fame. And yes, while there are unfortunate flatulence jokes in the film, there really aren't that many. (Why am I defending this? There really isn't any good reason to ever have fart jokes.) Also, Psy, while prominent in the trailers, isn't a character in the actual movie, thankfully. Although, this might confuse audiences when he randomly appears in the ending credits bouncing and prancing around to \"Gangnam Style\" with the other film's actual cast of human and furry critters.\r\n\r\nI didn't hate\u00a0<em>The Nut Job.\u00a0<\/em>I found myself engaged in the plot, but at the same time not caring about certain characters like Andie and Grayson. I went in with low expectations, expecting the worse, and was actually surprised that it wasn't that bad. In the end, it was OK-ish.\u00a0I didn't love it, I didn't hate it. I was just pretty neutral. Now, would I recommend it to friends? Probably not unless they had kids and were desperate to take them to something new. But if it's your goal to see every animated film of 2014, then bite the bullet and go see\u00a0<em>The Nut Job<\/em>. You just might be surprised to see that it's different than the trailers make it out to be.\r\n<h3>\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h3>\r\n<center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9GFlxm83l4w\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>","post_title":"REVIEW - If You Go in with Low Expectations, 'The Nut Job' is OK-ish","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"if-you-go-in-with-low-expectations-the-nut-job-is-ok-ish","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2014-08-12 11:34:57","post_modified_gmt":"2014-08-12 18:34:57","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=12207","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"4","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12195,"post_author":"4","post_date":"2014-01-17 08:18:21","post_date_gmt":"2014-01-17 15:18:21","post_content":"\r\n<p>It's big and LOUD!

Regarding animation nominees there were quite a few expected nominees as well as a few surprises.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/2014-oscar-nominations-best-animated-film.png\"><img class=\"alignright wp-image-12192\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/2014-oscar-nominations-best-animated-film.png\" alt=\"2014-oscar-nominations-best-animated-film\" width=\"613\" height=\"192\" \/><\/a>\r\n<h3>Best Animated Feature<\/h3>\r\nWhile the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/11\/05\/19-animated-films-up-for-2013-oscar-consideration\/\">consideration list<\/a>\u00a0was packed with 19 contender for Best Animated Feature, only five made the final cut. And the list of finalists isn't that surprising or unexpected.\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><em>The Croods\u00a0<\/em>(DreamWorks)<\/li>\r\n\t<li><em>Despicable Me 2\u00a0<\/em>(Illumination Entertainment)<\/li>\r\n\t<li><em>Ernest & Celestine\u00a0<\/em>(La Parti Productions\/Les Armateurs)<\/li>\r\n\t<li><em>Frozen <\/em>(Walt Disney Animation Studios)<\/li>\r\n\t<li><em>The Wind Rises\u00a0<\/em>(Studio Ghibli)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nNotably absent is Pixar's\u00a0<em>Monsters University<\/em>...yet again. The film was also\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/12\/12\/2014-golden-globe-nominations-frozen-croods-despicable-me-2-get-noms-mu-gets-snubbed\/\">snubbed<\/a> from the Golden Globe nominations so people thought maybe the Oscar nominations would be different. Well, apparently that wasn't the case.\u00a0And, not surprisingly,\u00a0Pixar and animation fans are in uproar about\u00a0it.\u00a0However, it is worth noting that\u00a0<em>MU<\/em>\u00a0is currently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/12\/02\/41st-annual-annie-awards-nominations-are-in\/\">nominated<\/a> in the Best Animated Feature category for the Annie Awards. So at least the animation industry is recognizing the merits of that film.\r\n\r\n<em>Frozen<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/01\/12\/golden-globes-results-are-in-frozen-takes-home-best-animated-feature\/\">won this category<\/a> for the Golden Globes earlier this week. Will it win it for the Oscars as well? Guess we'll have to wait and see.\r\n<h3>Best Short Film - Animated<\/h3>\r\nThis is always an interesting category because it is filled with many lesser known animated shorts.\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><em>Feral<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li><em>Get a Horse!<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li><em>Mr. Hublet<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li><em>Possessions<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li><em>Room on the Broom<\/em><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nAgain, Pixar's\u00a0<em>The Blue Umbrella<\/em> didn't make the list. While the film was technically brilliant, the story wasn't very original (very similar to Disney's <em>Paperman<\/em> and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=TkFbfRRquzA\">Johnny Fedora and Alice Blue Bonnet<\/a>).\r\n\r\n<i>Disney's\u00a0<\/i><em>Get a Horse!<\/em>, which played in front of Frozen was nominated and seems to be the only short that was attached to a 2013 theatrical film. This category is always such a wild card because you never know who is going to win. Sometimes you think the big studio has it, but then a little independent studio ends up winning.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite things that has happened in recent years is the ability to watch all the Oscar nominated shorts in theatres. Usually you can only see these at select theatres, but I just noticed that my local theatre chain is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.harkinstheatres.com\/movieDetails.aspx?movieId=176806\">offering showings<\/a> of the 2014 Oscar-nominated short films, both animated and live action. So definitely check your local theatre listings to see if you can watch the shorts in your home town.\r\n<h3>Best Original Song<\/h3>\r\nThis category usually is a grab bag of all films from a variety of genres and mediums. Animated films frequently make the list, especially if a Disney animated musical was released that year. Here are the songs from animated films that were nominated:\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>\"Happy\" from <em>Despicable Me 2<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li>\"Let It Go\" from <em>Frozen<\/em><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nNo surprise that Frozen's \"Let It Go\" was nominated because it seems that song has captivated the world. \"Happy\" from\u00a0<em>Despicable Me 2<\/em> was a surprise, especially since it wasn't nominated for the Golden Globes.\u00a0<em>Frozen\u00a0<\/em>didn't win best song for the Golden Globes, but it would be nice to see it grab the trophy for the Oscars. If anything, hopefully we can get an Idina Menzel live performance of \"Let It Go\" during the awards ceremony.\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/moSFlvxnbgk\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center><center><\/center><center><\/center><center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Q-GLuydiMe4\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\r\nDisney fans were hoping that Frozen would get a <i>Best Picture nomination, but that didn't happen. While it's not unheard of for animated films to get nominated, it still is pretty rare. Some may argue that the Academy is biased to animated films when it comes to Best Picture. To do, no animated film has ever won the category.<\/i>\r\n\r\nThe 86th annual Academy Awards will air on ABC on Sunday, March 2, 2014 at 7 EST\/4 PST.\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>What do you think about the nominations?

Buscarini, tells the classic bible story with a new twist. The film is told mostly from the animals' perspective in a world where both animals and humans can speak.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00GSTHDG6\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00GSTHDG6&linkCode=as2&tag=therotos-20\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12399\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/noahs-ark-dvd-cover-juan-pablo-buscarini-725x1024.jpg\" alt=\"noahs-ark-dvd-cover-juan-pablo-buscarini\" width=\"348\" height=\"491\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nIt's nice to see this film (known as \"El Arca\" in Spanish) get a US\/Canadian DVD release especially since it's been a few years since the film was originally released. Shout! Factory!, the company releasing the film on DVD, has done a great job bringing\u00a0some lesser known foreign animated films to the US, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/05\/03\/blu-ray-review-a-monster-in-paris-dont-judge-this-monster-by-its-cover\/\"><em>A Monster in Paris<\/em><\/a>, which was released on Blu-ray last year.\r\n\r\nI haven't seen <em>Noah's Ark<\/em>, but the 2D animation looks pretty nice and fun.

Pretty soon, animals are\u00a0lining up to board the Ark\u00a0two by two. But as the rain begins to fall outside, it soon becomes clear that living together on a very cramped ship isn\u2019t going to be easy!\r\n\r\nTrouble begins to brew when the animals begin to get hungry, a pair of stowaways plot to take over the ship, Dagnino the Tiger wants to replace the irresponsible Lion, Xiro, as king of the beasts and Noah\u2019s own family begins to squabble! One thing\u2019s for sure \u2013 it won\u2019t be smooth sailing on this trip.\u00a0But with a little luck and a little faith, Noah will be able to deliver his floating zoo to safety.<\/blockquote>\r\n<em>Noah's Ark\u00a0<\/em>will be available on DVD March 11, 2014.

But a photo appeared online, which features our first look at the robot Baymax!\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/baymax-robot-big-hero-6.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12238\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/baymax-robot-big-hero-6.jpg\" alt=\"baymax-robot-big-hero-6\" width=\"960\" height=\"408\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\nThe photo is of a from the <em>Big Hero 6<\/em> crew t-shirt and features the robot character himself. The photo was posted back in December on the Disney Animator's <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/photo.php?fbid=238425302991000&set=a.233657590134438.1073741828.233287670171430&type=1&relevant_count=1\">Facebook page<\/a>, which is the unofficial page for the Walt Disney Animation Studios Animation Department. According to Stephane Kardos, who is an art director at Disney, he designed this shirt for the <em>Big Hero 6<\/em> crew.\r\n\r\nBaymax is the fighting robot that Hiro Hamada creates to help fight crime and save his city of San Fransokyo.\u00a0We haven't been given much info about what the film's look and ultimate design except for a few <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/05\/09\/disney-officially-announces-big-hero-6-first-look\/\">background stills<\/a> and a short clip of San Fransokyo at night. Originally I thought Baymax had simple dots for eyes and a big goofy white grin. But turns out, that his eyes are <em>in<\/em> the white part. His head is tlited down and those black dots are the pointy parts of his helmet\/head.\r\n\r\nAt the D23 Expo, there was a Disney animation preview that gave audience members a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/08\/09\/disney-animation-confirms-upcoming-slate-and-then-some\/\">glimpse<\/a> of what to expect for Big Hero 6, although no stills of the characters were released. On the expo floor, just the silhouettes of the main characters--Hiro Hamada, Baymax, Wasabi No Ginger, Honey Lemon, Go-Go Tomago and Fred--were seen. I can't wait until Disney finally lets us see the whole picture of the <em>Big Hero 6<\/em>\u00a0crime-fighting gang!\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Big-Hero-6-characters.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12240\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Big-Hero-6-characters-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"big-hero-6-characters\" width=\"614\" height=\"461\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nIt's unlikely that we'll get any more info or photos about this film until summer. We didn't get trailers for <em>Frozen<\/em> or\u00a0<em>Wreck-It Ralph<\/em> until summer, so it appears that is Walt Disney Animation Studios' preferred marketing schedule. Although we could be surprised. I wouldn't complain if Disney broke the mold and gave us a bit more a little earlier than usual.\r\n\r\nBleeding Cool got some info about the film's plot and characters and collaborated with us to shoot a video about it. So if you want to learn more about <em>Big Hero 6\u00a0<\/em>and the characters, then definitely check that video out below.\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9zYVrAa-J0Y\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center><center><\/center>\r\nBig Hero 6 hits theatres November 7, 2014\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>How do you like Baymax's design?

When Surly and his mute rat friend, Buddy, discover that a nut shop is opening up, they come up with a plan to steal the nuts in what will be the biggest nut heist in history. However, things don't go as plan because Andie (Katherine Hiegl), one of the park squirrels, and a few other of the park animals find out, forcing Surly to work with them to get the nuts.\r\n\r\nYep,\u00a0<em>The Nut Job<\/em> is a story about squirrels stealing nuts. The film is based on a 2005 short called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=5y5ZRcsYP5o\">\"Surly Squirrel\"<\/a>, which was directed by the same director Peter Lepeniotis. The original short is actually pretty clever and fun, but that's because it's a short.\u00a0<em>The Nut Job<\/em>, on the other hand, tried to stretch out the tired plot into a feature film and the audience can fill it.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/the-nut-job-TNJ9_rgb.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12219\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/the-nut-job-TNJ9_rgb-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"the-nut-job-andie-surly\" width=\"430\" height=\"242\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nMuch like in \"Surly Squirrel\", there is a simultaneous story of humans trying to rob a bank. <i>In\u00a0<\/i><em>The Nut Job<\/em>, we\u00a0learn more about these human characters and their motives, but really, they are just fluff and filler that takes away from Surley's story. The film is also ambiguously set in the 1950s, which was nice to see a different era; however, the animal characters all take and use phrases straight out of the 21st century while the human characters have stereotypical\u00a0New York 1950s accents.\r\n\r\nI enjoyed Will Arnett as the appropriately named Surly. His gruff voice and performance made the movie fun. Who knew that such an ill-tempered main character would be so likable? Katherine Hiegl's performance, however, was horrible. I don't know if it was the script or just her delivery, but Andie was always very flat and uninteresting. She was supposed to be sort of an unbiased mediator between the park ruler Raccoon (Liam Neeson) and Surly, but that trait made her annoying and unlikable. Brendan Fraser voices a manly, swoon-worthy squirrel named Grayson, but I really didn't notice that character much because he's in and out of the action. Also, Maya Rudolph voices a pug named Precious, who is\u00a0one of the bank robber's pets. Precious is completely endearing and yet another great addition to pugs in animation.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/the-nut-job-TNJ5_rgb.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12223\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/the-nut-job-TNJ5_rgb-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"the-nut-job-precious-surly\" width=\"430\" height=\"242\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nFrom the trailer, the animation looks horrible. But upon watching, the animation was actually quite pleasant and pretty. Now, it's definitely not Disney or Pixar quality, but it's good enough that it doesn't distract throughout the movie. Actually, the textures of the animal's fur were really impressive and, at times, I wanted to reach out and touch Surly's tail. It's so fluffy!\r\n\r\nSpeaking of misleading trailer. The trailer for\u00a0<em>The Nut Job<\/em> is filled with fart jokes and cameos of Psy from \"Gangnam Style\" fame. And yes, while there are unfortunate flatulence jokes in the film, there really aren't that many. (Why am I defending this? There really isn't any good reason to ever have fart jokes.) Also, Psy, while prominent in the trailers, isn't a character in the actual movie, thankfully. Although, this might confuse audiences when he randomly appears in the ending credits bouncing and prancing around to \"Gangnam Style\" with the other film's actual cast of human and furry critters.\r\n\r\nI didn't hate\u00a0<em>The Nut Job.\u00a0<\/em>I found myself engaged in the plot, but at the same time not caring about certain characters like Andie and Grayson. I went in with low expectations, expecting the worse, and was actually surprised that it wasn't that bad. In the end, it was OK-ish.\u00a0I didn't love it, I didn't hate it. I was just pretty neutral. Now, would I recommend it to friends? Probably not unless they had kids and were desperate to take them to something new. But if it's your goal to see every animated film of 2014, then bite the bullet and go see\u00a0<em>The Nut Job<\/em>. You just might be surprised to see that it's different than the trailers make it out to be.\r\n<h3>\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h3>\r\n<center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9GFlxm83l4w\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>","post_title":"REVIEW - If You Go in with Low Expectations, 'The Nut Job' is OK-ish","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"if-you-go-in-with-low-expectations-the-nut-job-is-ok-ish","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2014-08-12 11:34:57","post_modified_gmt":"2014-08-12 18:34:57","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=12207","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"4","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12195,"post_author":"4","post_date":"2014-01-17 08:18:21","post_date_gmt":"2014-01-17 15:18:21","post_content":"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>It's big and LOUD!

Regarding animation nominees there were quite a few expected nominees as well as a few surprises.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/2014-oscar-nominations-best-animated-film.png\"><img class=\"alignright wp-image-12192\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/2014-oscar-nominations-best-animated-film.png\" alt=\"2014-oscar-nominations-best-animated-film\" width=\"613\" height=\"192\" \/><\/a>\r\n<h3>Best Animated Feature<\/h3>\r\nWhile the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/11\/05\/19-animated-films-up-for-2013-oscar-consideration\/\">consideration list<\/a>\u00a0was packed with 19 contender for Best Animated Feature, only five made the final cut. And the list of finalists isn't that surprising or unexpected.\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><em>The Croods\u00a0<\/em>(DreamWorks)<\/li>\r\n\t<li><em>Despicable Me 2\u00a0<\/em>(Illumination Entertainment)<\/li>\r\n\t<li><em>Ernest & Celestine\u00a0<\/em>(La Parti Productions\/Les Armateurs)<\/li>\r\n\t<li><em>Frozen <\/em>(Walt Disney Animation Studios)<\/li>\r\n\t<li><em>The Wind Rises\u00a0<\/em>(Studio Ghibli)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nNotably absent is Pixar's\u00a0<em>Monsters University<\/em>...yet again. The film was also\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/12\/12\/2014-golden-globe-nominations-frozen-croods-despicable-me-2-get-noms-mu-gets-snubbed\/\">snubbed<\/a> from the Golden Globe nominations so people thought maybe the Oscar nominations would be different. Well, apparently that wasn't the case.\u00a0And, not surprisingly,\u00a0Pixar and animation fans are in uproar about\u00a0it.\u00a0However, it is worth noting that\u00a0<em>MU<\/em>\u00a0is currently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/12\/02\/41st-annual-annie-awards-nominations-are-in\/\">nominated<\/a> in the Best Animated Feature category for the Annie Awards. So at least the animation industry is recognizing the merits of that film.\r\n\r\n<em>Frozen<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/01\/12\/golden-globes-results-are-in-frozen-takes-home-best-animated-feature\/\">won this category<\/a> for the Golden Globes earlier this week. Will it win it for the Oscars as well? Guess we'll have to wait and see.\r\n<h3>Best Short Film - Animated<\/h3>\r\nThis is always an interesting category because it is filled with many lesser known animated shorts.\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><em>Feral<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li><em>Get a Horse!<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li><em>Mr. Hublet<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li><em>Possessions<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li><em>Room on the Broom<\/em><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nAgain, Pixar's\u00a0<em>The Blue Umbrella<\/em> didn't make the list. While the film was technically brilliant, the story wasn't very original (very similar to Disney's <em>Paperman<\/em> and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=TkFbfRRquzA\">Johnny Fedora and Alice Blue Bonnet<\/a>).\r\n\r\n<i>Disney's\u00a0<\/i><em>Get a Horse!<\/em>, which played in front of Frozen was nominated and seems to be the only short that was attached to a 2013 theatrical film. This category is always such a wild card because you never know who is going to win. Sometimes you think the big studio has it, but then a little independent studio ends up winning.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite things that has happened in recent years is the ability to watch all the Oscar nominated shorts in theatres. Usually you can only see these at select theatres, but I just noticed that my local theatre chain is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.harkinstheatres.com\/movieDetails.aspx?movieId=176806\">offering showings<\/a> of the 2014 Oscar-nominated short films, both animated and live action. So definitely check your local theatre listings to see if you can watch the shorts in your home town.\r\n<h3>Best Original Song<\/h3>\r\nThis category usually is a grab bag of all films from a variety of genres and mediums. Animated films frequently make the list, especially if a Disney animated musical was released that year. Here are the songs from animated films that were nominated:\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>\"Happy\" from <em>Despicable Me 2<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li>\"Let It Go\" from <em>Frozen<\/em><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nNo surprise that Frozen's \"Let It Go\" was nominated because it seems that song has captivated the world. \"Happy\" from\u00a0<em>Despicable Me 2<\/em> was a surprise, especially since it wasn't nominated for the Golden Globes.\u00a0<em>Frozen\u00a0<\/em>didn't win best song for the Golden Globes, but it would be nice to see it grab the trophy for the Oscars. If anything, hopefully we can get an Idina Menzel live performance of \"Let It Go\" during the awards ceremony.\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/moSFlvxnbgk\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center><center><\/center><center><\/center><center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Q-GLuydiMe4\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\r\nDisney fans were hoping that Frozen would get a <i>Best Picture nomination, but that didn't happen. While it's not unheard of for animated films to get nominated, it still is pretty rare. Some may argue that the Academy is biased to animated films when it comes to Best Picture. To do, no animated film has ever won the category.<\/i>\r\n\r\nThe 86th annual Academy Awards will air on ABC on Sunday, March 2, 2014 at 7 EST\/4 PST.\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>What do you think about the nominations?

Movies<\/a>\u00a0released an all-new trailer to DisneyToon Studios new film\u00a0<strong><em>Planes: Fire and Rescue<\/em><\/strong>. It is similar to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/10\/28\/planes-2-trailer-debuts\/\">first trailer<\/a>, but there are some new scenes, characters and moments.\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"http:\/\/movies.yahoo.com\/video\/planes-fire-rescue-trailer-162027131.html?format=embed&player_autoplay=false\" width=\"624\" height=\"351\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center> \r\n\r\nThe first half of the trailer shows the danger and seriousness of the fire-and-rescue squad. It's definitely not all fun in games like in the first\u00a0<em>Planes<\/em> film. We do get introduced to our hero, Dusty Crophopper, and that's where the mood lightens up a bit. I really like the tone and subject manner of this\u00a0<em>Planes<\/em> film compared to the race theme of the first film. To me,\u00a0<em>Planes: Fire and Rescue<\/em> seems like it will be a lot more interesting because of this new setting. This is more of what I was expecting and I'm happy to see DisneyToon Studios get it right. Also, it looks like the cast will be almost entirely new besides Dane Cook as Dusty.\r\n\r\nCheck out the plot synopsis:\r\n<blockquote><i>Planes: Fire & Rescue<\/i>\u00a0is a new comedy-adventure about second chances, featuring a dynamic crew of elite\u00a0firefighting aircraft devoted to protecting historic Piston Peak National Park from raging wildfires. When world famous air racer Dusty (voice of Dane Cook) learns that his engine is damaged and he may never race again, he must shift gears and is launched into the world of aerial firefighting. Dusty joins forces with veteran fire and rescue helicopter Blade Ranger and his courageous team, including spirited super scooper Dipper (voice of Julie Bowen), heavy-lift helicopter Windlifter, ex-miltary transport Cabbie and a lively bunch of brave all-terrain vehicles known as The Smokejumpers. Together the fearless team battles a massive wildfire and Dusty learns what it takes to become a true hero.<\/blockquote>\r\n<em>Planes: Fire and Rescue<\/em> hits theatres in the heat of summer on July 18, 2014.\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Are you excited to 'Planes 2'?

Shout! Factory!, the company releasing the film on DVD, has done a great job bringing\u00a0some lesser known foreign animated films to the US, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/05\/03\/blu-ray-review-a-monster-in-paris-dont-judge-this-monster-by-its-cover\/\"><em>A Monster in Paris<\/em><\/a>, which was released on Blu-ray last year.\r\n\r\nI haven't seen <em>Noah's Ark<\/em>, but the 2D animation looks pretty nice and fun.

But a photo appeared online, which features our first look at the robot Baymax!\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/baymax-robot-big-hero-6.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12238\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/baymax-robot-big-hero-6.jpg\" alt=\"baymax-robot-big-hero-6\" width=\"960\" height=\"408\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\nThe photo is of a from the <em>Big Hero 6<\/em> crew t-shirt and features the robot character himself. The photo was posted back in December on the Disney Animator's <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/photo.php?fbid=238425302991000&set=a.233657590134438.1073741828.233287670171430&type=1&relevant_count=1\">Facebook page<\/a>, which is the unofficial page for the Walt Disney Animation Studios Animation Department. According to Stephane Kardos, who is an art director at Disney, he designed this shirt for the <em>Big Hero 6<\/em> crew.\r\n\r\nBaymax is the fighting robot that Hiro Hamada creates to help fight crime and save his city of San Fransokyo.\u00a0We haven't been given much info about what the film's look and ultimate design except for a few <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/05\/09\/disney-officially-announces-big-hero-6-first-look\/\">background stills<\/a> and a short clip of San Fransokyo at night. Originally I thought Baymax had simple dots for eyes and a big goofy white grin. But turns out, that his eyes are <em>in<\/em> the white part. His head is tlited down and those black dots are the pointy parts of his helmet\/head.\r\n\r\nAt the D23 Expo, there was a Disney animation preview that gave audience members a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/08\/09\/disney-animation-confirms-upcoming-slate-and-then-some\/\">glimpse<\/a> of what to expect for Big Hero 6, although no stills of the characters were released. On the expo floor, just the silhouettes of the main characters--Hiro Hamada, Baymax, Wasabi No Ginger, Honey Lemon, Go-Go Tomago and Fred--were seen. I can't wait until Disney finally lets us see the whole picture of the <em>Big Hero 6<\/em>\u00a0crime-fighting gang!\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Big-Hero-6-characters.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12240\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Big-Hero-6-characters-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"big-hero-6-characters\" width=\"614\" height=\"461\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nIt's unlikely that we'll get any more info or photos about this film until summer. We didn't get trailers for <em>Frozen<\/em> or\u00a0<em>Wreck-It Ralph<\/em> until summer, so it appears that is Walt Disney Animation Studios' preferred marketing schedule. Although we could be surprised. I wouldn't complain if Disney broke the mold and gave us a bit more a little earlier than usual.\r\n\r\nBleeding Cool got some info about the film's plot and characters and collaborated with us to shoot a video about it.

When Surly and his mute rat friend, Buddy, discover that a nut shop is opening up, they come up with a plan to steal the nuts in what will be the biggest nut heist in history. However, things don't go as plan because Andie (Katherine Hiegl), one of the park squirrels, and a few other of the park animals find out, forcing Surly to work with them to get the nuts.\r\n\r\nYep,\u00a0<em>The Nut Job<\/em> is a story about squirrels stealing nuts. The film is based on a 2005 short called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=5y5ZRcsYP5o\">\"Surly Squirrel\"<\/a>, which was directed by the same director Peter Lepeniotis. The original short is actually pretty clever and fun, but that's because it's a short.\u00a0<em>The Nut Job<\/em>, on the other hand, tried to stretch out the tired plot into a feature film and the audience can fill it.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/the-nut-job-TNJ9_rgb.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12219\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/the-nut-job-TNJ9_rgb-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"the-nut-job-andie-surly\" width=\"430\" height=\"242\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nMuch like in \"Surly Squirrel\", there is a simultaneous story of humans trying to rob a bank. <i>In\u00a0<\/i><em>The Nut Job<\/em>, we\u00a0learn more about these human characters and their motives, but really, they are just fluff and filler that takes away from Surley's story. The film is also ambiguously set in the 1950s, which was nice to see a different era; however, the animal characters all take and use phrases straight out of the 21st century while the human characters have stereotypical\u00a0New York 1950s accents.\r\n\r\nI enjoyed Will Arnett as the appropriately named Surly. His gruff voice and performance made the movie fun. Who knew that such an ill-tempered main character would be so likable? Katherine Hiegl's performance, however, was horrible. I don't know if it was the script or just her delivery, but Andie was always very flat and uninteresting. She was supposed to be sort of an unbiased mediator between the park ruler Raccoon (Liam Neeson) and Surly, but that trait made her annoying and unlikable. Brendan Fraser voices a manly, swoon-worthy squirrel named Grayson, but I really didn't notice that character much because he's in and out of the action. Also, Maya Rudolph voices a pug named Precious, who is\u00a0one of the bank robber's pets. Precious is completely endearing and yet another great addition to pugs in animation.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/the-nut-job-TNJ5_rgb.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12223\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/the-nut-job-TNJ5_rgb-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"the-nut-job-precious-surly\" width=\"430\" height=\"242\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nFrom the trailer, the animation looks horrible. But upon watching, the animation was actually quite pleasant and pretty. Now, it's definitely not Disney or Pixar quality, but it's good enough that it doesn't distract throughout the movie. Actually, the textures of the animal's fur were really impressive and, at times, I wanted to reach out and touch Surly's tail. It's so fluffy!\r\n\r\nSpeaking of misleading trailer. The trailer for\u00a0<em>The Nut Job<\/em> is filled with fart jokes and cameos of Psy from \"Gangnam Style\" fame. And yes, while there are unfortunate flatulence jokes in the film, there really aren't that many. (Why am I defending this? There really isn't any good reason to ever have fart jokes.) Also, Psy, while prominent in the trailers, isn't a character in the actual movie, thankfully. Although, this might confuse audiences when he randomly appears in the ending credits bouncing and prancing around to \"Gangnam Style\" with the other film's actual cast of human and furry critters.\r\n\r\nI didn't hate\u00a0<em>The Nut Job.\u00a0<\/em>I found myself engaged in the plot, but at the same time not caring about certain characters like Andie and Grayson. I went in with low expectations, expecting the worse, and was actually surprised that it wasn't that bad. In the end, it was OK-ish.\u00a0I didn't love it, I didn't hate it. I was just pretty neutral. Now, would I recommend it to friends? Probably not unless they had kids and were desperate to take them to something new. But if it's your goal to see every animated film of 2014, then bite the bullet and go see\u00a0<em>The Nut Job<\/em>. You just might be surprised to see that it's different than the trailers make it out to be.\r\n<h3>\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h3>\r\n<center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9GFlxm83l4w\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>","post_title":"REVIEW - If You Go in with Low Expectations, 'The Nut Job' is OK-ish","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"if-you-go-in-with-low-expectations-the-nut-job-is-ok-ish","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2014-08-12 11:34:57","post_modified_gmt":"2014-08-12 18:34:57","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=12207","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"4","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12195,"post_author":"4","post_date":"2014-01-17 08:18:21","post_date_gmt":"2014-01-17 15:18:21","post_content":"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>It's big and LOUD!

Well, apparently that wasn't the case.\u00a0And, not surprisingly,\u00a0Pixar and animation fans are in uproar about\u00a0it.\u00a0However, it is worth noting that\u00a0<em>MU<\/em>\u00a0is currently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/12\/02\/41st-annual-annie-awards-nominations-are-in\/\">nominated<\/a> in the Best Animated Feature category for the Annie Awards. So at least the animation industry is recognizing the merits of that film.\r\n\r\n<em>Frozen<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/01\/12\/golden-globes-results-are-in-frozen-takes-home-best-animated-feature\/\">won this category<\/a> for the Golden Globes earlier this week. Will it win it for the Oscars as well? Guess we'll have to wait and see.\r\n<h3>Best Short Film - Animated<\/h3>\r\nThis is always an interesting category because it is filled with many lesser known animated shorts.\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><em>Feral<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li><em>Get a Horse!<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li><em>Mr. Hublet<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li><em>Possessions<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li><em>Room on the Broom<\/em><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nAgain, Pixar's\u00a0<em>The Blue Umbrella<\/em> didn't make the list. While the film was technically brilliant, the story wasn't very original (very similar to Disney's <em>Paperman<\/em> and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=TkFbfRRquzA\">Johnny Fedora and Alice Blue Bonnet<\/a>).\r\n\r\n<i>Disney's\u00a0<\/i><em>Get a Horse!<\/em>, which played in front of Frozen was nominated and seems to be the only short that was attached to a 2013 theatrical film. This category is always such a wild card because you never know who is going to win. Sometimes you think the big studio has it, but then a little independent studio ends up winning.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite things that has happened in recent years is the ability to watch all the Oscar nominated shorts in theatres. Usually you can only see these at select theatres, but I just noticed that my local theatre chain is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.harkinstheatres.com\/movieDetails.aspx?movieId=176806\">offering showings<\/a> of the 2014 Oscar-nominated short films, both animated and live action. So definitely check your local theatre listings to see if you can watch the shorts in your home town.\r\n<h3>Best Original Song<\/h3>\r\nThis category usually is a grab bag of all films from a variety of genres and mediums. Animated films frequently make the list, especially if a Disney animated musical was released that year. Here are the songs from animated films that were nominated:\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>\"Happy\" from <em>Despicable Me 2<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li>\"Let It Go\" from <em>Frozen<\/em><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nNo surprise that Frozen's \"Let It Go\" was nominated because it seems that song has captivated the world. \"Happy\" from\u00a0<em>Despicable Me 2<\/em> was a surprise, especially since it wasn't nominated for the Golden Globes.\u00a0<em>Frozen\u00a0<\/em>didn't win best song for the Golden Globes, but it would be nice to see it grab the trophy for the Oscars. If anything, hopefully we can get an Idina Menzel live performance of \"Let It Go\" during the awards ceremony.\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/moSFlvxnbgk\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center><center><\/center><center><\/center><center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Q-GLuydiMe4\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\r\nDisney fans were hoping that Frozen would get a <i>Best Picture nomination, but that didn't happen. While it's not unheard of for animated films to get nominated, it still is pretty rare. Some may argue that the Academy is biased to animated films when it comes to Best Picture. To do, no animated film has ever won the category.<\/i>\r\n\r\nThe 86th annual Academy Awards will air on ABC on Sunday, March 2, 2014 at 7 EST\/4 PST.\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>What do you think about the nominations?
