A conference call with Disney songwriters and legends Alan Menken and Richard Sherman, where they talk about their upcoming concert where they'll sing from \"The Disney Songbook.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
<\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:html -->\r\n<div>\"It's like Comic Con with Better Security!\" -Robert Downy Jr.<\/div>\r\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<div>This is a great interview with many of the writers from major Disney fan outlets. The first 15 minuets are questions just for <strong>Alan Menken<\/strong>.<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>What are your favorite songs in the Disney Song Book? (outside of your own)<\/li>\r\n<li>What songs are you most excited to share?<\/li>\r\n<li>What is it about the Disney Song book that touches people?<\/li>\r\n<li>What is it like for you to perform for Disney Fans?<\/li>\r\n<li>How do you go about writing your songs?<\/li>\r\n<li>\"You want to poke fun but you don't want to poke fun in a way that is hurtful.\"<\/li>\r\n<li>\"The story doesn't get written without us.\" \"We are very involved in the writing process.\"<\/li>\r\n<li>Do you have a say in who sings the songs?<\/li>\r\n<li>Will there be any 'Fan Boy' nervousness when you perform with Richard Sherman?<\/li>\r\n<li>Which of your more obscure Disney songs are you most proud of?<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div>After which, we were joined by <strong>Richard Sherman<\/strong> when they were asked how the Concert would flow. Was it difficult choosing your songs? They'll share a little about how they got into Disney and some of their Non-Disney material as well. Both will share highlights in their careers and a few lesser known numbers.<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>What movies would you both love to see go to the stage.<\/li>\r\n<li>What songs were surprise hits?<\/li>\r\n<li>\"'Disney' is a wonderful platform for non-cynical material\"<\/li>\r\n<li>Which of the other's songs do you like the best?<\/li>\r\n<li>What are you looking most forward to at the D23 Expo? - \"Friends\"<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div><i>I felt like this interview was very open. I think the fact that they don't do press conferences a lot, even fewer together, that left them a lot more natural in answering questions. It felt almost like it was just a phone call between the two of them at times. I loved hearing the respect and appreciation between the two Disney Legends.\u00a0<\/i><\/div>\r\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<div>After Mr Menken was released, Richard Sherman (85 years) entertained the press as he talked about <em>Mary Poppins<\/em>, <em>Chitty chitty Bang Bang<\/em> and song writing.<\/div>\r\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Did (the late) Robert Sherman know the appreciation of the Disney fans? Did he enjoy performing?<\/li>\r\n<li>What song was the most challenging to write?<\/li>\r\n<li>What songs do most people talk to you about?<\/li>\r\n<li>Walt's favorite song<\/li>\r\n<li>What is the difference between writing for a Movie VS an attraction?<\/li>\r\n<li>You have written many catchy and memorable songs. How do you do that without being repetitive?<\/li>\r\n<li>I have a good time. I've always been blessed to do what I love to do: writing songs<\/li>\r\n<li>\"We didn't write the songs for the actors.

When this desperate attempt to get him back fails, the doctor puts her under the care of her mom with who Imogene hasn\u2019t spoken to in years. Imogene thinks this is a punishment worse than death and must learn to reconnect with her broken family.\r\n\r\nImogene\u2019s family is quite interesting. Her mother, Zelda (<strong>Annette Bening<\/strong>), is a New Jersey gambling addict who has a live-in boyfriend named \u201cGeorge Bush\u201d (pronounced boo-sh) (<strong>Matt Dillon<\/strong>), who supposedly works for the FBI. Her brother, Ralph (<strong>Christopher Fitzgerald<\/strong>), is a hermit in all senses of the world: he avoids external social contact at all costs and also owns a hermit crab shop on the beach. And, while not a family member, there\u2019s Lee (<strong>Darren Criss<\/strong>), a casino singer who is renting out Imogene\u2019s old room.\r\n\r\nAnd it goes on from there.\r\n\r\nThe best I can describe this movie is a more modern-day Napoleon Dynamite, except not as funny or delightful. At times I thought, \u201cWow, there really could be a family like this somewhere in New Jersey.\u201d And other times, the plot and scenarios were so bizarre and crazy you just had to laugh about it.\r\n\r\nKristen Wiig is a true comedic actress and whenever she\u2019s on screen, she steals the show. But unfortunately, this screenplay didn\u2019t give Wiig a lot to work with. The character of Imogene is a bit despicable and you don\u2019t really root for her.\r\n\r\nHonestly, I was excited to see Darren Criss in one of his first big screen appearances, but he also fell a bit flat\u2026except for the part where he sings.\r\n\r\nBizarre, quirky, and somewhat funny. If you\u2019re a Kristen Wiig or Darren Criss fan, you might want to check <em>Girl Most Likely<\/em> out, otherwise, you skip it and you won't be missing much.\r\n\r\n\u2605\u2605","post_title":"'Girl Most Likely' Is Unlikely To Be A Hit","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"girl-most-likely-is-unlikely-to-be-a-hit","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2013-09-25 17:19:11","post_modified_gmt":"2013-09-26 00:19:11","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/www.therotoscopers.com\/?p=6640","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":6630,"post_author":"4","post_date":"2013-08-07 21:29:41","post_date_gmt":"2013-08-08 04:29:41","post_content":"The D23 Expo is always chock full of great panels, exhibiters and, of course, merchandise.

Personally, I really like the look of the dolls...except for that crazy hairdo on Elsa. Holy moly, bouffant!\r\n\r\nNow regarding the faces, there seems to be some controversy on the design. Some hate them and some love them. I'm on team \"love them.\" I really like how their faces actually look like their CGI counterparts. (Trust me, some of my old Disney Barbies looked nothing like the real thing, so actually being able to see the resemblance is nice).\r\n\r\nHere's the official blurb about the Anna & Elsa Doll Set from the <a href=\"https:\/\/d23.com\/disney-consumer-products-preview-at-d23-expo\/\">D23 Expo website<\/a>:\r\n<blockquote><strong>Anna and Elsa Doll Set \u2013 Frozen \u2013 11\u201d<\/strong>\r\nJoin the adventure with a pair of lovely dolls inspired by Walt Disney Animation Studios\u2019\u00a0<em>Frozen<\/em>.

Turns out that the sequel, entitled\u00a0<em>Alpha and Omega 2: A Howl-iday Adventure<\/em>, is\u00a0a direct-to-video sequel, which will be available October 8.\r\n\r\nThe sequel follows the adventures of Kate, Humphrey and their three cubs. But when the runt of the litter, who's creatively named Runt, suddenly disappears, the family must travel across the wilderness to find him and bring him back.\r\n\r\nWhile not directly a Christmas film, <em>Alpha and Omega 2<\/em> certainly seems to want to position itself to capture some of the lucrative Christmas DVD market. The pine trees covered in snow on the cover and 'Howl-iday' in the cover seemed to give it away.\r\n\r\nHere's the official synopsis below:\r\n<blockquote>\u201cKate, Humphrey and their 3 wolf cubs (Stinky, Claudette and Runt) are happily preparing to celebrate their first winter together when their smallest cub, Runt, mysteriously disappears. They must now go on a new journey across the wilderness to find Runt and bring him back before the snow blocks their way home. It\u2019s their greatest adventure yet, filled with action and suspense as well as plenty of the humor and heartwarming moments that were delivered in the first theatrical release. While their adventure does not end exactly as planned, Kate & Humphrey discover that \u2018Home is where the Family Is.\u2019\u201d<\/blockquote>\r\nI never saw the first Alpha and Omega, but the film did marginally well. It made $50 million in the box office, and with a $20 million budget, that's not that shabby of a return on investment.\u00a0<em>Alpha and Omega 2: A Howl-iday\u00a0Adventure\u00a0<\/em>will be the first in a series of direct-to-video films.\r\n\r\nConsidering it's a direct-to-video sequel, the majority of the original cast has returned (making us think that this was set for a theatrical release at some point). The cast includes returnees\u00a0<strong>Justin Lang<\/strong> as Humphrey, <strong>Hayden Panettiere<\/strong> as Kate, <strong>Christina Ricci<\/strong> as Lilly, <strong>Chris Carmack<\/strong> as Garth, <strong>Danny Glover<\/strong> as Winston, and\u00a0<strong>Vicki Lewis<\/strong> as Eve. It also includes newcomers <strong>Jane Lynch<\/strong> as Terra, <strong>Ed Asner<\/strong> as Slash and <strong>Aziz Ansari<\/strong> as Simon Piglet.\r\n\r\n<em>Alpha and Omega 2: A Howl-iday\u00a0Adventure<\/em> hits DVD, Blu-ray and VOD on October 8, 2013.\r\n\r\nWatch the trailer below!\r\n<h3><em>Are you excited for\u00a0Alpha and Omega 2?

When this desperate attempt to get him back fails, the doctor puts her under the care of her mom with who Imogene hasn\u2019t spoken to in years. Imogene thinks this is a punishment worse than death and must learn to reconnect with her broken family.\r\n\r\nImogene\u2019s family is quite interesting. Her mother, Zelda (<strong>Annette Bening<\/strong>), is a New Jersey gambling addict who has a live-in boyfriend named \u201cGeorge Bush\u201d (pronounced boo-sh) (<strong>Matt Dillon<\/strong>), who supposedly works for the FBI. Her brother, Ralph (<strong>Christopher Fitzgerald<\/strong>), is a hermit in all senses of the world: he avoids external social contact at all costs and also owns a hermit crab shop on the beach. And, while not a family member, there\u2019s Lee (<strong>Darren Criss<\/strong>), a casino singer who is renting out Imogene\u2019s old room.\r\n\r\nAnd it goes on from there.\r\n\r\nThe best I can describe this movie is a more modern-day Napoleon Dynamite, except not as funny or delightful. At times I thought, \u201cWow, there really could be a family like this somewhere in New Jersey.\u201d And other times, the plot and scenarios were so bizarre and crazy you just had to laugh about it.\r\n\r\nKristen Wiig is a true comedic actress and whenever she\u2019s on screen, she steals the show. But unfortunately, this screenplay didn\u2019t give Wiig a lot to work with. The character of Imogene is a bit despicable and you don\u2019t really root for her.\r\n\r\nHonestly, I was excited to see Darren Criss in one of his first big screen appearances, but he also fell a bit flat\u2026except for the part where he sings.\r\n\r\nBizarre, quirky, and somewhat funny. If you\u2019re a Kristen Wiig or Darren Criss fan, you might want to check <em>Girl Most Likely<\/em> out, otherwise, you skip it and you won't be missing much.\r\n\r\n\u2605\u2605","post_title":"'Girl Most Likely' Is Unlikely To Be A Hit","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"girl-most-likely-is-unlikely-to-be-a-hit","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2013-09-25 17:19:11","post_modified_gmt":"2013-09-26 00:19:11","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/www.therotoscopers.com\/?p=6640","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":6630,"post_author":"4","post_date":"2013-08-07 21:29:41","post_date_gmt":"2013-08-08 04:29:41","post_content":"The D23 Expo is always chock full of great panels, exhibiters and, of course, merchandise.

Some hate them and some love them. I'm on team \"love them.\" I really like how their faces actually look like their CGI counterparts.

Turns out that the sequel, entitled\u00a0<em>Alpha and Omega 2: A Howl-iday Adventure<\/em>, is\u00a0a direct-to-video sequel, which will be available October 8.\r\n\r\nThe sequel follows the adventures of Kate, Humphrey and their three cubs. But when the runt of the litter, who's creatively named Runt, suddenly disappears, the family must travel across the wilderness to find him and bring him back.\r\n\r\nWhile not directly a Christmas film, <em>Alpha and Omega 2<\/em> certainly seems to want to position itself to capture some of the lucrative Christmas DVD market. The pine trees covered in snow on the cover and 'Howl-iday' in the cover seemed to give it away.\r\n\r\nHere's the official synopsis below:\r\n<blockquote>\u201cKate, Humphrey and their 3 wolf cubs (Stinky, Claudette and Runt) are happily preparing to celebrate their first winter together when their smallest cub, Runt, mysteriously disappears. They must now go on a new journey across the wilderness to find Runt and bring him back before the snow blocks their way home. It\u2019s their greatest adventure yet, filled with action and suspense as well as plenty of the humor and heartwarming moments that were delivered in the first theatrical release. While their adventure does not end exactly as planned, Kate & Humphrey discover that \u2018Home is where the Family Is.\u2019\u201d<\/blockquote>\r\nI never saw the first Alpha and Omega, but the film did marginally well. It made $50 million in the box office, and with a $20 million budget, that's not that shabby of a return on investment.\u00a0<em>Alpha and Omega 2: A Howl-iday\u00a0Adventure\u00a0<\/em>will be the first in a series of direct-to-video films.\r\n\r\nConsidering it's a direct-to-video sequel, the majority of the original cast has returned (making us think that this was set for a theatrical release at some point).

When this desperate attempt to get him back fails, the doctor puts her under the care of her mom with who Imogene hasn\u2019t spoken to in years. Imogene thinks this is a punishment worse than death and must learn to reconnect with her broken family.\r\n\r\nImogene\u2019s family is quite interesting. Her mother, Zelda (<strong>Annette Bening<\/strong>), is a New Jersey gambling addict who has a live-in boyfriend named \u201cGeorge Bush\u201d (pronounced boo-sh) (<strong>Matt Dillon<\/strong>), who supposedly works for the FBI. Her brother, Ralph (<strong>Christopher Fitzgerald<\/strong>), is a hermit in all senses of the world: he avoids external social contact at all costs and also owns a hermit crab shop on the beach. And, while not a family member, there\u2019s Lee (<strong>Darren Criss<\/strong>), a casino singer who is renting out Imogene\u2019s old room.\r\n\r\nAnd it goes on from there.\r\n\r\nThe best I can describe this movie is a more modern-day Napoleon Dynamite, except not as funny or delightful. At times I thought, \u201cWow, there really could be a family like this somewhere in New Jersey.\u201d And other times, the plot and scenarios were so bizarre and crazy you just had to laugh about it.\r\n\r\nKristen Wiig is a true comedic actress and whenever she\u2019s on screen, she steals the show. But unfortunately, this screenplay didn\u2019t give Wiig a lot to work with. The character of Imogene is a bit despicable and you don\u2019t really root for her.\r\n\r\nHonestly, I was excited to see Darren Criss in one of his first big screen appearances, but he also fell a bit flat\u2026except for the part where he sings.\r\n\r\nBizarre, quirky, and somewhat funny. If you\u2019re a Kristen Wiig or Darren Criss fan, you might want to check <em>Girl Most Likely<\/em> out, otherwise, you skip it and you won't be missing much.\r\n\r\n\u2605\u2605","post_title":"'Girl Most Likely' Is Unlikely To Be A Hit","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"girl-most-likely-is-unlikely-to-be-a-hit","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2013-09-25 17:19:11","post_modified_gmt":"2013-09-26 00:19:11","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/www.therotoscopers.com\/?p=6640","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":6630,"post_author":"4","post_date":"2013-08-07 21:29:41","post_date_gmt":"2013-08-08 04:29:41","post_content":"The D23 Expo is always chock full of great panels, exhibiters and, of course, merchandise.

Personally, I really like the look of the dolls...except for that crazy hairdo on Elsa. Holy moly, bouffant!\r\n\r\nNow regarding the faces, there seems to be some controversy on the design. Some hate them and some love them. I'm on team \"love them.\" I really like how their faces actually look like their CGI counterparts. (Trust me, some of my old Disney Barbies looked nothing like the real thing, so actually being able to see the resemblance is nice).\r\n\r\nHere's the official blurb about the Anna & Elsa Doll Set from the <a href=\"https:\/\/d23.com\/disney-consumer-products-preview-at-d23-expo\/\">D23 Expo website<\/a>:\r\n<blockquote><strong>Anna and Elsa Doll Set \u2013 Frozen \u2013 11\u201d<\/strong>\r\nJoin the adventure with a pair of lovely dolls inspired by Walt Disney Animation Studios\u2019\u00a0<em>Frozen<\/em>.

Turns out that the sequel, entitled\u00a0<em>Alpha and Omega 2: A Howl-iday Adventure<\/em>, is\u00a0a direct-to-video sequel, which will be available October 8.\r\n\r\nThe sequel follows the adventures of Kate, Humphrey and their three cubs. But when the runt of the litter, who's creatively named Runt, suddenly disappears, the family must travel across the wilderness to find him and bring him back.\r\n\r\nWhile not directly a Christmas film, <em>Alpha and Omega 2<\/em> certainly seems to want to position itself to capture some of the lucrative Christmas DVD market. The pine trees covered in snow on the cover and 'Howl-iday' in the cover seemed to give it away.\r\n\r\nHere's the official synopsis below:\r\n<blockquote>\u201cKate, Humphrey and their 3 wolf cubs (Stinky, Claudette and Runt) are happily preparing to celebrate their first winter together when their smallest cub, Runt, mysteriously disappears. They must now go on a new journey across the wilderness to find Runt and bring him back before the snow blocks their way home. It\u2019s their greatest adventure yet, filled with action and suspense as well as plenty of the humor and heartwarming moments that were delivered in the first theatrical release. While their adventure does not end exactly as planned, Kate & Humphrey discover that \u2018Home is where the Family Is.\u2019\u201d<\/blockquote>\r\nI never saw the first Alpha and Omega, but the film did marginally well. It made $50 million in the box office, and with a $20 million budget, that's not that shabby of a return on investment.\u00a0<em>Alpha and Omega 2: A Howl-iday\u00a0Adventure\u00a0<\/em>will be the first in a series of direct-to-video films.\r\n\r\nConsidering it's a direct-to-video sequel, the majority of the original cast has returned (making us think that this was set for a theatrical release at some point). The cast includes returnees\u00a0<strong>Justin Lang<\/strong> as Humphrey, <strong>Hayden Panettiere<\/strong> as Kate, <strong>Christina Ricci<\/strong> as Lilly, <strong>Chris Carmack<\/strong> as Garth, <strong>Danny Glover<\/strong> as Winston, and\u00a0<strong>Vicki Lewis<\/strong> as Eve. It also includes newcomers <strong>Jane Lynch<\/strong> as Terra, <strong>Ed Asner<\/strong> as Slash and <strong>Aziz Ansari<\/strong> as Simon Piglet.\r\n\r\n<em>Alpha and Omega 2: A Howl-iday\u00a0Adventure<\/em> hits DVD, Blu-ray and VOD on October 8, 2013.\r\n\r\nWatch the trailer below!\r\n<h3><em>Are you excited for\u00a0Alpha and Omega 2?

And as the movie's release date draws closer, more and more\u00a0<em>Frozen\u00a0<\/em>merchandise is beginning to pop up on the internet, including books!\r\n\r\nSo far, there are about 20+\u00a0<em>Frozen<\/em>\u00a0storybooks set to be released--and counting! These include storybooks, chapter books, read-along books, coloring books, sticker books and so on. The art on these books are gorgeous and illustrated by the incredibly talented folks at RH Disney, Disney Publishing, and more. Since we could stare at these book covers for hours, we decided to bring you <em>all<\/em> of them in one place!\r\n\r\nSome of these books have little snippets available so you can get a look inside the book. One of the chapter books shows the entire first chapter, while one of the picture book basically reveals the entire first act of the movie. So be careful about thumbing throw these (online and in stores) because you might get spoiled!\r\n\r\nThe majority of the book will be release on October 1, 2013, while a few of them will be released at later dates. You can pre-order and buy the books at Amazon, using our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/amazon\">affiliate link<\/a> to help support the site.

we are beginning to see a lot of merchandise begin to make its way online. One of these is the cover for the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1452117160\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1452117160&linkCode=as2&tag=therotos-20\"><em>Art of Frozen<\/em><\/a>, a making-of book dedicated to the art, design, and creation of\u00a0<em>Frozen<\/em>.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1452117160\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1452117160&linkCode=as2&tag=therotos-20\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6916\"><img class=\" wp-image-6916 \" alt=\"the-art-of-frozen-cover-disney\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/9950114_orig.jpg\" width=\"503\" height=\"422\" \/><\/a> Seems a bit bland, don't you think?[\/caption]\r\n\r\nNormally, Disney's art-of books' covers feature never-before-seen images from the concept development stage.<em> The Art of Frozen<\/em> cover, however, doesn't show us anything new, but rather uses the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2012\/12\/13\/first-concept-art-from-disneys-frozen\/\">first official piece of artwork<\/a> that Disney unveiled to the public last year. The art shows our heroine Anna, and her companion Kristoff, as they are trekking across the icy wilderness to find Anna's sister Elsa.\r\n\r\nThe cover was can be found on page 30 of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.chroniclebooks.com\/our-company\/catalogs\">Chronicle Books Adult Trade Fall 2013<\/a>. Honestly, if I didn't see for myself that it was posted in Chronicle's official publication, I would think that this cover is a fake. Doesn't it just seem a bit bland? It's definitely out of the ordinary than Disney's most recent covers such as <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2012\/07\/09\/the-art-of-wreck-it-ralph-cover-revealed\/\">The Art of Wreck-It Ralph<\/a><\/em>\u00a0and<em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/0811875555\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0811875555&linkCode=as2&tag=therotos-20\"> The Art of Tangled<\/a>.\r\n<\/em>\r\n\r\nRegarding whether this is the final cover, our writer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/author\/kyle-ostrum\/\">Kyle Ostrum<\/a> pointed out:\r\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Rotoscopers\">@Rotoscopers<\/a> Usually the first cover unveiled is the first bit of concept art revealed, but then the real cover ends up being something else\r\n\r\n\u2014 Kyle (@DeLuxODonnell92) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DeLuxODonnell92\/statuses\/372426385572110337\">August 27, 2013<\/a><\/blockquote>\r\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Rotoscopers\">@Rotoscopers<\/a> IMO, it's sly a move so that they can keep a good piece of concept art from you until the book comes out.\r\n\r\n\u2014 Kyle (@DeLuxODonnell92) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DeLuxODonnell92\/statuses\/372426490966593536\">August 27, 2013<\/a><\/blockquote>\r\nSo I guess we will find out in the next few months if this cover sticks or gets replaced. (I'm really hoping for the latter here.)\r\n\r\nThe cover does reveal a little more about the book's contents, namely the preface by <strong>John Lasseter<\/strong>, the forward by the film's directors <strong>Chris Buck<\/strong> and <strong>Jennifer Lee<\/strong>, and that the book will be written by <strong>Charles Solomon<\/strong>, who also wrote other animation books such as\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/0811874346\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0811874346&linkCode=as2&tag=therotos-20\">The Art of Toy Story 3<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/0517118599\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0517118599&linkCode=as2&tag=therotos-20\"><em>Enchanted Drawings: The History of Animation<\/em><\/a>,\u00a0and the soon-to-be-release <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/142316380X\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=142316380X&linkCode=as2&tag=therotos-20\">The Art of Disney Golden Books<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>(which also looks incredible and gorgeous, by the way).\r\n\r\nHere is the official synopsis of the book:\r\n<blockquote>In Walt Disney Animation Studios upcoming film,\u00a0<em>Frozen<\/em>, the fearless optimist Anna sets off on an epic journey--teaming up with the rugged mountain man Kristoff--to find her sister Elsa, whose icy powers have trapped the kingdom of Arandelle in eternal winter. Encountering Everset-like conditions, Anna and Kristoff battle the elements in a race to save the kingdom.\u00a0<em>The Art of Frozen<\/em> features concept art from the making of the film--including characters studies and sculpts, color scripts, storyboards, and more--alongside interviews with the film's artists about the making of this comedy-adventure.<\/blockquote>\r\nLastly, a few other art snippets from the book were shown on the Chronicle's page. Two of the images are panels that (to me) represent Anna and Elsa. From what we know so far, Anna seems to represent spring, as shown below (left) with a girl showing Anna's likeness surrounded by green foliage and flowers. Elsa's panel (below right) juxtaposes Anna's by using a cool blue-green color palette, harsh jagged lines, and snowflakes. The other art (middle) shows the Arandelle palace, presumably after Elsa has cursed the land with eternal winter.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/08\/27\/icy-cover-of-the-art-book-the-art-of-frozen-revealed\/2961360_orig\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6915\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-6915 alignnone\" alt=\"the-art-of-frozen-artwork\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/2961360_orig.jpg\" width=\"100\" height=\"353\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/08\/27\/icy-cover-of-the-art-book-the-art-of-frozen-revealed\/466725_orig\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6914\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-6914 alignnone\" alt=\"the-art-of-frozen-artwork-2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/466725_orig.jpg\" width=\"337\" height=\"161\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/08\/27\/icy-cover-of-the-art-book-the-art-of-frozen-revealed\/986012_orig\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6913\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-6913 alignnone\" alt=\"the-art-of-frozen-disney-elsa-panel-concept-art\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/986012_orig.jpg\" width=\"102\" height=\"355\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\nFollowing the tradition of past Disney art-of books,\u00a0<em>The Art of Frozen<\/em> is definitely going to be a must-have for any Disney or animation lover.

When this desperate attempt to get him back fails, the doctor puts her under the care of her mom with who Imogene hasn\u2019t spoken to in years. Imogene thinks this is a punishment worse than death and must learn to reconnect with her broken family.\r\n\r\nImogene\u2019s family is quite interesting. Her mother, Zelda (<strong>Annette Bening<\/strong>), is a New Jersey gambling addict who has a live-in boyfriend named \u201cGeorge Bush\u201d (pronounced boo-sh) (<strong>Matt Dillon<\/strong>), who supposedly works for the FBI. Her brother, Ralph (<strong>Christopher Fitzgerald<\/strong>), is a hermit in all senses of the world: he avoids external social contact at all costs and also owns a hermit crab shop on the beach. And, while not a family member, there\u2019s Lee (<strong>Darren Criss<\/strong>), a casino singer who is renting out Imogene\u2019s old room.\r\n\r\nAnd it goes on from there.\r\n\r\nThe best I can describe this movie is a more modern-day Napoleon Dynamite, except not as funny or delightful. At times I thought, \u201cWow, there really could be a family like this somewhere in New Jersey.\u201d And other times, the plot and scenarios were so bizarre and crazy you just had to laugh about it.\r\n\r\nKristen Wiig is a true comedic actress and whenever she\u2019s on screen, she steals the show. But unfortunately, this screenplay didn\u2019t give Wiig a lot to work with. The character of Imogene is a bit despicable and you don\u2019t really root for her.\r\n\r\nHonestly, I was excited to see Darren Criss in one of his first big screen appearances, but he also fell a bit flat\u2026except for the part where he sings.\r\n\r\nBizarre, quirky, and somewhat funny. If you\u2019re a Kristen Wiig or Darren Criss fan, you might want to check <em>Girl Most Likely<\/em> out, otherwise, you skip it and you won't be missing much.\r\n\r\n\u2605\u2605","post_title":"'Girl Most Likely' Is Unlikely To Be A Hit","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"girl-most-likely-is-unlikely-to-be-a-hit","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2013-09-25 17:19:11","post_modified_gmt":"2013-09-26 00:19:11","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/www.therotoscopers.com\/?p=6640","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":6630,"post_author":"4","post_date":"2013-08-07 21:29:41","post_date_gmt":"2013-08-08 04:29:41","post_content":"The D23 Expo is always chock full of great panels, exhibiters and, of course, merchandise.

Personally, I really like the look of the dolls...except for that crazy hairdo on Elsa. Holy moly, bouffant!\r\n\r\nNow regarding the faces, there seems to be some controversy on the design. Some hate them and some love them. I'm on team \"love them.\" I really like how their faces actually look like their CGI counterparts. (Trust me, some of my old Disney Barbies looked nothing like the real thing, so actually being able to see the resemblance is nice).\r\n\r\nHere's the official blurb about the Anna & Elsa Doll Set from the <a href=\"https:\/\/d23.com\/disney-consumer-products-preview-at-d23-expo\/\">D23 Expo website<\/a>:\r\n<blockquote><strong>Anna and Elsa Doll Set \u2013 Frozen \u2013 11\u201d<\/strong>\r\nJoin the adventure with a pair of lovely dolls inspired by Walt Disney Animation Studios\u2019\u00a0<em>Frozen<\/em>.

The pine trees covered in snow on the cover and 'Howl-iday' in the cover seemed to give it away.\r\n\r\nHere's the official synopsis below:\r\n<blockquote>\u201cKate, Humphrey and their 3 wolf cubs (Stinky, Claudette and Runt) are happily preparing to celebrate their first winter together when their smallest cub, Runt, mysteriously disappears. They must now go on a new journey across the wilderness to find Runt and bring him back before the snow blocks their way home. It\u2019s their greatest adventure yet, filled with action and suspense as well as plenty of the humor and heartwarming moments that were delivered in the first theatrical release. While their adventure does not end exactly as planned, Kate & Humphrey discover that \u2018Home is where the Family Is.\u2019\u201d<\/blockquote>\r\nI never saw the first Alpha and Omega, but the film did marginally well. It made $50 million in the box office, and with a $20 million budget, that's not that shabby of a return on investment.\u00a0<em>Alpha and Omega 2: A Howl-iday\u00a0Adventure\u00a0<\/em>will be the first in a series of direct-to-video films.\r\n\r\nConsidering it's a direct-to-video sequel, the majority of the original cast has returned (making us think that this was set for a theatrical release at some point). The cast includes returnees\u00a0<strong>Justin Lang<\/strong> as Humphrey, <strong>Hayden Panettiere<\/strong> as Kate, <strong>Christina Ricci<\/strong> as Lilly, <strong>Chris Carmack<\/strong> as Garth, <strong>Danny Glover<\/strong> as Winston, and\u00a0<strong>Vicki Lewis<\/strong> as Eve. It also includes newcomers <strong>Jane Lynch<\/strong> as Terra, <strong>Ed Asner<\/strong> as Slash and <strong>Aziz Ansari<\/strong> as Simon Piglet.\r\n\r\n<em>Alpha and Omega 2: A Howl-iday\u00a0Adventure<\/em> hits DVD, Blu-ray and VOD on October 8, 2013.\r\n\r\nWatch the trailer below!\r\n<h3><em>Are you excited for\u00a0Alpha and Omega 2?

And as the movie's release date draws closer, more and more\u00a0<em>Frozen\u00a0<\/em>merchandise is beginning to pop up on the internet, including books!\r\n\r\nSo far, there are about 20+\u00a0<em>Frozen<\/em>\u00a0storybooks set to be released--and counting! These include storybooks, chapter books, read-along books, coloring books, sticker books and so on. The art on these books are gorgeous and illustrated by the incredibly talented folks at RH Disney, Disney Publishing, and more. Since we could stare at these book covers for hours, we decided to bring you <em>all<\/em> of them in one place!\r\n\r\nSome of these books have little snippets available so you can get a look inside the book. One of the chapter books shows the entire first chapter, while one of the picture book basically reveals the entire first act of the movie. So be careful about thumbing throw these (online and in stores) because you might get spoiled!\r\n\r\nThe majority of the book will be release on October 1, 2013, while a few of them will be released at later dates. You can pre-order and buy the books at Amazon, using our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/amazon\">affiliate link<\/a> to help support the site.

we are beginning to see a lot of merchandise begin to make its way online. One of these is the cover for the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1452117160\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1452117160&linkCode=as2&tag=therotos-20\"><em>Art of Frozen<\/em><\/a>, a making-of book dedicated to the art, design, and creation of\u00a0<em>Frozen<\/em>.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1452117160\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1452117160&linkCode=as2&tag=therotos-20\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6916\"><img class=\" wp-image-6916 \" alt=\"the-art-of-frozen-cover-disney\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/9950114_orig.jpg\" width=\"503\" height=\"422\" \/><\/a> Seems a bit bland, don't you think?[\/caption]\r\n\r\nNormally, Disney's art-of books' covers feature never-before-seen images from the concept development stage.<em> The Art of Frozen<\/em> cover, however, doesn't show us anything new, but rather uses the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2012\/12\/13\/first-concept-art-from-disneys-frozen\/\">first official piece of artwork<\/a> that Disney unveiled to the public last year. The art shows our heroine Anna, and her companion Kristoff, as they are trekking across the icy wilderness to find Anna's sister Elsa.\r\n\r\nThe cover was can be found on page 30 of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.chroniclebooks.com\/our-company\/catalogs\">Chronicle Books Adult Trade Fall 2013<\/a>. Honestly, if I didn't see for myself that it was posted in Chronicle's official publication, I would think that this cover is a fake. Doesn't it just seem a bit bland? It's definitely out of the ordinary than Disney's most recent covers such as <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2012\/07\/09\/the-art-of-wreck-it-ralph-cover-revealed\/\">The Art of Wreck-It Ralph<\/a><\/em>\u00a0and<em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/0811875555\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0811875555&linkCode=as2&tag=therotos-20\"> The Art of Tangled<\/a>.\r\n<\/em>\r\n\r\nRegarding whether this is the final cover, our writer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/author\/kyle-ostrum\/\">Kyle Ostrum<\/a> pointed out:\r\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Rotoscopers\">@Rotoscopers<\/a> Usually the first cover unveiled is the first bit of concept art revealed, but then the real cover ends up being something else\r\n\r\n\u2014 Kyle (@DeLuxODonnell92) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DeLuxODonnell92\/statuses\/372426385572110337\">August 27, 2013<\/a><\/blockquote>\r\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Rotoscopers\">@Rotoscopers<\/a> IMO, it's sly a move so that they can keep a good piece of concept art from you until the book comes out.\r\n\r\n\u2014 Kyle (@DeLuxODonnell92) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DeLuxODonnell92\/statuses\/372426490966593536\">August 27, 2013<\/a><\/blockquote>\r\nSo I guess we will find out in the next few months if this cover sticks or gets replaced. (I'm really hoping for the latter here.)\r\n\r\nThe cover does reveal a little more about the book's contents, namely the preface by <strong>John Lasseter<\/strong>, the forward by the film's directors <strong>Chris Buck<\/strong> and <strong>Jennifer Lee<\/strong>, and that the book will be written by <strong>Charles Solomon<\/strong>, who also wrote other animation books such as\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/0811874346\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0811874346&linkCode=as2&tag=therotos-20\">The Art of Toy Story 3<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/0517118599\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0517118599&linkCode=as2&tag=therotos-20\"><em>Enchanted Drawings: The History of Animation<\/em><\/a>,\u00a0and the soon-to-be-release <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/142316380X\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=142316380X&linkCode=as2&tag=therotos-20\">The Art of Disney Golden Books<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>(which also looks incredible and gorgeous, by the way).\r\n\r\nHere is the official synopsis of the book:\r\n<blockquote>In Walt Disney Animation Studios upcoming film,\u00a0<em>Frozen<\/em>, the fearless optimist Anna sets off on an epic journey--teaming up with the rugged mountain man Kristoff--to find her sister Elsa, whose icy powers have trapped the kingdom of Arandelle in eternal winter. Encountering Everset-like conditions, Anna and Kristoff battle the elements in a race to save the kingdom.\u00a0<em>The Art of Frozen<\/em> features concept art from the making of the film--including characters studies and sculpts, color scripts, storyboards, and more--alongside interviews with the film's artists about the making of this comedy-adventure.<\/blockquote>\r\nLastly, a few other art snippets from the book were shown on the Chronicle's page. Two of the images are panels that (to me) represent Anna and Elsa. From what we know so far, Anna seems to represent spring, as shown below (left) with a girl showing Anna's likeness surrounded by green foliage and flowers. Elsa's panel (below right) juxtaposes Anna's by using a cool blue-green color palette, harsh jagged lines, and snowflakes. The other art (middle) shows the Arandelle palace, presumably after Elsa has cursed the land with eternal winter.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/08\/27\/icy-cover-of-the-art-book-the-art-of-frozen-revealed\/2961360_orig\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6915\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-6915 alignnone\" alt=\"the-art-of-frozen-artwork\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/2961360_orig.jpg\" width=\"100\" height=\"353\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/08\/27\/icy-cover-of-the-art-book-the-art-of-frozen-revealed\/466725_orig\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6914\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-6914 alignnone\" alt=\"the-art-of-frozen-artwork-2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/466725_orig.jpg\" width=\"337\" height=\"161\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/08\/27\/icy-cover-of-the-art-book-the-art-of-frozen-revealed\/986012_orig\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6913\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-6913 alignnone\" alt=\"the-art-of-frozen-disney-elsa-panel-concept-art\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/986012_orig.jpg\" width=\"102\" height=\"355\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\nFollowing the tradition of past Disney art-of books,\u00a0<em>The Art of Frozen<\/em> is definitely going to be a must-have for any Disney or animation lover.

When this desperate attempt to get him back fails, the doctor puts her under the care of her mom with who Imogene hasn\u2019t spoken to in years. Imogene thinks this is a punishment worse than death and must learn to reconnect with her broken family.\r\n\r\nImogene\u2019s family is quite interesting. Her mother, Zelda (<strong>Annette Bening<\/strong>), is a New Jersey gambling addict who has a live-in boyfriend named \u201cGeorge Bush\u201d (pronounced boo-sh) (<strong>Matt Dillon<\/strong>), who supposedly works for the FBI. Her brother, Ralph (<strong>Christopher Fitzgerald<\/strong>), is a hermit in all senses of the world: he avoids external social contact at all costs and also owns a hermit crab shop on the beach. And, while not a family member, there\u2019s Lee (<strong>Darren Criss<\/strong>), a casino singer who is renting out Imogene\u2019s old room.\r\n\r\nAnd it goes on from there.\r\n\r\nThe best I can describe this movie is a more modern-day Napoleon Dynamite, except not as funny or delightful. At times I thought, \u201cWow, there really could be a family like this somewhere in New Jersey.\u201d And other times, the plot and scenarios were so bizarre and crazy you just had to laugh about it.\r\n\r\nKristen Wiig is a true comedic actress and whenever she\u2019s on screen, she steals the show. But unfortunately, this screenplay didn\u2019t give Wiig a lot to work with. The character of Imogene is a bit despicable and you don\u2019t really root for her.\r\n\r\nHonestly, I was excited to see Darren Criss in one of his first big screen appearances, but he also fell a bit flat\u2026except for the part where he sings.\r\n\r\nBizarre, quirky, and somewhat funny. If you\u2019re a Kristen Wiig or Darren Criss fan, you might want to check <em>Girl Most Likely<\/em> out, otherwise, you skip it and you won't be missing much.\r\n\r\n\u2605\u2605","post_title":"'Girl Most Likely' Is Unlikely To Be A Hit","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"girl-most-likely-is-unlikely-to-be-a-hit","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2013-09-25 17:19:11","post_modified_gmt":"2013-09-26 00:19:11","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/www.therotoscopers.com\/?p=6640","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":6630,"post_author":"4","post_date":"2013-08-07 21:29:41","post_date_gmt":"2013-08-08 04:29:41","post_content":"The D23 Expo is always chock full of great panels, exhibiters and, of course, merchandise.

Personally, I really like the look of the dolls...except for that crazy hairdo on Elsa. Holy moly, bouffant!\r\n\r\nNow regarding the faces, there seems to be some controversy on the design. Some hate them and some love them. I'm on team \"love them.\" I really like how their faces actually look like their CGI counterparts. (Trust me, some of my old Disney Barbies looked nothing like the real thing, so actually being able to see the resemblance is nice).\r\n\r\nHere's the official blurb about the Anna & Elsa Doll Set from the <a href=\"https:\/\/d23.com\/disney-consumer-products-preview-at-d23-expo\/\">D23 Expo website<\/a>:\r\n<blockquote><strong>Anna and Elsa Doll Set \u2013 Frozen \u2013 11\u201d<\/strong>\r\nJoin the adventure with a pair of lovely dolls inspired by Walt Disney Animation Studios\u2019\u00a0<em>Frozen<\/em>.

Turns out that the sequel, entitled\u00a0<em>Alpha and Omega 2: A Howl-iday Adventure<\/em>, is\u00a0a direct-to-video sequel, which will be available October 8.\r\n\r\nThe sequel follows the adventures of Kate, Humphrey and their three cubs. But when the runt of the litter, who's creatively named Runt, suddenly disappears, the family must travel across the wilderness to find him and bring him back.\r\n\r\nWhile not directly a Christmas film, <em>Alpha and Omega 2<\/em> certainly seems to want to position itself to capture some of the lucrative Christmas DVD market. The pine trees covered in snow on the cover and 'Howl-iday' in the cover seemed to give it away.\r\n\r\nHere's the official synopsis below:\r\n<blockquote>\u201cKate, Humphrey and their 3 wolf cubs (Stinky, Claudette and Runt) are happily preparing to celebrate their first winter together when their smallest cub, Runt, mysteriously disappears. They must now go on a new journey across the wilderness to find Runt and bring him back before the snow blocks their way home. It\u2019s their greatest adventure yet, filled with action and suspense as well as plenty of the humor and heartwarming moments that were delivered in the first theatrical release. While their adventure does not end exactly as planned, Kate & Humphrey discover that \u2018Home is where the Family Is.\u2019\u201d<\/blockquote>\r\nI never saw the first Alpha and Omega, but the film did marginally well. It made $50 million in the box office, and with a $20 million budget, that's not that shabby of a return on investment.\u00a0<em>Alpha and Omega 2: A Howl-iday\u00a0Adventure\u00a0<\/em>will be the first in a series of direct-to-video films.\r\n\r\nConsidering it's a direct-to-video sequel, the majority of the original cast has returned (making us think that this was set for a theatrical release at some point). The cast includes returnees\u00a0<strong>Justin Lang<\/strong> as Humphrey, <strong>Hayden Panettiere<\/strong> as Kate, <strong>Christina Ricci<\/strong> as Lilly, <strong>Chris Carmack<\/strong> as Garth, <strong>Danny Glover<\/strong> as Winston, and\u00a0<strong>Vicki Lewis<\/strong> as Eve. It also includes newcomers <strong>Jane Lynch<\/strong> as Terra, <strong>Ed Asner<\/strong> as Slash and <strong>Aziz Ansari<\/strong> as Simon Piglet.\r\n\r\n<em>Alpha and Omega 2: A Howl-iday\u00a0Adventure<\/em> hits DVD, Blu-ray and VOD on October 8, 2013.\r\n\r\nWatch the trailer below!\r\n<h3><em>Are you excited for\u00a0Alpha and Omega 2?

will miss you, Mr. Miyazaki![\/caption]\r\n\r\nStudio Ghibli has announced that its 72-year-old animation master and director Hayao Miyazaki is officially retiring.\r\n\r\nThe news was <a href=\"http:\/\/www3.nhk.or.jp\/news\/html\/20130901\/t10014201521000.html\">broken<\/a>\u00a0at the\u00a0Venice Film Festival in Italy\u00a0by Studio Ghibli president\u00a0Koji Hoshino. Not many details were given about Miyazaki's retirement, other than the fact he is retiring from feature-length films and that <strong><em>The Wind Rises<\/em><\/strong> will be his last feature.\u00a0Miyazaki will talk about his retirement in a press conference in Tokyo on September 6.\r\n\r\nIt seems this week has been filled with announcements of directors <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/08\/26\/rumor-bob-peterson-no-longer-directing-the-good-dinosaur\/\">being taken off films<\/a>, famous animators leaving their longtime studios, and now this. Miyazaki was considered the \"Japanese Walt Disney\" and has been praised for his numerous whimsical films over the years. He also has been an inspiration to legions of animators and directors in Hollywood including Pixar's John Lasseter, Brad Bird, and countless others.\r\n\r\nOf Studio Ghibli's 18 films, Miyazaki directed ten of those, including:\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><strong><em>Castle in the Sky<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong><em>My Neighbor Totoro<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong><em>Kiki's Delivery Service<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong><em>Porco Rosso<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong><em>Princess Mononoke<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2012\/07\/23\/episode-16-spirited-away-this-aint-your-typical-western-story\/\"><em>Spirited Away<\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/04\/16\/episode-36-howls-moving-castle-beasts-moving-batcave\/\"><em>Howl's Moving Castle<\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong><em>Ponyo<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong><em>The Wind Rises<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nMiyazaki has had a wonderful, long, prosperous and successful career. The official word is that he has retired from feature films, so maybe that leaves the door open for him to work on other projects such as short films. Whatever those may be, we wish Hayao Miyazaki the best in his future endeavors and want to thank him for the incredibly creative slate of animated films he has brought the world over his career.\r\n\r\n<em>The Wind Rises<\/em> opened in July in Japan and will have its North American premiere at the 2013 Toronto Film Festival.

According to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oscars.org\/events-exhibitions\/events\/2013\/10\/this-amazing-medium.html\">official release<\/a>:\r\n<blockquote>...Williams will discuss the work that has inspired him and the people who have influenced him. Some of Williams's favorite clips will be shown to illustrate the artistic and emotional range of this amazing medium, from the charm of \"Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs\" and the imagination of \"Fantasia\" to the stylized sophistication of \"Rooty Toot Toot\" and the subtlety of expression in \"Toy Story.\"\r\n\r\nWilliams will also enlighten audiences about his own work through clips from \"The Little Island,\" \"The Charge of the Light Brigade,\" \"A Christmas Carol,\" \"The Return of the Pink Panther,\" \"Who Framed Roger Rabbit,\" \"Circus Drawings\" and the first theatrical trailer for \"The Thief and the Cobbler,\" as well as a preview of his work-in-progress, \"Prologue.\"<\/blockquote>\r\nOver the past month, we've given a lot of attention to\u00a0Richard\u00a0Williams, who is most known for his decades-long attempt to make the film\u00a0<em>The Thief and the Cobbler<\/em>. However, since the unsuccessful completion of that film, Williams has removed himself from the industry (for the most part). He hasn't directed any new films or commercials in the past 20 years, apart from a short called \"Circus Drawings.\" For more information about Williams, check out episodes\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/08\/02\/episode-43-the-thief-and-the-cobbler-i-love-you-seanconnery\/\">43<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/08\/23\/episode-45-kevin-schreck-interview-director-of-persistence-of-vision\/\">45<\/a> of the Animation Addicts Podcast, where we review his film <em>The Thief and the Cobbler<\/em> and interview the director of a documentary about the making of\u00a0<em>The Thief and the Cobbler<\/em><em><\/em>, respectively.\r\n\r\nThis is going to be an incredible even for anyone who is a practitioner or fan of animation. Williams is truly a master of the craft and was voted \"The Animator's Animator\" by his peers. He also will be talking about\u00a0<em>The Thief and the\u00a0Cobbler<\/em>, which is unprecedented since he has refused to talk about that film since he lost control of it in the early 1990s. On top of that, Williams will be previewing his new film\u00a0<em>Prologue<\/em>, a project we've heard whispers that he's long been working on, yet haven't seen any official scenes. Can you say once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?\r\n\r\nFor anyone living in southern California, there really isn't any reason\u00a0<em>not<\/em> to go to this considering general admission tickets are only $5.

These include storybooks, chapter books, read-along books, coloring books, sticker books and so on. The art on these books are gorgeous and illustrated by the incredibly talented folks at RH Disney, Disney Publishing, and more. Since we could stare at these book covers for hours, we decided to bring you <em>all<\/em> of them in one place!\r\n\r\nSome of these books have little snippets available so you can get a look inside the book. One of the chapter books shows the entire first chapter, while one of the picture book basically reveals the entire first act of the movie. So be careful about thumbing throw these (online and in stores) because you might get spoiled!\r\n\r\nThe majority of the book will be release on October 1, 2013, while a few of them will be released at later dates.

we are beginning to see a lot of merchandise begin to make its way online. One of these is the cover for the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1452117160\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1452117160&linkCode=as2&tag=therotos-20\"><em>Art of Frozen<\/em><\/a>, a making-of book dedicated to the art, design, and creation of\u00a0<em>Frozen<\/em>.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1452117160\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1452117160&linkCode=as2&tag=therotos-20\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6916\"><img class=\" wp-image-6916 \" alt=\"the-art-of-frozen-cover-disney\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/9950114_orig.jpg\" width=\"503\" height=\"422\" \/><\/a> Seems a bit bland, don't you think?[\/caption]\r\n\r\nNormally, Disney's art-of books' covers feature never-before-seen images from the concept development stage.<em> The Art of Frozen<\/em> cover, however, doesn't show us anything new, but rather uses the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2012\/12\/13\/first-concept-art-from-disneys-frozen\/\">first official piece of artwork<\/a> that Disney unveiled to the public last year. The art shows our heroine Anna, and her companion Kristoff, as they are trekking across the icy wilderness to find Anna's sister Elsa.\r\n\r\nThe cover was can be found on page 30 of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.chroniclebooks.com\/our-company\/catalogs\">Chronicle Books Adult Trade Fall 2013<\/a>. Honestly, if I didn't see for myself that it was posted in Chronicle's official publication, I would think that this cover is a fake. Doesn't it just seem a bit bland? It's definitely out of the ordinary than Disney's most recent covers such as <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2012\/07\/09\/the-art-of-wreck-it-ralph-cover-revealed\/\">The Art of Wreck-It Ralph<\/a><\/em>\u00a0and<em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/0811875555\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0811875555&linkCode=as2&tag=therotos-20\"> The Art of Tangled<\/a>.\r\n<\/em>\r\n\r\nRegarding whether this is the final cover, our writer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/author\/kyle-ostrum\/\">Kyle Ostrum<\/a> pointed out:\r\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Rotoscopers\">@Rotoscopers<\/a> Usually the first cover unveiled is the first bit of concept art revealed, but then the real cover ends up being something else\r\n\r\n\u2014 Kyle (@DeLuxODonnell92) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DeLuxODonnell92\/statuses\/372426385572110337\">August 27, 2013<\/a><\/blockquote>\r\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Rotoscopers\">@Rotoscopers<\/a> IMO, it's sly a move so that they can keep a good piece of concept art from you until the book comes out.\r\n\r\n\u2014 Kyle (@DeLuxODonnell92) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DeLuxODonnell92\/statuses\/372426490966593536\">August 27, 2013<\/a><\/blockquote>\r\nSo I guess we will find out in the next few months if this cover sticks or gets replaced. (I'm really hoping for the latter here.)\r\n\r\nThe cover does reveal a little more about the book's contents, namely the preface by <strong>John Lasseter<\/strong>, the forward by the film's directors <strong>Chris Buck<\/strong> and <strong>Jennifer Lee<\/strong>, and that the book will be written by <strong>Charles Solomon<\/strong>, who also wrote other animation books such as\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/0811874346\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0811874346&linkCode=as2&tag=therotos-20\">The Art of Toy Story 3<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/0517118599\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0517118599&linkCode=as2&tag=therotos-20\"><em>Enchanted Drawings: The History of Animation<\/em><\/a>,\u00a0and the soon-to-be-release <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/142316380X\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=142316380X&linkCode=as2&tag=therotos-20\">The Art of Disney Golden Books<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>(which also looks incredible and gorgeous, by the way).\r\n\r\nHere is the official synopsis of the book:\r\n<blockquote>In Walt Disney Animation Studios upcoming film,\u00a0<em>Frozen<\/em>, the fearless optimist Anna sets off on an epic journey--teaming up with the rugged mountain man Kristoff--to find her sister Elsa, whose icy powers have trapped the kingdom of Arandelle in eternal winter. Encountering Everset-like conditions, Anna and Kristoff battle the elements in a race to save the kingdom.\u00a0<em>The Art of Frozen<\/em> features concept art from the making of the film--including characters studies and sculpts, color scripts, storyboards, and more--alongside interviews with the film's artists about the making of this comedy-adventure.<\/blockquote>\r\nLastly, a few other art snippets from the book were shown on the Chronicle's page. Two of the images are panels that (to me) represent Anna and Elsa. From what we know so far, Anna seems to represent spring, as shown below (left) with a girl showing Anna's likeness surrounded by green foliage and flowers. Elsa's panel (below right) juxtaposes Anna's by using a cool blue-green color palette, harsh jagged lines, and snowflakes. The other art (middle) shows the Arandelle palace, presumably after Elsa has cursed the land with eternal winter.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/08\/27\/icy-cover-of-the-art-book-the-art-of-frozen-revealed\/2961360_orig\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6915\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-6915 alignnone\" alt=\"the-art-of-frozen-artwork\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/2961360_orig.jpg\" width=\"100\" height=\"353\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/08\/27\/icy-cover-of-the-art-book-the-art-of-frozen-revealed\/466725_orig\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6914\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-6914 alignnone\" alt=\"the-art-of-frozen-artwork-2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/466725_orig.jpg\" width=\"337\" height=\"161\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/08\/27\/icy-cover-of-the-art-book-the-art-of-frozen-revealed\/986012_orig\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6913\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-6913 alignnone\" alt=\"the-art-of-frozen-disney-elsa-panel-concept-art\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/986012_orig.jpg\" width=\"102\" height=\"355\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\nFollowing the tradition of past Disney art-of books,\u00a0<em>The Art of Frozen<\/em> is definitely going to be a must-have for any Disney or animation lover.

When this desperate attempt to get him back fails, the doctor puts her under the care of her mom with who Imogene hasn\u2019t spoken to in years. Imogene thinks this is a punishment worse than death and must learn to reconnect with her broken family.\r\n\r\nImogene\u2019s family is quite interesting. Her mother, Zelda (<strong>Annette Bening<\/strong>), is a New Jersey gambling addict who has a live-in boyfriend named \u201cGeorge Bush\u201d (pronounced boo-sh) (<strong>Matt Dillon<\/strong>), who supposedly works for the FBI. Her brother, Ralph (<strong>Christopher Fitzgerald<\/strong>), is a hermit in all senses of the world: he avoids external social contact at all costs and also owns a hermit crab shop on the beach. And, while not a family member, there\u2019s Lee (<strong>Darren Criss<\/strong>), a casino singer who is renting out Imogene\u2019s old room.\r\n\r\nAnd it goes on from there.\r\n\r\nThe best I can describe this movie is a more modern-day Napoleon Dynamite, except not as funny or delightful. At times I thought, \u201cWow, there really could be a family like this somewhere in New Jersey.\u201d And other times, the plot and scenarios were so bizarre and crazy you just had to laugh about it.\r\n\r\nKristen Wiig is a true comedic actress and whenever she\u2019s on screen, she steals the show. But unfortunately, this screenplay didn\u2019t give Wiig a lot to work with. The character of Imogene is a bit despicable and you don\u2019t really root for her.\r\n\r\nHonestly, I was excited to see Darren Criss in one of his first big screen appearances, but he also fell a bit flat\u2026except for the part where he sings.\r\n\r\nBizarre, quirky, and somewhat funny. If you\u2019re a Kristen Wiig or Darren Criss fan, you might want to check <em>Girl Most Likely<\/em> out, otherwise, you skip it and you won't be missing much.\r\n\r\n\u2605\u2605","post_title":"'Girl Most Likely' Is Unlikely To Be A Hit","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"girl-most-likely-is-unlikely-to-be-a-hit","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2013-09-25 17:19:11","post_modified_gmt":"2013-09-26 00:19:11","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/www.therotoscopers.com\/?p=6640","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":6630,"post_author":"4","post_date":"2013-08-07 21:29:41","post_date_gmt":"2013-08-08 04:29:41","post_content":"The D23 Expo is always chock full of great panels, exhibiters and, of course, merchandise.

Some hate them and some love them. I'm on team \"love them.\" I really like how their faces actually look like their CGI counterparts. (Trust me, some of my old Disney Barbies looked nothing like the real thing, so actually being able to see the resemblance is nice).\r\n\r\nHere's the official blurb about the Anna & Elsa Doll Set from the <a href=\"https:\/\/d23.com\/disney-consumer-products-preview-at-d23-expo\/\">D23 Expo website<\/a>:\r\n<blockquote><strong>Anna and Elsa Doll Set \u2013 Frozen \u2013 11\u201d<\/strong>\r\nJoin the adventure with a pair of lovely dolls inspired by Walt Disney Animation Studios\u2019\u00a0<em>Frozen<\/em>.

Turns out that the sequel, entitled\u00a0<em>Alpha and Omega 2: A Howl-iday Adventure<\/em>, is\u00a0a direct-to-video sequel, which will be available October 8.\r\n\r\nThe sequel follows the adventures of Kate, Humphrey and their three cubs. But when the runt of the litter, who's creatively named Runt, suddenly disappears, the family must travel across the wilderness to find him and bring him back.\r\n\r\nWhile not directly a Christmas film, <em>Alpha and Omega 2<\/em> certainly seems to want to position itself to capture some of the lucrative Christmas DVD market. The pine trees covered in snow on the cover and 'Howl-iday' in the cover seemed to give it away.\r\n\r\nHere's the official synopsis below:\r\n<blockquote>\u201cKate, Humphrey and their 3 wolf cubs (Stinky, Claudette and Runt) are happily preparing to celebrate their first winter together when their smallest cub, Runt, mysteriously disappears. They must now go on a new journey across the wilderness to find Runt and bring him back before the snow blocks their way home. It\u2019s their greatest adventure yet, filled with action and suspense as well as plenty of the humor and heartwarming moments that were delivered in the first theatrical release. While their adventure does not end exactly as planned, Kate & Humphrey discover that \u2018Home is where the Family Is.\u2019\u201d<\/blockquote>\r\nI never saw the first Alpha and Omega, but the film did marginally well. It made $50 million in the box office, and with a $20 million budget, that's not that shabby of a return on investment.\u00a0<em>Alpha and Omega 2: A Howl-iday\u00a0Adventure\u00a0<\/em>will be the first in a series of direct-to-video films.\r\n\r\nConsidering it's a direct-to-video sequel, the majority of the original cast has returned (making us think that this was set for a theatrical release at some point). The cast includes returnees\u00a0<strong>Justin Lang<\/strong> as Humphrey, <strong>Hayden Panettiere<\/strong> as Kate, <strong>Christina Ricci<\/strong> as Lilly, <strong>Chris Carmack<\/strong> as Garth, <strong>Danny Glover<\/strong> as Winston, and\u00a0<strong>Vicki Lewis<\/strong> as Eve. It also includes newcomers <strong>Jane Lynch<\/strong> as Terra, <strong>Ed Asner<\/strong> as Slash and <strong>Aziz Ansari<\/strong> as Simon Piglet.\r\n\r\n<em>Alpha and Omega 2: A Howl-iday\u00a0Adventure<\/em> hits DVD, Blu-ray and VOD on October 8, 2013.\r\n\r\nWatch the trailer below!\r\n<h3><em>Are you excited for\u00a0Alpha and Omega 2?
