Along the way she learns more of her own origins and meets new friends that will be around for a long time.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>The Film \u2605\u2605\u2605 1\/2<\/strong>\r\nI was able to watch this film in theatres with my 6-year-old niece. I thought it would be good to get a balanced opinion of the show and win some \u201cSuper Cool Aunt\u201d points while I was at it. After learning a lot about the franchise and even the title character\u2014<span class=\"s1\">Tinker<\/span> <span class=\"s1\">Bell\u2014<\/span>from director Peggy Holmes on our trip to Destination D (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/18\">Episode 18<\/a>), I was\u00a0intrigued\u00a0with what was going to be coming out.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Adventurous Tinker Bell sneaks into the forbidden Winter Woods in order to discover the secret of her glowing, sparking wings. Along the way, she meets a frost fairy named Periwinkle and together they set out to solve the mystery of the wings. But they need to hurry before their forbidden friendship is destroyed forever.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I have to say I was very impressed. I actually really enjoyed myself. There were even a few moments where I said to myself \u201cWow, I like this movie!\u201d However, these moments wore off as the end got predictably sappy and tied everything up in a little bow\u2026and that is why it went straight to DVD.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">In it\u2019s favor, the animation, music, and\u00a0characters\u00a0were all consistent and it didn\u2019t drag on.\u00a0I will also say that if they had wanted to, they only would have needed to improve on a few things and it could have been good enough for any\u00a0audience\u00a0on any screen. As it is, it was still an enjoyable movie.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1076\" alt=\"Periwinkle-and-Tinker-Bell\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Periwinkle-and-Tinker-Bell-300x168.jpeg\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>The Features \u2605\u2605<\/strong>\r\nThe features on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B007MDB548\/ref=as_li_ss_til?tag=therotos-20&camp=0&creative=0&linkCode=as4&creativeASIN=B007MDB548&adid=0ZAJR2GYQM1HTQVN4EWR&\">Flitterific Fairies Double Pack Blu-Ray<\/a> were a bit weak. I halway expected \u201cPixie Hollow Games\u201d to just be some lame game section that most kiddie DVDs contain. I was pleasantly surprised when I realized that this was a full, 22-minute short! <em>Pixie Hollow Games <\/em>tells the story of the fairies version of the Olmpics and\u00a0focuses on Rosetta and the rest of the garden fairies, who have pitifully come in last place every year. The short was fun, surprisingly well animated and a welcome addition to the features.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The other short is is preview of what I assume is an upcoming short <em>Fright Light<\/em>. It was a bit dissapointing, but I guess whet your palette for what to expect in the <em>next<\/em>\u00a0Tinker Bell film. The other two features are two music videos of which I personally was not a fan. So all the extras in total are a short, a preview of a short and two music videos.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Final Thoughts\r\n<\/strong>It would get \u201cRent it\u201d status, but then again\u2026don\u2019t rent it.

The characters will be voiced by Jay Baruchel, America Ferrera, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, T.J. Miller, Tim Conway, Chris Edgerly, Mark Hamill, Julie Marcus, Nolan North, Zack Pearlman, Stephen Root and Tom Wilson.\r\n\r\nDreamWorks will kick off <em>DreamWorks Dragons: Riders of Berk<\/em>\u00a0on November 3 by debuting two episodes back to back\u00a0after a broadcast of <em>How to Train Your Dragon. <\/em>After the initial premiere, the series will air Thursday nights at 6:30 pm.\r\n\r\nDreamWorks has experienced incredible success with its other spin-off series such as <em>The Penguins of Madagascar<\/em> and <em>Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness<\/em>. It seems a no-brainer that this new series will be a hit for DreamWorks considering the film its based on was such a commercial hit ($495 million worldwide box-office gross, anyone?). It\u2019s interesting that DreamWorks has chosen to debut this series in Canada instead of the United States, which is a much bigger market.\r\n\r\nWhile I\u2019m excited for this series, I worry that DreamWorks could dilute the <em>How to Train Your Dragon <\/em>brand with too many ventures. In addition to the new TV series, there are already two sequels in development set for a 2014 and 2016 release. The series could either do two things: continue to maintain and grow interest or oversaturate consumers with too much <em>Dragon<\/em>.\r\n\r\nWill you toon into the debut of <em>DreamWorks Dragons: Riders of Berk<\/em>? Do you think this will help the brand or hurt it?

Along the way she learns more of her own origins and meets new friends that will be around for a long time.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>The Film \u2605\u2605\u2605 1\/2<\/strong>\r\nI was able to watch this film in theatres with my 6-year-old niece. I thought it would be good to get a balanced opinion of the show and win some \u201cSuper Cool Aunt\u201d points while I was at it. After learning a lot about the franchise and even the title character\u2014<span class=\"s1\">Tinker<\/span> <span class=\"s1\">Bell\u2014<\/span>from director Peggy Holmes on our trip to Destination D (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/18\">Episode 18<\/a>), I was\u00a0intrigued\u00a0with what was going to be coming out.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Adventurous Tinker Bell sneaks into the forbidden Winter Woods in order to discover the secret of her glowing, sparking wings. Along the way, she meets a frost fairy named Periwinkle and together they set out to solve the mystery of the wings. But they need to hurry before their forbidden friendship is destroyed forever.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I have to say I was very impressed. I actually really enjoyed myself. There were even a few moments where I said to myself \u201cWow, I like this movie!\u201d However, these moments wore off as the end got predictably sappy and tied everything up in a little bow\u2026and that is why it went straight to DVD.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">In it\u2019s favor, the animation, music, and\u00a0characters\u00a0were all consistent and it didn\u2019t drag on.\u00a0I will also say that if they had wanted to, they only would have needed to improve on a few things and it could have been good enough for any\u00a0audience\u00a0on any screen. As it is, it was still an enjoyable movie.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1076\" alt=\"Periwinkle-and-Tinker-Bell\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Periwinkle-and-Tinker-Bell-300x168.jpeg\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>The Features \u2605\u2605<\/strong>\r\nThe features on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B007MDB548\/ref=as_li_ss_til?tag=therotos-20&camp=0&creative=0&linkCode=as4&creativeASIN=B007MDB548&adid=0ZAJR2GYQM1HTQVN4EWR&\">Flitterific Fairies Double Pack Blu-Ray<\/a> were a bit weak. I halway expected \u201cPixie Hollow Games\u201d to just be some lame game section that most kiddie DVDs contain. I was pleasantly surprised when I realized that this was a full, 22-minute short! <em>Pixie Hollow Games <\/em>tells the story of the fairies version of the Olmpics and\u00a0focuses on Rosetta and the rest of the garden fairies, who have pitifully come in last place every year. The short was fun, surprisingly well animated and a welcome addition to the features.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The other short is is preview of what I assume is an upcoming short <em>Fright Light<\/em>. It was a bit dissapointing, but I guess whet your palette for what to expect in the <em>next<\/em>\u00a0Tinker Bell film. The other two features are two music videos of which I personally was not a fan. So all the extras in total are a short, a preview of a short and two music videos.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Final Thoughts\r\n<\/strong>It would get \u201cRent it\u201d status, but then again\u2026don\u2019t rent it.

The characters will be voiced by Jay Baruchel, America Ferrera, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, T.J. Miller, Tim Conway, Chris Edgerly, Mark Hamill, Julie Marcus, Nolan North, Zack Pearlman, Stephen Root and Tom Wilson.\r\n\r\nDreamWorks will kick off <em>DreamWorks Dragons: Riders of Berk<\/em>\u00a0on November 3 by debuting two episodes back to back\u00a0after a broadcast of <em>How to Train Your Dragon. <\/em>After the initial premiere, the series will air Thursday nights at 6:30 pm.\r\n\r\nDreamWorks has experienced incredible success with its other spin-off series such as <em>The Penguins of Madagascar<\/em> and <em>Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness<\/em>. It seems a no-brainer that this new series will be a hit for DreamWorks considering the film its based on was such a commercial hit ($495 million worldwide box-office gross, anyone?). It\u2019s interesting that DreamWorks has chosen to debut this series in Canada instead of the United States, which is a much bigger market.\r\n\r\nWhile I\u2019m excited for this series, I worry that DreamWorks could dilute the <em>How to Train Your Dragon <\/em>brand with too many ventures. In addition to the new TV series, there are already two sequels in development set for a 2014 and 2016 release. The series could either do two things: continue to maintain and grow interest or oversaturate consumers with too much <em>Dragon<\/em>.\r\n\r\nWill you toon into the debut of <em>DreamWorks Dragons: Riders of Berk<\/em>?

Obviously, Sony is trying to emulate the film\u2019s surprising September box office success that\u00a0has\u00a0raked in over $253 million worldwide. September was a perfect time to release the film as families started gearing up for Halloween. The monster-themed movie continued to have legs well into October as the nation\u2019s haunted festivities continued to grow.\r\n\r\nThe film is still quite early in development; however, director Genndy Tartakovsky will not be returning to direct the sequel as he\u2019s currently tied up working on the Sony\u2019s CGI Popeye film, which will be released one year earlier on September 26, 2014. No word yet on if the voice cast (featuring <strong>Adam Sandler<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Andy Samberg<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Kevin James<\/strong>, and\u00a0<strong>Selena Gomez<\/strong>) will reprise their roles.\r\n\r\nWhat are your thoughts on a Hotel Transylvania sequel?

The studio has a legacy animation greatness with films such as <em>Pinocchio<\/em>, <em>The Little Mermaid<\/em> and <em>The Lion King<\/em>. I can happily say, that <em>Ralph<\/em>\u00a0has earned its place on the Walt Disney animation leader board. It is one of the best Disney films made in years.\r\n\r\n<em>Wreck-It Ralph<\/em>\u00a0tells the story of an old-school arcade bad guy Ralph, who decides that after 30 years of wrecking and smashing buildings, he doesn\u2019t want to be a bad guy anymore. Ralph (voiced by <strong>John C. Reilly<\/strong>) is the antagonist of Fix-It Felix, Jr., a fictional 1980s arcade game at Litwak\u2019s Arcade that has remained semi-popular over the years despite newer, bigger and better games taking over the arcade\u2019s real estate.\r\n\r\nTo prove to denizens of Fix-It Felix, Jr that he\u2019s a good guy, Ralph goes on a quest to obtain a shiny medal\u2014the badge of all heroes and good guys. Ralph then stumbles into a Halo-esque first person shooter called Hero\u2019s Duty and \u201cearns\u201d his long-awaited medal, but with it accidentally unleashes a deadly threat into the girly Japanese go-kart game Sugar Rush. Stranded in Sugar Rush, Ralph meets a Vanellope von Schweetz (<strong>Sarah Silverman<\/strong>), an annoying glitch who becomes a thorn in Ralph\u2019s side. It\u2019s up to Fix-It Felix Jr. (<strong>Jack McBrayer<\/strong>) and Sergeant Calhoun (<strong>Jane Lynch<\/strong>) to find Ralph and bring him back to his game before it\u2019s too late, while Ralph and Vanellope have their own issues to deal with.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/calhoun-heros-duty-wreck-it-ralph.jpeg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-1082\" alt=\"calhoun-hero's-duty-wreck-it-ralph\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/calhoun-heros-duty-wreck-it-ralph-300x125.jpeg\" width=\"300\" height=\"125\" \/><\/a>Director Rich Moore did\u00a0a great job pandering to gamers. If you\u2019ve ever spent time in an arcade, in front of an Nintendo, or played any other gaming device for hours on end, you\u2019ll love this movie. You\u2019ll wish you had a pause button so you could scan through the bustling Game Central Station, hoping to catch a glimpse of your favorite childhood video game character. Because Ralph is filled with so many nostalgic moments, adults will find the movie just as enjoyable as the kids.\r\n\r\nThe story jumps from one game world to another, which could have been disorienting if done incorrectly; however, great care was taken to assure that the worlds were both visually jarring yet cohesive. Fix-It Felix, Jr. has a limited color palette and is filled with 8-bit features (even the characters move robotically). Contrast that to the high-definition CGI world of Hero\u2019s Duty or the bright, colorful world of Sugar Rush. It\u2019s almost as if you\u2019re watching three different movies. But it just works. I can\u2019t really think of a movie that has attempted this multi-style before, but I loved it.\r\n\r\n<em>Wreck-It Ralph<\/em> isn\u2019t just one of the best animated films of the year, it\u2019s one of the best comedies of the year. Come ready to laugh and to laugh frequently. The humor varies (much like the visuals throughout) ranging from clever gamer jokes to potty humor (mostly delivered by Vanellope). I would have preferred for Disney to take the high ground and avoid the bathroom humor, but alas, the kids in the audience (and many adults) went wild over them. 1 point: Disney; 0 points: me.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/wreck-it-ralph-sugar-rush-racers.jpeg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-1080 alignright\" alt=\"wreck-it-ralph-sugar-rush-racers\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/wreck-it-ralph-sugar-rush-racers-300x125.jpeg\" width=\"300\" height=\"125\" \/><\/a>Having already seen the movie in its very crude form at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/10\">test screening<\/a> a few month ago, I didn\u2019t think I could like the movie more than I already did. But seeing the complete, polished version was incredible. I was smiling and laughing throughout the entire film (not to mention salivating every time the scrumptious world of Sugar Rush came on the screen).\r\n\r\n<em>Wreck-It Ralph<\/em> is a landmark achievement for Walt Disney Animation Studios. It\u2019s success (both critically and commercially) proves to me that Walt Disney animation is back. Thank goodness! The studio went through a rough patch in 2000s, but seeing Disney succeed in bringing such a fresh and original story to life is satisfying (and CGI nonetheless). I can now anxiously anticipate what gems the studio will bring to theatres in the upcoming years.\r\n\r\n<em>Wreck-It Ralph <\/em>is hands down one of the best animated films of the year. You\u2019ll laugh, you\u2019ll cry and you\u2019ll leave in a much better mood than when you arrived. Whether you\u2019re a gamer, kid, parent, single, animation lover or not, this movie has something for everybody. Bravo, Disney!\r\n\r\n\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605 1\/2\r\n\r\nMorgan Stradling\r\n<a class=\"twitter-follow-button\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MorganStradling\">Follow @MorganStradling<\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\/\/ <![CDATA[\r\n!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,\"script\",\"twitter-wjs\");\r\n\/\/ ]]><\/script>","post_title":"[REVIEW] Disney's Hilarious, Nostalgic & Clever 'Wreck-It Ralph' Lands High Score","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"review-disneys-hilarious-nostalgic-clever-wreck-it-ralph-lands-high-score","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2013-09-25 17:24:42","post_modified_gmt":"2013-09-26 00:24:42","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/2012\/11\/03\/review-disneys-hilarious-nostalgic-clever-wreck-it-ralph-lands-high-score\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":683,"post_author":"4","post_date":"2012-10-30 17:09:53","post_date_gmt":"2012-10-31 00:09:53","post_content":"\r\n<p>In this episode,\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/news\/tag\/wreck-it-ralph\">Wreck-it Ralph<\/a><\/em>\u2019s Animation Supervisor\u2014<strong>Renato Dos Anjos<\/strong>\u2014talks about his life and work at Disney Animation Studios.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:html -->\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?e=ADV4190772609&light=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:html -->\r\n<h3><span id=\"internal-source-marker_0.5457142158411443\">Highlights<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><span id=\"internal-source-marker_0.5457142158411443\">About Renato: originally from S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil and wanted to be in comic books<br \/><\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span id=\"internal-source-marker_0.5457142158411443\">Started with Disney\u2014it\u2019s all about who you know<br \/><\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span id=\"internal-source-marker_0.5457142158411443\">How did he get involved in the <em>Wreck-It Ralph<\/em> project?<br \/><\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span id=\"internal-source-marker_0.5457142158411443\">Relationship with the director, Rich Moore<br \/><\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span id=\"internal-source-marker_0.5457142158411443\">How Disney fills positions within the company<br \/><\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span id=\"internal-source-marker_0.5457142158411443\">Working with Art Director, Mike Gabriel<br \/><\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span id=\"internal-source-marker_0.5457142158411443\">Did <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/10\">Episode 10<\/a>\u00a0really go through the whole animation department?

After learning a lot about the franchise and even the title character\u2014<span class=\"s1\">Tinker<\/span> <span class=\"s1\">Bell\u2014<\/span>from director Peggy Holmes on our trip to Destination D (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/18\">Episode 18<\/a>), I was\u00a0intrigued\u00a0with what was going to be coming out.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Adventurous Tinker Bell sneaks into the forbidden Winter Woods in order to discover the secret of her glowing, sparking wings. Along the way, she meets a frost fairy named Periwinkle and together they set out to solve the mystery of the wings. But they need to hurry before their forbidden friendship is destroyed forever.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I have to say I was very impressed. I actually really enjoyed myself. There were even a few moments where I said to myself \u201cWow, I like this movie!\u201d However, these moments wore off as the end got predictably sappy and tied everything up in a little bow\u2026and that is why it went straight to DVD.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">In it\u2019s favor, the animation, music, and\u00a0characters\u00a0were all consistent and it didn\u2019t drag on.\u00a0I will also say that if they had wanted to, they only would have needed to improve on a few things and it could have been good enough for any\u00a0audience\u00a0on any screen. As it is, it was still an enjoyable movie.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1076\" alt=\"Periwinkle-and-Tinker-Bell\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Periwinkle-and-Tinker-Bell-300x168.jpeg\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>The Features \u2605\u2605<\/strong>\r\nThe features on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B007MDB548\/ref=as_li_ss_til?tag=therotos-20&camp=0&creative=0&linkCode=as4&creativeASIN=B007MDB548&adid=0ZAJR2GYQM1HTQVN4EWR&\">Flitterific Fairies Double Pack Blu-Ray<\/a> were a bit weak. I halway expected \u201cPixie Hollow Games\u201d to just be some lame game section that most kiddie DVDs contain. I was pleasantly surprised when I realized that this was a full, 22-minute short! <em>Pixie Hollow Games <\/em>tells the story of the fairies version of the Olmpics and\u00a0focuses on Rosetta and the rest of the garden fairies, who have pitifully come in last place every year. The short was fun, surprisingly well animated and a welcome addition to the features.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The other short is is preview of what I assume is an upcoming short <em>Fright Light<\/em>. It was a bit dissapointing, but I guess whet your palette for what to expect in the <em>next<\/em>\u00a0Tinker Bell film. The other two features are two music videos of which I personally was not a fan. So all the extras in total are a short, a preview of a short and two music videos.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Final Thoughts\r\n<\/strong>It would get \u201cRent it\u201d status, but then again\u2026don\u2019t rent it.

The characters will be voiced by Jay Baruchel, America Ferrera, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, T.J. Miller, Tim Conway, Chris Edgerly, Mark Hamill, Julie Marcus, Nolan North, Zack Pearlman, Stephen Root and Tom Wilson.\r\n\r\nDreamWorks will kick off <em>DreamWorks Dragons: Riders of Berk<\/em>\u00a0on November 3 by debuting two episodes back to back\u00a0after a broadcast of <em>How to Train Your Dragon. <\/em>After the initial premiere, the series will air Thursday nights at 6:30 pm.\r\n\r\nDreamWorks has experienced incredible success with its other spin-off series such as <em>The Penguins of Madagascar<\/em> and <em>Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness<\/em>. It seems a no-brainer that this new series will be a hit for DreamWorks considering the film its based on was such a commercial hit ($495 million worldwide box-office gross, anyone?). It\u2019s interesting that DreamWorks has chosen to debut this series in Canada instead of the United States, which is a much bigger market.\r\n\r\nWhile I\u2019m excited for this series, I worry that DreamWorks could dilute the <em>How to Train Your Dragon <\/em>brand with too many ventures. In addition to the new TV series, there are already two sequels in development set for a 2014 and 2016 release. The series could either do two things: continue to maintain and grow interest or oversaturate consumers with too much <em>Dragon<\/em>.\r\n\r\nWill you toon into the debut of <em>DreamWorks Dragons: Riders of Berk<\/em>? Do you think this will help the brand or hurt it?

Obviously, Sony is trying to emulate the film\u2019s surprising September box office success that\u00a0has\u00a0raked in over $253 million worldwide. September was a perfect time to release the film as families started gearing up for Halloween. The monster-themed movie continued to have legs well into October as the nation\u2019s haunted festivities continued to grow.\r\n\r\nThe film is still quite early in development; however, director Genndy Tartakovsky will not be returning to direct the sequel as he\u2019s currently tied up working on the Sony\u2019s CGI Popeye film, which will be released one year earlier on September 26, 2014. No word yet on if the voice cast (featuring <strong>Adam Sandler<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Andy Samberg<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Kevin James<\/strong>, and\u00a0<strong>Selena Gomez<\/strong>) will reprise their roles.\r\n\r\nWhat are your thoughts on a Hotel Transylvania sequel?

The studio has a legacy animation greatness with films such as <em>Pinocchio<\/em>, <em>The Little Mermaid<\/em> and <em>The Lion King<\/em>. I can happily say, that <em>Ralph<\/em>\u00a0has earned its place on the Walt Disney animation leader board. It is one of the best Disney films made in years.\r\n\r\n<em>Wreck-It Ralph<\/em>\u00a0tells the story of an old-school arcade bad guy Ralph, who decides that after 30 years of wrecking and smashing buildings, he doesn\u2019t want to be a bad guy anymore. Ralph (voiced by <strong>John C. Reilly<\/strong>) is the antagonist of Fix-It Felix, Jr., a fictional 1980s arcade game at Litwak\u2019s Arcade that has remained semi-popular over the years despite newer, bigger and better games taking over the arcade\u2019s real estate.\r\n\r\nTo prove to denizens of Fix-It Felix, Jr that he\u2019s a good guy, Ralph goes on a quest to obtain a shiny medal\u2014the badge of all heroes and good guys. Ralph then stumbles into a Halo-esque first person shooter called Hero\u2019s Duty and \u201cearns\u201d his long-awaited medal, but with it accidentally unleashes a deadly threat into the girly Japanese go-kart game Sugar Rush. Stranded in Sugar Rush, Ralph meets a Vanellope von Schweetz (<strong>Sarah Silverman<\/strong>), an annoying glitch who becomes a thorn in Ralph\u2019s side. It\u2019s up to Fix-It Felix Jr. (<strong>Jack McBrayer<\/strong>) and Sergeant Calhoun (<strong>Jane Lynch<\/strong>) to find Ralph and bring him back to his game before it\u2019s too late, while Ralph and Vanellope have their own issues to deal with.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/calhoun-heros-duty-wreck-it-ralph.jpeg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-1082\" alt=\"calhoun-hero's-duty-wreck-it-ralph\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/calhoun-heros-duty-wreck-it-ralph-300x125.jpeg\" width=\"300\" height=\"125\" \/><\/a>Director Rich Moore did\u00a0a great job pandering to gamers. If you\u2019ve ever spent time in an arcade, in front of an Nintendo, or played any other gaming device for hours on end, you\u2019ll love this movie. You\u2019ll wish you had a pause button so you could scan through the bustling Game Central Station, hoping to catch a glimpse of your favorite childhood video game character. Because Ralph is filled with so many nostalgic moments, adults will find the movie just as enjoyable as the kids.\r\n\r\nThe story jumps from one game world to another, which could have been disorienting if done incorrectly; however, great care was taken to assure that the worlds were both visually jarring yet cohesive. Fix-It Felix, Jr. has a limited color palette and is filled with 8-bit features (even the characters move robotically). Contrast that to the high-definition CGI world of Hero\u2019s Duty or the bright, colorful world of Sugar Rush. It\u2019s almost as if you\u2019re watching three different movies. But it just works. I can\u2019t really think of a movie that has attempted this multi-style before, but I loved it.\r\n\r\n<em>Wreck-It Ralph<\/em> isn\u2019t just one of the best animated films of the year, it\u2019s one of the best comedies of the year. Come ready to laugh and to laugh frequently. The humor varies (much like the visuals throughout) ranging from clever gamer jokes to potty humor (mostly delivered by Vanellope). I would have preferred for Disney to take the high ground and avoid the bathroom humor, but alas, the kids in the audience (and many adults) went wild over them. 1 point: Disney; 0 points: me.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/wreck-it-ralph-sugar-rush-racers.jpeg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-1080 alignright\" alt=\"wreck-it-ralph-sugar-rush-racers\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/wreck-it-ralph-sugar-rush-racers-300x125.jpeg\" width=\"300\" height=\"125\" \/><\/a>Having already seen the movie in its very crude form at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/10\">test screening<\/a> a few month ago, I didn\u2019t think I could like the movie more than I already did. But seeing the complete, polished version was incredible. I was smiling and laughing throughout the entire film (not to mention salivating every time the scrumptious world of Sugar Rush came on the screen).\r\n\r\n<em>Wreck-It Ralph<\/em> is a landmark achievement for Walt Disney Animation Studios. It\u2019s success (both critically and commercially) proves to me that Walt Disney animation is back. Thank goodness! The studio went through a rough patch in 2000s, but seeing Disney succeed in bringing such a fresh and original story to life is satisfying (and CGI nonetheless). I can now anxiously anticipate what gems the studio will bring to theatres in the upcoming years.\r\n\r\n<em>Wreck-It Ralph <\/em>is hands down one of the best animated films of the year. You\u2019ll laugh, you\u2019ll cry and you\u2019ll leave in a much better mood than when you arrived. Whether you\u2019re a gamer, kid, parent, single, animation lover or not, this movie has something for everybody.

Along the way she learns more of her own origins and meets new friends that will be around for a long time.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>The Film \u2605\u2605\u2605 1\/2<\/strong>\r\nI was able to watch this film in theatres with my 6-year-old niece. I thought it would be good to get a balanced opinion of the show and win some \u201cSuper Cool Aunt\u201d points while I was at it. After learning a lot about the franchise and even the title character\u2014<span class=\"s1\">Tinker<\/span> <span class=\"s1\">Bell\u2014<\/span>from director Peggy Holmes on our trip to Destination D (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/18\">Episode 18<\/a>), I was\u00a0intrigued\u00a0with what was going to be coming out.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Adventurous Tinker Bell sneaks into the forbidden Winter Woods in order to discover the secret of her glowing, sparking wings. Along the way, she meets a frost fairy named Periwinkle and together they set out to solve the mystery of the wings. But they need to hurry before their forbidden friendship is destroyed forever.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I have to say I was very impressed. I actually really enjoyed myself. There were even a few moments where I said to myself \u201cWow, I like this movie!\u201d However, these moments wore off as the end got predictably sappy and tied everything up in a little bow\u2026and that is why it went straight to DVD.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">In it\u2019s favor, the animation, music, and\u00a0characters\u00a0were all consistent and it didn\u2019t drag on.\u00a0I will also say that if they had wanted to, they only would have needed to improve on a few things and it could have been good enough for any\u00a0audience\u00a0on any screen. As it is, it was still an enjoyable movie.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1076\" alt=\"Periwinkle-and-Tinker-Bell\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Periwinkle-and-Tinker-Bell-300x168.jpeg\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>The Features \u2605\u2605<\/strong>\r\nThe features on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B007MDB548\/ref=as_li_ss_til?tag=therotos-20&camp=0&creative=0&linkCode=as4&creativeASIN=B007MDB548&adid=0ZAJR2GYQM1HTQVN4EWR&\">Flitterific Fairies Double Pack Blu-Ray<\/a> were a bit weak. I halway expected \u201cPixie Hollow Games\u201d to just be some lame game section that most kiddie DVDs contain. I was pleasantly surprised when I realized that this was a full, 22-minute short! <em>Pixie Hollow Games <\/em>tells the story of the fairies version of the Olmpics and\u00a0focuses on Rosetta and the rest of the garden fairies, who have pitifully come in last place every year. The short was fun, surprisingly well animated and a welcome addition to the features.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The other short is is preview of what I assume is an upcoming short <em>Fright Light<\/em>. It was a bit dissapointing, but I guess whet your palette for what to expect in the <em>next<\/em>\u00a0Tinker Bell film. The other two features are two music videos of which I personally was not a fan. So all the extras in total are a short, a preview of a short and two music videos.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Final Thoughts\r\n<\/strong>It would get \u201cRent it\u201d status, but then again\u2026don\u2019t rent it.

The characters will be voiced by Jay Baruchel, America Ferrera, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, T.J. Miller, Tim Conway, Chris Edgerly, Mark Hamill, Julie Marcus, Nolan North, Zack Pearlman, Stephen Root and Tom Wilson.\r\n\r\nDreamWorks will kick off <em>DreamWorks Dragons: Riders of Berk<\/em>\u00a0on November 3 by debuting two episodes back to back\u00a0after a broadcast of <em>How to Train Your Dragon. <\/em>After the initial premiere, the series will air Thursday nights at 6:30 pm.\r\n\r\nDreamWorks has experienced incredible success with its other spin-off series such as <em>The Penguins of Madagascar<\/em> and <em>Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness<\/em>. It seems a no-brainer that this new series will be a hit for DreamWorks considering the film its based on was such a commercial hit ($495 million worldwide box-office gross, anyone?). It\u2019s interesting that DreamWorks has chosen to debut this series in Canada instead of the United States, which is a much bigger market.\r\n\r\nWhile I\u2019m excited for this series, I worry that DreamWorks could dilute the <em>How to Train Your Dragon <\/em>brand with too many ventures. In addition to the new TV series, there are already two sequels in development set for a 2014 and 2016 release. The series could either do two things: continue to maintain and grow interest or oversaturate consumers with too much <em>Dragon<\/em>.\r\n\r\nWill you toon into the debut of <em>DreamWorks Dragons: Riders of Berk<\/em>? Do you think this will help the brand or hurt it?

look at\u00a0familiar\u00a0legends and shows them in an all new light. In a battle that spans the globe, Santa Claus a.k.a. North\u00a0(<strong>Alec Baldwin<\/strong>),\u00a0the Easter Bunny (<strong>Hugh Jackman<\/strong>), the Tooth Fairy (<strong>Isla Fisher<\/strong>), the\u00a0Sandman, Jack Frost (<strong>Chris Pine<\/strong>) and even the bogeyman Pitch (<strong>Jude Law<\/strong>) are all\u00a0wrapped\u00a0up in the same world and fighting for the belief and\u00a0attentions\u00a0of the children of today.\r\n<div>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">After many months of hearing about this film, I was doubtful if it would be good. I didn\u2019t like the character designs from the posters because I didn\u2019t want to give up my vision of these icons.\u00a0Tattooed\u00a0Santa, giant Easter Bunny, feathery Tooth Fairy\u2026I\u2019m a traditionalist and that\u00a0just\u00a0scared me. Interestingly enough, when put into the context of this story, I was\u00a0pleasantly\u00a0surprised to have really enjoyed myself.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The film dives into more detail on the mythos behind this group of legends as a whole and individually. Particularly the movie focuses on Jack Frost and his mysterious origins. I found myself believing it all and cheering on my favorites. While many of the films in the DreamWorks canon support themselves mostly on silliness,\u00a0slapstick\u00a0comedy, and then followed up by a\u00a0plethora\u00a0of\u00a0sequels,\u00a0\u2018Rise of the Guardians\u2019 really does draw you in and makes you a part of the action.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The animation was crisp and stunning. It seems almost photoreal at times (there was a scene where the minion-like elves offered a plate of cookies and I could have sworn it was real). DreamWorks really has outdone themselves and presented the world with a wonderful and beautiful animated film.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">3D notes:\u00a0I personally enjoyed the 3D. Only twice or so did they use it to give the \u201cclose enough to touch\u201d feel that enchants children, but so often gives me headaches. It was used classily and added a rich depth to the animation.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Final thoughts:\u00a0Watch it. This movie is in close\u00a0contention\u00a0for the best animated film of the year!<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p3\">\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605<span class=\"s1\">1\/2<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\nChelsea Robson\r\n<a class=\"twitter-follow-button\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/chelsearobson\">Follow @chelsearobson<\/a>\r\n\r\n[youtube=http:\/\/youtu.be\/VWtJ8eHzoNI]\r\n\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\/\/ <![CDATA[\r\n!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,\"script\",\"twitter-wjs\");\r\n\/\/ ]]><\/script>","post_title":"DreamWorks' Storytelling Gets Bonus Points for 'Rise of the Guardians'","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"dreamworks-storytelling-gets-bonus-points-for-rise-of-the-guardians","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2013-09-25 17:24:21","post_modified_gmt":"2013-09-26 00:24:21","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/2012\/11\/21\/dreamworks-storytelling-gets-bonus-points-for-rise-of-the-guardians\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"1","filter":"raw"},{"ID":788,"post_author":"4","post_date":"2012-11-15 19:49:38","post_date_gmt":"2012-11-16 02:49:38","post_content":"First and foremost: <em>The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2<\/em> shamelessly caters to fans (and appreciatively so). The film immediately picks up where <em>Part 1<\/em> left off and doesn\u2019t go to too many efforts to rehash and explain what\u2019s going on. These films were always made for the fans and, at this point, I don\u2019t think the filmmakers are too concerned about trying to convert new followers to the fandom.\r\n\r\nIn <em>Breaking Dawn Part 2<\/em>, we find Bella (<strong>Kristen Stewart<\/strong>) revived from the dead as a gloriously perfect vampire after an almost fatal pregnancy. All Bella\u2019s imperfections and clumsiness are gone as she\u2019s now finally on the same level as her newly wedded mate, Edward (<strong>Robert Pattinson<\/strong>). Bella quickly learns that her longtime admirer Jacob (<strong>Taylor Lautner<\/strong>) has imprinted on her newborn daughter Renesmee (<strong>Mackenzie Foy<\/strong>), who has special abilities of her own. However, the Cullen coven must scramble when they realize that the Volturi have discovered about Renesmee and are on their way to punish the Cullens for their treacherous actions.\r\n\r\n<em>Breaking Dawn Part 2<\/em> has everything a Twihard wants in a <em>Twilight <\/em>film: hot vampire Bella, shirtless Jacob, cute-as-a-button Renesmee, snobby Rosalie and arm-wrestling Emmett, just to name a few. While I can\u2019t say it\u2019s my favorite film of the franchise, it far outdoes the book for once. The film starts out with an old-school style opening credits sequence, which I thought was a nice touch. It sort of built on the already-there anticipation, making the first moments of Bella as a vampire even sweeter.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Twilight-Breaking-Dawn-Part-2-Running.jpeg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1077 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Twilight-Breaking-Dawn-Part-2-Running.jpeg\" alt=\"Twilight-Breaking-Dawn-Part-2-Running\" width=\"470\" height=\"265\" \/><\/a>The source material, the book <em>Breaking Dawn <\/em>by Stephenie Meyer, wasn\u2019t the epic conclusion to the saga that fans were expecting or wanting. Critics claimed it was too soft and that everything peacefully (and non-violently) wrapped up in a nice bow. I can assure you that this film takes a major (some would argue slight) departure from the book that will leave fans utterly shocked, yet satisfied. There were many times that I audibly said, \u201cDid they really just do that?\u201d and looked around to see if other fans were reacting the same way (answer: they were).\r\n\r\nThe animation and special effects were ok. I feel the wolves were perfected in <em>Eclipse<\/em> and have essentially maintained their strong aesthetic through the <em>Breaking Dawn<\/em> films. The special effects, on the other hand, were far from spectacular. You would think a billion-dollar franchise would be able to invest in better special effects by now, but alas, it doesn\u2019t appear to be the case. The biggest feat is Renesmee, who appears at different ages throughout the film. Mackenzie Foy\u2019s (who was 10 years old at the time of film) face was digitally placed on younger versions of herself, which worked for the most part (although my friend did comment that it looked a bit creepy).\r\n\r\nWhile the film is far from epic, as a fan it left me happy, giddy and satisfied. It made me want to go back and read the books again. There were just enough surprises that made watching the film fun and exciting. Now, however, when my mom inevitably takes my dad to see this, I don\u2019t think he\u2019ll have the same reaction. But again, <em>Breaking Dawn Part 2<\/em> was meant solely for fans. And it definitely delivers.\r\n\r\n\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605\r\n\r\nMorgan Stradling\r\n<a class=\"twitter-follow-button\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MorganStradling\">Follow @MorganStradling<\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\/\/ <![CDATA[ !function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,\"script\",\"twitter-wjs\"); \/\/ ]]><\/script>","post_title":"'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2' Review: A Satisfying Shock for Twihards","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"review-the-twilight-saga-breaking-dawn-part-2","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-02-06 21:54:20","post_modified_gmt":"2025-02-07 04:54:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/2012\/11\/15\/review-the-twilight-saga-breaking-dawn-part-2\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":684,"post_author":"4","post_date":"2012-11-13 16:20:13","post_date_gmt":"2012-11-13 23:20:13","post_content":"\r\n<p>This episode is dedicated to the wonderful world of video games!

September was a perfect time to release the film as families started gearing up for Halloween. The monster-themed movie continued to have legs well into October as the nation\u2019s haunted festivities continued to grow.\r\n\r\nThe film is still quite early in development; however, director Genndy Tartakovsky will not be returning to direct the sequel as he\u2019s currently tied up working on the Sony\u2019s CGI Popeye film, which will be released one year earlier on September 26, 2014. No word yet on if the voice cast (featuring <strong>Adam Sandler<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Andy Samberg<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Kevin James<\/strong>, and\u00a0<strong>Selena Gomez<\/strong>) will reprise their roles.\r\n\r\nWhat are your thoughts on a Hotel Transylvania sequel?

The studio has a legacy animation greatness with films such as <em>Pinocchio<\/em>, <em>The Little Mermaid<\/em> and <em>The Lion King<\/em>. I can happily say, that <em>Ralph<\/em>\u00a0has earned its place on the Walt Disney animation leader board. It is one of the best Disney films made in years.\r\n\r\n<em>Wreck-It Ralph<\/em>\u00a0tells the story of an old-school arcade bad guy Ralph, who decides that after 30 years of wrecking and smashing buildings, he doesn\u2019t want to be a bad guy anymore. Ralph (voiced by <strong>John C. Reilly<\/strong>) is the antagonist of Fix-It Felix, Jr., a fictional 1980s arcade game at Litwak\u2019s Arcade that has remained semi-popular over the years despite newer, bigger and better games taking over the arcade\u2019s real estate.\r\n\r\nTo prove to denizens of Fix-It Felix, Jr that he\u2019s a good guy, Ralph goes on a quest to obtain a shiny medal\u2014the badge of all heroes and good guys. Ralph then stumbles into a Halo-esque first person shooter called Hero\u2019s Duty and \u201cearns\u201d his long-awaited medal, but with it accidentally unleashes a deadly threat into the girly Japanese go-kart game Sugar Rush. Stranded in Sugar Rush, Ralph meets a Vanellope von Schweetz (<strong>Sarah Silverman<\/strong>), an annoying glitch who becomes a thorn in Ralph\u2019s side. It\u2019s up to Fix-It Felix Jr. (<strong>Jack McBrayer<\/strong>) and Sergeant Calhoun (<strong>Jane Lynch<\/strong>) to find Ralph and bring him back to his game before it\u2019s too late, while Ralph and Vanellope have their own issues to deal with.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/calhoun-heros-duty-wreck-it-ralph.jpeg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-1082\" alt=\"calhoun-hero's-duty-wreck-it-ralph\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/calhoun-heros-duty-wreck-it-ralph-300x125.jpeg\" width=\"300\" height=\"125\" \/><\/a>Director Rich Moore did\u00a0a great job pandering to gamers. If you\u2019ve ever spent time in an arcade, in front of an Nintendo, or played any other gaming device for hours on end, you\u2019ll love this movie. You\u2019ll wish you had a pause button so you could scan through the bustling Game Central Station, hoping to catch a glimpse of your favorite childhood video game character. Because Ralph is filled with so many nostalgic moments, adults will find the movie just as enjoyable as the kids.\r\n\r\nThe story jumps from one game world to another, which could have been disorienting if done incorrectly; however, great care was taken to assure that the worlds were both visually jarring yet cohesive. Fix-It Felix, Jr. has a limited color palette and is filled with 8-bit features (even the characters move robotically). Contrast that to the high-definition CGI world of Hero\u2019s Duty or the bright, colorful world of Sugar Rush. It\u2019s almost as if you\u2019re watching three different movies. But it just works. I can\u2019t really think of a movie that has attempted this multi-style before, but I loved it.\r\n\r\n<em>Wreck-It Ralph<\/em> isn\u2019t just one of the best animated films of the year, it\u2019s one of the best comedies of the year. Come ready to laugh and to laugh frequently. The humor varies (much like the visuals throughout) ranging from clever gamer jokes to potty humor (mostly delivered by Vanellope). I would have preferred for Disney to take the high ground and avoid the bathroom humor, but alas, the kids in the audience (and many adults) went wild over them. 1 point: Disney; 0 points: me.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/wreck-it-ralph-sugar-rush-racers.jpeg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-1080 alignright\" alt=\"wreck-it-ralph-sugar-rush-racers\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/wreck-it-ralph-sugar-rush-racers-300x125.jpeg\" width=\"300\" height=\"125\" \/><\/a>Having already seen the movie in its very crude form at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/10\">test screening<\/a> a few month ago, I didn\u2019t think I could like the movie more than I already did. But seeing the complete, polished version was incredible. I was smiling and laughing throughout the entire film (not to mention salivating every time the scrumptious world of Sugar Rush came on the screen).\r\n\r\n<em>Wreck-It Ralph<\/em> is a landmark achievement for Walt Disney Animation Studios. It\u2019s success (both critically and commercially) proves to me that Walt Disney animation is back. Thank goodness! The studio went through a rough patch in 2000s, but seeing Disney succeed in bringing such a fresh and original story to life is satisfying (and CGI nonetheless). I can now anxiously anticipate what gems the studio will bring to theatres in the upcoming years.\r\n\r\n<em>Wreck-It Ralph <\/em>is hands down one of the best animated films of the year. You\u2019ll laugh, you\u2019ll cry and you\u2019ll leave in a much better mood than when you arrived. Whether you\u2019re a gamer, kid, parent, single, animation lover or not, this movie has something for everybody. Bravo, Disney!\r\n\r\n\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605 1\/2\r\n\r\nMorgan Stradling\r\n<a class=\"twitter-follow-button\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MorganStradling\">Follow @MorganStradling<\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\/\/ <![CDATA[\r\n!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,\"script\",\"twitter-wjs\");\r\n\/\/ ]]><\/script>","post_title":"[REVIEW] Disney's Hilarious, Nostalgic & Clever 'Wreck-It Ralph' Lands High Score","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"review-disneys-hilarious-nostalgic-clever-wreck-it-ralph-lands-high-score","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2013-09-25 17:24:42","post_modified_gmt":"2013-09-26 00:24:42","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/2012\/11\/03\/review-disneys-hilarious-nostalgic-clever-wreck-it-ralph-lands-high-score\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":683,"post_author":"4","post_date":"2012-10-30 17:09:53","post_date_gmt":"2012-10-31 00:09:53","post_content":"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>In this episode,\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/news\/tag\/wreck-it-ralph\">Wreck-it Ralph<\/a><\/em>\u2019s Animation Supervisor\u2014<strong>Renato Dos Anjos<\/strong>\u2014talks about his life and work at Disney Animation Studios.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:html -->\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?e=ADV4190772609&light=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:html -->\r\n<h3><span id=\"internal-source-marker_0.5457142158411443\">Highlights<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><span id=\"internal-source-marker_0.5457142158411443\">About Renato: originally from S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil and wanted to be in comic books<br \/><\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span id=\"internal-source-marker_0.5457142158411443\">Started with Disney\u2014it\u2019s all about who you know<br \/><\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span id=\"internal-source-marker_0.5457142158411443\">How did he get involved in the <em>Wreck-It Ralph<\/em> project?<br \/><\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span id=\"internal-source-marker_0.5457142158411443\">Relationship with the director, Rich Moore<br \/><\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span id=\"internal-source-marker_0.5457142158411443\">How Disney fills positions within the company<br \/><\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span id=\"internal-source-marker_0.5457142158411443\">Working with Art Director, Mike Gabriel<br \/><\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span id=\"internal-source-marker_0.5457142158411443\">Did <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/10\">Episode 10<\/a>\u00a0really go through the whole animation department?

After learning a lot about the franchise and even the title character\u2014<span class=\"s1\">Tinker<\/span> <span class=\"s1\">Bell\u2014<\/span>from director Peggy Holmes on our trip to Destination D (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/18\">Episode 18<\/a>), I was\u00a0intrigued\u00a0with what was going to be coming out.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Adventurous Tinker Bell sneaks into the forbidden Winter Woods in order to discover the secret of her glowing, sparking wings. Along the way, she meets a frost fairy named Periwinkle and together they set out to solve the mystery of the wings. But they need to hurry before their forbidden friendship is destroyed forever.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I have to say I was very impressed. I actually really enjoyed myself. There were even a few moments where I said to myself \u201cWow, I like this movie!\u201d However, these moments wore off as the end got predictably sappy and tied everything up in a little bow\u2026and that is why it went straight to DVD.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">In it\u2019s favor, the animation, music, and\u00a0characters\u00a0were all consistent and it didn\u2019t drag on.\u00a0I will also say that if they had wanted to, they only would have needed to improve on a few things and it could have been good enough for any\u00a0audience\u00a0on any screen. As it is, it was still an enjoyable movie.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1076\" alt=\"Periwinkle-and-Tinker-Bell\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Periwinkle-and-Tinker-Bell-300x168.jpeg\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>The Features \u2605\u2605<\/strong>\r\nThe features on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B007MDB548\/ref=as_li_ss_til?tag=therotos-20&camp=0&creative=0&linkCode=as4&creativeASIN=B007MDB548&adid=0ZAJR2GYQM1HTQVN4EWR&\">Flitterific Fairies Double Pack Blu-Ray<\/a> were a bit weak. I halway expected \u201cPixie Hollow Games\u201d to just be some lame game section that most kiddie DVDs contain. I was pleasantly surprised when I realized that this was a full, 22-minute short! <em>Pixie Hollow Games <\/em>tells the story of the fairies version of the Olmpics and\u00a0focuses on Rosetta and the rest of the garden fairies, who have pitifully come in last place every year. The short was fun, surprisingly well animated and a welcome addition to the features.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The other short is is preview of what I assume is an upcoming short <em>Fright Light<\/em>. It was a bit dissapointing, but I guess whet your palette for what to expect in the <em>next<\/em>\u00a0Tinker Bell film. The other two features are two music videos of which I personally was not a fan. So all the extras in total are a short, a preview of a short and two music videos.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Final Thoughts\r\n<\/strong>It would get \u201cRent it\u201d status, but then again\u2026don\u2019t rent it.

The characters will be voiced by Jay Baruchel, America Ferrera, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, T.J. Miller, Tim Conway, Chris Edgerly, Mark Hamill, Julie Marcus, Nolan North, Zack Pearlman, Stephen Root and Tom Wilson.\r\n\r\nDreamWorks will kick off <em>DreamWorks Dragons: Riders of Berk<\/em>\u00a0on November 3 by debuting two episodes back to back\u00a0after a broadcast of <em>How to Train Your Dragon. <\/em>After the initial premiere, the series will air Thursday nights at 6:30 pm.\r\n\r\nDreamWorks has experienced incredible success with its other spin-off series such as <em>The Penguins of Madagascar<\/em> and <em>Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness<\/em>. It seems a no-brainer that this new series will be a hit for DreamWorks considering the film its based on was such a commercial hit ($495 million worldwide box-office gross, anyone?). It\u2019s interesting that DreamWorks has chosen to debut this series in Canada instead of the United States, which is a much bigger market.\r\n\r\nWhile I\u2019m excited for this series, I worry that DreamWorks could dilute the <em>How to Train Your Dragon <\/em>brand with too many ventures. In addition to the new TV series, there are already two sequels in development set for a 2014 and 2016 release. The series could either do two things: continue to maintain and grow interest or oversaturate consumers with too much <em>Dragon<\/em>.\r\n\r\nWill you toon into the debut of <em>DreamWorks Dragons: Riders of Berk<\/em>? Do you think this will help the brand or hurt it?

Along the way she learns more of her own origins and meets new friends that will be around for a long time.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>The Film \u2605\u2605\u2605 1\/2<\/strong>\r\nI was able to watch this film in theatres with my 6-year-old niece. I thought it would be good to get a balanced opinion of the show and win some \u201cSuper Cool Aunt\u201d points while I was at it. After learning a lot about the franchise and even the title character\u2014<span class=\"s1\">Tinker<\/span> <span class=\"s1\">Bell\u2014<\/span>from director Peggy Holmes on our trip to Destination D (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/18\">Episode 18<\/a>), I was\u00a0intrigued\u00a0with what was going to be coming out.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Adventurous Tinker Bell sneaks into the forbidden Winter Woods in order to discover the secret of her glowing, sparking wings. Along the way, she meets a frost fairy named Periwinkle and together they set out to solve the mystery of the wings. But they need to hurry before their forbidden friendship is destroyed forever.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I have to say I was very impressed. I actually really enjoyed myself. There were even a few moments where I said to myself \u201cWow, I like this movie!\u201d However, these moments wore off as the end got predictably sappy and tied everything up in a little bow\u2026and that is why it went straight to DVD.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">In it\u2019s favor, the animation, music, and\u00a0characters\u00a0were all consistent and it didn\u2019t drag on.\u00a0I will also say that if they had wanted to, they only would have needed to improve on a few things and it could have been good enough for any\u00a0audience\u00a0on any screen. As it is, it was still an enjoyable movie.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1076\" alt=\"Periwinkle-and-Tinker-Bell\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Periwinkle-and-Tinker-Bell-300x168.jpeg\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>The Features \u2605\u2605<\/strong>\r\nThe features on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B007MDB548\/ref=as_li_ss_til?tag=therotos-20&camp=0&creative=0&linkCode=as4&creativeASIN=B007MDB548&adid=0ZAJR2GYQM1HTQVN4EWR&\">Flitterific Fairies Double Pack Blu-Ray<\/a> were a bit weak. I halway expected \u201cPixie Hollow Games\u201d to just be some lame game section that most kiddie DVDs contain. I was pleasantly surprised when I realized that this was a full, 22-minute short! <em>Pixie Hollow Games <\/em>tells the story of the fairies version of the Olmpics and\u00a0focuses on Rosetta and the rest of the garden fairies, who have pitifully come in last place every year. The short was fun, surprisingly well animated and a welcome addition to the features.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The other short is is preview of what I assume is an upcoming short <em>Fright Light<\/em>. It was a bit dissapointing, but I guess whet your palette for what to expect in the <em>next<\/em>\u00a0Tinker Bell film. The other two features are two music videos of which I personally was not a fan. So all the extras in total are a short, a preview of a short and two music videos.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Final Thoughts\r\n<\/strong>It would get \u201cRent it\u201d status, but then again\u2026don\u2019t rent it.

The characters will be voiced by Jay Baruchel, America Ferrera, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, T.J. Miller, Tim Conway, Chris Edgerly, Mark Hamill, Julie Marcus, Nolan North, Zack Pearlman, Stephen Root and Tom Wilson.\r\n\r\nDreamWorks will kick off <em>DreamWorks Dragons: Riders of Berk<\/em>\u00a0on November 3 by debuting two episodes back to back\u00a0after a broadcast of <em>How to Train Your Dragon. <\/em>After the initial premiere, the series will air Thursday nights at 6:30 pm.\r\n\r\nDreamWorks has experienced incredible success with its other spin-off series such as <em>The Penguins of Madagascar<\/em> and <em>Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness<\/em>. It seems a no-brainer that this new series will be a hit for DreamWorks considering the film its based on was such a commercial hit ($495 million worldwide box-office gross, anyone?). It\u2019s interesting that DreamWorks has chosen to debut this series in Canada instead of the United States, which is a much bigger market.\r\n\r\nWhile I\u2019m excited for this series, I worry that DreamWorks could dilute the <em>How to Train Your Dragon <\/em>brand with too many ventures. In addition to the new TV series, there are already two sequels in development set for a 2014 and 2016 release. The series could either do two things: continue to maintain and grow interest or oversaturate consumers with too much <em>Dragon<\/em>.\r\n\r\nWill you toon into the debut of <em>DreamWorks Dragons: Riders of Berk<\/em>? Do you think this will help the brand or hurt it?

Along the way she learns more of her own origins and meets new friends that will be around for a long time.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>The Film \u2605\u2605\u2605 1\/2<\/strong>\r\nI was able to watch this film in theatres with my 6-year-old niece. I thought it would be good to get a balanced opinion of the show and win some \u201cSuper Cool Aunt\u201d points while I was at it. After learning a lot about the franchise and even the title character\u2014<span class=\"s1\">Tinker<\/span> <span class=\"s1\">Bell\u2014<\/span>from director Peggy Holmes on our trip to Destination D (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/18\">Episode 18<\/a>), I was\u00a0intrigued\u00a0with what was going to be coming out.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Adventurous Tinker Bell sneaks into the forbidden Winter Woods in order to discover the secret of her glowing, sparking wings. Along the way, she meets a frost fairy named Periwinkle and together they set out to solve the mystery of the wings. But they need to hurry before their forbidden friendship is destroyed forever.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I have to say I was very impressed. I actually really enjoyed myself. There were even a few moments where I said to myself \u201cWow, I like this movie!\u201d However, these moments wore off as the end got predictably sappy and tied everything up in a little bow\u2026and that is why it went straight to DVD.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">In it\u2019s favor, the animation, music, and\u00a0characters\u00a0were all consistent and it didn\u2019t drag on.\u00a0I will also say that if they had wanted to, they only would have needed to improve on a few things and it could have been good enough for any\u00a0audience\u00a0on any screen. As it is, it was still an enjoyable movie.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1076\" alt=\"Periwinkle-and-Tinker-Bell\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Periwinkle-and-Tinker-Bell-300x168.jpeg\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>The Features \u2605\u2605<\/strong>\r\nThe features on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B007MDB548\/ref=as_li_ss_til?tag=therotos-20&camp=0&creative=0&linkCode=as4&creativeASIN=B007MDB548&adid=0ZAJR2GYQM1HTQVN4EWR&\">Flitterific Fairies Double Pack Blu-Ray<\/a> were a bit weak. I halway expected \u201cPixie Hollow Games\u201d to just be some lame game section that most kiddie DVDs contain. I was pleasantly surprised when I realized that this was a full, 22-minute short! <em>Pixie Hollow Games <\/em>tells the story of the fairies version of the Olmpics and\u00a0focuses on Rosetta and the rest of the garden fairies, who have pitifully come in last place every year. The short was fun, surprisingly well animated and a welcome addition to the features.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The other short is is preview of what I assume is an upcoming short <em>Fright Light<\/em>. It was a bit dissapointing, but I guess whet your palette for what to expect in the <em>next<\/em>\u00a0Tinker Bell film. The other two features are two music videos of which I personally was not a fan. So all the extras in total are a short, a preview of a short and two music videos.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Final Thoughts\r\n<\/strong>It would get \u201cRent it\u201d status, but then again\u2026don\u2019t rent it.

The characters will be voiced by Jay Baruchel, America Ferrera, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, T.J. Miller, Tim Conway, Chris Edgerly, Mark Hamill, Julie Marcus, Nolan North, Zack Pearlman, Stephen Root and Tom Wilson.\r\n\r\nDreamWorks will kick off <em>DreamWorks Dragons: Riders of Berk<\/em>\u00a0on November 3 by debuting two episodes back to back\u00a0after a broadcast of <em>How to Train Your Dragon. <\/em>After the initial premiere, the series will air Thursday nights at 6:30 pm.\r\n\r\nDreamWorks has experienced incredible success with its other spin-off series such as <em>The Penguins of Madagascar<\/em> and <em>Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness<\/em>. It seems a no-brainer that this new series will be a hit for DreamWorks considering the film its based on was such a commercial hit ($495 million worldwide box-office gross, anyone?). It\u2019s interesting that DreamWorks has chosen to debut this series in Canada instead of the United States, which is a much bigger market.\r\n\r\nWhile I\u2019m excited for this series, I worry that DreamWorks could dilute the <em>How to Train Your Dragon <\/em>brand with too many ventures. In addition to the new TV series, there are already two sequels in development set for a 2014 and 2016 release. The series could either do two things: continue to maintain and grow interest or oversaturate consumers with too much <em>Dragon<\/em>.\r\n\r\nWill you toon into the debut of <em>DreamWorks Dragons: Riders of Berk<\/em>?

Obviously, Sony is trying to emulate the film\u2019s surprising September box office success that\u00a0has\u00a0raked in over $253 million worldwide. September was a perfect time to release the film as families started gearing up for Halloween. The monster-themed movie continued to have legs well into October as the nation\u2019s haunted festivities continued to grow.\r\n\r\nThe film is still quite early in development; however, director Genndy Tartakovsky will not be returning to direct the sequel as he\u2019s currently tied up working on the Sony\u2019s CGI Popeye film, which will be released one year earlier on September 26, 2014. No word yet on if the voice cast (featuring <strong>Adam Sandler<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Andy Samberg<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Kevin James<\/strong>, and\u00a0<strong>Selena Gomez<\/strong>) will reprise their roles.\r\n\r\nWhat are your thoughts on a Hotel Transylvania sequel?

The studio has a legacy animation greatness with films such as <em>Pinocchio<\/em>, <em>The Little Mermaid<\/em> and <em>The Lion King<\/em>. I can happily say, that <em>Ralph<\/em>\u00a0has earned its place on the Walt Disney animation leader board. It is one of the best Disney films made in years.\r\n\r\n<em>Wreck-It Ralph<\/em>\u00a0tells the story of an old-school arcade bad guy Ralph, who decides that after 30 years of wrecking and smashing buildings, he doesn\u2019t want to be a bad guy anymore. Ralph (voiced by <strong>John C. Reilly<\/strong>) is the antagonist of Fix-It Felix, Jr., a fictional 1980s arcade game at Litwak\u2019s Arcade that has remained semi-popular over the years despite newer, bigger and better games taking over the arcade\u2019s real estate.\r\n\r\nTo prove to denizens of Fix-It Felix, Jr that he\u2019s a good guy, Ralph goes on a quest to obtain a shiny medal\u2014the badge of all heroes and good guys. Ralph then stumbles into a Halo-esque first person shooter called Hero\u2019s Duty and \u201cearns\u201d his long-awaited medal, but with it accidentally unleashes a deadly threat into the girly Japanese go-kart game Sugar Rush. Stranded in Sugar Rush, Ralph meets a Vanellope von Schweetz (<strong>Sarah Silverman<\/strong>), an annoying glitch who becomes a thorn in Ralph\u2019s side. It\u2019s up to Fix-It Felix Jr. (<strong>Jack McBrayer<\/strong>) and Sergeant Calhoun (<strong>Jane Lynch<\/strong>) to find Ralph and bring him back to his game before it\u2019s too late, while Ralph and Vanellope have their own issues to deal with.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/calhoun-heros-duty-wreck-it-ralph.jpeg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-1082\" alt=\"calhoun-hero's-duty-wreck-it-ralph\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/calhoun-heros-duty-wreck-it-ralph-300x125.jpeg\" width=\"300\" height=\"125\" \/><\/a>Director Rich Moore did\u00a0a great job pandering to gamers. If you\u2019ve ever spent time in an arcade, in front of an Nintendo, or played any other gaming device for hours on end, you\u2019ll love this movie. You\u2019ll wish you had a pause button so you could scan through the bustling Game Central Station, hoping to catch a glimpse of your favorite childhood video game character. Because Ralph is filled with so many nostalgic moments, adults will find the movie just as enjoyable as the kids.\r\n\r\nThe story jumps from one game world to another, which could have been disorienting if done incorrectly; however, great care was taken to assure that the worlds were both visually jarring yet cohesive. Fix-It Felix, Jr. has a limited color palette and is filled with 8-bit features (even the characters move robotically). Contrast that to the high-definition CGI world of Hero\u2019s Duty or the bright, colorful world of Sugar Rush. It\u2019s almost as if you\u2019re watching three different movies. But it just works. I can\u2019t really think of a movie that has attempted this multi-style before, but I loved it.\r\n\r\n<em>Wreck-It Ralph<\/em> isn\u2019t just one of the best animated films of the year, it\u2019s one of the best comedies of the year. Come ready to laugh and to laugh frequently. The humor varies (much like the visuals throughout) ranging from clever gamer jokes to potty humor (mostly delivered by Vanellope). I would have preferred for Disney to take the high ground and avoid the bathroom humor, but alas, the kids in the audience (and many adults) went wild over them. 1 point: Disney; 0 points: me.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/wreck-it-ralph-sugar-rush-racers.jpeg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-1080 alignright\" alt=\"wreck-it-ralph-sugar-rush-racers\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/wreck-it-ralph-sugar-rush-racers-300x125.jpeg\" width=\"300\" height=\"125\" \/><\/a>Having already seen the movie in its very crude form at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/10\">test screening<\/a> a few month ago, I didn\u2019t think I could like the movie more than I already did. But seeing the complete, polished version was incredible. I was smiling and laughing throughout the entire film (not to mention salivating every time the scrumptious world of Sugar Rush came on the screen).\r\n\r\n<em>Wreck-It Ralph<\/em> is a landmark achievement for Walt Disney Animation Studios. It\u2019s success (both critically and commercially) proves to me that Walt Disney animation is back. Thank goodness! The studio went through a rough patch in 2000s, but seeing Disney succeed in bringing such a fresh and original story to life is satisfying (and CGI nonetheless). I can now anxiously anticipate what gems the studio will bring to theatres in the upcoming years.\r\n\r\n<em>Wreck-It Ralph <\/em>is hands down one of the best animated films of the year. You\u2019ll laugh, you\u2019ll cry and you\u2019ll leave in a much better mood than when you arrived. Whether you\u2019re a gamer, kid, parent, single, animation lover or not, this movie has something for everybody. Bravo, Disney!\r\n\r\n\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605 1\/2\r\n\r\nMorgan Stradling\r\n<a class=\"twitter-follow-button\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MorganStradling\">Follow @MorganStradling<\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\/\/ <![CDATA[\r\n!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,\"script\",\"twitter-wjs\");\r\n\/\/ ]]><\/script>","post_title":"[REVIEW] Disney's Hilarious, Nostalgic & Clever 'Wreck-It Ralph' Lands High Score","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"review-disneys-hilarious-nostalgic-clever-wreck-it-ralph-lands-high-score","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2013-09-25 17:24:42","post_modified_gmt":"2013-09-26 00:24:42","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/2012\/11\/03\/review-disneys-hilarious-nostalgic-clever-wreck-it-ralph-lands-high-score\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":683,"post_author":"4","post_date":"2012-10-30 17:09:53","post_date_gmt":"2012-10-31 00:09:53","post_content":"\r\n<p>In this episode,\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/news\/tag\/wreck-it-ralph\">Wreck-it Ralph<\/a><\/em>\u2019s Animation Supervisor\u2014<strong>Renato Dos Anjos<\/strong>\u2014talks about his life and work at Disney Animation Studios.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:html -->\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?e=ADV4190772609&light=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:html -->\r\n<h3><span id=\"internal-source-marker_0.5457142158411443\">Highlights<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><span id=\"internal-source-marker_0.5457142158411443\">About Renato: originally from S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil and wanted to be in comic books<br \/><\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span id=\"internal-source-marker_0.5457142158411443\">Started with Disney\u2014it\u2019s all about who you know<br \/><\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span id=\"internal-source-marker_0.5457142158411443\">How did he get involved in the <em>Wreck-It Ralph<\/em> project?<br \/><\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span id=\"internal-source-marker_0.5457142158411443\">Relationship with the director, Rich Moore<br \/><\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span id=\"internal-source-marker_0.5457142158411443\">How Disney fills positions within the company<br \/><\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span id=\"internal-source-marker_0.5457142158411443\">Working with Art Director, Mike Gabriel<br \/><\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span id=\"internal-source-marker_0.5457142158411443\">Did <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/10\">Episode 10<\/a>\u00a0really go through the whole animation department?

After learning a lot about the franchise and even the title character\u2014<span class=\"s1\">Tinker<\/span> <span class=\"s1\">Bell\u2014<\/span>from director Peggy Holmes on our trip to Destination D (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/18\">Episode 18<\/a>), I was\u00a0intrigued\u00a0with what was going to be coming out.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Adventurous Tinker Bell sneaks into the forbidden Winter Woods in order to discover the secret of her glowing, sparking wings. Along the way, she meets a frost fairy named Periwinkle and together they set out to solve the mystery of the wings. But they need to hurry before their forbidden friendship is destroyed forever.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I have to say I was very impressed. I actually really enjoyed myself. There were even a few moments where I said to myself \u201cWow, I like this movie!\u201d However, these moments wore off as the end got predictably sappy and tied everything up in a little bow\u2026and that is why it went straight to DVD.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">In it\u2019s favor, the animation, music, and\u00a0characters\u00a0were all consistent and it didn\u2019t drag on.\u00a0I will also say that if they had wanted to, they only would have needed to improve on a few things and it could have been good enough for any\u00a0audience\u00a0on any screen. As it is, it was still an enjoyable movie.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1076\" alt=\"Periwinkle-and-Tinker-Bell\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Periwinkle-and-Tinker-Bell-300x168.jpeg\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>The Features \u2605\u2605<\/strong>\r\nThe features on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B007MDB548\/ref=as_li_ss_til?tag=therotos-20&camp=0&creative=0&linkCode=as4&creativeASIN=B007MDB548&adid=0ZAJR2GYQM1HTQVN4EWR&\">Flitterific Fairies Double Pack Blu-Ray<\/a> were a bit weak. I halway expected \u201cPixie Hollow Games\u201d to just be some lame game section that most kiddie DVDs contain. I was pleasantly surprised when I realized that this was a full, 22-minute short! <em>Pixie Hollow Games <\/em>tells the story of the fairies version of the Olmpics and\u00a0focuses on Rosetta and the rest of the garden fairies, who have pitifully come in last place every year. The short was fun, surprisingly well animated and a welcome addition to the features.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The other short is is preview of what I assume is an upcoming short <em>Fright Light<\/em>. It was a bit dissapointing, but I guess whet your palette for what to expect in the <em>next<\/em>\u00a0Tinker Bell film. The other two features are two music videos of which I personally was not a fan. So all the extras in total are a short, a preview of a short and two music videos.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Final Thoughts\r\n<\/strong>It would get \u201cRent it\u201d status, but then again\u2026don\u2019t rent it.

The characters will be voiced by Jay Baruchel, America Ferrera, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, T.J. Miller, Tim Conway, Chris Edgerly, Mark Hamill, Julie Marcus, Nolan North, Zack Pearlman, Stephen Root and Tom Wilson.\r\n\r\nDreamWorks will kick off <em>DreamWorks Dragons: Riders of Berk<\/em>\u00a0on November 3 by debuting two episodes back to back\u00a0after a broadcast of <em>How to Train Your Dragon. <\/em>After the initial premiere, the series will air Thursday nights at 6:30 pm.\r\n\r\nDreamWorks has experienced incredible success with its other spin-off series such as <em>The Penguins of Madagascar<\/em> and <em>Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness<\/em>. It seems a no-brainer that this new series will be a hit for DreamWorks considering the film its based on was such a commercial hit ($495 million worldwide box-office gross, anyone?). It\u2019s interesting that DreamWorks has chosen to debut this series in Canada instead of the United States, which is a much bigger market.\r\n\r\nWhile I\u2019m excited for this series, I worry that DreamWorks could dilute the <em>How to Train Your Dragon <\/em>brand with too many ventures. In addition to the new TV series, there are already two sequels in development set for a 2014 and 2016 release. The series could either do two things: continue to maintain and grow interest or oversaturate consumers with too much <em>Dragon<\/em>.\r\n\r\nWill you toon into the debut of <em>DreamWorks Dragons: Riders of Berk<\/em>? Do you think this will help the brand or hurt it?

Obviously, Sony is trying to emulate the film\u2019s surprising September box office success that\u00a0has\u00a0raked in over $253 million worldwide. September was a perfect time to release the film as families started gearing up for Halloween. The monster-themed movie continued to have legs well into October as the nation\u2019s haunted festivities continued to grow.\r\n\r\nThe film is still quite early in development; however, director Genndy Tartakovsky will not be returning to direct the sequel as he\u2019s currently tied up working on the Sony\u2019s CGI Popeye film, which will be released one year earlier on September 26, 2014. No word yet on if the voice cast (featuring <strong>Adam Sandler<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Andy Samberg<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Kevin James<\/strong>, and\u00a0<strong>Selena Gomez<\/strong>) will reprise their roles.\r\n\r\nWhat are your thoughts on a Hotel Transylvania sequel?

The studio has a legacy animation greatness with films such as <em>Pinocchio<\/em>, <em>The Little Mermaid<\/em> and <em>The Lion King<\/em>. I can happily say, that <em>Ralph<\/em>\u00a0has earned its place on the Walt Disney animation leader board. It is one of the best Disney films made in years.\r\n\r\n<em>Wreck-It Ralph<\/em>\u00a0tells the story of an old-school arcade bad guy Ralph, who decides that after 30 years of wrecking and smashing buildings, he doesn\u2019t want to be a bad guy anymore. Ralph (voiced by <strong>John C. Reilly<\/strong>) is the antagonist of Fix-It Felix, Jr., a fictional 1980s arcade game at Litwak\u2019s Arcade that has remained semi-popular over the years despite newer, bigger and better games taking over the arcade\u2019s real estate.\r\n\r\nTo prove to denizens of Fix-It Felix, Jr that he\u2019s a good guy, Ralph goes on a quest to obtain a shiny medal\u2014the badge of all heroes and good guys. Ralph then stumbles into a Halo-esque first person shooter called Hero\u2019s Duty and \u201cearns\u201d his long-awaited medal, but with it accidentally unleashes a deadly threat into the girly Japanese go-kart game Sugar Rush. Stranded in Sugar Rush, Ralph meets a Vanellope von Schweetz (<strong>Sarah Silverman<\/strong>), an annoying glitch who becomes a thorn in Ralph\u2019s side. It\u2019s up to Fix-It Felix Jr. (<strong>Jack McBrayer<\/strong>) and Sergeant Calhoun (<strong>Jane Lynch<\/strong>) to find Ralph and bring him back to his game before it\u2019s too late, while Ralph and Vanellope have their own issues to deal with.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/calhoun-heros-duty-wreck-it-ralph.jpeg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-1082\" alt=\"calhoun-hero's-duty-wreck-it-ralph\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/calhoun-heros-duty-wreck-it-ralph-300x125.jpeg\" width=\"300\" height=\"125\" \/><\/a>Director Rich Moore did\u00a0a great job pandering to gamers. If you\u2019ve ever spent time in an arcade, in front of an Nintendo, or played any other gaming device for hours on end, you\u2019ll love this movie. You\u2019ll wish you had a pause button so you could scan through the bustling Game Central Station, hoping to catch a glimpse of your favorite childhood video game character. Because Ralph is filled with so many nostalgic moments, adults will find the movie just as enjoyable as the kids.\r\n\r\nThe story jumps from one game world to another, which could have been disorienting if done incorrectly; however, great care was taken to assure that the worlds were both visually jarring yet cohesive. Fix-It Felix, Jr. has a limited color palette and is filled with 8-bit features (even the characters move robotically). Contrast that to the high-definition CGI world of Hero\u2019s Duty or the bright, colorful world of Sugar Rush. It\u2019s almost as if you\u2019re watching three different movies. But it just works. I can\u2019t really think of a movie that has attempted this multi-style before, but I loved it.\r\n\r\n<em>Wreck-It Ralph<\/em> isn\u2019t just one of the best animated films of the year, it\u2019s one of the best comedies of the year. Come ready to laugh and to laugh frequently. The humor varies (much like the visuals throughout) ranging from clever gamer jokes to potty humor (mostly delivered by Vanellope). I would have preferred for Disney to take the high ground and avoid the bathroom humor, but alas, the kids in the audience (and many adults) went wild over them. 1 point: Disney; 0 points: me.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/wreck-it-ralph-sugar-rush-racers.jpeg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-1080 alignright\" alt=\"wreck-it-ralph-sugar-rush-racers\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/wreck-it-ralph-sugar-rush-racers-300x125.jpeg\" width=\"300\" height=\"125\" \/><\/a>Having already seen the movie in its very crude form at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/10\">test screening<\/a> a few month ago, I didn\u2019t think I could like the movie more than I already did. But seeing the complete, polished version was incredible. I was smiling and laughing throughout the entire film (not to mention salivating every time the scrumptious world of Sugar Rush came on the screen).\r\n\r\n<em>Wreck-It Ralph<\/em> is a landmark achievement for Walt Disney Animation Studios. It\u2019s success (both critically and commercially) proves to me that Walt Disney animation is back. Thank goodness! The studio went through a rough patch in 2000s, but seeing Disney succeed in bringing such a fresh and original story to life is satisfying (and CGI nonetheless). I can now anxiously anticipate what gems the studio will bring to theatres in the upcoming years.\r\n\r\n<em>Wreck-It Ralph <\/em>is hands down one of the best animated films of the year. You\u2019ll laugh, you\u2019ll cry and you\u2019ll leave in a much better mood than when you arrived. Whether you\u2019re a gamer, kid, parent, single, animation lover or not, this movie has something for everybody.

Along the way she learns more of her own origins and meets new friends that will be around for a long time.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>The Film \u2605\u2605\u2605 1\/2<\/strong>\r\nI was able to watch this film in theatres with my 6-year-old niece. I thought it would be good to get a balanced opinion of the show and win some \u201cSuper Cool Aunt\u201d points while I was at it. After learning a lot about the franchise and even the title character\u2014<span class=\"s1\">Tinker<\/span> <span class=\"s1\">Bell\u2014<\/span>from director Peggy Holmes on our trip to Destination D (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/18\">Episode 18<\/a>), I was\u00a0intrigued\u00a0with what was going to be coming out.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Adventurous Tinker Bell sneaks into the forbidden Winter Woods in order to discover the secret of her glowing, sparking wings. Along the way, she meets a frost fairy named Periwinkle and together they set out to solve the mystery of the wings. But they need to hurry before their forbidden friendship is destroyed forever.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I have to say I was very impressed. I actually really enjoyed myself. There were even a few moments where I said to myself \u201cWow, I like this movie!\u201d However, these moments wore off as the end got predictably sappy and tied everything up in a little bow\u2026and that is why it went straight to DVD.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">In it\u2019s favor, the animation, music, and\u00a0characters\u00a0were all consistent and it didn\u2019t drag on.\u00a0I will also say that if they had wanted to, they only would have needed to improve on a few things and it could have been good enough for any\u00a0audience\u00a0on any screen. As it is, it was still an enjoyable movie.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1076\" alt=\"Periwinkle-and-Tinker-Bell\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Periwinkle-and-Tinker-Bell-300x168.jpeg\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>The Features \u2605\u2605<\/strong>\r\nThe features on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B007MDB548\/ref=as_li_ss_til?tag=therotos-20&camp=0&creative=0&linkCode=as4&creativeASIN=B007MDB548&adid=0ZAJR2GYQM1HTQVN4EWR&\">Flitterific Fairies Double Pack Blu-Ray<\/a> were a bit weak. I halway expected \u201cPixie Hollow Games\u201d to just be some lame game section that most kiddie DVDs contain. I was pleasantly surprised when I realized that this was a full, 22-minute short! <em>Pixie Hollow Games <\/em>tells the story of the fairies version of the Olmpics and\u00a0focuses on Rosetta and the rest of the garden fairies, who have pitifully come in last place every year. The short was fun, surprisingly well animated and a welcome addition to the features.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The other short is is preview of what I assume is an upcoming short <em>Fright Light<\/em>. It was a bit dissapointing, but I guess whet your palette for what to expect in the <em>next<\/em>\u00a0Tinker Bell film. The other two features are two music videos of which I personally was not a fan. So all the extras in total are a short, a preview of a short and two music videos.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Final Thoughts\r\n<\/strong>It would get \u201cRent it\u201d status, but then again\u2026don\u2019t rent it.

The characters will be voiced by Jay Baruchel, America Ferrera, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, T.J. Miller, Tim Conway, Chris Edgerly, Mark Hamill, Julie Marcus, Nolan North, Zack Pearlman, Stephen Root and Tom Wilson.\r\n\r\nDreamWorks will kick off <em>DreamWorks Dragons: Riders of Berk<\/em>\u00a0on November 3 by debuting two episodes back to back\u00a0after a broadcast of <em>How to Train Your Dragon. <\/em>After the initial premiere, the series will air Thursday nights at 6:30 pm.\r\n\r\nDreamWorks has experienced incredible success with its other spin-off series such as <em>The Penguins of Madagascar<\/em> and <em>Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness<\/em>. It seems a no-brainer that this new series will be a hit for DreamWorks considering the film its based on was such a commercial hit ($495 million worldwide box-office gross, anyone?). It\u2019s interesting that DreamWorks has chosen to debut this series in Canada instead of the United States, which is a much bigger market.\r\n\r\nWhile I\u2019m excited for this series, I worry that DreamWorks could dilute the <em>How to Train Your Dragon <\/em>brand with too many ventures. In addition to the new TV series, there are already two sequels in development set for a 2014 and 2016 release. The series could either do two things: continue to maintain and grow interest or oversaturate consumers with too much <em>Dragon<\/em>.\r\n\r\nWill you toon into the debut of <em>DreamWorks Dragons: Riders of Berk<\/em>? Do you think this will help the brand or hurt it?

look at\u00a0familiar\u00a0legends and shows them in an all new light. In a battle that spans the globe, Santa Claus a.k.a. North\u00a0(<strong>Alec Baldwin<\/strong>),\u00a0the Easter Bunny (<strong>Hugh Jackman<\/strong>), the Tooth Fairy (<strong>Isla Fisher<\/strong>), the\u00a0Sandman, Jack Frost (<strong>Chris Pine<\/strong>) and even the bogeyman Pitch (<strong>Jude Law<\/strong>) are all\u00a0wrapped\u00a0up in the same world and fighting for the belief and\u00a0attentions\u00a0of the children of today.\r\n<div>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">After many months of hearing about this film, I was doubtful if it would be good. I didn\u2019t like the character designs from the posters because I didn\u2019t want to give up my vision of these icons.\u00a0Tattooed\u00a0Santa, giant Easter Bunny, feathery Tooth Fairy\u2026I\u2019m a traditionalist and that\u00a0just\u00a0scared me. Interestingly enough, when put into the context of this story, I was\u00a0pleasantly\u00a0surprised to have really enjoyed myself.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The film dives into more detail on the mythos behind this group of legends as a whole and individually. Particularly the movie focuses on Jack Frost and his mysterious origins. I found myself believing it all and cheering on my favorites. While many of the films in the DreamWorks canon support themselves mostly on silliness,\u00a0slapstick\u00a0comedy, and then followed up by a\u00a0plethora\u00a0of\u00a0sequels,\u00a0\u2018Rise of the Guardians\u2019 really does draw you in and makes you a part of the action.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The animation was crisp and stunning. It seems almost photoreal at times (there was a scene where the minion-like elves offered a plate of cookies and I could have sworn it was real). DreamWorks really has outdone themselves and presented the world with a wonderful and beautiful animated film.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">3D notes:\u00a0I personally enjoyed the 3D. Only twice or so did they use it to give the \u201cclose enough to touch\u201d feel that enchants children, but so often gives me headaches. It was used classily and added a rich depth to the animation.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Final thoughts:\u00a0Watch it. This movie is in close\u00a0contention\u00a0for the best animated film of the year!<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p3\">\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605<span class=\"s1\">1\/2<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\nChelsea Robson\r\n<a class=\"twitter-follow-button\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/chelsearobson\">Follow @chelsearobson<\/a>\r\n\r\n[youtube=http:\/\/youtu.be\/VWtJ8eHzoNI]\r\n\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\/\/ <![CDATA[\r\n!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,\"script\",\"twitter-wjs\");\r\n\/\/ ]]><\/script>","post_title":"DreamWorks' Storytelling Gets Bonus Points for 'Rise of the Guardians'","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"dreamworks-storytelling-gets-bonus-points-for-rise-of-the-guardians","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2013-09-25 17:24:21","post_modified_gmt":"2013-09-26 00:24:21","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/2012\/11\/21\/dreamworks-storytelling-gets-bonus-points-for-rise-of-the-guardians\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"1","filter":"raw"},{"ID":788,"post_author":"4","post_date":"2012-11-15 19:49:38","post_date_gmt":"2012-11-16 02:49:38","post_content":"First and foremost: <em>The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2<\/em> shamelessly caters to fans (and appreciatively so). The film immediately picks up where <em>Part 1<\/em> left off and doesn\u2019t go to too many efforts to rehash and explain what\u2019s going on. These films were always made for the fans and, at this point, I don\u2019t think the filmmakers are too concerned about trying to convert new followers to the fandom.\r\n\r\nIn <em>Breaking Dawn Part 2<\/em>, we find Bella (<strong>Kristen Stewart<\/strong>) revived from the dead as a gloriously perfect vampire after an almost fatal pregnancy. All Bella\u2019s imperfections and clumsiness are gone as she\u2019s now finally on the same level as her newly wedded mate, Edward (<strong>Robert Pattinson<\/strong>). Bella quickly learns that her longtime admirer Jacob (<strong>Taylor Lautner<\/strong>) has imprinted on her newborn daughter Renesmee (<strong>Mackenzie Foy<\/strong>), who has special abilities of her own. However, the Cullen coven must scramble when they realize that the Volturi have discovered about Renesmee and are on their way to punish the Cullens for their treacherous actions.\r\n\r\n<em>Breaking Dawn Part 2<\/em> has everything a Twihard wants in a <em>Twilight <\/em>film: hot vampire Bella, shirtless Jacob, cute-as-a-button Renesmee, snobby Rosalie and arm-wrestling Emmett, just to name a few. While I can\u2019t say it\u2019s my favorite film of the franchise, it far outdoes the book for once. The film starts out with an old-school style opening credits sequence, which I thought was a nice touch. It sort of built on the already-there anticipation, making the first moments of Bella as a vampire even sweeter.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Twilight-Breaking-Dawn-Part-2-Running.jpeg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1077 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Twilight-Breaking-Dawn-Part-2-Running.jpeg\" alt=\"Twilight-Breaking-Dawn-Part-2-Running\" width=\"470\" height=\"265\" \/><\/a>The source material, the book <em>Breaking Dawn <\/em>by Stephenie Meyer, wasn\u2019t the epic conclusion to the saga that fans were expecting or wanting. Critics claimed it was too soft and that everything peacefully (and non-violently) wrapped up in a nice bow. I can assure you that this film takes a major (some would argue slight) departure from the book that will leave fans utterly shocked, yet satisfied. There were many times that I audibly said, \u201cDid they really just do that?\u201d and looked around to see if other fans were reacting the same way (answer: they were).\r\n\r\nThe animation and special effects were ok. I feel the wolves were perfected in <em>Eclipse<\/em> and have essentially maintained their strong aesthetic through the <em>Breaking Dawn<\/em> films. The special effects, on the other hand, were far from spectacular. You would think a billion-dollar franchise would be able to invest in better special effects by now, but alas, it doesn\u2019t appear to be the case. The biggest feat is Renesmee, who appears at different ages throughout the film. Mackenzie Foy\u2019s (who was 10 years old at the time of film) face was digitally placed on younger versions of herself, which worked for the most part (although my friend did comment that it looked a bit creepy).\r\n\r\nWhile the film is far from epic, as a fan it left me happy, giddy and satisfied. It made me want to go back and read the books again. There were just enough surprises that made watching the film fun and exciting. Now, however, when my mom inevitably takes my dad to see this, I don\u2019t think he\u2019ll have the same reaction. But again, <em>Breaking Dawn Part 2<\/em> was meant solely for fans. And it definitely delivers.\r\n\r\n\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605\r\n\r\nMorgan Stradling\r\n<a class=\"twitter-follow-button\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MorganStradling\">Follow @MorganStradling<\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\/\/ <![CDATA[ !function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,\"script\",\"twitter-wjs\"); \/\/ ]]><\/script>","post_title":"'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2' Review: A Satisfying Shock for Twihards","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"review-the-twilight-saga-breaking-dawn-part-2","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-02-06 21:54:20","post_modified_gmt":"2025-02-07 04:54:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/2012\/11\/15\/review-the-twilight-saga-breaking-dawn-part-2\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":684,"post_author":"4","post_date":"2012-11-13 16:20:13","post_date_gmt":"2012-11-13 23:20:13","post_content":"\r\n<p>This episode is dedicated to the wonderful world of video games!

September was a perfect time to release the film as families started gearing up for Halloween. The monster-themed movie continued to have legs well into October as the nation\u2019s haunted festivities continued to grow.\r\n\r\nThe film is still quite early in development; however, director Genndy Tartakovsky will not be returning to direct the sequel as he\u2019s currently tied up working on the Sony\u2019s CGI Popeye film, which will be released one year earlier on September 26, 2014. No word yet on if the voice cast (featuring <strong>Adam Sandler<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Andy Samberg<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Kevin James<\/strong>, and\u00a0<strong>Selena Gomez<\/strong>) will reprise their roles.\r\n\r\nWhat are your thoughts on a Hotel Transylvania sequel?

The studio has a legacy animation greatness with films such as <em>Pinocchio<\/em>, <em>The Little Mermaid<\/em> and <em>The Lion King<\/em>. I can happily say, that <em>Ralph<\/em>\u00a0has earned its place on the Walt Disney animation leader board. It is one of the best Disney films made in years.\r\n\r\n<em>Wreck-It Ralph<\/em>\u00a0tells the story of an old-school arcade bad guy Ralph, who decides that after 30 years of wrecking and smashing buildings, he doesn\u2019t want to be a bad guy anymore. Ralph (voiced by <strong>John C. Reilly<\/strong>) is the antagonist of Fix-It Felix, Jr., a fictional 1980s arcade game at Litwak\u2019s Arcade that has remained semi-popular over the years despite newer, bigger and better games taking over the arcade\u2019s real estate.\r\n\r\nTo prove to denizens of Fix-It Felix, Jr that he\u2019s a good guy, Ralph goes on a quest to obtain a shiny medal\u2014the badge of all heroes and good guys. Ralph then stumbles into a Halo-esque first person shooter called Hero\u2019s Duty and \u201cearns\u201d his long-awaited medal, but with it accidentally unleashes a deadly threat into the girly Japanese go-kart game Sugar Rush. Stranded in Sugar Rush, Ralph meets a Vanellope von Schweetz (<strong>Sarah Silverman<\/strong>), an annoying glitch who becomes a thorn in Ralph\u2019s side. It\u2019s up to Fix-It Felix Jr. (<strong>Jack McBrayer<\/strong>) and Sergeant Calhoun (<strong>Jane Lynch<\/strong>) to find Ralph and bring him back to his game before it\u2019s too late, while Ralph and Vanellope have their own issues to deal with.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/calhoun-heros-duty-wreck-it-ralph.jpeg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-1082\" alt=\"calhoun-hero's-duty-wreck-it-ralph\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/calhoun-heros-duty-wreck-it-ralph-300x125.jpeg\" width=\"300\" height=\"125\" \/><\/a>Director Rich Moore did\u00a0a great job pandering to gamers. If you\u2019ve ever spent time in an arcade, in front of an Nintendo, or played any other gaming device for hours on end, you\u2019ll love this movie. You\u2019ll wish you had a pause button so you could scan through the bustling Game Central Station, hoping to catch a glimpse of your favorite childhood video game character. Because Ralph is filled with so many nostalgic moments, adults will find the movie just as enjoyable as the kids.\r\n\r\nThe story jumps from one game world to another, which could have been disorienting if done incorrectly; however, great care was taken to assure that the worlds were both visually jarring yet cohesive. Fix-It Felix, Jr. has a limited color palette and is filled with 8-bit features (even the characters move robotically). Contrast that to the high-definition CGI world of Hero\u2019s Duty or the bright, colorful world of Sugar Rush. It\u2019s almost as if you\u2019re watching three different movies. But it just works. I can\u2019t really think of a movie that has attempted this multi-style before, but I loved it.\r\n\r\n<em>Wreck-It Ralph<\/em> isn\u2019t just one of the best animated films of the year, it\u2019s one of the best comedies of the year. Come ready to laugh and to laugh frequently. The humor varies (much like the visuals throughout) ranging from clever gamer jokes to potty humor (mostly delivered by Vanellope). I would have preferred for Disney to take the high ground and avoid the bathroom humor, but alas, the kids in the audience (and many adults) went wild over them. 1 point: Disney; 0 points: me.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/wreck-it-ralph-sugar-rush-racers.jpeg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-1080 alignright\" alt=\"wreck-it-ralph-sugar-rush-racers\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/wreck-it-ralph-sugar-rush-racers-300x125.jpeg\" width=\"300\" height=\"125\" \/><\/a>Having already seen the movie in its very crude form at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/10\">test screening<\/a> a few month ago, I didn\u2019t think I could like the movie more than I already did. But seeing the complete, polished version was incredible. I was smiling and laughing throughout the entire film (not to mention salivating every time the scrumptious world of Sugar Rush came on the screen).\r\n\r\n<em>Wreck-It Ralph<\/em> is a landmark achievement for Walt Disney Animation Studios. It\u2019s success (both critically and commercially) proves to me that Walt Disney animation is back. Thank goodness! The studio went through a rough patch in 2000s, but seeing Disney succeed in bringing such a fresh and original story to life is satisfying (and CGI nonetheless). I can now anxiously anticipate what gems the studio will bring to theatres in the upcoming years.\r\n\r\n<em>Wreck-It Ralph <\/em>is hands down one of the best animated films of the year. You\u2019ll laugh, you\u2019ll cry and you\u2019ll leave in a much better mood than when you arrived. Whether you\u2019re a gamer, kid, parent, single, animation lover or not, this movie has something for everybody. Bravo, Disney!\r\n\r\n\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605 1\/2\r\n\r\nMorgan Stradling\r\n<a class=\"twitter-follow-button\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MorganStradling\">Follow @MorganStradling<\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\/\/ <![CDATA[\r\n!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,\"script\",\"twitter-wjs\");\r\n\/\/ ]]><\/script>","post_title":"[REVIEW] Disney's Hilarious, Nostalgic & Clever 'Wreck-It Ralph' Lands High Score","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"review-disneys-hilarious-nostalgic-clever-wreck-it-ralph-lands-high-score","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2013-09-25 17:24:42","post_modified_gmt":"2013-09-26 00:24:42","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/2012\/11\/03\/review-disneys-hilarious-nostalgic-clever-wreck-it-ralph-lands-high-score\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":683,"post_author":"4","post_date":"2012-10-30 17:09:53","post_date_gmt":"2012-10-31 00:09:53","post_content":"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>In this episode,\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/news\/tag\/wreck-it-ralph\">Wreck-it Ralph<\/a><\/em>\u2019s Animation Supervisor\u2014<strong>Renato Dos Anjos<\/strong>\u2014talks about his life and work at Disney Animation Studios.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:html -->\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?e=ADV4190772609&light=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:html -->\r\n<h3><span id=\"internal-source-marker_0.5457142158411443\">Highlights<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><span id=\"internal-source-marker_0.5457142158411443\">About Renato: originally from S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil and wanted to be in comic books<br \/><\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span id=\"internal-source-marker_0.5457142158411443\">Started with Disney\u2014it\u2019s all about who you know<br \/><\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span id=\"internal-source-marker_0.5457142158411443\">How did he get involved in the <em>Wreck-It Ralph<\/em> project?<br \/><\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span id=\"internal-source-marker_0.5457142158411443\">Relationship with the director, Rich Moore<br \/><\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span id=\"internal-source-marker_0.5457142158411443\">How Disney fills positions within the company<br \/><\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span id=\"internal-source-marker_0.5457142158411443\">Working with Art Director, Mike Gabriel<br \/><\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span id=\"internal-source-marker_0.5457142158411443\">Did <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/10\">Episode 10<\/a>\u00a0really go through the whole animation department?

After learning a lot about the franchise and even the title character\u2014<span class=\"s1\">Tinker<\/span> <span class=\"s1\">Bell\u2014<\/span>from director Peggy Holmes on our trip to Destination D (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/18\">Episode 18<\/a>), I was\u00a0intrigued\u00a0with what was going to be coming out.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Adventurous Tinker Bell sneaks into the forbidden Winter Woods in order to discover the secret of her glowing, sparking wings. Along the way, she meets a frost fairy named Periwinkle and together they set out to solve the mystery of the wings. But they need to hurry before their forbidden friendship is destroyed forever.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I have to say I was very impressed. I actually really enjoyed myself. There were even a few moments where I said to myself \u201cWow, I like this movie!\u201d However, these moments wore off as the end got predictably sappy and tied everything up in a little bow\u2026and that is why it went straight to DVD.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">In it\u2019s favor, the animation, music, and\u00a0characters\u00a0were all consistent and it didn\u2019t drag on.\u00a0I will also say that if they had wanted to, they only would have needed to improve on a few things and it could have been good enough for any\u00a0audience\u00a0on any screen. As it is, it was still an enjoyable movie.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1076\" alt=\"Periwinkle-and-Tinker-Bell\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Periwinkle-and-Tinker-Bell-300x168.jpeg\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>The Features \u2605\u2605<\/strong>\r\nThe features on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B007MDB548\/ref=as_li_ss_til?tag=therotos-20&camp=0&creative=0&linkCode=as4&creativeASIN=B007MDB548&adid=0ZAJR2GYQM1HTQVN4EWR&\">Flitterific Fairies Double Pack Blu-Ray<\/a> were a bit weak. I halway expected \u201cPixie Hollow Games\u201d to just be some lame game section that most kiddie DVDs contain. I was pleasantly surprised when I realized that this was a full, 22-minute short! <em>Pixie Hollow Games <\/em>tells the story of the fairies version of the Olmpics and\u00a0focuses on Rosetta and the rest of the garden fairies, who have pitifully come in last place every year. The short was fun, surprisingly well animated and a welcome addition to the features.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The other short is is preview of what I assume is an upcoming short <em>Fright Light<\/em>. It was a bit dissapointing, but I guess whet your palette for what to expect in the <em>next<\/em>\u00a0Tinker Bell film. The other two features are two music videos of which I personally was not a fan. So all the extras in total are a short, a preview of a short and two music videos.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Final Thoughts\r\n<\/strong>It would get \u201cRent it\u201d status, but then again\u2026don\u2019t rent it.

The characters will be voiced by Jay Baruchel, America Ferrera, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, T.J. Miller, Tim Conway, Chris Edgerly, Mark Hamill, Julie Marcus, Nolan North, Zack Pearlman, Stephen Root and Tom Wilson.\r\n\r\nDreamWorks will kick off <em>DreamWorks Dragons: Riders of Berk<\/em>\u00a0on November 3 by debuting two episodes back to back\u00a0after a broadcast of <em>How to Train Your Dragon. <\/em>After the initial premiere, the series will air Thursday nights at 6:30 pm.\r\n\r\nDreamWorks has experienced incredible success with its other spin-off series such as <em>The Penguins of Madagascar<\/em> and <em>Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness<\/em>. It seems a no-brainer that this new series will be a hit for DreamWorks considering the film its based on was such a commercial hit ($495 million worldwide box-office gross, anyone?). It\u2019s interesting that DreamWorks has chosen to debut this series in Canada instead of the United States, which is a much bigger market.\r\n\r\nWhile I\u2019m excited for this series, I worry that DreamWorks could dilute the <em>How to Train Your Dragon <\/em>brand with too many ventures. In addition to the new TV series, there are already two sequels in development set for a 2014 and 2016 release. The series could either do two things: continue to maintain and grow interest or oversaturate consumers with too much <em>Dragon<\/em>.\r\n\r\nWill you toon into the debut of <em>DreamWorks Dragons: Riders of Berk<\/em>? Do you think this will help the brand or hurt it?
