Purgatory is a seat on the Polar Express

So back in 4th grade, we all went to the auditorium to watch the polar express. For some reason, whenever anything whimsical or exciting happened, some of the kids started to excessively clap on purpose to piss off the teachers. As the movie went on, every single kid in the room started doing it. It got so bad that the teachers all went into a panic and had to turn the movie off because of how annoyed they were. It was the most special experience i had in elementary school

So, as someone who actually worked at IMD (yeah, i'm in that end credits scene of Mars Needs Mom, wishing for death to end my suffering) I have to say that even though the movies may be bad, I'm still proud of the work we did. True, the stories, character designs and editing may have been better, but that has more to do with the directors and writers than anything. As you said so your self, the animation and technology was getting better and the studio was developing really breakthrough stuff before getting shut down. Even though a lot of the tech and principles developed at IMD would later be used in almost every visual effects movie now, money talks and our movies didnt bring in what Disney expected. It really sucked being stuffed into a conference room and being told you just lost your job for something you had no control over (my rhythm &hues and Tell Tale friends know the feeling). But in the end, in a developmental aspect, IMD's tech was on to something and other studios knew this. So you can thank them and the development of motion Capture for all the cool game cinematics and VFX movies you see today.

As some who loved and grew up with both Polar Express and A Christmas Carol i must say it was pretty tragic to know everything went down hill for i.m.d , you guys clearly put a lot effrot in the films to make them visually appealing,and i must say the idea of one actor playing multiple roles with distinct designs that you can hardly recognize was pretty revolutionary .😄👌

Mars needs moms ruined my young childhood. I'm not even kidding. My dad got it from redbox when I asked and he probably just wanted a nap. I watched all of it and was horrified. It essentially made me paranoid to be apart from my mother right as I was getting out of that phase. I thought if my mom mowed the lawn, aliens would kidnap her. This might seem fickle, but I was scarred and about 2 years of my life were ruined. This is not a fucking joke.

Mars needs moms was the last film I saw with my mother before she passed away. I knew it was bad and that the visuals were wierd and I said it when we started watching it, but seeing how my mom, who was rarely able to enjoy stuff, enjoyed it anyway, I stayed in the living room and watched it with her. Instead of the bad things, I focused on the goos ones, like the message, which is now very fitting. That movie reminds me that my mother loved me and cared for me all the way until her last day. RIP

Polar Express has been one of my favorite movies for the longest time. It kept the spirit of the original book (lifting every scene from the original illustrations in the film in beautiful detail), had breathtaking visuals, amazing motion capture acting by Tom Hanks, gorgeous arctic landscapes, warm Christmas feelings, a bittersweet ending, and one of the best musical scores I’ve ever heard on film. Of course, I can agree it can be a bit unnerving to some with its graphics veering into uncanny valley territory, but it never really bothered me any now or as a kid.

The problem is, if they wanted to explore those themes, then *WRITE YOUR OWN STORY!* Don't bastardize a preexisting piece of literature. I understand that adaptations often take liberties, and sometimes it pays off greatly. Here it didn't, and not only that, the themes explored are just as cliched as the original. Only the original has an excuse because it's ancient. The reason Beowulf annoys people is the same reason shitty reboots annoy people. It changes what never needed to be changed when it could have just done its own thing. If it wasn't named Beowulf, and didn't pretend to be an adaptation nobody would be so annoyed. Then again, nobody would have seen it either.

If anything, its only a disappointment after seeing the movie, its a great story. I'm always going to defend the movie even though its clearly got its problems. One way to cope from its dissociation with the source material is to...you know, the same way of enjoying a film like we all enjoyed 300 even though it was so goddamn clear not well connected to the actual events of the 1st persian wars.

I've done some research and from what I've gathered, the animation style was criticized for looking too creepy. In that case, the fact that Disney actually rejected the idea of a remake of Yellow Submarine with Robert himself may have been for the best. Though honestly, I think it's the CGI might be the issue and not the motion capture. Then again, Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children didn't look so creepy.

Polar express is a really pretty movie if you can trick your brain into not looking at the people as trying to look like people.

mocap is a valid technique, the problem Image was that they wanted to make the character look as realistic as possible. A good animator will use mocap as a guideline, but will add his own artistry to it, to make it more animated.

@@warbossgegguz679 I'd hazard a guess that a lot of the more bothersome characteristics of mo-cap stick out more in film just because you're more used to seeing uncanniness in games anyhow. Or, it could just be that the film industry was less skilled with the technical aspects than the game industry was. Closer to the tech, worked with it longer (or at least more frequently), it seems reasonable that it'd be better in games. Or it might just be that it was more sparse in games. There might be a sweet spot where a little mo-cap is great, but too much and you really start to notice.

@warbossgegguz679

5 жыл бұрын

@@SaberToothPortilla I think the difference is that in video games they aren't typically aiming for realism. Also, games utilize mocap primarily for the sake of convenience. Most games that utilize mocap have a lot of in-engine cutscenes or cinematic shots, so having mocap to go off of helps with the animation process when you don't have time to pre-render everything. Plus, pre-rendering usually hampers immersion. Everything suddenly looking 10 times better out of nowhere will do that.

@warbossgegguz679

5 жыл бұрын

@@HydraSpectre1138 I mean, examples of games that extensively use mocap that spring to mind immediately for me are DMC, Metal Gear, basically every 3D fighting game, and Uncharted, all of which feature semi-realistic character designs, and all of which have mostly in-engine cutscenes/animation. So basically, if they want to render semi-realistic characters on the fly in video games, odds are they use mocap just because it's way easier and more efficient. Hence most of these movies still by and large have more advanced visuals than most of the games I just listed (save for the more recent ones like MGSV or DMC5). Because it's not about looking pretty, it's about convenience. It's just easier to use mocap footage as a base than to keyframe everything in when you're not going for cartoony animation.

The Polar Express is one of my all time favourite movies. I watch it every single Christmas. I ALSO watch Disney’s A Christmas Carol, the Mocap one, every Christmas. And guess what I watch every Halloween? MONSTER HOUSE. On the other side of things, Mars needs Moms is one of my LEAST favourite movies.

At the time none of this stuff was creepy to me and I as pretty blown away by them (well specifically Beowulf and Polar Express). The problem with these films is they were all advertised as technical marvels which is a bad idea because the films NEVER age well. As a side note this is my first time hearing so many people hated Beowulf seemed like everyone in my class really enjoyed reading it.

Am I the only person who doesn't mind the more "realistic" looking CG movies? Like Polar Express. I actually think it looks pretty cool. Maybe its because I am a huge 3d art nerd. As a 3d modeler and animator, I can't help but to stare in awe at some of these movies. They did stuff that I thought I would never see in my life time. I think it would be cool to have some kind of youtube series where 3d artists look at and breakdown the art in these movies.

"Beowulf" -- Another odd thing. Disney's "Maleficent" is often accused of ripping off "Wicked," and with good reason. But plotwise, it's more of a ripoff of "Beowulf," a film nobody seems to remember (besides PanPizza and me.) A guy is tasked with slaying a supernatural Angelina Jolie, but he can't bring himself to do it. He lies to the aging king, claiming he succeeded, thus winning the hand of the princess and becoming the next king. But Jolie returns years later to exact her revenge...with the help of dragon.
