Friendly reminder that Sony shelved this for fucking emojis.
Hopefully they shut down that branch entirely and nothing else sees the light of day.
>work in animation field
>learn about animation with examples from the old wise men of Disney who were true masters of the craft.
>absorb all kinds of short animated films from all over the world and get exposed to a multitude of styles and approaches
>get an entry level job at a big studio as a part-time "pipeline" tech intern literally making sure a hot dog fucking a bun or an emoji farting gets rendered properly or that some guy gets his file on time
A counterpoint, if I may
Do you really want the people responsible for the Emoji Movie in charge of a Popeye movie?

Maybe it was a different writer?The trailer was pretty good.
We will never see this ass in an 1hr 31m feature. Why even live?

Every so often when the planets align in such a way, does Sony create that one good film. I truly believe if Tartakovsky had his way with the project that Popeye would such that film.
But no... We gotta be trendy and shit. I swear fucking emoji movie is the most contemporary garbage I've seen in a while.

It was Tartarkovsky, literally the most kino western animation director.

yeah because whenever people talk about great animation, fucking Hotel Transylvania 3 is what comes to mind

That movie isn't even out yet. Try for something deep cut like Tiny Toons, Dexter's Lab, Samurai Jack, Space Ghost Coast to Coast.

Nothing wrong with the animation style. It's at least competent for what it is. Maybe a little variation between films would be nice. When I look at "Hotel Transylvania" and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs it's impossible to distinguish one from the other outside the worlds the two movies inhabit.
