Eternal Usagi-Chan Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 Hey everyone!! I just saw Ice Age last night with Mulan and P-chan... It is so HILARIOUS!! The cutest part of the cartoon is every single part the squirrel comes out... Has anyone else seen it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mulan Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 Ice Age totally rocked! I really like Dennis Leary as the Sabretooth Tiger. Pixar did a really good job with the animation. But should this topic be in the Anime section. Shouldn't it go under movies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eternal Usagi-Chan Posted March 17, 2002 Author Share Posted March 17, 2002 I guess it would, but this movie does fall under animation... hence this is the anime section of the forum... maybe I should move it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JunkerSeed Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 I just finished seeing this one with my sis, and it was pretty cool. The muskrat thing was definately the highlight (which furthers my point that animals that dont talk are FUNNIER), utterly hilarious. Other favortie part for me was the Dodo army "protecting their way of life." hehe. Oh, and a correction, I noticed Ice age is by 20th century fox, not disney's pixar.... that kinda messes up some of our conversations... ??? Still good stuff tho. Oh, and this does belong here in anime, I forget when but we specified a while back that this does include american animation too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aoi Inu Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 The squirrel kicks ass!! It has problems with it's nut... :p Overall the storyline was cute. Some people are saying that the storyline was too general and didn't make much sense. :plain: Baca. It was really cute! I am buying it for sure!

JunkerSeed Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 It's a fookin' cartoon. If a character's motivations didn't seem clearly defined or if they thought the storyline wasn't beleiveable that's cause it's a movie about talking prehistoric animals made for 10 year olds... gotta just lighten up sometimes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aoi Inu Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 :plain: To make a movie, you need a storyline... no matter what kind of movie it is. Besides that, just because it's animated doesn't mean that it's for 10 year olds. I know adults that watch cartoons and play Video games and they are respectable. They work full-time, have kids, and still have time to watch what you call "10 year olds'" cartoons. For your information, the target audience ranges for animations have lately been for teens and adults as well as kids (usually 17 and up; like anime). If you want something more "mature" go watch Hentai!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 Mmmm.....hentai. Wha? Argh. Ok fine just for Alita & her new reign over this corner... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JunkerSeed Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 Ack, seems I struck a nerve. You got me all wrong, and you put a hundred million words in my mouth, I never ever said that everything animated is for 10 year olds. I said that THIS movie is for kids, not that everything animated is for kids. I am one of the adults that watches anime and plays video games. But I will tell you that this particular movie was a cartoon and it was pretty much made for kids. In this one, the storyline was indeed nonexistant, I could tell you everything that was gonna happen from the minute each character opened his mouth. The characters were cookie cutter types you've seen in a billion other movies before (the tough loner who's really a softie inside, the comic releif, the ***SPOILER (if ya didn't see it coming for some odd reason....*** bad guy who sees the err of his ways). They just threw in some generic plot so that they could spend their time getting some good jokes in. This movie was pretty fun and worth watching but in no way does it rank up there with the classic stuff. Shrek had jokes intended for adults ("eat me!") and poked fun at fairy tales, and noone I know is dumb enough to call anime immature. I didn't mention if the story line was good or not because the storyline was certainly not the point of the movie, the laughs and visuals were, and I thought that they worked well enough. I didn't judge this one with the standards I use for other movies, because it would be unfair. Other animated movies are made with adults in mind as well as kids, this one wasn't, IMO.

Eternal Usagi-Chan Posted March 18, 2002 Author Share Posted March 18, 2002 I thought the Dodo army was hilarious as well!! i couldn't stop laughing cause they are so stupid.... (ofcourse their dodo birds) Please P-chan don't get so offended by what people write in these forums. Sometimes you got to read twice what they are talking about. In this case, I'm siding with Junkerseed. :wary: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aoi Inu Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 :dissappointed: I didn't get offended. I was just arguing my point. It's though cause it was a misunderstanding on my behalf. :plain: Alita, you know me... I'm just like Jose; I make a big deal out of nothing. :p Sorry, Junkerseed but even though it is true that it's the same pattern of storyline, it's still cute. Now a days there is not much creative thinking when it comes to some movies though. It seems like people (at least here in the US) are running out of ideas. It's sad...

JunkerSeed Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 Nah, I understand, when you're a fan of anything out of the ordinary, you tend to get defensive when it seems that someone is criticizing it unfairly.(I've been know to belt out "COMICS ARE STUPID!?? Frank Miller writes better than john "I write for hollywood" grisham any day!!!!!") I know a million people that think Anime and RPGs are immature, yet they go out and watch whatever movie the TV is telling them to. Lets see, Ghost in the Shell is about man & machine and evolution and "Bones" is about snoop dog killing people.... gee, I wonder which is more mature.... So I understand about having to defend something you feel strongly about when a million people are usually badmouthing it. Probably shoulda been more clear on my definition of "cartoon." And I'm not saying I wished the storyline was more "adult." damn... I mean, imagine if the whole thing would have been about the mammoth's past and the genocide as humans took over the world... My sister would have been crying her eyes out, and the movie would pretty much cease to be funny... While I still strongly think they need to make one without speech (a 45 minute movie about the muskrat!!!! Dammit why not?) as long as they make traditional animated movies, uncomplicated storylines like this are just fine with me. Sure, it could have been better, but if you want every movie to be the Godfather (of in this case, want every CG movie to be Shrek), you might as well not watch anything. Glad to clear stuff up and still say it was fun, which was the whole point of watching if I remember right....

Mulan Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 one thing is for sure...Frank Miller rocks. Man I'm dying to finish reading DKSB. Atleast the people making the new batman year one movie were smart enough to bring miller on the team. We don't really need another tank girl do we? :ill: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JunkerSeed Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 Year one ***WILL*** rock. Darren Arronsofsky, one of my favorite new directors is making it and miller is writing it... if it isn't the best batman movie yet I'll end my life on the day it opens. :werd: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperEeyore Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 I also was with P-Chan Mulan and Alita.. (even though Alita left me out its all good) I had a blast I thought that the movie was hilarious. And that Skat ****aka the Squirrel was hilarious. I loved the Sherades. and the coconut was too funny. And I love the fact that John Leguizamo was Sid I mean he is hilarious. He went through 30 voices before he choose the one he used. (he also has a great stand up comedy show called Freak and has a new one coming out called Sexaholic...GOO HBO!!!) I have to agree with what Junkerseed says though I mean think about it Snoopy never talked...and he was funny what about Tom and Jerry when they did talk they had sofisticated voices and what about the Pink Panther??? and before Mickey could speak. Cartoons are now made not to make you laugh but just to entertain you. I like the old fashioned cartoons where you laughed cause one of them tripped and hit a rake or something....(sings like Edith) those were the daaaaaaaaaaayyyyyssss!!! :werd: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eternal Usagi-Chan Posted March 18, 2002 Author Share Posted March 18, 2002 Ok, now that we are talking about John Leguizamo (I think that is how you spell his last name) I have a question... What was his character supposed to be? I don't remember seeing that kind of species in the ice age, and I know there must be many others that we don't know of, but seriously... what is he?? *Note*- I'm glad P-chan and Junkerseed talked it through!!

King of Snake Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 Haven't seen Ice Age yet but I think the one you're on about is a sloth? :thinking: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eternal Usagi-Chan Posted March 31, 2002 Author Share Posted March 31, 2002 Anime doesn't necessarily mean Japanese Animation. An anime is any regular cartoon. Disney is also animation. So why can't Ice age be under this topic?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arc Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 no anime is the short for japanese animation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 Right and homo is short for homo sapien eh eh eh? But that's not how you mean it...here itll serve as anime = animation (except not comics dammit those ones are mine! ) :kodama: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperEeyore Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 soo soo there....ha....:::hides behind Nick::: and anyways who cares what you think it still animation artistic plus if you don't like it make your own forum... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aoi Inu Posted April 2, 2002 Share Posted April 2, 2002 sure put you in your place, Artistic. Just one thing to say to you... BACA!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snake-eyes Posted April 2, 2002 Share Posted April 2, 2002 Well... Er, back to ice. It was too, too funny. I mean thatm prehistoric squirrel was to die for. I only wish they had done more with it. I'm guessing here, but i think they had planned to do more with it. I especially love Diago's rendition of where's the baby. THERE HE IS! Just great.
