I don't really mind the double dipping. When I get TCD 2, I'll watch it in order, and I don't want to have to switch to OTFL just to see a couple of shorts. Same thing with OTFL. On a side note: Since the Donald sets don't include the shorts that star Mickey, Donald and Goofy, will there be a separa...

My Brother's family has all the Disney classics on VHS, so I don't have any of them! However, I do want to get Alice in Wonder, Robin Hood, and both Fantasias for myself. I've seen AIN and Fantasia 2005 at used DVD stores downtown, so I might pick them up the next time I have the cash. The only thin...

Miyazaki has a point in calling the modern age of anime "the copycat generation." You rarely find anything original anymore. In my opinion the golden age of anime was the 70's to the early 90's. I beg to differ. TV anime had a big jump in animation quailty thanks to digital technology in ...

Re: Yamadas or Pom Poko, which is better?

I thought that My Neighbors the Yamadas was hilarious. Too bad that most people can't look past the character designs. Yamadas looks like that because it is based on a newspaper comic strip. I didn't mind the character designs, or even the fact that it was like a bunch of shorts. It was the subject...

I was wondering, is this movie all done in 3D with the toon shader effect on it to make you believe it's done in cell animation? The reason I ask is because I rented the new Appleseed anime the other day and the animation appears to be done all in 3D with the toon shaders added on to it (seems like...

Re: Yamadas or Pom Poko, which is better?

I need to know. Wave 3 is coming in August and I'd like to know which one is best for viewing. Which has a better story/climax and which is more entertaining? Thanks. I have not seen Pom Poko, but I have seen the Yamadas. My Neighbors the Yamadas doesn't really have a single story. It's a series of...

Regarding the news on the front page....

It says that Pom Poko is a Miyazaki film, but it is not. It was directed by Isao Takahata, Studio Ghibli's other "star" director, as was My Neighbors The Yamadas, Only Yesterday and Grave Of The Fireflies. Disney has the rights to release the first two, but I think another company still ha...
