Whatever you do, don't let your brother watch Back to the Future Part II, better know as Back to the Future And The Film With 80 Plot-Holes.The e-mail I sent to Netty wrote:On the contrary, he thought it was one of the worst animated features he has ever seen. Some of his criticisms included the messy story and complicated plot elements, which he felt were too complex for a children's film. He thought there were severe mistakes in the entire future concept of the film, in that he argued "How can you meet yourself!? It defies logic!" He also pointed out what he thought were flaws in the time-continuum element, such as the fact that one cannot revisit the past to re-alter the future. The future is in its last 'revision' all the time. I must admit he has a point, especially since (picture this) if doing something in the past can alter the future, then when Lewis leaves the past for the future, he is temporarily inexistent in the past, meaning that his future self (i.e. grown-up dad) should have evaporated while present-day Lewis was in the future - hence my brother was right when he said that you cannot possibly meet yourself! To further explain - how the hell could Franny have met Lewis and married him if he was never there!? Nevertheless, I feel going into such detail is quibbling, even if this is a seriously noticeable error.
Well, being respectful to different opinions, has your brother SEEN "The Incredibles"?Finally, we touched on the animation. I've always thought that MTR is a prime example of some show-stopping animation. I was flabbergasted when my brother said hat he was less than impressed with it. He thought the animation was very weak compared to stuff like The Incredibles or Over the Hedge. He commented on the incorrect useage of colours and texturing.
Personally, I really find the designs, particullary Bob Parr/Mr. Incredibles' far more uglier.I mean just look at him, the first half of his body is very muscular and huge, and then the bottom half his legs are totally skinny . There's really NO way such tiny legs can support him, making him just an unbelieveable character that the physics in that character are 100% nonexistant.
I know the whole point of animation is to do stuff you can't make in live-action, but The Incredibles is really between the point of animation that's stylished in a nice way to being so unbelieveable, that you watch the entire film in total disgust. Meet the Robinsons has animation that's so stylished, it looks like the animators had far more fun making that film, yet still look visually plausable. The Incredibles really look like stick figures in comparison. Of course, this is just my opinion. Thankfully your brother doesn't come to this site.
At least the upcoming Ratatouille looks to be a huge improvement with the human designs. I actually think it looks to be one of Pixar's most pleasing animation-wise to date.
no hope of reaching 100.
