Okay, well, first I say that yes, in a way everyone is a little bit right. But if everyone's right, nothing is wrong, and there is something wrong with the animation. If we don't speak up when we have poor quality we won't get better quality. I want my Disney characters to look way better than this. If the shrot stories of Enchanted Tales didn't look this bad, then why can't Disney get it right for their last direct-video sequel of a beloved classic?
Chernabog_Rocks (HAHA the Fairuza Balk was great!),
Jens, thank you for agreeing with me. I don't know what Jens does but I know that she knows a lot about animation and may have worked in it. But another person I know who has worked in animation and he said similar things and thinks it's horrible. Me, I draw. So it's seems lots of animation fans are noticing how bad this is, which is why I'm surprised
Aladdin from Agrabah doesn't see what we see.
Question for
Jens: So, Disney Toon Studios which is no more could have told the outsource what to do? An animator told me the animation may be in Japan. Do you think it's in Japan, and because Japan usually does very still, detailed poses, maybe they're horrible at Disney's less-detailed but better, smoother moving animation, and that's why everything looks so blobby and is stretching all over the place?
But a lot of you are also saying you just want to see the charcaters and what happens to them. Fine, then I guess they pleased you, but maybe you want something more akin to the mermaid you originally fell in love with? Maybe you want to get better quality because you deserve it?
SuperAurora, the animation does matter, maybe even more, to me, because I love Disney for their animaion and designs. The Little Mermaid's a tale that can be told by any other studio. Disney's wonderful animation and designs seperate it from any other version. The story does also need to be good, as well, and...nothing good enough for me so far.
Aladdin from Agrabah, I'm shocked too, because like I said you draw, so I can't see why you don't see what I see. You know you could do much, much better than what these professional animators did. As for our screencap war, the reason I don't think it's opinion is because you did not do the same as I did. I found poses that match the poses of all the other screencaps. In every one Ariel is holding on to something she's behind with just her head popped up and looking in the same direction with a similar, smiling expression with her mouth open. For yours, well, they didn't have similarities like that at all. Do you see that?
I do admit I have not been as nice as I once was. I realized if you're nice and think everything's exceptable, nothing gets changed. I want this to be changed for the better. What really set me of was everyone saying how wonderful this looked. If Ariel doesn't look horrible in everything, she still didn't look wonderful or amazing or even good. She looks okay. And I had to counter everyone's enthusiasm with an equally strong tone.
Aladdin from Agrabah wrote:p.s. The only one who's deluded is someone I know who thinks that Cinderella in "A Twist in Time" was on-model. Well she was beautiful, but she resembled a Barbie doll, not Disney's Cinderella.
Every animation fan notices the backgrounds look exactly like the ones from the original, and I think out of all the characters Cinderella is the most on-model by far, probably because they knew she had to be as the focus was on her. But Cinderella still looks more like herself than Ariel. Cinderella looks more like Barbie than Ariel no matter how she's done. Same with Aurora. But the only thing I can think of that makes her look more like Barbie is soemw eird thing with her eyes. But when the animation is so good they can draw scenes exactly like how the ones in the first film were (the flashbacks when Cinderella starts singing), that's on-model and that's top quality and there's no delusion there.
If you want to provide evidence for what you said and we have a little war, I actually wouldn't mind, but what it comes down to is sure, Cinderella doesn't look good all the time, but Ariel's badness is worse.
Oh yea, and you are one of my favorite UDers, too, no matter what. You'll always be awesome. Now why don't you get a plane ticket to wherever the animation studio that's making this is and fix everything?
Unfortunately I wonder if this is the best the animation studio can do. Not the best Disney can do, but the best of the animation studio that would do it for them. Unless they just chose the cheapest one, in which case it is Disney's fault.
Oh yea and
