Old but gold (Best movie ever?)

Old but gold (Best movie ever?) · 05-24-2008, 05:15 PM

WARNING: CONTAINS SPOILERS!

First off: Yes, i know it's old and there's been a couple other reviews on it, but i don't care. It's and old but gold movie for sure.

The animation is absolutley astounding! After a little research and a lot of spare time, i found that Thomas used over 700 props and NO actors. Is it the first movie with no actors? I don't know, for sure. The fact that the characters are all props is just the icing on the cake...

The storyline and jokes are completley perfect. The best bits including the milk-cutting, the blacksmith, Jimmy's ironing, the Rabbit-tortoise, the 'Ooh, how dead?' part, the Knighting of Sir Bugger, the Casino Slot Machines, The Dark-Ages guy on stage and the Creepy Banjo-guy. The story of the Run-away Knight Flod, The depressed cook and the stange midget are all tied together in "Ta-Da!" Fashion.

The Casino scene is hilarity itself. The Stage quote about the sun running out of gas was a brilliant joke. But the best and most pant-pissing quote was:

Quote:

"Oi've looked all around the world for the treasure!" *looks at treasure chest beside bush* "Except over there."

The ending is also completley unexpected, Sir Bugger's confessing that he thought Flod had it was outstandingly funny.

Altogether, i found absolutley NOTHING wrong with the movie, no parts that were meant to be funny but wern't, and the animation couldn't possibly be beaten. There is a big question about this film: Is this the best 3DMM movie ever?

It's yours to decide.

Um... Yeah... Ever hear about Vlarion? 5DMM? Diabolical Delightment??

Breed · 05-30-2008, 06:23 AM

if youre gonna argue Video Game Guy then at least do it like a MANNNNN

I freaking love this movie. Wouldn't call it the best movie ever, but I'd rank it in my top 5 I think, I love the style and the humor. Its just great.

And don't be afraid to review old movies Rossy, its encouraged!

Fredrick · 05-30-2008, 06:33 PM

Probably not the best ever made, but a brilliant movie for sure. It's just got that heartwarming, innocent humor that's rare to come across these days.

Ross Marlow · 07-03-2008, 10:13 AM

Definetley the best animation though. At least agree with that.

Bown · 07-03-2008, 11:26 AM

There are plenty of films with better animation. Anything ever made by Goro, Haynes and Pikios, for starters.

Slade · 07-03-2008, 11:53 AM

Yeah, the animation is... admirable, but certainly not the best.

Aaron Haynes · 07-07-2008, 10:15 PM

It has the best comedic personality, I think. Its character's reactions are as emotive and perfect as anything done in this program. The actual animation is pretty rough.

(Rough, but elemental -- nothing important is missing).

LISTEN TO THE MAN

Ross Marlow · 04-03-2009, 10:15 PM

B-B-But he animated using only shapes.....

That's somethings nobody has ever done. At least not in a big movie that's.... really funny.... and cool.... but whatever....

Video Game Guy · 04-03-2009, 10:52 PM

Yeah. Just because he used shapes doesn't make it the best movie ever. In fact, there is another movie, Bodily Functions that used 2 actors. Everything else is props, which has better animation. But, this movie has a good plot, good setting,good acting, great comedy and great directing.

Also, good bump.

even though you bumping the thread made it come back to the top of the first page, GOD ONLY KNOWS how he found your new post within the hour

Kionokun · 04-10-2009, 11:30 PM

wow this is great!

Phil Williamson · 04-10-2009, 11:36 PM

if you're referring to the movie, you should probably comment in its thread, not the thread for this review. if you're referring to the review, you're ross marlow.

Slade · 04-10-2009, 11:55 PM

That's definitely Ross Marlow. Just look at that silly furry-type thing in his profile picture.

Phil Williamson · 04-11-2009, 12:08 AM

I don't think so. Doesn't seem to be acting much like Marlow at all.
