Toy Story, Fish Story, Bug Story, Monster Story, Superhero Story, Automobile Story... Just compare the non-diversity of Pixar's 9 films thus far with Disney's first 9 films or Ghibli's first 9 films. <BR/><BR/>So you have Pixar, which can't think outside of their commercially-viable formula, and then you heap on top of that how every other studio wants to switch to CGI and try to replicate that same formula. Thus CGI animation is reduced to a <I>genre</I> rather than a <I>medium</I>, and it's all stupid animals or things that are hip, pop-culture referenced and funny because they're just like us.Cory Grosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12141983255020503557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24969765.post-7410318312727572342008-07-06T18:52:00.000-05:002008-07-06T18:52:00.000-05:00Thanks for all the cool links.I found that when I ...Thanks for all the cool links.<BR/><BR/>I found that when I went to: http://www.ghibli.jp/ponyo/ if you click on the second button down on the flash movie menu on left there are bigger images to look at then the press section.<BR/><BR/>The button BTW has a tiny square a flashing images on it.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01789094236183502398noreply@blogger.com
