    Still waiting for my chance to fulfill my fetish of hooking up with a girl whose wearing a 1/20th scale Voltron costume. ComicCon, let's make it happen!

    As an animator, I can't help but look at that third still and cringe. The shadows are so flat, and 9's back leg gradates to black without darkening the doll he's sitting on. It fails to tie him down to the spot. And composition-wise you lose him on the doll's chest surface. Overall, this in not a shot I would show off. They should have only released the first one from that scene.


    Unless these are screen grabs, in which case - bad io9! Not every frame is representative of the whole!

    @Grand_Marquis: I think all of the frames here are from the original Shane Acker short film. In which case its a student film made for less than no budget and complaining about the animation is a bit gauche.


    But if its from the updated full budgeted version, then yeah, you got a point, its not the best composition you'll ever see. But its cool.

    To tell you the truth I think its being ruined with dialog.


    Go back and look at the short film that it came from and you will see what I mean.

    @dOk:


    Why can't this movie and the short film stand separately and strongly? The short isn't being "ruined" by dialogue, this is a totally separate movie.

    @Pessimippopotamus will steal you a ★ for 50 coins:

    Yes, but it's still a very different medium. Let us not forget that the short did receive quite a bit of acclaim (no where near the amount a full length feature will get, but a lot for a short). The short existed well before this version, if people wanted to enjoy that in it's original form, they more than enough time to do so. As far as I can see, criticizing this film for having voice acting is silly. We've barely seen anything yet and people are already willing to put it out to pasture.


    I say, go in with an open mind, you'll probably enjoy it. This movie looks great and it's not very often that we get a full-length, big (somewhat) budget, animated film that is willing to take risks.

    I really wonder how this film is going to be marketed. It's obviously not a kids film, so what then?

    @Evlsushi:


    Where to begin? First he walks out with this shit eating grin and a "I'm so cool! I even say 'fuck'" personna. I mean he literally went out of his way to say "kick your balls up your ass." It was sad. What was even worse was him asking the audience if they wanted to see one of the actress' from T:S's boobs in the movie. He made her stand up and do a twirl!


    Ugh.

    I like the animation style. I'm not really a huge poop and fart joke fan though. Is this aimed at adults? The trailer makes it look very much like a kids show, but the 9pm run time makes me think adults.
