Martin, critical skills and analysis are important. But what first sets it off is instinct. Something just doesn't "seem right" about a film. I've always felt that a critic senses this first, then tries to analyze what causes this feeling.

This happened to me when I went to see the theatrical film Star Wars: The Clone Wars, the pilot for Cartoon Network's CGI series. Like so many who loved Lucasfilm projects, I went in with high hopes and came out disappointed. The focal point for me was the beards on the character; in a time when even basic CGI allows some movement of hair, why did the male characters have beards that seemed to be carved out of wood?

After churning it around in my Sunbeam Mixmaster brain, I realized why; these weren't full animated characters, they were toys. They weren't representatives of characters, philosophy, a story, a meaning. They were toys being used to sell toys. Lucasfilm and Lucas himself had been presumed to have something more than just commercialism, and that presumption turned out to be wishful thinking.

That intuition operates on the subconscious level. But that only makes it an opinion. It only becomes a valid critique when you reinforce it with your knowledge of the animation arts. Which is, of course, what you said in this wonderful article.

Well, of course he does. He made Samurai Jack!

With these notes, Dick Williams' book & dvds, Eric Goldberg's book and blogs such as yours & John K's there really is no need for kids to pay cloelge fees & study in art-school anymore!I've had around 80 pages of Stanchfield's as xeroxes for years & it has always proved invaluable; I can't wait to read 800 pages!

Good article Mark. Great point on the monsters. I'm gonna go get my freak on now...

Congrats Gerhard, on a second season!

Jeffrey - Fascinating story, amazing to read of your family inventions. Thank you for sharing.

Very cool. This brings animation to an new level of art used for social movement. Best of luck!

That's awesome

Half your luck, Scott. I had hoped to make it, especially as it's in my old Lilyfield stnmipag ground, but I'm just back from another day of client meetings in Sydney and I need a weekend at home in Corrimal.I'm getting more and more comfortable with WP, even when a site has no blog component at all, like . I'll look forward to reading your comments about in due course.

I think The Tom and Jerry Show will be a great new show for Cartoon Network

At first I was really annoyed that you would say such things about Robin Hood, but the more I read, the more I realized I probably haven't seen this movie in ten years. Now, I'll have to go back and watch it again to see if all this is true.

But, I would like to propose The Black Cauldron as a contender for the worst Disney animation movie. I had a hard time believing it was made by Walt Disney after I watched it. It is poorly animated and very forgettable.

this makes Halo 3 s campaign seem so much more ineentstirg than when you actually play it, because no offense to bungie, but the captivatingness of halo never reached that peak that halo 1 had. heres my list of halo games from most ineentstirg to leastHalo Combat EvolvedHalo 3Halo 3 ODSTHalo WarsHalo 2so what I would really like to see is a remake of halo 1 with the graphics of Halo reach, and the ability to dual wield, have a hud like Halo 3 s, and not take damage from falls.

We'll have to hold tight, I've heard rumors that it'll be released sometime late November, with more footage than the screening at the West LA Landmark Theater.

Are you talking about the dolnowad-able games? If so, everything should be fine. The next generation of consoles will use the same market (PSN/XBL) as today, probably just an upgraded version. So your stuff will be saved. Too early to be thinking ahead, next consoles should be out by late 2013.

3D comics are very interesting. Every one like it. I am also like it very much and read. I still see the series in a local channel, so funny!!!
