pretty much all the closeups of the animals when they're talking were animated.

or did you think they taught dogs and pigs to talk?

painted on mouth movements don't make it an animated movie

jwalk

except for the parts that are animated.

Lord Dave

I can't pick a best Pixar movie. They're all so different.
Monsters Inc is my favorite.

I don't think it's been said in this thread yet, but Wall-E is going to be almost completely without dialog, from what I've read.

Oh God yes!

I was getting that impression from the trailer but then when he says "Waaaalll-EEEE" at the end I was afraid. I'd LOVE to see a full-length pixar movie about a robot with minimum dialog. I think it would be pretty cool.

Stanton pitched the story to Ben Burtt who signed on to do the sound design. There is little traditional dialogue in the film; Stanton joked, "I’m basically making R2-D2: The Movie", in reference to Burtt's work on Star Wars. To create dialogue, Burtt took various mechanical sounds, and combined them to resemble dialogue. For a character named AUTO, Burtt used old Maritime military sounds to express the character's emotions.

Anyone who didn't at least get a little misty-eyed at the end of Monsters Inc. when

Boo goes "Kitty!"

is clearly incapable of experiencing human emotions.

EDIT: Maybe that's a little spoilerish, I guess. Tagged it as such, just in case.

I haven't cried at a movie since Old Yeller.

Okay so funny thing happened. I just googled Studio Ghibli and was looking at the vocal cast for Tales of Earthsea and I noticed this man, Matthew Levin. The first thing I thought when I saw his portrait on the Ghibli site was "Wow, he looks like a character from Mass Effect (blame the buzzed hair, he looks like my Shepard). I IMDB him to see what else he's in and right there, under number 2 on the list:

IMDB - Matthew Levin wrote:

2. Mass Effect (2007) (VG) (voice) (as Matthew Levin) .... Additional Roles

Just sharing.

jwalk

Titanic and every other movie with CGI special effects in it (which is nearly all of them nowdays) is hardly comparable to Babe, which has a fair amount of animation in pretty much every single scene...

besides, animated does not mean "cartoon"

let's just call it "mixed" and leave it at that ok?

this is a dumb argument.

Lord Dave

putting Babe in the same category as Iron Giant and Ratatouille just makes you seem a little retarded
I'm just saying, you might want to be aware of that

I can not stop myself from getting choked up at that, no matter how hard I try to think about violence and boobies and Hilary Clinton and goatse

Babe is not an animated movie. At all.

It is a live-action movie that also has CG effects.

Lord of the Rings has more CG than Babe, including a fully CG character in Gollum, but you'd never call it an animated movie, would you?

He might, he's retarded.

TankHammer

Then again, Babe did rely on CG for nearly every character.

I mean, he's almost onto something there. He could just be 'bergin really hard y'know. Not straight-up retarded.

Callius

Yeah, he is pretty retarded I guess.

Also, on CNN's 101 dumbest things of the year China is number one.

jwalk

yeah I might be retarded, I mean the film uses animatronic puppets and animated lipsync for nearly all the main characters in almost every single scene....

then again, being extremely fucking pedantic about the casual use of one little word on the intertweb could make you look like a huge fucking nerd ... so I guess it would even out then eh?

Oh no, semantics on the internet!

Oh no!

Lord Dave

it's a good thing you agree with yourself, jwalk, otherwise there might be some tension at home

Makes sense. Frogs do live in depressing, filthy swamps.

Sheri

Thank you, thank you.

No, that is also wrong. Mixed would be like Mary Poppins or Who Framed Roger Rabbit? or Cool World.

It will deal with a frog. Possibly one that talks in hilarious tones of voice.

Then he tries to shore up the levees through sheer force of love

Later he gets eaten by hungry survivors in the Superdome.

The end.

Well my Wall-E thread was seven hours too slow but I am still going to link this:

So I want to weigh in here because I love pixar.

Best is Monster's Inc.

The least desirable of all the fantastic movies is Cars

Also did anyone else like Toy Story 2 more than the original?

Goatmon

Both Toy Stories were really good, it's hard to say which is better overall. The first one was pretty amazing, but the sequel was pretty good in it's own right.

My favorite is easily Finding Nemo.

monkeyfeet63

Also that scene in Babe where the farmer sings to the pig is one of the best scenes in a movie ever.

Bob The Monkey

I really enjoyed Cars and thought A Bug's Life was not so goodhey if you're going to throw rocks at me please avoid pointy ones

Hey guys if there's ever an emergency where I have to cry for some reason, you need to get me in front of a TV and play this scene.

It is like ipecac for tears. They are inevitable.

That part is why I liked Toy Story 2 more I think

Seriously you guys

Buy n Large

political commentary topped with a glorious pun

Lord Dave

Toy Story 1 and 2 both made me feel really guilty

I'm sorry Panda! I'm sorry you have to live in the closet now!
