secondlinaSONG AS OLD AS RIME
BEAAAUUTY AND DAH BEEEAST
Guess what I saw on Monday night?
It was fun to see Beauty and the Beast on the big screen again. Normally, I would do a movie review, but since this movie is old and we already all know it's one of my favorite Disneys (1- Lilo and stich, 2 - beauty and the beast, 3 - Tangled), I'm going to focus the review on the 3D aspect of the viewing.
The 3D wasn't bad, though the annoying glasses-over glasses problem is still around (and i'd like to point out that the glasses were too big for two of the girls I went to see the movie with...). The 3D allowed us to really see the quality of the backgrounds. Those backgrounds are fantastic. Seems they added details and designs all over (the Beast's chair suddenly had flower designs... that wasn't there before? Was it?). Unfortunately, the 3D also kinda made the mistakes in the animation more obvious. I'm not talking about the main character's animation. But some of those background characters really don't look so good. It also makes the CGI look a bit dated, but what the heck. we already knew that. So generally, it was a fun experience, especially with the group of friends I was with. It was a great movie to see again, and the Tangled short was hilarious (But tiny. Only five minutes long or something). We were amused by how both Belle and the Beast like to be slightly over the top. Dramatically throwing themselves on bed and posing. But the magic of Disney is still there. And the 3D didn't kill it.
In other news, the wonderful Kendraw was kind enough to do a commission for me of my light-eating (spark-gobbling) character.
Aka these guys :
I asked her because I looooove the toon look. Honestly, if I wasn't so influenced by 19e century illustration and Disney, I would be drawing toons (but artists tend to like more what they don't do, so it's normal). This is awesome and the colours are awesome. I need to do something with these guys one day.
