Bento Ramone checks out an early screening of ENCHANTED! A new Stop Motion Disney Film coming for Tim Burton or Henry Selick?

HA! by SherlockMonk	Sep 29th, 2007 02:37:50 PM
Enchanted looks mildly entertaining.
Henry Selick? by TodayzSpecial	Sep 29th, 2007 02:45:46 PM
Could just as easily be Henry Selick. He's due to finish Coraline in the next year over at Laika. Disney should be the forerunner in ALL medium of animation, and it should OWN 2d animation. Sounds like they're gettin' it back together.
Henry Selick? by erikharrison	Sep 29th, 2007 02:49:27 PM
While I wouldn't be surprised if the hinting meant Tim Burton, in the form described in the review it could just as easily be Henry Selick. Selick directed Nightmare Before Christmas (which isn't in this decade), James and the Giant Peach, and coming out next Coraline, all of which are stop motion. Plus he directed Monkey Bone (heavy use of stop motion) and did the stop motion sequences in The Life Aquatic. And both Burton and Selick worked with Elfman.
I bet Burton is miserable. by Mike_D	Sep 29th, 2007 02:49:49 PM
Hes being type-directed in all the same projects!
I say Henry Selick, too! by DerLanghaarige	Sep 29th, 2007 02:54:55 PM

henry selick was my guess too by waggy	Sep 29th, 2007 02:58:44 PM
can't wait for coraline.

A Japanese chef pulls something out of a freezer (looks like a pizza), and when you flip it over, here's the translation of it (thanks to Hinoai from the Unfiction message boards): Everybody, thank you for viewing! I'll introduce this week's delicious recipe. Please make sure to keep this one cold! * Skinless chicken breast - 2, cut in halves * Sōmen noodles - 10 oz. * Watercress - 1/2 cup cut into small strips * Turnip - 1/2 cup, thinly sliced * Shiitake Mushrooms - 1/2 cup * Chicken stock - 1/3 cup * Sake - 2 tbsp. * Sugar - 1/2 tsp. * Deep-sea crab - one In a small saucepan, stir together 1/3 cup water, chicken stock, sake, and sugar. Chill it until it becomes cold. Grill the chicken breast on both sides for about 8 minutes, and then chill. Boil the noodles for about 3 minutes, and then run under cold water until chilled. Mix the watercress, turnips, and mushrooms into the sōmen. Slice the chicken thinly and arrange on top of the sōmen mix. Just before you serve, put the crab in the sauce and pour over the noodles generously. Go Go Delicious Chef!
It's probably the Wallace by aron	Sep 29th, 2007 03:24:37 PM
It's probably the Wallace and Gromit guy.
It's Nick Park. by TheNorthlander	Sep 29th, 2007 03:42:43 PM
Either that or Burton. Selick may have directed Nightmare before christmas, but he was not the "creative mastermind" behind it, that would be Burton. Still, Park is the guy to go to when dealing with Stop Motion. The majority of people working at Corpse Bride at 3 Mills studios in London were Aardman people as far as I know.
or tom selleck by ironic_name	Sep 29th, 2007 03:51:28 PM
first to say first.
I was gonna say by myspoonistoobig	Sep 29th, 2007 03:57:42 PM
Have we not heard of Aardman? I know Hot Topic doesn't sell any Wallace and Gromit T-shirts but come on.
I've heard that the Burton project is Grim Fandango by beastie	Sep 29th, 2007 04:30:36 PM
The rumor has been around for about 2 years that Burton, Selick, Disney and Pixar are all interested in adapting Grim Fandango, together. If this is true, I have mixed feelings about it. On one hand, I love all of the parties involved and I think that Grim Fandango may be the greatest video game ever made. On the other hand, I would prefer if the game's director, Tim Schafer, ended up directing the feature length adaptation.
Gotta be Nick Park by Archive	Sep 29th, 2007 04:33:21 PM
Tim Burton has only done Corpse Bride in the last decade, right? James and the Giant Peach was 96, and Nightmare Before Christmas was 93. Of course, it would be neat to see what either of them would do in the new Disney climate emerging in the wake of the Pixar purchase.
I think, since Dreamworks dropped Aardman, Warners got by beastie	Sep 29th, 2007 04:42:10 PM
them. So, I doubt Nick Park. Though, I would love to see Aardman work with Disney. See, I'm a little bit of a Disney animation geek and I want all good animation to, in some way, shape or form, be associated with Disney.
beastie, you need to discover Japan. by TheNorthlander	Sep 29th, 2007 04:55:57 PM
Miyazaki is doing way better stuff than Disney nowadays.
Who are the ad wizards... by wampa 1	Sep 29th, 2007 06:25:40 PM
...that came up with this one?
TheNorthlander... by beastie	Sep 29th, 2007 06:40:44 PM
...when I said, that I like Disney to be invloved with all good animation, I also meant, distribution. Miramax (Disney) distributes Miyazaki, and that is awesome, to me. It means that they are, in some way involved in his movies. At least, in America.
...also... I should stop responding after a bottle by beastie	Sep 29th, 2007 06:45:42 PM
of vodka. Sometimes my sentences don't make sense.
People who both work in animation or fans by emeraldboy	Sep 29th, 2007 06:48:57 PM
dont like the stuff that has been produced from the Miyazaki stable of late and they have said that it is not as good as the early work. That is what i hear.
Alice in Wonderland by powerfuldog	Sep 29th, 2007 06:59:03 PM
I've heard that Burton has always wanted to his take on Alice in Wonderland. Maybe this is it?
Will someone tell me exactly how... by Mystery Roach	Sep 29th, 2007 07:15:39 PM
one movie constitutes "the majority of stop-motion pictures in the last decade"? This isn't Burton people.
where's THE FABULOUS FURRY FREAK BROS. ? by future help	Sep 29th, 2007 07:34:56 PM
whatever happened with that...is that not Nick Park? also, Burton better leave Alice and Wonderland alone...cause he sure fucked up both Planet of the Apes and Willy Wonka.
Jan Svankmajer?? by Piltdown Joey	Sep 29th, 2007 07:55:44 PM
Disney's had a history of working with surrealists...the Dali collaboration, all of Fantasia, for Pete's sake, is surreal, so, who knows?
Re: Burton's Alice by TheNorthlander	Sep 29th, 2007 11:09:27 PM
Like, who needs that anyway? Henry Selick is making Coraline into a stop motion movie. Burton's Alice can't touch that.
Svankmajer's already made his own Alice by half vader	Sep 30th, 2007 01:27:46 AM
Freaky and oh so slavic! And Emeralboy I definitely wouldn't day they "don't like the stuff" more a matter of it still being great, just not super genius. Besides, generally that sentiment is only applied to his very last film, 'cause people pretty unaminously loved Spririted Away, which is generally thought of up there with Totoro. Are you talking Earthsea/Non Hayao Miyazaki stuff too? "That is what I hear" eh? - so you haven't watched them yourself? Do yourself a favour mate!
Oh and nice Americacentric thinking, Dean Smartypants by half vader	Sep 30th, 2007 01:41:18 AM
Obviously trying to show off. And Obviously Harry thinks that way as well. As does Dick Cook too probably. How can you not think of Nick Park? The guy's won 4 Academy awards from 5 noms, and only lost that 5th one because one of his OTHER films won it! Dreamworks are complete morons. Just because Wererabbit didn't do Shrek-level money (as that's their yardstick of a good film) they show Aardman the door? It still made more than some of their other shite and the one thing W&G have shown is that it'll sell and rent it's tits off for years to come on DVD/home video/whatever they call it. So myopic and typical suit thinking. How super cool would it be if John Lasseter staged another Brad Bird level coup and did actually get Park. That's my guess. Well, more of a wish really. Oh and Burton's gotta make Alice one day, it's inevitable. It's got stripes in it!
"a metaphor for this bridge of generations" by Holodigm	Sep 30th, 2007 10:09:33 AM
i fuckin hate film students. what's worse is i am one, although at least i don't go around making up bullshit like that. and first year, no less, he's already gone down the path of the asshat.
Great one - "the path of the asshat" by half vader	Sep 30th, 2007 12:11:49 PM
forever will it dominate your destiny!
dont forget cabin boy by LarryTheCableGuy	Sep 30th, 2007 12:13:45 PM
dont forget that movie. it rocks. it had selick stop animation, produced by tim burton and had alfred molina.
This kid Bennet Mitchell is an asshat by Oasis101	Sep 30th, 2007 01:46:05 PM
I bet nobody is ever going to show a movie at his school again. Wouldnt be surprisedif he gets squashed by the house of mouse for leaking secrets.
I like the term "asshat" by Turkey	Sep 30th, 2007 11:15:34 PM
That should be used more often.
arseclown is cooler. by ironic_name	Oct 1st, 2007 12:57:34 PM
it is.
9 by haferstroh	Oct 2nd, 2007 01:26:29 AM
