american executives

green niggers, they ruin everything

Little Nemo is an American creation.
>>84565589
Then why does it look like it was made by Studio Ghibli?
>>84565622
I don't know, pretty sure the character designs for this movie were by Moebius.
>>84565054
>What went wrong, /co/?
The terrible musical numbers and the talking animal sidekick. All of which were added by the American writers/producers to make it "more Disney". All of it made the movie worse.
The actual animation quality is gorgeous. The movie-itself is fuckin trash. It's a beautiful turd.
>>84565622
That doesn't look like Ghibli at all.
At all.
>>84565622
In part it probably was. It's hard to name someone in animation at the time who didn't work on it in at least some small part.
>>84565622
>Then why does it look like it was made by Studio Ghibli?
Miyazaki and Ghibli were originally the ones co-developing it with the American producers. When they finally got fed up and washed their hands of the film, production was moved to Tokyo Movie Shinsha.
Ghibli did an animation test, but that's all they actually produced animation-wise. TMS just used the same design work.

Nothing, it's a pretty good movie, imo. Maybe not perfect, and I can see why some people wouldn't like it especially if they won't give it the "it's dream logic" pass on things that don't make perfect sense, but I still like always liked it.
If I could change one thing about it, off the top of my head, I'd have Icarus come off as a bit less intelligent in Nemo's wakeful scenes. He technically can't talk, but in every other way he's pretty much anthropomorphic, and having him be a bit more like a regular squirrel in the real world would help ground those scenes in reality and provide contrast to the dream. Or just have him only exist in a dream because who has a flying squirrel for a pet? I realize this is a nitpicky kind of thing to take issue with, though.
>>84565054
executive meddling.
>>84565781
I am not to fond of the Miyazaki artwork desu but that animation was surely god tier. They would had done an awesome job.
>>84566037
No doubt. And in terms of just the animation quality, TMS did a good job, too. The animation was never the problem with Nemo.
It was the script, the songs, the sidekick characters, the deviations from Winsor McCay's comics, etc.
>>84565781
>Old-fashioned Ghibli with a western budget
Holy shit, it's great.
>>84565054
So many top tier artists, it bombed
Can America/Japan/Europe do a international animation film witouth fail?
>>84568207
It can, but leave the writing and animation to the Japanese, and have the Europeans and Americans help fund and market the film.
>>84568698
so you wanna America/Europe to give money to Japan to do anime?
The NES game
>>84565054
I don't know, I love it.
>>84565054
Absolutely nothing.
Literally Hayao Miyazaki's best movie
>>84565054
Why isn't anyone talking about the movie "Empire of Corpses"?
>>84569399
The NES game was the only thing people remember from the whole debacle. Nobody remembers it was supposed to be a movie tie-in, and hardly anybody even knew there was an arcade game based on it either.
>>84569951
because this is /tv/ i mean /co/
>>84569105
Yes.
>>84565054
A long history of mismanagement in the hands of both the East and the West which eventually came down to what would be an ultimately underwhelming experience. As others said, the animation was neat though.
>>84565622
I thought it looked a lot more like a Sanrio film, when Sanrio actually had an animation studio.
>>84570434
What would be the difference?
Japan does not have financial problems to produce anime, they just have writing/design problems to create something unique and not heterogeneous (with some exceptions).
>>84565622
Studio Ghibli worked on it for a while, but disagreement eventually led them to leave the project.
>remembering tom petty had a nemo inspired video

>>84570591
Japan needs more money to help funds tons of anime projects.
>>84570631
Ghibli didn't exist around the time this film was in production. The closest to this statement there is would be that both Miyazaki and Takahata were involved as directors at one point, but backed off eventually; Hayao's reason being that he didn't like the fact that the conflict wasn't happening in real time or something of those words.
Yoshifumi Kondo did direct a pilot for the film in 1984 though, which actually looks about as "Ghibliesque" as the film got.

It didn't live up to the comics.
>>84572073
the comics are shit
>>84572073
it was very childish, i guess the played "the safe card"
What went right?
>>84572160
The movie was even shittier; it's only saving grace being the animation.
>>84572277
the music was good
>>84572296
Eh, I can concede to that in some parts.
