Avatar, The Animated Film That Wasn’t
January 11th, 2010 admin
I was thinking today, If Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel has enough animation in it to be eligible for Best Animated Oscar, and A Christmas Carol is considered animation, then Avatar most definitely qualifies as an animated film too. The only reason Avatar isn’t on the list of animation Oscar contenders is because the studio didn’t want it to languish in the “animation ghetto.” That doesn’t change the fact, however, that it’s an animated film and should be acknowledged as such. This spurred me to do some research on the subject, and I discovered I’m not the only one who’s been thinking about this. Brad Brevet did an excellent in-depth report on the subject…

Bone...EDIT 5/11/10- This video is featured on Cartoon Brew! www.cartoonbrew.com The finished version of the previous video: www.youtube.com ! I may add shading to the characters to make them more believable when I have the time, but for now, it can be posted. And BOY did this take long! I did this without any tweening anyway- yes, the animation is produced in Flash. BGs are painted in Photoshop. As you may have heard, Warner Bros. has hired AnimalLogic to animate his story BONE in CG- this video shows my take on how it would look if it were going to be produced in 2D. Sound is taken from the soundtrack of TellTale Games' video game of the series. Reflecting on this, even though the movie will be in CG, I REALLY think they should have a little 2D in it! Like, maybe in the opening and/or closing credits... or maybe in a short sequence in the body of the film!! It worked marvelously for Kung Fu Panda, and Cloudy... and I see a growing emergence of traditionally-animated credit sequences nowadays!!! Someone should suggest this to him! Here's to you, Jeff. BONE was the first graphic novel I ever read, and the first I religiously followed. I hope the movie is the best it can be! BONE (C) Jeff Smith Sound (C) TellTale Games

Nobody’s come forward to claim responsibility for this elaborate animated review of Avatar .

News media stories about the Oscars are cropping up all over and all of them are saying the same thing: Up is only the second time since the inception of the award that the Academy has nominated animated films for Best Picture. (The first time was Beauty and the Beast in 1991.) What they should be writing is that today is a milestone day because...
Avatar is not a show that is trying to pull off any ambiguous plot twists or subplots in its swan song. It remains appreciatively straightforward in both execution and story.
