Versus - Movies Week 3

[i_love_starburst]

The Incredibles is okay, but it isn't a patch on The Lion King, so The Lion King it is.

[AFI_Sorrow]

I went for Lion King. The Incredibles was good, better than I expected, but it's not the Lion King. I was obsessed with that movie as a child, and I pretty much know most of the lines. (Yeah, that's how many times I've made my mom pop it into the VCR as a kid.)

[Kuri]

Lion King again. Although The Incredibles was a good movie, I still love The Lion King better.

[ahoteinrun]

The Lion King wasn't a landmark in animation. It didn't do anything absolutely spectacular. The techniques used in it were modified from Beauty and the Beast, and from the Great Mouse Detective. It was a good movie, but I liked the Incredibles more.
Why?
Maybe because i'm older now. I love the Lion king, but after taking design and history courses... theres just so much hilarity in The Incredibles involed with E, and the houses... I just can't get over it. And i'll be buying it tuesday.

Not a landmark? When did you see five hundred individual scripted wildebeest running on screen at once in Beauty & The Beast?

I don't think your are giving the animators the credit they deserve. You know they all had to be indidividually painted in pre-productionm in order to keep track of them all.

The scene was one scene. Using technology that they developed from Beauty and the Beast. It was a difficult scene, YES, but I don't feel it was as landmark as other things Disney has done that revolutionized the world of animation.
And trust me, i've looked seriously into being an animator. I'm in my BFA of fine arts, i've done an animation project with my college. I do know what i'm talking about, since I have inked sheet after sheet of hand done drawing for the animation I worked on.

[Angel of Destiny]

I went with The Lion King. I haven't seen The Incredibles yet.

[ahoteinrun]

Ya know...
Maybe if you havn't seen both movies; you shouldn't VOTE.
Because it's NOT a FAIR comparison.

Just a thought.

[sirclucky]

I agree. half the votes for LK have been because people havnt seen the other movie. Doesnt really make it a fair fight

[White_Wolf]

Lion King all the way!
The Lion King has been my favourite Disney movie ever since I was very young and it first came out, and I'm still sticking by it.

[jabond102]

The Incredibles... The Lion King was good, but it didn't really NEED a sequel... The Incredibles, it needs a sequel... it was just very clever, and one of the few movies that my parents could stay awake through...

The Incredibles is making a sequel I think.

I'm not denying your ability in the slightest, only your appreciation of the effort. True, some of the technology used was applied to films before The Lion King (all of it, in fact) but this was, and always will be, Disney's crowning achievement. It is a seamless synthesis of multi-cultural themes, one part love story, another part survival epic. A morality tale told by the best people in the business. There is no animated film that combines all of the qualities that this movie displays. You know how John Lasseter must have felt when he finished Toy Story 2. At the time, it was the be all and end all of computer generated animation. There simply wasn't anything to compare with it at that moment in time. The Lion King was at that point years before it, and as far as marrying standard animation and newer forms of technology are concerned, it has never (and will never) be bettered.

Excuse me, but who are you to tell me that what I judge or how I judge something is wrong? Bambi for cripes sakes was a bloody PHENOMONAL movie for their time! The antlers they used on the great prince of the forest were too complex to animate by hand so they had to figure out a different process. Which at the time was unheard of to use (rotoscope anyone?). Not to mention the fact that Disney has made multi planes of animation longer then ANYONE else. That was a HUGE advancement in animation, and without it they couldn't have made the Lion King!
And have you seen every single animation that is yet to be made? You can't say it will never be bettered. You don't know that. You don't know whats in the future.
I've never once said that the animation wasn't good, or that I didn't appreciate it. Really only that I liked the Incredibles better, and that I don't think the Lion King was as landmark as you're making it.

[Monique]

The Lion King was is a classic, well I think that it has become one at least. The Increidbles however fits more into the animation of the time. I voted for the incredibles, but I think I'm regretting my choice. The Lion King will alwasy be better as a whole, but the incredibles was still a great movie.

[Zero!]

Ya know...
Maybe if you havn't seen both movies; you shouldn't VOTE.

Just a thought.

I guess I should've read this BEFORE I voted then...

[Kugetsu]

Lion King, hands down. o_o The Incredibles, while still a good movie, never left any impression on me other than "This movie was good". Lion King on the other hand, though much older, actually left an impression that has yet to change, an actual feeling of awe. People are saying that the LK plot was too kiddy or simple. Personally, I think that The Incredibles plot wasn't much too gawk at.

[sirclucky]

I never said the incredbles plot was good. Im just saying the LK plot wasnt that good either. King and dad dies...bad guy takes over... son runs away.... son comes back... bad guy defeated.... son becomes king.

Incredables was fun to watch even now. Sure I enjoyed the LK back when I was 7 but now I just find it unexicting and lame.
