Animated Movie Ideas
July 3rd, 2009
As any fule kno, Pixar and Dreamworks movies are hopelessly crap. Wall-E was kind of cool until halfway through, when it seemed they lost patience and had to go all stupid on us. On the other hand, Shrek has some kind of trailer-park I-am-going-to-make-this-film-despite-your-stupid-brains ambivalence which is both annoying and impressive.
Anyway, here are some ideas for future 3D animated movies that are less sucky:
- A black and white 3D animation set in the 1940s that is about animators working for Disney
- Mixing rendered 3D and live action to tell the story of a descent into schizophrenia
- A prison movie musical where the prisoners are cellphones and the jailers are barbecue tongs and miniature helicopters
- A story told in which everything is transparent such that the story is told as a series of layers through which a deeper narrative is told
- Godel:Escher:Bach as a story featuring Achilles, the tortoise, the crab, etc.
- A teen romance told from the viewpoint of imaginary crews of star trek-style bridge officers inside the protagonists heads
- A story depicting the history and war (and reconciliation) between two island civilisations that has four different endings, one of the four shown randomly at each screening.
- A story about the discovery of ancient dinosaur landing sites found on the moon and an attempt to cover up the discovery
- The story of Jesus told from a positivist rational anti-superstitious perspective
- Biker movie in which the bikers are skeletons and the cops are robots, set in the middle of the Vietnam war, in ancient Egypt
- Something in which mosquitoes are heroes
- Story of a bunch of spunky kittens who escape a research laboratory and open a coffee shop where they form an R&B band that solves crimes using martial arts. Also the coffee shop is a bookstore and they have superpowers
