Wakko's Wish on Teletoon Retro, 12.9.2011 REPOST.
|
|
|
Please Ignore the First Posting of this as that one was faulty, here is the real post of this!
Well, One Night, I Managed to Catch The Rest Of Wakko's Wish on Teletoon Retro (After watching in-between of Pingu and bits of Arthur) As I Remember from That Night (I Have no Intention of Watching again and Staying away from it),It Was Seemingly Pitiful and Really, REALLY Painful on the Eyes, The Character Drawing Designs Were Lumpy, Extremely Hideous, and Really Uncomfortable, and Making the whole matter even worse was The Terribly Amateurish animation. I Swear to Goodness, I Don't Get It, Japanese Animation (''Anime'' which is actually french for animation and Here Im Talking About Mainly Studio Overseas Animation) is Increasenly and Grossly Overrated, and It Functions exactly like Korean Animation and All of the Other Sweatshop Asain Animation in general. Firstly, The Animation attempts to bring back classic 1940s Looney Tunes animation By Having More And More Inbetweens and More Poses BUT there's a Saying that Less is More and More means LESS! The Movements are Most Defiantly Not Fluid AT ALL and Instead Everything Moves in A Really Clunky and Static manner, Thus Making the Scrolling and Overall Framerate severely Choppy at times, And Need i forget there is also a CGI Scene that i nearly missed yet managed to catch it back in time, Also Attempting to Catch Up With Disney's CGI CAPS Sequences, That Looked Hardly Special and Really Old Hat by 1999 (Compare it To Pixar Films like Toy Story and Even Something like Rolie Polie Olie and You'll See What I Mean), Secondly, The Cel Shading Is Really Unnecessary and Really COLD! All It Does Is Make the Character Really Dirty and Extremely Dusty, It's Exactly like The Stuffy Disney Airbrush Shading on Stuff Like Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame, Aladdin, Roger Rabbit and Back in Action, How is Having all of your Characters covered in Muddy Baseball dirt Beautiful, How is That Beautiful and It's Not Accurate as is REAL True Life Shading At All, It's Completely Amateurish. And Also It's Absolutely NOT funny at all, Instead It Was Extremely Loud, Harsh, Formulaic, Extremely Inconsistent, Increasingly Repetitive and therefore making it Headache Inducing, and Need I Mention The Voices, *Shrug* You Have The Most Talented Actors in the Cartoon Voicing Business listing Maurice La Marche (does a Fabulous Orson Wells and Inspector Gadget), Rob Paulsen (very Recognizable, no matter what the Character, you can say the same for a few other today actors too), Jim Cummings (Mastermind at Villan Voices, a Great Pete, also recognizable), Jess Harnell, Frank Welker ( He Does Awesome Animals, that's why he is so often used as the voice of animals nowadays) and Yet Here They Are Stiffed and Pushed into doing Such Loud, Obnoxious and Ear Blasting Voicework, The Same Can Be Said for Mel Blanc as Well Who Did An Amazing Job as Such Characters Like Barney Rubble, Tycoon Magoo (a Loud Voice too, But A Different Kind of Quiet and Funny Loud that Suggests his Character and not ear blasting), Mr Spacely and Woody Woodpecker, and Yet At Warners, He Was MOSTLY pushed into doing Annoying and Straining Voicework (Smoking made Matters Worser) , But However, Underneath, He Still Did Amazing Voicework specifically Characters Like Foghorn Leghorn (A Great Kenny Delmar impersonation), Daffy Duck, Slyvester & Of Course Yosemite Sam.
Also The Theme Tunes, It's Pure Tacky Cut and Paste Stop and Go 1 - 2 - 3 Carl Stalling Garbage. All I Can Say Is that Richard Stone Sure Was an Overrated Hackball Tacky Composer Who Sure didn't Seem Capable of Doing Any Better, But Then Again, For Sure, You Could ALMOST (with the exception of Disney and Ub Iwerks scores) Say the Same About Carl Stalling (Who is Even More Overrated, No Offense Guys who are Fans, But That's How I Hear the Truth). Anyway, I Belive that I've Said Quite Enough for Now, But This Is One Of the Most Wretched Abominations I've Ever Seen At this Point, The Story Is A Horribly Written Cameo Fest, The Character Drawings Are Really Disgustingly Terrible, Amateurish and Extremely Lousy (Ugh, Should The Nasty Jerry Lewis "Caricature" Explain It), The Music Is Horrible, The Voice Acting is Bad and The Overseas Animation (By TMS) Is Just Plain Awful. I've Seen It Once And Now It Is Something I Am Going to Stay Away From For Good.
This Also Goes the Same For the Original Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies as Well for Me ( Looking Through Too Many WB Shield and Bullseye Variation colors that gives me really bad shocks in the mind and therefore gives me anxiety and also put me into dino sized trouble once and Picking out and Going Through Blue Ribbons/Original Titles All in General is Not Worth it for Me ONE BIT! Plus I Find these Cartoons to Be Immensenly Overrated as well)
P.S What Do You Other Guys Think of Wakko's Wish.

Holy wall of text, Batman!
A couple of little tips:
-The Enter key is your friend; don't be afraid to use it. Indent and separate your paragraphs when making long posts. Text walls are a pain on the ol' eyes.
-It's not necessary to capitalize the first letter of every single word in every sentence, ex: Typing An Entire Sentence Like This. Only the first letter of the first word and of course proper names need to be capitalized. The former just looks very n00bish and amateur.
-The term 'anime' refers specifically to cartoons which originate in Japan (i.e., Pokemon, Inuyasha, Cowboy Bebop, Doraemon, Cutie Honey, etc. It does not apply to animation for cartoons from other countries done in Korean animation houses. If that were the case, then over 85% of Western animation would be labeled anime. Korea isn't part of Japan. Wakko's Wish is not an anime.
As for the review itself: I take it you've never seen Animaniacs, the show this movie originated from; since every TMS episode of A! utilized this same animation. Furthermore, the musical score and elements such as Paul Rudd's not Jerry Lewis caricature were staples of the show, which is why they were included in the movie. Not saying Wakko's Wish was a masterpiece, but you're judging it like someone who's never seen the show. All of the things that your zeroing in on as faults were all established parts of the show that fans would naturally expect in an Animaniacs movie.
If WW is your first ever exposure to Animaniacs, then I would suggest you check out the rest of the series for a more impartial viewpoint. It's generally assumed that most people tuning into WW were previously regular viewers of A!.
-Finally, you didn't say anything about the story of Wakko's Wish; you just complained about the animation (although the TMS animated episodes were generally regarded as the best animated episodes of A! and TMS are often referred to as the Disney of Korea), compared WW to anime (which again it isn't) and added an unnecessary rant about how you think the Merrie Melodies/Looney Tunes are overrated, which kind of borders on flamebait territory, especially since you offered no intelligent reasons why you think they're overrated. And how exactly does that tie into Wakko's Wish which wasn't a MM/LT and was made in an entirely different decade? No offense, but this comes off as less of a review and more of a gripe.

Whoops, Im Really Sorry, Starburst, But I HAVE Seen Animaniacs (even exactly remember the intro and the animation which is done by TMS) and Looney Tunes lots of times when i was little and I KNOW It isn't an anime, and im really so sorry, and I Know korea is not part of japan, Maybe i should of thought and think when i was writing the first post, that's all and sorry for the gripe, i was just doing this from memory and what i originally thought.
and i'm also sorry for the really bad typing, i actually do know how to type professionally, and i only saw half the movie, not from the beginning really (and i also have no intention of watching it again either).
Anyway forget all about my first "text wall" post (how can i update and fix that?) And How it ties into MM/LT (i know Wakko's Wish is not a Looney tune nor Merrie Melodie and was made in 1999) is Because they are from The Same Company, It DOES Feature the Dover Boys which are from the original Looney tunes/Merrie melodies series and Even if i only say bits of it and later caught the rest, The Story well all from my photographic sound memory is that it involved Warnerstock and it inloves the wishing star Hence the title and i think i already mentioned everything else, with the exception of the regulars of animaniancs.
oh and how i think LT/MM are overrated, all i can say is that they are just not funny to me anymore and i find the most famous ones (with specific exceptions, im not saying all of course) to be increasingly repetitive and formulaic and really tiring for me and after seeing tiny toons (anvils, mallets, dynamite), Censored 11 (including stuff like tokio jokio) and slugging through Countless Blog Posts (specifically John K's blog posts) About Clampett Well, My List from Memory Will Just Goes on and On, Don't Ask Why, Not Everybody has to like LT/MM that's what makes us so special and unique from each other.
and also speaking of which, this is coming off less a review and more a gripe (i think you mean rant  ) Now i fully realized this as a mistake, this should have been really as a comment (instead of a forum post) and also not really a review at all, seeing how the exact same mistake happened twice already, no more ol' text walls for me.
also thanks for the lesson on the capitals and are you sure that wasn't a jerry lewis caricature, because i once read that it was based on him, though.

He was indeed a caricature of Jerry Lewis, just never officially billed as such. Usually he was credited as 'Mr. Director', or something similar, depending on the short in which he appeared.
oh and how i think LT/MM are overrated, all i can say is that they are just not funny to me anymore and i find the most famous ones (with specific exceptions, im not saying all of course) to be increasingly repetitive and formulaic and really tiring for me and after seeing tiny toons (anvils, mallets, dynamite), Censored 11 (including stuff like tokio jokio) and slugging through Countless Blog Posts (specifically John K's blog posts) About Clampett Well, My List from Memory Will Just Goes on and On, Don't Ask Why, Not Everybody has to like LT/MM that's what makes us so special and unique from each other.
Eh, to each his/her own. I'm a huge fan of WB cartoons (have been since I was a kid, and continue to be so even now as a cranky adult); I like the Looney Tunes and their ilk tons more than the other Big 2 animation studios of my era, Disney and Hanna-Barbera (which is not meant to imply that I dislike either, 'cause I certainly don't; I just like Warner Bros. more), but hey, everyone's entitled to their own tastes.

Okay, So is it safe to continue then, and i'll let the other users (+ non users, even) know that just in case they read my first post that i simply didn't really mean ANYTHING in my first post and clearly ignore any mistakes and shortcomings and see and read and think very closely on the inside to clearly understand what i mean and that i was simply writing from supersonic hearing and photographic memory and actually mean, is it all good now?
Really Sorry for the Shortcomings, I'm just Really New Around here (now that of an apprentice)

It's cool. All good in the 'hood, baby. 
I'm sorry if I came off as uber-critical earlier; I'm a writer and English was my major in school, and as such I tend to be kind of an essay and grammar Nazi, you know what I mean? I'm trying to curb my habit of critiquing things so heavily. I may have to go on the nitpicking patch.

 Yes I Understand, I Understand
Very Very Well Then, Okay Fellas, Lets Start OFF, What Do YOU Guys REALLY think of Wakko's Wish.
Feel free to look and read at the first post but please ignore all the shortcomings and errors and the fact that it's a text wall  .
Also be sure to look and read very closely on the inside to fully understand what i actually mean ( you'll see a glimpse of it in My second post below Starburst's, use that too). I'm Both Cutting my Teeth and Improving my Communication skills, that's all, being a lion of course.
