I support this artistic movement in animation I haven’t watched the movie but I can tell it gives off more emotions. Possibly adds more movement for the scene/scenery of the film as well
I've been wishing for handpainted animation to comeback! I think the realistic look is an immense accomplishment in animation, but Chris is right in that handmade animations have a warmth to it!
@@FilmScoreandMore Yes it's really good. I think it has a shot at beating Inside Out 2 for the Oscar, which means it was exceptional. A non Disney/Pixar films needs to really really really amazing to beat a good/decent Disney/Pixar film. The score was amazing too. Would love to hear your thoughts on it some day.
@jungleblazers1249 DreamWorks does always seem to come second for awards. What I heard of the score in the raccoon clip seemed good. I’m looking forward to hearing more.
And the Oscar goes to......The Wild Robot for Best Animated Film of 2024. In addition, it snags a Special Achievement Award for Outstanding Presentation.
Excellent video! I love that you mentioned just how little information is in some of the richest parts of the most expressive paintings, there's truly something magical that happens in the brain when these messy loose strokes suddenly transform into something recognizable. Long live artistic animation!
Thanks! For checking it out! I definitely thought of your video on photorealistic animation while making it. Chris Sanders’ quote about those expressive paintings really shows how you don’t always need intricate detail to create meaning. There’s something really expressive coming out of animation these days.
HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend everyone watch this movie if you haven't!!! Visually stunning and extremely touching, it's a beautiful movie. One of my most favourite animated movies of all time.
I was kinda skeptical about watching this but now I really want to!! I do feel and enjoy the new animation style (or upgrade) of Puss in boots, bad guys and spider man. Especially puss in boots, it had a lot of vibrant colors and textures. With the wild robot I can see that being enhanced. Im glad the animators decided to look at the classics and find that simplicity and colors are some of the most important aspects of film. I remember my psychology class (which I may have mentioned in another video of yours lol) and we had to do a presentation. My partner and I (both film majors) decided to do about movies. I did the color aspect and music aspect. Definitely an eye opener on the affects of color. Also incredibly cool they are mimicking the paintings of Monet. Sorry this is really long I tend to nerd out lol
This movie was gorgeously done, and I definitely got the old-school Disney feel from it (like original Lion King to some extent). Honestly, it makes me wonder if Disney's Wish had been done in this style, would it have been better-received. Regardless, this movie is a bright spot for future animation.
I wasn't expecting you to cover this movie! I know it's by the same story writer as HTTYD but for some reason I just haven't felt the pull to go see it. We'll see how I feel this weekend.
Love you brought up Into the SpiderVerse…but both Bad Guys and Puss and Boots came out after it. Klaus may be the real secret animated project that broke the mold but didn’t get the same exposure.
This sort of hand-painted style isn't all that new; the 3D Clone Wars show uses a very similar animation style, with hand-painted textures and painted background plates and etc. It's not exactly the same - the Wild Robot is a bit more visibly hand-painted, and the clone wars typically shies away from shiny or reflective surfaces, but they are still very similar nonetheless.
It was a good movie, but the animal textures were a little odd for me. Now I know why. I kind of expect the fur to look real, but it was just different in this. Now I can at least understand why. Thanks
@@FilmScoreandMore I mean it is neat I guess and I don't want to be a hater for all their efforts but I honestly don't like it. I have a super nice TV and a lot of this movie I was looking at the textures and wondering why they were different between the robot and the animals. The animal fur was like standard definition while the robot and environment was clear and detailed. I guess there is some deeper meaning behind why they did it. I couldn't stop looking at the textures and getting distracted
I believe it was to show off the perfect clean, coded, "utopia" Roz had come from. Round, crisp and clean, perfectly structured. The animals looked the way they did to show off their wild side, to give them more animalistic vibe. I personally loved the way both sides looked! I think the visuals added a LOT to all of their personalities. I also enjoyed Roz's visual development throughout the movie. It wasn't just to showcase the damage her body had endured trying to save all the animals, but it was also to showcase that her perfect image was slowly starting to look more "wild".
How dare they mentioned Miyazaki influences. Miyazaki did value 2d animators and didn't seem to like 3d animation process. The main magic of 2d animations are not color, but the way of animator calculate and design the acting of characters in the scene. This is just put a 2d shirt in 3d modelling and animate them, 2d animators are still dying because not enough work to support themselves. Shame on many big animation studios.
Do you think it's possible Miyazaki would appreciate that visual artists are once again working with a pen in hand and that they share a passion for the 2D art style and nature?
@@FilmScoreandMore I doubt it. Miyazaki is/was a 2d animator before he started his company. While he is surely love visual arts, he was not a painting artist, 2d animator's work is about directing characters in each scene, it's a lot heavy and hard work depend on both drawing skill and film directing (good animator have these). And in a standard 2d pipeline, painting artist don't animate and cell (or digital cell) inking, they do (only) background picture painting which a skillful demanded work, but not as heavy as key animators/inbetweeners/line cleanups etc. This 3d painting mixed method is may be all good for 3d animation style and audiences, but have little to do with pull up or contribute to 2d animation works. I have watched Miyazaki's documentary a long time a go, following his retirement news and not sure he came out of retirement or not due to I stop fallowing Gibli studio news and the whole Western animation industries because my 2d animator career (in my country-TH) was ending, not enough work anymore. This vid was showing some classic and modern 2d animation that got me angry a bit. Sorry for it's becoming a long pointless rant.
What do you think of this new evolution in animation, moving away from the photorealistic and into the more artistic?
I haven't seen the movie yet, but looking at the animation and to answer your question. I love it, it reminds me a little of hand drawn animation.
@@ZaidNail That means they achieved something!
@@FilmScoreandMore yeah I know but still though, it's amazing I'm thinking about watching the wild robot during the weekend.
@ZaidNail Definitely, it looks really impressive.

Definitely! Things are looking up animation styles.
I just watched The Wild Robot and I have to say, it will definitely win the Best Animated Feature Oscar next year😄
Definitely? It’s that good?

Inside out to was truly a great movie but The Wild Robot is visually stunning. I’m haven’t seen it yet but just the trailers look gorgeous
@@TheLittleDudeMarcoPolo Do you think you’ll see it?
And the Oscar goes to......The Wild Robot for Best Animated Film of 2024. In addition, it snags a Special Achievement Award for Outstanding Presentation.
Really? I hadn't heard about that award. How did you hear about it?
@@FilmScoreandMore Not since 1938 Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
That was a monumental film.

This is a great video, you should totally make more in this style!
Thanks! What about the style would you like to see more of?
@@FilmScoreandMore anaylsising animation, or other small video essays on other aspects of film
@NewOrca I’ll have to keep that in mind and look into it.
man i rly like how it looks!!! i feel like this movie has a lot of potential
I think so too! I like how animation is evolving.
I was kinda skeptical about watching this but now I really want to!! I do feel and enjoy the new animation style (or upgrade) of Puss in boots, bad guys and spider man.

Don’t feel bad, this is an excellent comment! I appreciate your observations. It’s really exciting what animation is starting to do here.
Fantastic video! Loved this movie. I’m not familiar with the original book. Great to see how it was adapted
Thanks, glad to hear about the movie! I still haven’t seen it yet.
Looks beautiful I cannot wait to watch it
After a month on this video I’m a little curious about it too!
This movie was gorgeously done, and I definitely got the old-school Disney feel from it (like original Lion King to some extent).
Honestly, it makes me wonder if Disney's Wish had been done in this style, would it have been better-received. Regardless, this movie is a bright spot for future animation.
I’ve heard Wish had deeper problems than just the animation.
They had me at "minimalizing."
Minimalizing is in now!
I wasn't expecting you to cover this movie! I know it's by the same story writer as HTTYD but for some reason I just haven't felt the pull to go see it. We'll see how I feel this weekend.
It looks like it might be worth checking out!
@@FilmScoreandMore Update: I am seeing it tomorrow.
@MamaSymphonia Let me know what you think of it!
@@FilmScoreandMore Update #2: It was brilliant.
@MamaSymphonia Good to hear! Something like this could easily be all style and no substance.
Love you brought up Into the SpiderVerse…but both Bad Guys and Puss and Boots came out after it. Klaus may be the real secret animated project that broke the mold but didn’t get the same exposure.
Yes, of course. I didn’t mean The Bad Guys or Puss In Boots preceded it, just that they mark a new direction for DreamWorks in this new style.
I love how they aren't afraid to flat out say Sony and Disney have inspired their films!
They seem to really love what these other studios are doing (or have done)!

Interesting! I never realized they did that, but I could see it.
"everything in this is hand painted" just like topgun maverick says "there's no CGI on this movie" 😂
Do you have reason to believe the textures aren’t hand-painted?
It was a good movie, but the animal textures were a little odd for me. Now I know why. I kind of expect the fur to look real, but it was just different in this. Now I can at least understand why. Thanks

@munarong I understand. Regardless, this movie may be a new step back in that “analog” direction.
ok but how do I find a tutorial to achieve similar textures? I tried everywhere 🥲
Have you looked into tutorials for digital impressionist painting?
