It is amazing, isn't it? But then, Disney seems happy to let Pixar create
non-musical films, as long as they rake in the money. Disney seems to be the
distribution branch, Pixar co-founder John Lassiter(sp) has done the dub
work on Spirited Away. I've heard that Disney has exclusive rights to all of
Studio Ghibli's works in the US, so there may be some more things comming.
Meanwhile, I am still dismayed Anno wasn't involved with the Animatrix
compilation; his wacked-out view of things would have been perfect!
Vaughn L.Porter
Even something
light-hearted,
like, say, what really
happens to Mahoro or EVA-01.

This is correct, IIRC, but not just for the US, for the world excluding
Japan..

Disney did a truly horrorific job on the Spirited Away DVD. Lots of
trailers for Disney pap you are FORCED to watch, an image that is
underscanned and deliberately over processed. This shameful treatment
is, of course, not surprising after the appauling way Disney distributed
and promoted the theatrical release.
And speaking of Lassiter, he provides an overwhelmingly patronizing
intro to Spirited Away on the DVD. Its as if he and Disney feel that
you the viewer are TOO STUPID to understand the film yourself.
This treatment of Spirited Away, combined with the savaging Disney is
giving their other Ghibli works, makes it clear that Disney is trying to
throttle the penetration of these superior works into the US market,
where Disney's shit reigns supreme.
There is an excellent article in the latest Home Theater magazine about
Disney's horrors.

Thanks. I've liked the Pixar stuff so far, I'm a sucker for CGI. I was just
suprised to see Disney promote anything unlikely to spawn a toy line, a
strait to video sequel, and a McDonalds Happy kid meal prmotion.
What exatly is the Animatix? I've heard it mentioned, but not described.

the DVD so can't comment on the quality.
I did'nt think the promotion was handled any worse than any other film
advertised in the U.S., and if they had'nt ditributed it might have been
years before American's got to see it, let alone in theater(I did, twice)
where forern animation is almost unheard here. So you take the bad with the
good sometimes.

I don't see this as attempting to stop exposure to this material(they know
its too late!), just Disney trying to get a piece of it while they still
can. Exposing millions to high quality animation with storytelling can't be
all bad.
For the most part I agree with you about Disney's corporate methods. I
think their legal department has pictures of the Death Star on motavational
posters!

To paraphrase Morpheus, "No one can be told what the Animatrix is. You have
to see it for yourself."
Seriously, though, The Animatrix is a collage of 9 animated shorts from some
of anime's top dogs, all inspired by the Wachowski Brothers' runaway hit
"The Matrix" and the current sequel "The Matrix Reloaded". One short, "The
Final Flight of the Osiris", ties in directly with "Matrix Reloaded" by
explaining how the resistance found out about the Machine's plans to burrow
into Zion and destroy it, using giant digging machines and a quarter-million
"squiddies", or Sentinel droids. BTW, if you're really into the whole
"Matrix" thing, you need to see "Reloaded", the final film "The Matrix
Revolutions" in November, play the "Enter the Matrix" videogame, and watch
"The Animatrix". It will make you believe Keanu Reeves can fly!
Vaughn L.Porter
If nothing else, see "Reloaded" for
the scene
where Neo faces off against 100
Agent Smiths.
James M
I've seen Reloaded, I think my fav scene was the chase/fight sequence on
the highway. They way Morpheus finished off the two "goast" agents in the
suv was too cool.

Did'nt they say that the guy(name completley forgotten) who was holding the
keymaster prisioner used "agents" from previous versions of the matrix as
enforcers?
Vaughn L.Porter
No, they were "defective" programs that the Matrix was supposed to have
deleted. Doesn't seem to have very good clean-up routines, does it?
Vaughn L.Porter
The Matrix HasYou. It doen't have Norton
AntiVirus.
