PIXAR vs. Sailor Moon?

This topic has been debated so many times in the animation industry. We all know that hand-drawn animations were done with so many sheets of paper to make a story out of it. In today's world of animation, computers makes the job done easier for animators. They can even make life-like characters with computer rendering and many more!

PIXAR'S Toy Story is one of the computer rendered animation. Its characters, setting and the environment is very life like that you're almost actually watching toys going on rampage. Computer animation has very limited amount of hand drawing involve, unlike the old way of making animation, making a 1 minute video would probably take at least 3 days to draw. An example of a hand drawn animation is a Japanese animation Sailor Moon. Its original story was done through manga (Japanese technical way of saying comics), but when it wen't on television sets, its animation was originally done with hand drawings.

Animators that produce their film with hand-drawn animations, the production time is much more lengthy than computer graphic rendered animations. So at the end, the animators that get paid the most are the animators that work with computer rendered animations.

In my personal opinon, both are an excellent way to tell a story and to make art. But its even better if both type of animations are combined together.

WARNING! A Cat who eats people is on rampage!

I watched the trailer for the film "The Cat With Hands". I most likely expected something way different that I can't make any words out of it. The trailer was very gloomy and dark, and it also makes me want to see the whole film. In contrary, there is a very bright and interesting part that the cat has in the movie. The can has the ability to "consume" people and eventually become the person that the cat consumed, which is something I have certainly seen before, but I never thought that it would be excellent like that.

Animation was also used on the cat to at least in my opinion, give me an understanding that the cat is unreal and what it does is totally out of this world. It at least make me not too fearful of the movie, but it still keeps its suspense within it. Obviously, no single cat can do just that, but it is amazing how people uses their imagination to make people feel suspense and thrill by using a cat.

I personally do not understand the purpose of the man speaking, other than telling the audience what the cat does in the film. Eventually, the man gets consumed by the cat.

What I think of this film after watching its trailer will be 8.5/10. The film is very interesting to watch, but I don't think that it'll grab people's attention. Probably other than the people that are interested in suspense and fearful films, but I do applaud the creator of this film as he or she used a lot of techniques to emphasize the story and I really like that.
