Nerdy Couch Discussion: The Simpsons the phenomenon. What is the future for The Simpsons? A little history about the show and our history with The Simpsons. Main Discussion: The Simpsons Movie (2007) Initial thoughts about the seeing the film. Love the intro, Green Day cover of the theme song, and Itchy & Scratchy episode. They introduce a lot of familiar elements from the beginning, making it feel like just another episode. Spider Pig, one of the most memorable parts of the film. When the jokes/film get too current, is when it starts to date itself and the film goes downhill. Quality animation in this film. Some things don't work like the 3D mob.

Gotta love the bodacious babe, the red-dress fairy herself Crysta! Gotta love the red-headed mullet guy fairy. Music is neither good nor memorable. Batty is a boring character. Not really even the amazing Robin Williams can save him. His dated 90s rap is horrible. Hexxus is a great villain. Definitely wins the award for creepiest villain. Talk about GREAT animation!

We had a hard time relating to...appliances. Talking about the voice actors: Jon Lovitz, Phil Hartman. Where did all these songs come from? They didn't quite work. The animal scene is just bizarre. Same with Toaster's dream. Yikes! Mason favorite movie trope: the characters searching for each other and JUST miss each other. The new electronics are fancy...but mean! The dump. Gotta love the 80s/90s making trash evil.

Full Show Notes: http://rotoscopers.com/93 Highlights Main Discussion: Pinocchio (1940) Talking about the production history. Diving into the original 1883 book The Adventures of Pinocchio. What did they change from the original story? Jiminy Cricket is the perfect lovable Disney sidekick. Geppetto is a cute, relatable character. But what out! tobacco warning! Talk about the score by Paul Smith and the Pinocchio Legacy Collection. Stromboli is an excellent example of squash and stretch. We meet Honest John and Gideon again. Aw, Pleasure Island.

Mason breaks down the bonus features on the Watership Down Criterion Collection Blu-ray. Based on a popular and famous book of the same name.

We just love kung fu! Last episode we reviewed Kung Fu Panda and we just couldn't get enough. This episode, we review the 2011 sequel Kung Fu Panda 2! Highlights Main Discussion: Kung Fu Panda 2 General info, box office results, and first thoughts and recollections. Morgan thought the intro was going to be a lot more epic. The score by Hans Zimmer and John Powell really does a great job of drawing you in. It's very lyrical and dictates what is happening on screen. Big plot problem: Po's "Who am I? Where did I come from?" dilemma comes out of no where. Needed more build up. Lord Shen is an amazing villain. This is one of the most emotional DreamWorks films. Did Shen survive? In frame by frame, you see him crushed by his canon. So that's where all the pandas went! Voicemail: Katie, Sarah Listen Twitter question: What is your favorite scene or quote from Kung Fu Panda 3?

First thoughts and recollections about the movie. Is it easier to do martial arts in animation? The 2D opening sequence is by the amazing James Baxter. The Furious 5 meet Po. Tai Lung and his epic escape out of the prison. Morgan has issues with how long it took Po to be a master. What we think about the message "there is no secret ingredient." Major theme of the movie: You need to be ok with you. Another theme: turning your weaknesses into strengths. We rate it!

The Rotoscopers review DreamWorks' second CGI animated film, the amazing, hilarious, irreverent Shrek. Highlights Main Discussion: Shrek (2001) Morgan and Chelsea saw this movie in theatres together and bonded over the fairy tale and Disney parodies. Mason goes in depth about the lighting, rigging, animation and character designs. Animation technology really shows its age. So quotable! John Powell did the score. He's like a Rotoscoper for music--Disney, DreamWorks, and everything in between. New DREAMWORKS theory: all DreamWorks films are biblical. Which Eddie Murphy character is better? Donkey or Mushu? This movie works because it points out the ridiculousness of fairy tales. Duloc is a ripoff of Disneyland. But it's hilarious. Donkey is so dense, but it's what makes him so endearing. The theme of layers really is critical to the whole film. The blatant transformation ripoff of the Beast's transformation. The toes!

All good things must come to a close--it's the final film in the Rotoscopers' Mice & Rats podcast series, Don Bluth's debut film The Secret of NIMH. Highlights Nerdy Couch Discussion: Main Discussion: The Secret of NIMH (1982) Shout out to to the fan-made trailer by ELO1138. The staples of a Don Bluth film: dazzle, Dom Deluise, and knobbly hands. The opening: one of the best writing in any of Bluth's film. Why do we love Mrs. Brisby? Classic movie trope: fear of flying. The drama with Mrs. Frisby and Frisbee. The owl and Nicodemus have elements of the same character. Jenner: is he a good villain? The amulet and its powers aren't quite explained. The scientific elements make sense; the mystical, not so much. We rate it! Voicemail: Sarah, Eric.

The fans voted and the Rotoscopers delivered! Chelsea, Morgan, and Mason continue the Rats and Mice series with Once Upon a Forest! Highlights Main Discussion: Once Upon a Forest It's ok. Not bad. But just ok. Classic James Horner. There's alway a wind instrument solo. Mason soapbox moment: Why are there animals that are selectively clothed and selectively naked? It's the 90s! Look at all the orphans and single parent households. Everyone rants about the environmentalist message. Message of the movie: stop driving cars and kill all the owls. The owls in this film remind of the movie. How many people are actually trying to climb up there to get the flower? Humans are evil, but not really! We rate it!

We're continuing with our Mice & Rats podcast series with rag-to-riches story, Disney's 1950 classic Cinderella! Highlights Nerdy Couch Discussion: Why are Cinderella, Snow White and Aurora seen as "weak" characters? Main Discussion: Cinderella (1950) Great example of human character animation. Epic Morgan rant on the horrible HD restoration. Cinderella was never poor. Poor is a state of mind. Introducing the mice, who really sidetrack the movie. Lucifer and Clean Flicks. The King and the Grand Duke are amazing. Wish we had more time. Wait, the King wants the ball to happen...TONIGHT?! You know your dress is bad if the mic thing it looks old. The Mary Blair influence really starts coming to life during the ball. Gotta love the King and Duke's interactions. Love Cinderella because she's never bitter, angry or entitled, just grateful.

Highlights Main Discussion: Ratatouille (2007) First thoughts and recollections of the film. Chelsea can't get over the fact that the main character's a rat. Morgan and Mason love it.

Highlights A little insight about Disney's package film era. Main Discussion: The Adventures of Ichabod & Mr. Toad (1949) Initial thoughts. Differences between the two films. Mr. Toad is a frustrating character. Why do his friends try to help him? Both of these films have pretty good gags. Cyril Proudbottom is not a good friend. Also, Winky is creepy.

Highlights Nerdy Couch Discussion: Mice in animation Main Discussion: The Great Mouse Detective (1986) First thoughts and memories. 1992 VHS release. The whole film takes place in one night.

The Rotoscopers head back to medieval times to discover King Arthur, the Knights of the Round Table and a really bizarre movie, Quest for Camelot. Highlights Main Discussion: Quest for Camelot (1998) Morgan has faint memories of seeing this with Chelsea, but...remembers nothing of the film. The movie poster turned Morgan off. This is an example of what happens when oblivious executives meddle in a film. The music suffers. What is it trying to be? Serious? Comical? A musical? Gandondorf aka Ruber: "Now all of Hyrule knows you are here." Garett: He has a bird companion who is not evil! The conjoined twin dragons are the worst part of this film. Why the goofy, obnoxious song? Why do animated films feel the need to dumb it down? What we (and our Twitter followers)would have done to make this movie better.

Main Discussion: We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story (1993) The early '90s were the era of the dinosaur. Vorb tops the list for annoying side character.

It's an animated film of mammoth-size proportions: Blue Sky's first film, Ice Age. Highlights Main Discussion: Ice Age History of Blue Sky Studios. It started out as a VFX and commercial studio. Interesting to see that a lot of studios start out as a commercial-making studio and then slowly grow to making features. Mother Gothel: "Enough with the migrations." Surprising voice talent. What the Jack Black? The dodo sequence! The big moment that pays off: the cave painting sequence. It helps you really understand Diego...finally. Sequelitis: we rant about sequels.

In this episode, the Rotoscopers have a riveting discussing about one of Disney's most forgotten about animated films Dinosaur. Highlights Main Discussion: Dinosaur Only the hardest of hard core fans remember this film. It is not recognized as a Disney classic in the UK? Wait what? Lots of hype, but a lot of disappointment after seeing it. Lack of character development. Unappealing characters make you not care about them. Theme of abundance vs. scarcity. Why does it seem that almost every dinosaur animated film has to be about a migration? This is one reason why we're looking forward to Pixar's The Good Dinosaur. We rate it! Voicemails: Jess, Thomas.

In what societal class is Jane? Thank you creators for making a plausible way for them to overcome the language barrier (unlike the magical leaves from Pocahontas.) Clayton is a weak villain.
