Mind Over Murphy Episode 1 Review: Another Win For Pencilish!!!

 


    Pencilish is on a role, first with the absolutely delightful Bjorn, and now the equally amazing Mind Over Murphy which tells the story of a man named Murphy and his Brain who's follows him around giving him terrible advice. One of the many things I love about the show is how it depicts are thought process in such a creative and hysterical way!! Like for example, Murphy's trying to decide what to do tonight so Brain makes it like a game show or Brain tells him memories like its a bedtime story. THE PEOPLE AT PENCILISH ARE GENIUSES!! Already they have these shows with such unique and original and creative premises!! THE PRODUCTION DESIGN IN THIS SHOW IS NEXT LEVEL GUYS!!! It reminds me of Maurice Noble, who did backgrounds for Looney Tunes, with its bold and beautiful color and simple shapes. The character designs also has that Noble sensibility with the colors and shapes. What I like about the character designs is that the characters are like purple or orange or blue. What I LOVE about Pencilish is that there shows have very unique character designs compared to other Cartoons out there that have that Cal Arts style with the bean mouth and head. Which is a great style, but its nice to see some diversity. Also the animation guys!! ONE PERSON ANIMATED THE WHOLE THING. ONE PERSON AND IT LOOKS AMAZING!!! I'm pretty sure this was animated using rigs which is when you have a character and you move them with like these rigs, which to me doesn't always look appealing and looks stiff, but Mind Over Murphy's animation is crisp, fluid, and sharp and uses the rigs to its advantage. I also LOVE the voice acting!! Brian Hull as Brain (heh heh, Brian/Brain) kills it and Max St. John who also created the show kills it as well and does an amazing job playing the straight man that goes off of the crazy characters cooky shenanigans. Mind Over Murphy is another delightful banger from Pencilish that is hysterical as it is creative and great to look at. I LOVE PENCILISH and they are going places!! I cannot wait to see what they have in store for us next.

Underrated Animation: Looney Tunes: Back in Action: One of the best live action/animation hybrid movies ever

Image
    Looney Tunes Back in Action is outstanding! It is  very underrated! It is a lot like Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Mary Poppins where it combines 2d hand drawn animation and live action. The movie combines everything I love about Looney Tunes and more with monsters, spy's, Steve Martin, Westerns, Adventure films, and everything else I love. The interactions between the animated characters and the human characters are amazing, very fun to look at, here is an example.      The animation is gorgeous, oh and also, IT IS HILARIOUS! I was dying of laughter! It gets the personalities of the looney tunes characters down. Tons of looney tunes and movie references that I love! Making fun of product placement! To be honest with you, its better then Space Jam and here's why. Space Jam is fantastic but it does make very little sense. There's a lot of plot holes and questionable things, however the looney tunes characters, the animation, humor, and the originality of t...

Animated Films with stylized animation (and how they did it)

Image
 I got a ton of reviews for movies and shows that I wanna do but I feel like I've been doing a lot of reviews lately, so I'm gonna do this instead. It gives me a little else to talk about. Today I'm gonna talk about movies with animation that looks like nothing we've seen before and how they did it. I also put videos so you can see the process. Spider-Man into the Spiderverse Spider-Man into the Spiderverse is a groundbreaking film in many ways. But one reason is because of its incredible animation! How they made the computer animation look like a comic book is amazing! How they did it is they put a lot of 2-D lines on the characters face. Look closely on Miles' face, see how the wrinkles on his forehead look hand drawn. They also animated most of the movie on twos, which means that they are 12 frames of animation in one second instead of the 24 frames of animation in one second which is used in most animated films. They did this to make the animation feel more grap...
