Red Mosquito

I am not sure why I like trailer this so much. Maybe it captures the innocence just right?

I love Peanuts so much.

Me too. Spanish is the best kind.

The fact that this is CGI really, really bothers me.

I love Peanuts too, but I'm not excited about the animation style they went with here and BlueSky has made some really shitty movies in the past. The First Rio was "good" and Robots "wasn't terrible," but the rest have been bad.

I will probably see it just out of sheer love of Peanuts, but I'm nervous any time these characters are in someone's hands other than Charles Schulz's.

i usually can't stand hearing any peanuts characters' voices other than the kids who did the 1965 specials :/

ITT: Things are being held dear

Yeah the animation style is irksome.

Really? You guys are bothered by the animation? I think the animation on that looks really cute and unique. turned2black brings up the point that worries me most. I don't like Rio, and HHHAAATTEEEE Rio 2.

Basically hearing this movie existed worried me (ie Smurfs), but the trailer really eliminated the concerns i had.

i like it. seems in keeping with the old 2d animation, just done in 3d.

exactly. So many of the CGI from lesser studios looks like bad local window company commercials. This one looks like a unique style with almost a claymation feel to it.

Gosh this Macey's parade theme is important and I really hope they don't ruin it by appealing to kids

where's reid?

The death of cell animation is a mini-tragedy to me, especially for something that has always been done that way. But I will say it looks about as good as it could doing it this way.

I wouldn't say it is a "closeness" as much as it is a very unique mutual respect. It is a type of respect I do not share with anyone else in my different social circles.

It is very much a team mentality, but different in that progress comes as much from within as it does from the external forces of your training partners. Steel sharpens steel, but one must forge and then wield their sword individually.

Jiujitsu first submits the ego. After an unknown length of time, which varies per individual, it calms the nerves and sharpens awareness. Eventually it elevates confidence and one begins to evolve not just into a better fighter, but a better human.

Personally, nothing else has really compared to the wide range of feelings it has given me. I feel that I owe a lot of gratitude to the art.

great

I tweeted Skitch last night that it looks like it was produced by Brendan O'Brien. I stand by that characterization.

I will def see this.

Looks like fun. I'd watch it, I think the animation suits it.
