Festive man of snow

7/12/2007

Need I say anymore for this? Back inth day (I talk as though I was there back in the day, I wasn’t), back in the day channel 4 took a bit of a chance on this, and now its become a classic forever.

Silence, haunting.. perfection. I adore the fact that theres no dialect anywhere, and it doesn’t need any. This realy is thinking outside of the radio 1 box, snowmen getting together and coming alive…

Imagine the man hours with those crayons and coloured pencils. It all works so well, I want to live inside it, makes me think of perfect Christmases, roaring fires, chintz on the wall, turkey cooking, red wine, awful christmas decorations…

Its horrible to say it, but I’m not a fan of ‘old’ animation, the old disney stuff really doesn’t do anything for me, but I adore this

When the first curly child is born he / she will be forced into watching the snowman every year until they are old enough to learn how to unlock the door and negotiate the mighty moat around the cottage/farm.

Yes the christmas spirit has suddenly descended upon me, is it too early to send Christmas cards?

There are others

Gosh yes two posts in one day, blogtastic, but I can think of no other finer reason to bring you two rambles in as many hours.

Its a big world, I don’t know about you, but I feel incredibly alone sometimes with my brain and thoughts and dreams, it seems the majority of the world just follows along, bloody base drums, synthesizers, lads with guitars and trendy haircuts, loads of music videos with sweaty oily people…anyhow thats what sells and what the majority want so thats whats done..end of rant.

Its just nice to see there are some different things out there, things of beauty truth and true originality.

I really dont need to say anything, its perfect and I adore it

i DO believe in fairies!!

Im not sure what I can say about this, its in my top 5 movies..and considering Im not a fan of movies anyway this must be something rather tiffing!

And yes tiffing it is, I adore it, its perfect, a dream, a wish, colours…! Colours a kimbo! Another world of different rules…and the music, my my gosh.

Im really struggling to get across what I feel inside more than usual today after a rather stressful day. The clouds are suessy and perfect, gosh the colours! it sends shivers down the spine.

There will be those no doubt who will say they prefer the old old disney animation. Well I dont, and this is in another league. Thought has gone into this, people have had meetings, artists called in, pastels and paint have been used, coffee drunk. People out there have poured their hearts and souls into this and it shows…do give it a wurl. This is another of those things which has permission to be played loud.

Christ I hate radio 1.

If you are a hipper hopper, and like a bit more hippety hop in your ramble, this is also an excellent montage

Gosh, im tempted to buy a HD Telly, HD DVD player (or blueray of course) and a dangerously submersive surround sound system just to enjoy this film the best it can

Following the dream.

3/11/2007

Another tale of those taking a risk, following a dream, doing something different…it didnt work out to be a financial success, but touched some people VERY deeply.

Behold TREASURE PLANET, one of the best things to come out of disney since the classic days of Aladdin and lion king.

Its not so much the story that does it, but just how they have taken it and totally flipped it on its head, yet kept the past in the future…and it just looks beautiful, its scrummy and oozes colour and atmosphere.

I appologise for the lack of good grammer and good things to say its rather late, but I so adore this film, im not normaly a film person, but theres something about this, something that now lives inside me for ever and will be shown (with force is required) to the curly children.

Sleep tight voyagers
