Cute Animals Are Doing Awful Things To Each Other

Posted by calamityensues

Cat Shit One looks amazing. It's gritty, it's got action, it's, to an extent, realistic. And it has anthropomorphic animals. Now, I for one think this is an interesting alternative to have people. Most of the time, animation with animals tends to be happy, cute, fun kid's stuff. Cat Shit One is far from that.

This brings up a point. Browsing comments on Youtube, I saw a lot of guffawing at the fact that we are watching cute bunnies shoot camels point blank in the head. Does this negate the grit? Does this take something serious and make it a joke? Is it possible to truly make something dark, serious, and epic, with a cute lil' soldier named Packy?

Personally, I can look past it. In fact, that they are animals makes me want to see this even more. It's a bold move, and I hope to catch this as soon as I can.

Episode 3: Where’s Bridget?

Posted by calamityensues

Hey.

What's up? How's the family? Good? Good.

So... Uh.. This week is a cartoon. It's called "An American Tail" by Don Bluth. We talk about it, and you guys listen, and enjoy. It's a doozy. Pay special attention, as the episode's title will make more than one appearance over the course of the episode. As always, you can sync our commentary to the movie. We give a little countdown after the introduction to help you out. Here's a hint: you might want to set the DVD to 00:00:00. *winks*

Here's a testimonial from someone who set their DVD up prior to the start of the episode: "Setting up the DVD was the best thing I could have done. Not only was I able to be properly synced up, I also found 20 bucks in the DVD tray! Thanks TCC. Thanks."

The Wind Whistles is a lovely band and they have quite the album. Their song "Where Does the Garbage Go?" is our current opening theme. Check them out. You'll be glad you did.

And now, without further delay, episode 3 of Technicolor Commentary.
