IT’S SEQUENTIAL DRAWINGS VERSUS FLESH & BLOOD ACTORS IN A SHOWDOWN OF MULTIMEDIA PROPORTIONS!
Since the advent of filmmaking, people have been combining live-action photography with hand-drawn animation and now we’re talking about it. But this is a podcast and we don’t have time to cover a century of motion pictures, so Gabe and returning guest Tyler Foster are covering a smaller collection of movies released in the wake of Robert Zemeckis’ Who Framed Roger Rabbit? (1988), some inspired by its success, others that would have existed without it.
This month’s diverse slate includes Walter C. Miller’s It’s the Girl in the Red Truck, Charlie Brown (1988), Maurizio Nichetti & Guido Manuli’s Volere Volare (To Want to Fly, 1991), Ralph Bakshi’s Cool World (1992), Jan Svankmajer’s Faust (1994), and Des McAnuff’s The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle (2000). I had some issues with Tyler's audio and had to do some actual (gasp) mixing to correct it. Hopefully, I did my job well enough that it sounds relatively consistent.
