Ahwell's Lists and Projects
My last review thread didn't really work out, and I think that was because writing reviews just took too much time and energy. So I've decided to do another form of reviews, by keeping track of my lists and projects here. This will include lists and explanations of my favorite movies, and other activities I might do.

#1 Toy Story vs. #16 Kung Fu Panda
1. Originality https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...-Toy_Story.jpg Toy Story Of course it's going to be Toy Story. This film was the first fully computer animated film, but besides that, it also brought a new Renaissance to the Animation Era, one where adults and kids alike could enjoy these films equally. That is truly what "Pixar Magic" is, and it all started here. Kung Fu Panda is of course original in it's wacky idea of a panda doing martial arts... but it doesn't stand a chance to Toy Story. 2. Script/Screenplay https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/11...g?v=1533061972 Toy Story The script of Toy Story is part of the reason why it still holds up today, and kids and adults alike can enjoy it. It is simply an intelligent, brilliantly well designed screenplay with hilarious jokes, interesting dialogues, and great character development. Unlike the Disney films of the 90s, Toy Story brings its screenplay above and beyond, and in doing so ushered in a new age of animation. 3. Animation https://d1xfgk3mh635yx.cloudfront.ne...?itok=nW-APENR Kung Fu Panda As influential as Toy Story's animation was, it's not much to look at anymore. With Kung Fu Panda we get beautiful oriental colors and designs, and the animals like fresh and interesting. 4. Characters https://target.scene7.com/is/image/T...=488&fmt=pjpeg Toy Story With Toy Story, two of the most iconic animated characters ever were created, Woody and Buzz. Alongside them are every other toy, all of whom bring delightful imaginative personalities to the film that just are on a different level than that of Kung Fu Panda. 5. Music/Sound https://cps-static.rovicorp.com/3/JP...er=allrovi.com Toy Story Neither of these soundtracks are masterpieces, but Randy Newman pulled off a satisfying score to Toy Story, including You've Got a Friend in Me, which may be a bit dated, but it's still as heartwarming to listen to as ever. 6. Themes/Values http://cdn.windows7themes.net/pics/toy-story-10.jpg Toy Story Toy Story's themes might be a bit deeper and darker than you remember. Alongside the themes of friendship and being able to adapt to change, we get the hard truth that sometimes you can't be everything you want to be. Kung Fu Panda is more of a Rocky with martial arts and animals... it works, I guess. 7. Structure/Pacing https://i0.wp.com/thestorydepartment...size=600%2C338 Both these films have very basic structures, but I prefer Toy Story's. Woody and Buzz, who each have their respective climaxes near the end, have great early scenes of building character, and their resolutions are perfect. Toy Story - 6 Kung Fu Panda - 1 Winner: #1 Toy Story |
#2 Monsters, Inc. vs. #15 Wallace and Grommit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit
1. Originality https://i.pinimg.com/originals/f3/aa...e37687e8b7.jpg Monsters, Inc. All the monsters and buildings are so cool and original in Monsters, Inc. so it has to beat out Curse of the Were-Rabbit. 2. Script/Screenplay https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/...20170206042038 Wallace and Grommit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit This movie has one of the wittiest scripts I know. I don't know why I would expect anything different from a Wallace and Grommit movie... 3. Animation https://static1.squarespace.com/stat...g?format=2500w Monsters, Inc. Every detail is well placed, I loved the snow scenes, and Pixar just really ramped it up from Toy Story and a Bug's Life. 4. Characters https://i.redd.it/a10xykjcvlz11.jpg Monsters, Inc. As great as Wallace and Grommit are, Sully, Mike, and Boo, are just too great to miss. They have perfect chemistry and the supporting cast is great too. 5. Music/Sound https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon....AL._SY355_.jpg Wallace and Grommit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit This movie had a suprisingly fascinating and interesting soundtrack. I loved the organ playing scene, the horror elements, and the simple fun orchestrations and rhythms that went with Wallace and Grommit's adventures. 6. Themes/Values https://i.ytimg.com/vi/aMwSNDRP90o/hqdefault.jpg Monsters, Inc. Monsters, Inc. of course has a deep theme, because it's Pixar and that's what we expect from them. For this film, I think it's about creating joy rather than fear in the world, and understand differences. But a lot of the themes of this movie are actually up to interpretation, which makes them all the better. 7. Structure/Pacing https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XNlLiLX1W...BSTRUCTURE.jpg Monsters, Inc. It's a wild romp, but the structure and pacing of Monsters Inc. is smooth, controlled, and beautifully well planned. It has the same type of plot structure as Wallace and Grommit, but I think Monsters, Inc. pulls it off better. Monsters, Inc. - 5 Wallace and Grommit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit - 2 Winner: #2 Monsters, Inc. |
#3 The Incredibles vs. #14 Sleeping Beauty
1. Originality https://i1.wp.com/moviepilot.blog/wp...00%2C407&ssl=1 The Incredibles This is a crazy fun super hero spoof with real family issues, about discovering your talent, and has a fun fashin designer who refuses to make capes... yes, it's going to win over a Disney princess tale, no matter how well made it is. 2. Script/Screenplay https://i.ytimg.com/vi/G_-t0abuSb4/maxresdefault.jpg The Incredibles A criticism I often have for superhero movies are the lackluster script, completely plot based and uninteresting. The Incredibles is a nice chance. Four years before Marvel would bring something new to the game, this movie fused comedy, action, and drama to create a brilliant script, something new for the genre. 3. Animation http://cdn.collider.com/wp-content/u...uty-disney.jpg Sleeping Beauty WOW. That was my first reaction watching this beautiful looking film. Everything is drawn with such love, such color, such design. I actually feel like I'm in some fantasy world, with Maleficient appearing alive on the screen... just breath taking, beautiful, animation. 4. Characters https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...ibleFamily.jpg The Incredibles The Incredibles family is enough character-wise to beat out Sleeping Beauty, but then let's add on Edna Mode and Syndrome, and The Incredibles slams it out of the ballpark. This movie has some of the most brilliant and iconic characters in all of Pixar or animation. 5. Music/Sound https://static.musictoday.com/store/...600/XVLP13.jpg Sleeping Beauty Tchaikovsky used to be my favorite composer of all time, and I still love him. Disney uses him to perfection here, to an unfair level. Giacchino's score for The Incredibles is actually one of my favorites, but that cannot beat out Disney's use of Tchaikovsky. Totally on par. 6. Themes/Values https://i1.wp.com/moviepilot.blog/wp...00%2C407&ssl=1 The Incredibles The Incredibles is all about not being afraid to show your talent. It's a message that reappears in Ratatouille and other animated films, but it's demonstrated to perfection here. We are totally immersed in the situation and world of the themes of the Incredibles. 7. Structure/Pacing http://reelhoney.com/wp-content/uplo...es-759x500.jpg The Incredibles The Incredibles is really long for an animated film, but it pays off. It is a grand spectacle structure-wise, and we get a huge story with huge climaxes. The pacing is on par, and character development is given space to breathe. Great structure. The Incredibles - 5 Sleeping Beauty - 2 Winner: #3 The Incredibles Too bad... I did love Sleeping Beauty, much more than I thought. The Incredibles is just too good. |
#4 Grave of the Fireflies vs. #13 The Simpsons Movie
How about this match up?:D 1. Originality https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/...width-down/800 Grave of the Fireflies This is one of the most original animated movies out there. It covers the slow descent of two Japanese children from well off to starving... not the happiest content, but it sure is original! 2. Script/Screenplay https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...nal_poster.png The Simpsons Movie The script of The Simpsons Movie is everything you would expect from the Simpsons. Fast, fun, witty, packed with references and jokes. The script is always the crown jewel of Simpsons episodes, and it didn't disappoint with the movie either. 3. Animation https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/660/cp...64200130_o.jpg Grave of the Fireflies I wasn't a huge fan of either of these films' animation, but the Grave of the Fireflies had some beautiful moments, so I went with that. A lot of the color schemes and designs were just brilliant and soulful as well. 4. Characters https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/...20110501184426 The Simpsons Movie It's hard to imagine more fun, vibrant, and well mapped out characters than in the Simpsons Movies. Grave of the Fireflies, when I think about it, really has not very interesting characters, which really hurts it quite a bit. The Simpsons Movie, on the other hand, even has developed characters such as Homer, and this pays off for great character arcs and personalities. 5. Music/Sound https://i.ytimg.com/vi/38p2v1aRb6o/hqdefault.jpg Grave of the Fireflies The soundtrack to Grave of the Fireflies is beautiful, and I'm wishing it were more easily accessible. There are chilling atonal passages, beautiful Baroque style chords and melodies, and gorgeous instrumentation. Well done. 6. Themes/Values https://cinephilefix.files.wordpress.com/2014/01/a.png Grave of the Fireflies There are moments in Grave of the Fireflies where the characters seem to turn and look at us, look into our soul, asking who we are and why we are and why this has to be. For instance, right after the kids leave, the aunt turns for a second, looking right at the camera. It is an expression of almost satisfaction, almost guilt... something unexplainable, like she knows exactly how this movie would turn out. It is that wordless expression that lies at the core of theme of this movie. It is certainly up to interpretation, but for me it is somewhat about the relationship between the needy and the greedy... or perhaps the difference. The Simpsons Movies is a wild blast, but doesn't measure up to Grave of the Fireflies for themes. 7. Structure/Pacing http://cdn.collider.com/uploads/imag..._image__3_.jpg The Simpsons Movie I have a lot of problems with the structure of Grave of the Fireflies, I think it could have been done much more effectively. The Simpsons Movies has a fairly basic structure but it works and checks all the boxes for a fun and acceptable movie. So, nothing special from either side, but I'd give it to the Simpsons Movie. Grave of the Fireflies - 4 The Simpson Movie - 3 Winner: #4 Grave of the Fireflies |

#5 Fantastic Mr. Fox vs. #12 Ghost in the Shell
1. Originality https://amp.businessinsider.com/imag...57-750-375.jpg Ghost in the Shell Although I wasn't a fan of Ghost in the Shell, it had a pretty cool and original concept. Fantastic Mr. Fox is about some foxes who thwart some farmers... which is of course great in Wes Anderson's hands but it's overall idea gets beaten out by Ghost in the Shell. 2. Script/Screenplay https://iv1.lisimg.com/image/1301766...%29-poster.jpg Fantastic Mr. Fox Not even close. Ghost in the Shell has a pretty abysmal script, and Fantastic Mr. Fox has a pretty *cussing* amazing script. All of the characters just have great dialogue scenes, hilarious jokes, everything witty and so Wes Anderson. I love it. 3. Animation https://imagesvc.meredithcorp.io/v3/...&poi=face&q=85 Fantastic Mr. Fox I wasn't a huge fan of the way either of these were animated, but I liked Fantastic Mr. Fox a bit more. Once you got used to the weird the way the animals looked, spoke, and talked, it kind of seemed natural. Ghost in the Shell's murky colors just began to bore me by the end. 4. Characters https://kageblogs.files.wordpress.co...wallpaper2.jpg Fantastic Mr. Fox You know you've made some pretty darn great characters when all of them are foxes and look basically the same, but they just ooze personality traits and character ideas. By the end, we see each fox, which looks very similar, and they all have these brilliant, original, and amazing characters. There are several entire character arcs in this film too. 5. Music/Sound https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon....TL._SX355_.jpg Fantastic Mr. Fox I was totally blown away by the soundtrack to this movie... Not only is Desplat's score on par with the quirkiness of an Anderson film, but we get some nice Beach Boys and other tunes used to absolute perfection. ... did Ghost in the Shell even have a score? 6. Themes/Values https://blogs.libraries.indiana.edu/...1-1024x512.jpg Fantastic Mr. Fox Yes, it's a fast and fun adventure crime film, but it has some deep meanings going for it. Fantastic Mr. Fox portrays our main characters as someone fighting with himself over being a family man and being who he wants to be. This is portrayed beautifully in the scene with the wolf near the end. We are left with several possible meanings, but I suspect it has something to do with the not-so-fine line between civilized and brute. That also ties into Ash's role in Fox's development. 7. Structure/Pacing https://bluntproductions.files.wordp.../05/mr-fox.jpg Fantastic Mr. Fox Structurally, neither of these movies are super great. But Fantastic Mr. Fox won because I hated the pacing and structure of Ghost in the Shell. For me, it had a weak intro and conclusion and a semi interesting middle section. But that end really killed it for me. It was trying to be all thematic and philosophical and ended up falling apart. Fantastic Mr. Fox is your average film structurally, but it works and I liked it. Fantastic Mr. Fox - 6 Ghost in the Shell - 1 Winner: #5 Fantastic Mr. Fox |
#6 Mary and Max vs. #11 How the Grinch Stole Christmas
1. Originality https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/...0,1200_AL_.jpg Mary and Max I had never even heard of Mary and Max before I decided to do this challenge, and by the first fifteen minutes the first thing I knew was going to win over the Grinch was originality. The animation style, the dark humor, the narration, everything combines to form this incredibly original and moving film. 2. Script/Screenplay https://studybreaks.com/wp-content/u...019/06/Max.jpg Mary and Max Neither of these films has great screenplays, but Mary and Max has brilliantly written letters between the two which are enough to make me give it to Mary and Max. Some of Max's letters, thoughts, and writings are so powerful and moving as well. 3. Animation https://d1xfgk3mh635yx.cloudfront.ne...?itok=J7XhSu9- Mary and Max The animation of this clay-motion film is fantastic and very detailed. Right from the get-go, we get close up shots of everyday objects, beautifully crafted. Every character is shaped un-realistically, but it works fine. This movie also uses colors very carefully and cleverly. 4. Characters https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/...77,268_AL_.jpg Mary and Max Mary and Max are two of the most realistic, convincing characters in animated film. They both have problems and struggles, and they both know that they are imperfect. Though they make mistakes, I can't help but cheer them on and hope they will finally someday achieve their goals. The interesting thing is, the movie leaves it up to us whether Mary or Max really finds what they want out of life. That ambiguity is what makes their characters so great. 5. Music/Sound https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon....NL._SX355_.jpg Mary and Max An odd film should have an suitably odd soundtrack, and Mary and Max's music is perfect. We get filler theme music and then a mix of classics like Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet and Handel's Zadok the Priest. Que Sera Sera makes an appearance too, in a suitably bittersweet scene. 6. Themes/Values https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/...77,268_AL_.jpg How the Grinch Stole Christmas However complex and meaningful Mary and Max may be, I found myself drawn to the simple and effective themes of How the Grinch Stole Christmas more. There is a great character transition, although not a very good development, and the clear message of hope, love, and forgiveness that just makes me feel like my heart is growing three times bigger. 7. Structure/Pacing https://i.pinimg.com/736x/76/d9/f4/7...-structure.jpg Mary and Max The structure of Mary and Max is thin, but the subject matter suits it. It is simple. Two life stories are told simultaneously. They interwine and cross at times, but never truly meet. This slice of life kind of thing is paced and structured to perfection, and I loved it. Mary and Max - 6 How the Grinch Stole Christmas - 1 Winner: #6 Mary and Max |
#7 Wreck-it Ralph vs. #10 Kiki's Delivery Service
1. Originality https://s3.amazonaws.com/thumbnails....rt_upscale.jpg Wreck-it Ralph Everything about this movie is just amazingly original. The way the video games are connected, how the characters view the outside world, the back stories of all the characters, the video games themselves. I could go on and on about how stunningly original it was. 2. Script/Screenplay https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/GLIAA...Bqx/s-l300.jpg Wreck-it Ralph Neither of these two movies had excellent scripts, but Wreck-it Ralph's was clearly a bit better. There were some funny moments, great dialogue scenes, and overall good chemistry between the actors and characters, facilitated by the interesting conversations they had. 3. Animation https://i.ytimg.com/vi/tBkUbzjbDb8/maxresdefault.jpg Wreck-it Ralph Disney ramped it up with animation around this time, and you can see it in this film. With the beautiful landscapes of Sugar Rush to the dark and ominous world of Hero's Duty to Ralph and the other characters themselves, Wreck-it Ralph is colorfully and beautifully animated. 4. Characters http://animatedviews.com/wp-content/...11/kiblu03.jpg Kiki's Delivery Service While Ralph is probably my favorite character out of both movies, he is unfortunately cancelled out by the annoying Vanellope, who's stupid "duty" and "stinkbrain" jokes had me rolling my eyes. Kiki, her cat Jiji, and all the cool people she meets in her journey, are fun, colorful, characters who I think have great developments and arcs. 5. Music/Sound https://musescore.com/static/musesco...che=1531731622 Kiki's Delivery Service With bright, catchy, melodies and good orchestration, Kiki's Delivery Service has a fantastic score. I loved the themes and the uses of real music inside the movie, such as when Kiki is flying. It adds a nice touch. 6. Themes/Values https://i2.wp.com/www.tor.com/wp-con...&type=vertical Kiki's Delivery Service This movie is all about growth, being able to accept who you are, and building upon it. There's not many lessons more important than that, especially for young viewers. This strongly presented yet effective theme hit me very powerfully, no matter how cliche it might be. 7. Structure/Pacing https://www.popoptiq.com/wp-content/...4/10/kiki1.jpg Kiki's Delivery Service It has a rather odd structure, although not for Miyazaki. But Kiki's Delivery Service sets out with a clear goal, and it achieves it with patience in it's pacing and structure. Kiki's journey is shown methodically and artistically, and I really enjoyed that. Kiki's Delivery Service - 4 Wreck-it Ralph - 3 Winner: #10 Kiki's Delivery Service This was my first upset and probably the toughest match yet - I loved both these movies a lot! |
#8 Akira vs. #9 Coraline
1. Originality https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped..._poster%29.jpg Akira Both these films are incredibly original, but I'd give originality to Akira because it takes what may be an overused concept (although it wasn't at the time) and changes it into a mind-boggling experience. We get weird and disturbing sequences with Tetsuo, especially near the end, that are just more original and fascinating than the button eyes in Coraline. 2. Script/Screenplay https://www.pdffiller.com/preview/16/201/16201645.png Coraline Neither of these films excelled with screenplay, but Coraline clearly did it stronger. Akira is entirely plot based, with little substance screenplay wise. Coraline, however, has some interesting moments of dialogue, especially with the cat and Coraline's other mother. 3. Animation https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/...width-down/800 Akira I was a fan of both animation styles, but the color and brilliance of Akira stood out more. Especially the city of Neo-Tokyo, set in 2019 (it was so cool to watch it from a modern day perspective) was fantastically animated. As I said, the creative ending sequences were also beautifully animated. 4. Characters https://i.pinimg.com/originals/00/eb...d4f2b5176d.jpg Coraline There were so many wacky and odd characters in Coraline that I had to give it to this movie. Not only is Coraline herself a strong and likable main character, we get plenty of cool and deep characters like all (4!) of her parents, her friend, and her neighbors. We get two version of each as well, which is fun! 5. Music/Sound https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Oi9gtzslraI/maxresdefault.jpg Coraline I frankly didn't like the music of either of these movies. I gave it to Coraline because I could at least remember some of the themes. I also think the music of Coraline set up some great atmospherical moments, especially in the quiet sequences. 6. Themes/Values http://kanedaaa.weebly.com/uploads/2...jpg?1399937940 Akira I won't claim that I know what the hell Akira really is about, but I will say it sure made me think. Was it social commentary, prediction for the future, a scientific exploration, maybe all three? Either way, the themes of these movies are clearly deep and complex, and I hope to explore them more on a second watch. 7. Structure/Pacing https://addc401fall2018.files.wordpr...pg?w=488&h=262 Akira Both of these films had similar structures, but I liked the pacing in Akira more. It seemed like in the earlier sequences it took more time, and then gradually let us in on what was going on. It was masterfully paced, and then came to a thrilling climax that basically left me with even more questions... and I'm happy when a movie does that, as long as it does it well, which Akira did! Akira - 4 Coraline - 3 Winner: #8 Akira I'm now 1/4 of the way through the round of 64. |
@ahwell, I can't comment much about these last few matches because I haven't seen both movies in most of them.
The only match where I've seen both movies is #6 Mary and Max vs. #11 How the Grinch Stole Christmas, but it's been a while since I saw Mary and Max, and I don't remember much about it. But if I remember correctly, I think @Miss Vicky loves Mary and Max. |
#1 Up vs. #16 The Plague Dogs
1. Originality http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4RKNUuVV_4...tive+Dream.jpg The Plague Dogs Both of these movies are incredibly original, but I gave it to the Plague Dogs even though it was already based on a book. Even the movie takes its liberties and creates a visual and emotional atmosphere rarely seen in animation. The imagined sequences with the "master," the ambiguous ending, the way humans are shown... it all amounts to highly original filmmaking. 2. Script/Screenplay https://ecdn.teacherspayteachers.com...l-561656-3.jpg Up Up has an incredibly good script, which says a lot for a visual-based film, which I think Up is. There are funny scenes with Carl, Ellie, the dogs, and others. Although many jokes don't work, the script is fun and enjoyable. 3. Animation https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/...yMTE@._V1_.jpg Up The animation in Up is stunning. From the beautifully colored balloons to animals like Kevin and Dug, every detail is carefully crafted, like anything you'd expect from Pixar. The Plague Dogs was well animated, but nothing more and nothing less. 4. Characters https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ac/58...82f248672d.png Up You can always expect fantastic characters from Pixar, and they don't let you down with Up. Not only is Carl a great character with issues, problems, and an eventual resolution, but the supporting cast is everything to expect and more. While the dogs can be annoying, they still are incomparable with the nice but boring characters of the Plague Dogs. 5. Music/Sound https://i.scdn.co/image/6ffcf6dda25a...6adfba781afcf7 Up Michael Giacchino has always been my favorite Pixar composer, and Up was what really brought him to international glory. It's not hard to see why. The wistful theme that carries the famous (or perhaps infamous) "Married Life" sequence is all Giacchino, and the emotional support for the rest of the movie is his music. 6. Themes/Values https://thedreamofpixar.files.wordpr..._image_01.jpeg Up To move on and accept loss is a tough thing to do. Pixar is telling us in Up that that's okay, it's tough for everyone... but there's so much more adventure in the world out there, so go out and explore it. It's a touching and relatable theme that beats out the tragic Plague Dogs pretty cleanly. 7. Structure/Pacing https://i.ytimg.com/vi/H75St-0wUYg/maxresdefault.jpg Up Up has a really good structure and pacing as well. I could have given it to this movie for the opening sequence alone, but the rest works just fine as well. From the character developments to the climax to the resolution, everything structurally in Up is well balanced. Up - 6 The Plague Dogs - 1 Winner: #1 Up |
