That’s the frustrating thing. Given a proper budget and enough time to do his work, Bluth could do beautiful animation. Seriously breathtaking stuff. His stubbornness and weird beliefs left him to being unable to get budgets and reject creative input left and right.

Ever wonder why All Dogs Go To Heaven seems really disjointed, and the plot just seems jumbled? It’s because they ran out of money and basically had to cut together what they had finished and release it.

What weird beliefs did he have?

 

[Doctor Placebo]

Yeah but they looked cool

He made some great, unique stories too though, precisely because he was so daring. It was a double edged sword, but Bluth's classic movies wouldn't be so uniquely Bluth if it weren't for his attitudes. If you watch something like Land Before Time or Secret of Nimh, it has a very different vibe than something by Pixar or Dreamworks, or even the darker Disney movies.

It's fascinating because a lot of his stuff has that extra darkness and grit, but it never feels like it's trying in that "edgy" way that makes stuff like Robert's proposed reboots so cringy. It all feels completely natural and organic for the worlds he made.

In fact, it was when he tried to go lighter and softer that resulted in some of his worst stuff, like Rock-a-Doodle or A Troll in Central Park.

Bluth was hard to work with because it was either his way or the highway, and while he was an animation genius, working with scrips and recognizing truly great stories was not his forte.

That is why he had his best work when working with Spielberg producing, because if there is one thing Spielberg knows was how to pick strong scripts, more so for whimsical adventures with some dark turn that was Bluth's forte. But then, by Bluth's own admission, he broke the partnership with Spielberg due the growing influence he had on the movies (and also credit for sucess).

To this day Bluth laments breaking up with Spielberg. Truly a shame...

He also had the bad luck to be working at a time when American animation was thoroughly pigeonholed into the child entertainment ghetto. Back then, nobody took seriously the idea that cartoons could have adult themes and turn a profit. You had some oddball exceptions like Watership Down, The Plague Dogs, and most of Ralph Bakshi's output, but they all struggled too.

What was that one movie he did back in 2000 that flopped hard? I can’t remember what it was other than it had Matt Damon in it.

 

[instythot]

Since he’s reuploading his old Big Picture videos on his channel, here’s one where Bob lacks self awareness in 2011 as he does now in 2020.

A 3D remake of LBT could work with the designs of the characters, but expanding the story would be difficult since it was a 68-minute movie.

Geez, this is like watching a Razorfist video with slower cuts on the video accompaniment, no sense of energy and even more retarded commentary. Did their frenemy status start out because they were stepping on each other's toes so hard as far as format goes?

Titan A.E.

Which also had an amazing soundtrack.

Not sure since Razorfist probably never heard of Bob until in 2014 when Bob started to mock him. Razorfist ignored it until Bob started to run his mouth.

was a factor in his being fired by Disney and in the failure of most of his films theatrically.

I love the irony of that since Disney owns all the movies he made with Fox now.

Titan A.E. isn't a bad movie by any stretch, but the story is so thoroughly middle of the road and forgettable. In a way that might be worse than being bad. It also incorporated a lot of CGI that looked about as good as can be expected from the time, but obviously hasn't aged gracefully compared to his traditional animated stuff.

One thing became true about Titan A.E. though. One of the reviews deemed it "Better than Star Wars" and as of now that's a fact.

Bluth is a hardcore conservative Mormon and thinks that adult-oriented animation shouldn’t exist, yet insists on cramming scary and depressing shit into kids’ movies. He cut a finished sequence out of Titan A.E. Because it showed a character getting drunk when he was put in charge of the film creatively after Fox fired the original writers when Bluth pulled a power play.

Considering Bluth did animation for Xanadu and the Scissor Sisters song Mary, I think you might be over simplifying his thoughts on adult oriented animation a tad.

I didn't either so I had to look it up. I guess the joke is that some people think it's not that good?

Spoiler: From Wikipedia

The Eiger Sanction is a 1975 American action thriller film directed by and starring Clint Eastwood. Based on the 1972 novel The Eiger Sanction by Trevanian, the film is about an art history professor, mountain climber and former assassin once employed by a secret United States government agency who is blackmailed into returning to his deadly profession and do one more "sanction", a euphemism for killing. He agrees to join an international climbing team in Switzerland planning an ascent of the Eiger north face in order to complete a second sanction to avenge the murder of an old friend. The film was produced by Robert Daley for Eastwood's Malpaso Company, with Richard D. Zanuck and David Brown as executive producers, and co-starred George Kennedy, Vonetta McGee and Jack Cassidy.

Now the claws come out.

This only means something if you're pretty in the know with the Weeb Wars and Nick Rekieta. This guy is one of the kick Vic spergs who accused Nick of being sanctioned and then locked down his account after getting heat. I found it funny.

Something that I think is important to point out is that Robert isn't exactly saying don't come to my side. He's saying "you chose different from me and irrespective of the fact that you now believe you were wrong and want to make amends I want you to die in a mass grave with all the other traitors". He literally says "No forgiveness. Ever"

FFUUUAACKK'N Christ on a bike Robert. You're saying shit like this and yet you still wonder why you get bullied by your sempais.

Mean Girl is completely apt for Bob. Somehow more vicious than Regina but dumber than Karen

IIRC the feud kicked off by Bob doing a god-awful parody of a Razor video as "The anti-thinker". You'd think with such similar formats he would have gotten the parody right.

Robert never gets anything right. It’s part of his fundamental make-up.

I took the opportunity to look back at Bob’s Big Picture reuploads so far while cooking dinner (I guess I’m a glutton for pain) and it made me realize what it was that made his shit so recognizable. He’s never moved past 2010. Like the very beginning of the TGWTG look and feel was born in that era; losers with no charisma writing marginally competent scripts that they shout at their laptop from across the room because they use the built-in microphone and camera to record themselves. Even when he’s not doing a review, he structures it like a Linkara video. It’s one long stream of consciousness ramble with the bad takes removed and interstitial shots of the thing being reviewed. In the Big Picture that’s 70% clip art and stock photos saved back in 2012.
His rant about the Halo games being racist because the Covenant are diverse is an Ellis-style “looking too hard at a thing and ignoring the obvious” (maybe the enemies look different so you can tell at a glance what type they are since you need to use different strategies Bob) and his ramble about GI Joe makes me think of that one beard guy on TGWTG who reviewed arthouse shit where he swallowed too much of his Sociology 101 textbook and thinks he can lecture on philosophy and shit.
His ramble about GM foods is where you really see the smug get born; congratulations on winning an argument with silly people, Bob. You sure can read Wikipedia moderately well enough to be king of the short bus.
Above all though, him literally recycling shit from 2011 shows how the Bob was made. He ended up with two shows because he was the distant number two draw on one interchangeable video game nerd pap site and that was his post-Mario on the SNES peak. He’s not changed his structure or style at all since then because maybe on some level he understands that would be admitting those good times are nine fucking years ago.
