Happy 50th Anniversary to PANDA KOPANDA (aka Panda! Go, Panda!) from Isao Takahata & Hayao Miyazaki! Along with the sequel THE RAINY-DAY CIRCUS, two of the most adorable anime short films ever made.
Happy 20th Anniversary to TREASURE PLANET! One of my favorite Disney animated films of all time, and a great example of adapting a classic book, making a lot of changes, but retaining the heart of the story.
VHS Swap today in South Pasadena! 3-6pm at @hotboxvintage, followed by double feature screening from @VIDTHEQUE! Come buy & sell tapes, and hang out with fellow physical media lovers! #Tapeheads
@DEADLINE @mavericksmovies You forgot to mention that PAPRIKA was previously adapted into an anime film by Satoshi Kon!
RIP Raymond Briggs. What an incredible artist & storyteller, who created such incredible worlds with subtlety & poignancy. And how wonderful that many of his works were adapted into equally beautiful films. Thank you Raymond.
TURNING RED is fantastic! So much fun, heart & early 2000s nostalgia. Makes for a great double feature with last year’s LUCA! Go see it in theaters… oh wait… go watch it on Disney+! #TurningRed
Happy 50th Anniversary to Jan Troell’s THE NEW LAND! Together with THE EMIGRANTS, this Oscar-nominated epic saga of Swedish immigrants moving to 19th century Minnesota is deeply moving & unforgettable, all 6 hours of it. Available from @Criterion!
