00:10:19: JESUS. Coco was watching a moth flutter outside the backdoor, purring and leisurely pawing at the glass, then I heard his hard SWAT, and then Coco growling. A possum had appeared right on the other side, smacked the moth against the glass, and ate it. Coco screamed at it for eating her friend and then ran away D:
Something-or-other Mister Christie. They screened a clip for us at the award ceremony, and it was some rough head silhouettes against morphing backgrounds speaking to each other in non-sequiturs. Apparently, it does this for the entire length of a feature film. *shakes head*
Ah, I loved the slice-of-life feeling the movie had, and the animation kept me enthralled through the whole thing. I wouldn't call it a satisfying movie exactly, since it left me feeling all sadface and waaah Tati's been leeched of his inner magic boo world. But I liked his character enough to carry the whole film, and I've always been more drawn to characters than story anyway ^_^;;
It did feel like too much was attempting to be crammed into the space of time they had, but I don't really look to the OP movies for exemplary moviemaking, so to me it felt pretty par for the course? I'm not generally enamored of the One Piece movies (Movie 6 excepted--that's still the best as far as I'm concerned) since they're mostly fanservice vehicles with nicer animation than the TV series gets, so I didn't expect much to be different with Strong World. What I liked about it was the whole hearken-back-to-Nami's-backstory thing (even though I had to explain to my whole group that no, Luffy and Nami aren't involved, it's just that he's already been all up on her to trust them to help her so he was all offended when he thought she didn't, but she DID gah canon significance!), and the BAMFy Kill Bill strut-into-enemy-base-and-tear-shit-up stuff. Also the perfectly (perrrfectly) timed fart gags XD
