Three topics!

universalme was handing out three topics on her journal, so I decided to take part. :)

Animation

I have loved the medium of animation since I was a child, and I've stayed fascinated with it well into adulthood. I grew up during the Disney Renaissance, which definitely had an effect on me. Mostly I like animation because it's a freeing medium--you can do just about anything you want, without having to worry if it's dangerous for the actors or anything like that. I would say hand-drawn animation is even more freeing, but unfortunately it's out of vogue for some reason in American film. More's the pity.

Hyperbole and a Half

HaaH is a webcomic-type thing by Allie Brosh that also spawned a book. They are both hilarious. You can check out the site here at this link. I don't have a lot to say about this.

Science Fiction

I like science fiction? Not... well. Certainly I like it soft, not hard (so Star Wars more than Star Trek). I like the potential of things like starships and time travel. I love Doctor Who. I feel like we need more science fiction in animation (I LOVE Treasure Planet and Atlantis from Disney, for example), especially sf that falls more on the side of drama than comedy. I don't know.

My brain isn't working right today. Sorry if these are a little spare.
