(DBWI) Do you guys like Don Bluth's Alexei?
- Thread starter Garrett_Cartoonist
- Start date
Well, a movie about the Russian Restoration does lend itself to a dark storyline
I mean, that part where Alexei has a nightmare about bleeding out over his family's mass grave gave ME nightmares for a while. And that kid doing his voice, his screams are blood-curdling
You do. The nightmare sequence is trippy and super creepy TBH, so watch out for that one. Also, am I the only one who was really freaked out about Rasputin's death scene?
"In the darkness of night, I will fight you! To protect what I have swore to save! With my heavenly fire, and the angel's might, no matter what it will cost me!" Crowning Moment of Awrsome, Tear Jerker and Nightmare Fuel all together with Awesome Music.
Well, yes, but he died to protext Alexei. Such an improvement over what he was like IRL
Well, yes, duh. It is a masterwork, a perfect film, but Alexei is my personal favorite.
No, don't get me wrong, Alexei itself was a fine film, it just hogs the limelight a bit.
I did like Judi Barsi's performance in Titan. She came into adult voice work real well
Don't you remember his ''Bluth of July'' review series? He loved that one, along with most of Don's work from the 90s.
Only because Fox distributed the thing. the only other time those two worked together was on the Digimon and later Yu-Gi-Oh dubs. I think it's that sort of thing that lead to Bluth Studios distributing Dreamworks' movies from 2001 on.
Considering that she kinda owes Bluth her life, what with one of their animators following her home that night her father was arrested, I don't blame her for sticking around. Don Bluth became the father she'd always wanted. Who was that heroic penciler's name again? He deserves a medal.
Basically, the part where Tatiana nearly sacrificed herself for Alexi. Or any of the scenes with the two just bonding. It's very cute and lighthearted compared to most of the movie and the two share such a great relationship throughout the movie. No wonder there's so much fanart of them together.

Yeah. Sometimes I forget she wasn't cut from the film. Not that that's bad, I like her scenes
Which created the "2D for kids, 3D for grownups" dynamic we have now. Don't get me wrong, I love DreamWorks, but a lot of the butterflies of the partnership are annoying
Sorry, I meant Tatiana. Still, your point stands and you knew what I meant so, props. In a way, I think it's safe to say that having Anastasia killed off and not having her be in the finished product was for the film's benefit in the long run.
Well, it's not their fault that Bluth demanded that Shrek be as edgy as the original cut of Toy Story. And besides, It worked out in the end with Neighbours from Hell and Sausage Party. Even then, Bluth got Prince of Egypt, Spirit, Sinbad and El Dorado from that animator exchange. those artists pretty much defined Bluth's movies' style from that point on.

Tatiana and Aunt Olga have a sweet dynamic with Alexei. As well as the Prince John of the UK.
Speaking of Judith Barsi, isn't she doing voices for Steven Universe nowadays?
