He was sketching page after page of awesome robots! (No VINCENT eyes in those sketches, I assure you.) He didn't tell me why he was drawing them, but I found the answer when I later saw "The Black Hole."olddisneylandfannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157943953608089697.post-7387952380020076292010-09-02T09:23:27.454-07:002010-09-02T09:23:27.454-07:00Oh yeah, @Nametags.

The low point, visually, are the robots.<br /><br />In fairness, theatrical robots are hard to do: in a few years, it becomes obvious just what inspired them (Robby the Robot is a Jukebox with legs: Lost in Space is an early 60's Riviera, Max here is a psycho Trans Am).<br /><br />Where the art direction touches bottom are the VINCENT eyes. Muppets have more believable eyes. VINCENT's are dead schematic dots that can only show where the robot is looking. No acting is possible, no emotional presence. <br /><br />How so many talented people saw this and did nothing is a monument to a messed up corporate culture.Katella Gatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05562521359201308834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157943953608089697.post-59624548661551188382010-09-02T08:32:57.127-07:002010-09-02T08:32:57.127-07:00Whoa, awesome post!

I caught part of TBH on TV a while ago, and some of the sets were so incredibly cheap looking it was hilarious.<br /><br />I recall that the effect for the black hole (with the swirl of stars moving around it) was pretty cool, and early use of CGI I believe.Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157943953608089697.post-73984326611132154402010-09-02T01:06:34.454-07:002010-09-02T01:06:34.454-07:00I remember back in 1980 my family rented the VHS o...I remember back in 1980 my family rented the VHS of this film. As a 5-year old obsessed with Star Wars, this was a natural fit. It was this film, along with Tron in 1982, and WarGames in 1983, that started my love for computers and technology.<br /><br />May the Great Bird of the Galaxy bless your planet for posting this!Disney Nametags and Morehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13092196466307054880noreply@blogger.com
