Connections, in both directions
The Crimson Pirate (1952)
Directed by Robert Siodmak
influenced The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists! (2012)
Characters
But give me Errol Flynn as “Captain Blood,” Burt Lancaster as “The Crimson Pirate,” or more recently the listing port-to-starboard Johnny Depp in any of the “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies, and I’m ready to grab a tankard of hot buttered rum and sing sea chanteys.
Coraline (2009)
Directed by Henry Selick
influenced The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists! (2012)
Visuals
It is warm, and tactile, and feels sort of like people filmed themselves playing with toys, and that fact alone gives the film a kind of sweetness and appeal that most contemporary animation is simply too slick to tap into, and even a stop-motion masterpiece such as 2009's Coraline misses out on, simply because it is too polished.
As in "Coraline," the use of 3D enhances the sculptural technique and lends itself well to dramatic lighting effects, but it never distracts, and the pic won't suffer a bit in 2D.
