Whoever conceived and animated this moment, I hope they're doing well and thriving. This is S-rank romance stuff here.
#what is this???#i need to know#im so invested
Oh, this? This is the 2000 masterpiece Titan A.E., the master animator Don Bluth's bold venture into the world of Science Fiction. Boasting script treatments by the increasingly-famous Joss Whedon and the voice talents of Matt Damon, Drew Barrymore, Bill Pullman, and Nathan Lane (among others), it was also one of the first ventures of a fresh new sub-studio at Fox called Blue Sky Studios!
It boasted a terrifying premise of a future where alien invaders not only overwhelmed, but physically destroyed the entire Planet Earth--dramatically depicted in a trailer that ran before every single screening of 1999's Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. Boldly fusing 2D animation with 3D ships, environments, aliens, and camerawork, it was a tremendous fresh step in the world of animated cinema. Creed's "Higher" was the theme song for the trailers and TV spots.
It made negative seventy million dollars at the box office, bankrupted Fox Animation, and killed animated films forever
This movie and Treasure Planet both deserved better
TREASURE PLANET WAS SABOTAGED
not to hijack this post with a deep dive and cultural analysis of this movie but...
The last film by Fox Animation renders sci-fi tropes with spectacular art

I will hunt you for sport if you put ANYTHING above Bambi and I'm not joking.
Fair enough! Did not mean to slander the movie you like. Even if it didn't click for me, I'm genuinely glad you can find this much beauty and worth in it. 👍
