areaseven Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 A French animator came up with this Pixar-style homage to the 1991 Disney film The Rocketeer. The Rocketeer 20th Anniversary Quote
reddsun1 Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 Ah yes. I remember The Rocketeer. Critics were pretty hard on that one. True, it was pretty bad--actors all pretty much mailed-in their performances. But it was okay for what it was, i.e. a kid-safe family movie, a send-up on the old action serials from the 40's-50's. Jennifer Connelly provided some nice eye candy too--back before she got all thin and sickly lookin'. Quote
EXO Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 Movie wasn't the greatest. Designs were awesome though, they even improved on the rocket design from the comic book. Met Dave Stevens about 15 years ago thru a friend. Great guy and a perfectionist. Too much of a perfectionist that he couldn't do more of the books. But each panel of the Rocketeer comic book was as good as the cover. I wish the movie was more of a hit for him. I want a reboot! lol. No seriously I do. More like the comic book, where they use Betty Page as Cliff's girlfriend and not a watered down goody goody version. But it was a disney film... even though Roger Rabbit was a lot more risque... Soundtrack was awesome! And yes Jennifer Connelly was at the top of her hotness. Quote
