>Live action movie with only 15 minutes of total animation
>The animation is so iconic it overshadows the rest of the film in people’s minds
Any other cases like this?

>>149693868 (OP)

Kangaroo Jack, but that's kind of because the trailers tricked people.

And it spawned one of the most iconic cartoon characters (and theme songs) ever made

But movie itself was bad\okay-ish

The Star Wars Holiday Special maybe? It's a well known god-awful piece of shit, but was watched by millions and the only entertaining part of it was the cartoon that introduced Boba Fett and made him cool before he even appeared in a movie. It basically laid the groundwork for everything to do with Mandalorians up to the present day.

It does? When did that happen?

this

Vertigo. Nobody cares about the movie itself

>>149694423
Pretty much ever since the movie came out, I was originally introduced to it myself because of someone completely sperging out about the animation in Goodbye Blue Sky and The Trial.

>>149693868 (OP)
Does the cartoon segment in Stay Tuned count?

I've never seen it and I literally didn't know it had live action. The animation is the only thing I've seen pics of.

>>149693868 (OP)
To be fair the animation is really really fucking good while the actual subject matter of the movie is just kind of meh with some 70s shock stuff thrown in.

Came here to post this.

But also, Xanadu

The Congress and Monkeybone.

>>149697283
Congress feels like it has a good amount of animation relative to the rest of the movie.

>>149696267
People don’t even remember this movie in general anymore

>>149697283
and maybe Son of the Mask

>>149694328
This is the definition of "overanimated"

>>149696267
To be fair, the live action stuff with the kids is boring as hell. Uncle Remus is the only redeeming part outside of the animation.

>>149699237
That is because it has not been legal available to view in the USA since the 80s and never had a home release there
So outside the song (because of being on those vhs sing alone videos) the animated segments (from Splash Mountain and again vhs clip films) are the only thing people are actually aware of

>That is because it has not been legal available to view in the USA since the 80s and never had a home release there
That's not entirely true, they reran it in the 90s on Disney Channel with some minor censorship. I was born in 1993 and have clear memories of watching it with my dad.

>>149694112
I serioisly kept wondering when the fuck the Kangaroo was actually going to start talking, and then it only showed up for a few seconds.

>>149699280
I like it.

>>149699919
You would.
>I like it to

>>149694081
Thanks Word Girl.

>>149699755
I'm so glad I never saw it in theaters as a kid. The marketing worked but my parents didn't want to go to the movies at that time and by the time we could go it had stopped screening. Dodged a bullet there.

>>149699286
I can't believe they wouldn't let him see his own fucking movie on opening night.
The movie featuring the aftermath of slavery, and they were still bitchy about it.
He had to be snuck in like a fucking flask.

Anyone who thinks a company gives a shit about them is far too naive and trusting, makes Disney's current diversity act even more laughable.

>>149699755
I like how that movie is like a generational touchstone of disappointment.

Lawnmower Man

>all of those classic movies and tv shows where only the opening or closing credits are animated, and sometimes also the cover art or poster is illustrated in the cartoon style

This always felt like the biggest cock tease as a kid.

>>149696267
>subject matter so controversial the jannies delete it on sight

>>149696267
It feels like there was this minor sub genre in this time period, of mixed 2d animation and live action films where the animation was sometimes almost treated like a special effect rather than a whole separate sequence. Song of the South, Bedknobs a Broomsticks, The Incredible Mr Limpet, Pete’s Dragon, etc. Often it was employed so that a particular cartoon character could interact with the live action cast. It’s actually not that dissimilar to current “live action” movies with CG characters, like Sonic.

And with most of these old movies, the cartoon part is the more memorable. The ONE major exception is Mary Poppins. That had mixed animation sequences, but amazingly the live action characters and scenes were so good that they managed to not get overshadowed by the animation.

Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows!

>>149700290
They were genuinely experimenting to see if they could use animation to cut back on the cost of particularly expensive effects at the time. It's basically a proto-CG mindset like you're describing, but it didn't last because the special effects industry started to get REALLY good after a while.

>>149696267
It's only controversial to people who have never seen it. The whole movie is nothing but whites and blacks getting along and respecting each other. The blacks aren't subservient to the whites and there's nothing to suggest that the white family owned slaves, let alone that the black characters are their former slaves.

>ummmm it painted an overly-positive and simplified portrayal of the south post slavery?? that's kiiinda problematic????
Literally every children's movie portrays the time period in which it takes place as less dark and fucked up than it really was. Nobody complains about the lack of child brides in Aladdin or human sacrifice in The Emperor's New Groove, because doing so would be retarded.

Still can't get over how it looks like they drew like 10 different faces for her and just plopped them all onto her at random every frame.

>>149700290
Don’t forget this one:

I watched that entire movie and if anything that dance segment is like a fever dream inserted mid film for no other reason than to flex. I don’t like the term, but that is the sort of thing Nostalgia Critic was talking about when he tried to coin “big lipped aligator moment.”

>>149694142
As a kid I was always disappointed the whole movie wasn't a cartoon about a pink panther. As an adult I'm still disappointed, but I can appreciate Peter Sellers, and that helps.

>>149706451
Its more he didnt really understand what the fuck he was talking about. There's plenty to critique, the symbolism is a sledgehammer and it relies a lot on near disconnected vignettes that more or less are jusr music videos and if the vibes weren't on point it be near incoherent.
Its just his criticisms were bad and near nonsense.

>>149706930
And also the weird CG sparkledogs were there.

This poster creeps me out...
