Titan AE (2000) Review
January 26th 2011 18:50
I'm a huge fan of animated movies, and one of the often neglected masters of animation is Don Bluth. With “All dogs go to heaven”, “An American Tale” and “The secret of Nihm” The number of animated classics on his resume is impressive to say the least. Sadly, we live in a day and
age when animated films are generally vehicles to sell stuffed toys and amusement park tickets. While I got no problem with Disney, Don Bluth's work has always seemed a little more . . .genuine and endearing to me when compared to the biggest Disney blockbusters. He seems a man who's there to created something beautiful, edgy, and thought provoking while Disney's work often seems uninspired and formulaic.
In 2000 Don Bluth got his hot hands on a script for a science fiction film that had been tossed around to several directors and studios for years, one for a more “Adult” animated film that featured a science fiction premise that rivaled Star Wars or Dune in terms of depth and imagination. Long being a proponent that animation isn't just for kids, Don Bluth took the reins and gave us “Titan AE” one of my personal favorite animated films.
Titan AE begins on . . .shall we say, a low note. In the first five minutes of the film, the planet Earth is blown to pieces by an alien race known as “the Dredge” beings a pure energy that for one reason or another feel greatly threatened by mankind's continued existence. A young Cale is rescued by his father, sent on a ship escaping the planet but left with a mark on his left hand that will one day direct him to his father's life work, a mysterious and powerful ship that was the reason the Dredge got all up in our grill in the first place. Years later Cale is rescued by pirate captain Keslo, who promises him a way to find his lost birthright, the Titan, and with it a way to save what's left of the human race
