#Lapitch the Little Shoemaker

[lightening816]

So I’ve been posting on @vowcomic for nearly 5 years and every now and then, I’ll hear a voice that I think is PERFECT for one of my characters. I personally think that Terry Klassen’s performance as Dirty Rat in the English dub of Croatia’s Lapitch the Little Shoemaker is PERFECT for Meurig. Just the right kind of slimy and growling. Dirty Rat’s English singing is solid for Meurig too.

Anyways, go watch Lapitch the Little Shoemaker. The English dub is a little messy, but overall, it’s cute as heck!

My childhood movie tastes were fun. I had a few Disney movies I loved (most of them like 70s/80s "disney dark age" ones) but some of my earliest favorite movies were just random shit i probably got from the walmart budget bin.

Also throw in the infamously bad sequels to the Land Before Time which I watched religiously and can quote by heart.

Do you perhaps know the Croatian animated movie Lapitch the Little Shoemaker? I watched it recently and frankly I'm obsessed with the Dirty Rat song

Of course I do !!! We call him Hlapić, though (the same pronunciation, but with an H). It's based on one of Ivana Brlić-Mažuranić's children's stories :] she's a wonderful author, I always recommend her Croatian Tales of Long Ago, but Lapitch is such a classic. I'll have to be honest and say I haven't heard the songs in ages, but I remember Dirty Rat being very memorable - I still remember his gruff voice. But now you've reminded me, the animation was so charming, too, I miss those lil mice, I should rewatch it

[mice-rats-daily]

Today’s mouse is Lapitch from Lapitch the Little Shoemaker (1997)!

[vicholas]

I’m obsessed with this song from the English dub of a Croatian movie I can’t find anywhere online

I watched Lapitch the Little Shoemaker, something I only watched a snippet of as a kid, and boy is it a...bizarre movie.

When I compare Gadget from Chip n Dale Rescue Rangers and Lisa from Lapitch the Little Shoemaker, there is a curious resemblance.

They have the same hair and the same blue eyes.

This is why I made a drawing bringing Gadget and Lisa together.

By Ami Amidi

(Cartoon Brew) -- Makoto Shinkai’s feature Weathering with You has been selected as the official Japanese entry for the International Feature Film Award (previously Foreign Language Film) at the Oscars. The announcement was made today by the Japan Motion Picture Producers Association, which selected Shinkai’s film from a shortlist of 13 films.

Shinkai’s 2016 film, the critically-acclaimed Your Name, broke global box office records for a Japanese film ($360 million worldwide), but the film’s U.S. distributor didn’t have any experience with awards season politics and couldn’t get Academy voters excited about the project, resulting in no nomination for a film that many believed was a shoo-in in the feature animation category. A similar situation is unlikely to happen with Weathering with You, which is being distributed in the U.S. by GKIDS, which has scored 11 nominations in the animated feature category, including an Oscar nomination earlier this year for Mirai, the first non-Ghibli film to be nominated in the category.

With Japan now pushing the film in the International category, the film’s visibility will continue to increase in the lead-up to Oscar voting. It doesn’t hurt that Weathering with You is currently the highest-grossing film, animated or live action, at the Japanese box office this year.

Each country is allowed to submit only one film for the international category. The decision by Japan to enter Weathering with You in the international field has no effect on the film’s ability to also compete in the Academy’s animated feature category, should the film’s producers also choose to qualify it for the animation competition.

At least fifteen countries/territories have submitted animated features for foreign-language Oscar consideration in the past, but only one animated film has ever been nominated in the category: Israel’s Waltz with Bashir. Below is Cartoon Brew’s list of countries that have submitted an animation project as their foreign language choice:

1953: France, Johnny the Giant Killer 1975: Belgium, Tarzoon Shame of the Jungle 1982: Romania, Quo Vadis Homo Sapiens? 1986: Hungary, Cat City 1994: Japan, Pom Poko 1997: Croatia, Lapitch the Little Shoemaker 1997: Japan, Princess Mononoke 1999: Argentina, Manuelita 2002: Chile, Ogu and Mampato on Easter Island 2005: Luxembourg, Renart the Fox 2007: France, Persepolis 2008: Israel, Waltz with Bashir (nominated) 2011: Singapore, Tatsumi 2013: Uruguay, Anina 2014: Latvia, Rocks in My Pockets 2015: Palestinian territories, The Wanted 18 2016: Switzerland, My Life as a Zucchini
