There’s just something about 8-bit art that is undeniably awesome. Maybe it’s the nostalgia. Some of our best childhood memories were made with old 8-bit art games, like Castlevania, Legend of Zelda, Dragon Quest, and Final Fantasy. The invention of the NES in the 1980s and all of its subsequent 8-bit games were revolutionary for gamers everywhere. Some of us got our start in those old 8-bit games, and we still have a very fond place in our hearts for them.
Well, one Youtube channel, CineFix, decided to put two great things together to make an awesome thing. They took favorite films, like Star Wars, Spirited Away, Donnie Darko, and others – and turned them into 8-bit art! It’s a winning combination. The videos even have retro versions of the films’ themes. Check them out for a huge dose of nostalgia:
Star Wars
Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
Kill Bill
A Christmas Story
Frozen
Spirited Away
Army of Darkness
Sin City
Finding Nemo
Godzilla
Forrest Gump
Mad Max: Fury Road
Donnie Darko
Pan’s Labyrinth
