Reader's Digestの定番コーナーの一つMOVIE DIGESTの5月号にあった質問文です。
Q: Released in 1995, what is the title of the first-ever completely computer-generated feature-length film?
映画はほとんど見ないので質問の答えは全く見当がつきませんが、私の関心は "feature-length" の表現です。映画の長さについての形容でしょうが、どの程度の映画なのでしょうか？
・Oxford English Dictionary: Of the length of a typical feature film or program: a feature-length documentary: Then there is a feature-length documentary on Garland called Judy Garland: By Myself.
・Dictionary.com: long enough to be made a feature; of full length: a feature-length story; a feature-length film.
これだと "feature film" も確認した方が良さそうです。
・Oxford English Dictionary: A full-length film intended as the main item in a movie theater program.: The film took nearly five years to move from the first pages of a script to a full-length feature film.
これなら辞書よりも百科事典の方が詳しいはずと、Wikipediaを見ます。
・Wikipedia: A feature film is a film (also called a movie or motion picture) with a running time long enough to be considered the principal or sole film to fill a program. The notion of how long this should be has varied according to time and place. According to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, American Film Institute, and British Film Institute, a feature film runs for 40 minutes or longer, while the Screen Actors Guild states that it is 80 minutes or longer.
