I upset a lot of Nick Wilde-Judy Hopps shippers today. I underestimated how many people want these two mammals to start dating.

#Zootopia2 continues the creative world-building and fun animal jokes of the first film, along with a worthwhile message about not hating someone just because they're different. Also appreciated that Nick and Judy's relationship remains platonic.

'Sleeping Beauty' flopped in 1959, leading to cutbacks of the animation department in favor of theme parks, to make animation production faster/cheaper. Much of the women were the Ink & Department, yes, but getting rid of women were not why the cuts were made.
Please stop spreading misinfo, thanks.

the reason 101 dalmations looks like that is because disney incorporated xerography (ie early photocopying technology) into the animation process. rough pencils (by mostly male animators) were copied onto the cels so that disney could fire the (mostly female) inkers. remember that art can lie to you

A lot of people celebrating "Toy Story" and its impact today and one thing I will never forget about seeing the movie on original release is the opening logo. Seeing the familiar Disney castle rendered like this blew me away.

Crazy that A24 went through the trouble of picking up Ne Zha 2 and producing a dub only to not bother submitting it for Best Animated Feature.
I think Ketchup made a mistake giving Day the Earth Blew Up a qualifying run last year. Had a better shot this year.

Against my better judgment, I watched a certain comedian's recent video on Tim Burton's "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory"...only to get annoyed at him frequently calling it a remake and not judging it as an adaptation of the book or on its own merits.

I disagree with the people jumping off the Edgar Wright train. I think he has only made really neat movies, so I'm staying onboard.

#WickedForGood successfully concludes the story of Elphaba and Glinda with even more pointed commentary about propaganda, ostracization and the danger of listening to those with devious purposes. Loved the connections to "The Wizard of Oz", too, making this an entertaining spin on that world.

I don't know which company I would want to buy Warner Bros, but I would rather it not be one that already owns a major legacy studio or one uninterested in the theatrical business.
Maybe an electronics company akin to when Sony bought Columbia Pictures.

Caught up with "Wednesday" Season 2, which has more scenes with the other Addams, funnier jokes and less teenage drama, but there were also a few too many superfluous subplots and the strained Wednesday-Morticia relationship is getting old.

At the end of the day, Generative A.I. is nothing more than a plagiarism machine. It will never birth the next Dr. Seuss, Jim Henson, David Lynch or any other artist known for their unique and creative imagination and storytelling.
