The new Mutant Mayhem short looks pretty hilarious and I still love how fun these incarnations of the turtles are. If anything, it makes me curious to see them back in the sequel in a few years. Eager to see this short once it's out.

We watched Titanic and it didn't make us sad.

Twenty years ago today, Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit was officially released. The first feature film to feature the famous duo, this horror parody is a hilarious time with a creative story, some fantastic stop motion, and a whole plethora of fun characters.

The album cover looks like Fogerty tried to be the werewolf cat in the Thriller video....that's my guess.

The studio behind Nimona + the creator behind Steven Universe + Moomins = killer animated film.

Also, knowing it's made at Annapurna Animation gives me confidence that Sugar is gonna have 100% creative control over it. So I really can imagine this is gonna be a special film.

Annapurna Animation has announced they are making an animated film based on the Moomins that will be written and directed by Rebecca Sugar. Already, hearing that the studio that saved Nimona is teaming up with the creator of Steven Universe is enough to make me super hyped!

One animated film that has really grown on me since I first saw it is easily Luca. I really adore just how simple yet pure it is. Films that are just comforting and give out good vibes are films we need more of. I hope Pixar can do more like this.

No, it was pitched and in development while he was still there. There's concept art in Elemental's art book that proved this. The last film pitched to Lasseter from what I gathered was actually Turning Red. It was pitched Halloween 2017. He was out of the studio three weeks later to the day.

Indeed. And what's crazy with you bringing up Ruby Gillman being simple is that the crazy kraken climax in Luca would've been horribly convoluted. It would've involved a ridiculous magic curse in a book and Alberto wouldn't have changed back and Luca and Guilia have to stop him. It's so ridiculous.

Absolutely. I even saw Domee Shi admit that in an interview herself and stated she was so lucky that Pete Docter was her mentor and was able to allow her to make the film she wanted to make. I can imagine had Lasseter still been there, it would've been a mess.

He didn't want Luca as a slice of life film like Ghibli and wanted a ridiculous climax where Alberto turns into a kraken and threatens to destroy the entire town. Elemental would've had Wade's mother as a twist villain where she blackmails Ember to break up with Wade to protect her image.

I've also heard stories about many of the ideas Lasseter suggested to many of the films that came out this decade at Pixar before he left and they are terrible. A lot of ideas he suggested for films like Luca and Elemental were bad. And that's not getting into how he watered down films at Skydance.

This show really is comforting. I really love this family. Jack is a character I really relate to.

Bryan Lee O'Malley has revealed on Instagram that Scott Pilgrim Takes Off is officially getting a Blu-Ray! The series will be released on Blu-Ray on December 2nd! I'm very happy to see more stuff from Netflix get released on physical media. More of this please!

It literally costs nothing to be a good person in life. It's not that hard and honestly, I don't think anyone should want to be mean and nasty all the time. What's the fun in that?

I'd say you being in Pitchfork would be nuts, but then I remembered the crazy stuff you covered in Trainwreckords and the analogies you've made alongside the crazy stuff and I'm honestly at the point where nothing is too crazy to believe in music.

Good for you! I'm glad that you're doing better and feel more confident about yourself since you wrote the memoir. It was something brave tot do and honestly, I respect that kind of bravery. I'm really, really happy you're doing better!

Yep, I saw. Also, he thinks what he has at Skydance was what he once had at Pixar? Yeah to quote Clueless, as if. This studio is gonna be dead by 2030, I'm calling it.

Not me, that sounds horrible. If a DJ did this to me during a live set, I'd throw tomatoes.

I love how dark The Hunchback of Notre Dame was willing to get and just how menacing Judge Frollo is as a villain. Easily one of Disney's creepiest villains.

Swapped is such a terrible title. It's so generic. Also, I think both of those films are doomed. Anything Skydance Animation makes is probably gonna be cursed as long as Lasseter is still there.
