"This movie I don't like is made by AI" has got to be one of the worst and laziest bad faith criticisms I've seen yet.

It's incredibly insulting to the humans working on those movies, and an "AI movie" will be so bad that even the lowest rated movies will look good by comparison.

I honestly didn’t even notice the projected faces when I went on Frozen Ever After cause the girls behind me were screaming their heads off throughout the ride especially on the drop.

-sure if I’ll be able to recover. I want to thank everyone who’s been supportive and I hope to be feeling better soon, but in the meantime I’ll probably be a lot less active on social media for a while. I’ll try to post whenever I can, but I need to put my personal life first for now.

Alex Millar @arm2001.bsky.social · 1d

I apologise for the lack of activity recently. I’m going through some real struggles in my personal life including preparing to move to a place I don’t really want to go, my lack of a proper job and my dwindling relationships. It’s been taking a real dangerous toll on my mental health and I’m not-

Honestly, on rewatch, my thoughts are more negative this time around. I could be wrong and it turns out enjoyable, but at this point, I’ll not be looking forward to potentially saying that Ralph 2 is better and looking like this;

-doesn’t immediately turn everyone off.

I remember reading and really liking the Twits book in school as a kid and while this does look like it’ll be quite different in many ways, it does still look decent. Maybe not amazing, but might be pretty fun.
Just hope the fact that the director of RBTI is making this-

I will admit I’m not too familiar with the Moomins and I’ve only seen a few episodes of Steven Universe, but this does sound very promising. Maybe not a movie for me, but hopefully it’ll succeed for the big fans of those franchises.

Animated Antic @animatedantic.bsky.social · 2d

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!

I preferred not to say her name just for privacy reasons cause despite the stupid things she said, I don’t want people harassing her. If you do, then you’re no better.

Alex Millar @arm2001.bsky.social · 3d

Accurate as hell

Alex Millar @arm2001.bsky.social · 3d

I think both Elemental and Elio recently fit that category in a lot of places as well. Even though they have their high energy and action-y moments, most of their runtimes are dedicated to simple wholesomeness
I dare you to come at me saying these movies are ‘generic baby slop that play too safe.’

Alex Millar @arm2001.bsky.social · 3d

I think I should specify, I’m pretty sure she didn’t fully defend John, she did say that kicking him out for misconduct was a good thing, but still saying that the quality of the films dropped when Pete Docter took over.

Alex Millar @arm2001.bsky.social · 3d

Nathan Greno is a decent sign, but the plot doesn’t sound that interesting so far and the sheer fact that this is Skydance Animation given their track record so far;

Alex Millar @arm2001.bsky.social · 3d

I just saw another one of those videos today and as a bonus, she even does that claim of ‘Pixar’s films would be so much better if Pete Docter never took over and John Lasseter was still in charge.’

Need I say more?

GabeA113 @gabea113.bsky.social · 4d

Great. I saw, yet, another “KPop Demon Hunters is better than Pixar’s recent films” stigma thumbnail on YouTube.

It’s been almost 4 months since that A.I Generated trend happened.

We are in the month of October.

JUST MOVE F**KING ON!

Alex Millar @arm2001.bsky.social · 4d

Thank the lord I’m not the only one who remembers this show considering it’s from the UK!

Alex Millar @arm2001.bsky.social · 4d

She and Mary Costa (the voice of Aurora) are possibly the last surviving voice actors from the classic Walt Disney era.

True legends.

Alex Millar @arm2001.bsky.social · 4d

Thankfully this wouldn’t be the only time.

Klaus, Nimona and Kpop Demon Hunters physical release?

In quite a coincidence I recently rewatched Savox’s video about the most horrifying animal attacks which actually introduced me to Jane Goodall and her life work with Chimps. She is the one to thank for showing chimps as the terrifying crazy animals they are instead of peaceful monkeys. RIP.

Phil Lewis @phillewis.bsky.social · 7d

Jane Goodall, ethologist and conservationist, has died. She was 91

Alex Millar @arm2001.bsky.social · 8d

Plus the fact that we’re already getting into controversy about one of the characters’ sexual identity and Dana is apparently getting backlash for it says a lot about the state of the current animation community.

Alex Millar @arm2001.bsky.social · 8d

-intended to be or not.

Alex Millar @arm2001.bsky.social · 8d

It is perfectly okay to enjoy KOG, I thought the first episode was very promising too, but I agree, it’s time TOH fandom and animation community in general needs to let that whole situation go now.
People nowadays just want to use anything as an attack or slam against Disney regardless if it’s-

Juan Pablo Gracía Saborío @juanpadraws.bsky.social · 9d

Not gonna support KOG, the fandom just turned out to be toxic and it is TOH fandom 2.0, besides I'm sick of seeing the Disney haters saying that this show is a "revenge" on Disney while Dana said that she love to work there, the only thing that she's against it's the censor of the Lumity kiss 😑😑

I am so fucking tired right now.

Alex Millar @arm2001.bsky.social · 8d

I just watched a video talking about if Hexed is a rip off of the Owl House and one comment legitimately said that they want the movie to fail as after Disney messed with her vision, they’re going to bastardise it into “marketable slop” and even compared it to a stranger grave robbing and wearing-

Another notable instance was with Detective Pikachu where some young lads behind me were throwing popcorn and being rather noisy throughout the film. Also, with Despicable Me 2, my theatre had to be evacuated due to a presumed fire in the neighbouring building, if that technically counts.
