I will never pay a single cent to watch any production that has AI generated content or imagery even if it's just on screen for a single second. And if you care about film, good stories, the talented people behind a production, and the art of cinema, then I highly advise you to do the same.
I think it's important to remember that Hollywood is just an industry, and you don't need it to make films. Cinema, as an art form, is so much bigger than it.

Congratulations to Markiplier! Making a movie is no easy task, and he ought to be very proud of himself!
Markiplier’s ’IRON LUNG’ was #1 domestically on its opening day with $9M.
The film has already made at least 3X its production budget.

Why are they film students then?
For years, audiences have groused that films are too long, and now, a number of film professors say their students are having trouble finishing films they are assigned to watch for class.

Trust me, if it turns out I'm totally wrong about this, then I'll gladly, GLADLY, eat my words and leave no crumbs behind. But knowing Mattel, I think it's wise not to get my hopes up and to expect the worst. In my experience, it's better to anticipate a movie/show being terrible and be pleasantly-
Well, this description of the new Thomas 2026 series doesn't inspire much confidence. Call me a doomer if you must, but I'm calling it now: this is going to be yet another baby slop show, exclusively for babies. All they meant by 'delight fans old and new' was that they'll bring back classic-

Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of the eyelids on 2026 Thomas. They're not a deal breaker or anything, but I could definitely do without them, as they make the engines look too human and uncanny. Percy actually looks quite nice, and I like his smug expression, it fits his character. Also, it's cool to see-

It's about time. Fully deserved, one of, if not the best animated movies of all time.

Still not entirely sure what’s up with this promo image. It doesn’t look all that appealing, and honestly, it doesn’t even resemble the show, as seen in that little animation clip. I don’t think it’s effective at drawing people in, if anything, it seems to be repelling them due to how unappealing-

What makes this all the more baffling is how they talk about this new reboot and the language used to describe it, only for them to do this. It’s as if they can’t quite make up their mind regarding what they want the series’ identity to be, which is precisely the issue that has plagued this-

There it is: the all-new 2026 Thomas, and man, I still literally don’t know what to think or feel. Upon first glance, I was actually ready to jump in the air and yell, “WE’RE SO BACK,” but then I saw the actual clip of it, and there he was, bouncing around. Well… saying my excitement dropped-
First look at the new ‘Thomas & Friends’ reboot.
Expected to release this fall on YouTube Kids.

I find the dynamic between Yoshi and Toad in the Galaxy movie to be funny but also a bit fascinating. Toad is upset that Yoshi, at least from his pov, is forcing himself into the group, and that both Mario and Luigi are unquestioningly accepting him with open arms. However, whether he realizes it-

In the age of the internet, it shouldn’t be hard for him to do his own show or podcast, similar to what Conan did. Show cancellation no longer means your career is over the way it used to, and honestly there’s probably more influence to be gained online than from network TV.

Besides the writing and how the world is portrayed, I’m also very curious to know what the voice acting is going to be like in this new series. I hope they’ve formed a cast that actually suits each character and brings lots of life and personality to each of them.
Well… so this is it, huh? Based on these “renders” used for the packaging of the merchandise for the new 2026 Thomas series, this is apparently what the new show is going to look like, and I honestly have no clue what to even say. First off, for the life of me, I can’t really determine whether-

Out of curiosity, I decided to try naming all the parts on Thomas the Tank Engine, as I remember being able to do so rather impressively and accurately as a child, and I’m pleased to say I think I’ve still got it.

Absolutely gorgeous! Honestly, one of the most cinematic posters I've seen in recent memory. This hits all the right notes.
