I wasn’t planning on seeing it anyway, but this crosses the line.

Pocket Princesses 429: Supplies

Raya, Poca and Raps are on a nature trek. Raps has brought her adorably tiny new travel journal and half a Michael’s store with her. (It’s me. I am Raps)

Good to see an animation fan that actually appreciates Elio for what it is and not using other films to downplay it. I love KPDH, but I do not approve of this behavior.

Pocket Princesses 430: 75 Years of Peanuts (and we have waited long enough!)

It’s time for Charlie Brown to kick that football and the Princesses have announced a change in roster to make it happen. Snow White has entered the field.

Saying that Pixar would do so much better with a rapist in charge instead of a passionate filmmaker is definitely a choice.

Alex Millar @arm2001.bsky.social · 4d

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?

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.

These girls are relentlessly strong and supportive of each other. They don’t deserve to be pawns by the animation community to push their A.I. generated agenda of animation studio wars.

Even if Mat should’ve known better when discussing Cuties, that film is long behind us and it’s thankfully been taken off. With that said I’m not surprised Diaz went after him for not destroying Disney’s recent output, considering how much of a hate boner he has for them.

#IStandWithHamishSteele

Hamish Steele, the creator of Dead End: Paranormal Park has done absolutely nothing wrong other than daring to use his 1st Amendment rights against the unconstitutional ideology of Charlie Kirk.

He is beloved by his colleagues in the animation industry and deserves better.

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?

Someone sent me a message saying that, in order for me to gain my reputation, I need to...review more bad movies?

Do we have to put Pixar in a box and base the quality of their films off of one person or put all the people who work their under on entity?

This is what I feared about the aftermath of my past Sony Animation controversy. People took the wrong lesson from it and now believe that I was only wrong because I didn’t attack the “right” movies. As we’ve seen from the Fixed backlash, they don’t care about the studio or the people working there.

The fact people are still this upset you didn't treat Wish the same as you did for Cloudy 2/Emoji Movie or plenty of actually really bad movies that are ten times worse than Wish ever was is stupid.

Like how dare you didn't act like it was the worst thing ever. Clearly u a shill or something.

They’re blinded by their nostalgia and they can’t accept the reality that, even with the troubles that the studio had faced, Pixar is better off without him, especially when some of their filmmakers were given freedom to take risks with their stories like Turning Red, Soul, and Inside Out 2.

First of all, Cars 2 exists. Secondly, even with his attributes, John is a drunken sexual predator that deserved the boot. As much as Pixar’s executives need to let their artists cook as they do, do you think you think they need the hugger back? If you do, then you’re drunk as he is.

They can’t be reasoned with, so we must let these films stand as they are and not ruin them for everybody.

Jacob Watt @jakedoesartstuff.bsky.social · 4d

Does this include Inside Out 2 as well? these types of videos are pretty much brain rot content at this point. Also, comparing it to Wish? Does that film still live in their minds rent free? 🙄

Mat, that render of Judy that you used in the thumbnail is made by NicoToons, an artist who uses AI in his work, including that render. I noticed that it was off so you should change it and insert Judy from the trailer.

I’ve got too much stuff going on in my life between college and more that I don’t want to bother throwing my anger out any video essayist YouTubers who are using the most baseless subjects to talk about. I’m thankful to be focusing on art and graphic design and not rage bait junk.
