Watched Freakier Friday last night. It was a fun movie though a bit long and maybe too filled with subplots. I'd say it's just a little worse than the original. Though it did get me crying a bit.
Managing to get so many people from the first back was mighty impressive though.

Thinking it's Hollywood/the movie industry rather than the 1900s writing industry, the 2000s (?) writing industry, or the Broadway/theater industry is quite insane. Having this idea that they've corrupted it at all is insane.

For fun and entertainment, I agree. But a lot of, not just dolphins, but animals in general are brought to captivity because they could not survive in the wild for a multitude of reasons. Many zoos that still exist are for the animals that can't go back to the wild for some reason or another.

These images from the Legend of Zelda film are really encouraging. Zelda and Link both look great! It seems like they're doing what they did with the Mario movie and combining lore, though I'd have liked a wholly original one instead.
Zelda looks like BotW.
Link looks like Twilight Princess.
