^I made the same connection to H2O.

The animation is surprisingly elegant. I still prefer hand-drawn animation, even when used for something like a theme-park ride. And either way, I prefer physical animatronics over any kind of digital rendering. That'll be the shadow hanging over this thing for me. But I can absolutely appreciate th...

"The Mandalorian and Grogu" has actually gone up a little in my estimation. The new trailer this last week looked pretty good.

My default favorites, though, will always go to Pixar and Disney Animation originals.

I suppose this is just the other end to the debate with Pixar character designs. "Why do all their characters look the same? It makes their films look cheap" vs. "Why did they change up their character designs? It makes their films look cheap" It may just be the different express...

Ugh! It just kills me that there are people in this world who see the whole picture for this movie, and here we are stuck on the ground just speculating for another year and a half. I've had some cause these last few weeks to reflect back on the timeframe leading up to the first Frozen movie--way be...

A number of films have given their young male protagonists mother characters, but there are few instances of mother and son going on any kind of adventure together.

What stands out most to me with the character designs are the bright colors, which I'm a fan of. Casting choices? Also top-notch. I agree that mother-son pairings are regrettably rare in film, and so I'll miss the opportunity this could have been, but I suppose this is also the rare opportunity wher...

I think from Pixar's perspective, the cartoony designs have been a deliberate rebuttal against their signature "Pixar look" that they defaulted to for like the first twenty years of their reign. I know I had seen some discussion about the studio resting on their laurels, basically daring t...

Shame. But it also means it'll be easier to license, meaning I might actually get to see it myself one of these days.

I think he and Lee were saddled with many of the same roadblocks, and those have done more to impede the success of their films than the actual quality of their leadership, which I think that journalists continue to deliberately overlook in the interest of a tastier news piece. (Mostly. I am still u...

A different former Pixar staffer tells THR that some employees are disappointed that the studio seems to let concerns about public perception lead its decision-making on movies like Elio and Be Fri. According to the individual, “the joke around Pixar” is that leadership “has no spine at all.” A rep...

"Supergirl" looks really promising, and "The Odyssey" is probably the most interested I've been in Chris Nolan's work. And I'm just so impressed that "Coyote vs Acme" got a release after all that of course I'm going to see it. "Disclosure Day" and "The En...

It looks really neat. I'll be keeping my eyes on this one for sure. My valid concern remains whether it'll gain any lasting traction as a streaming exclusive. Even the interesting movies that land there never seem to hold anyone's attention for very long. I know I'm writing this in the wake of "...

Preview of the 2027 calendar. https://i.imgur.com/mFrj9Oy.jpg Mulan: So, what? We're allowed to look at each other now? Pocahontas: Yeah. New corporate directive.

It's the way the surface looks like when you look at it from underwater: https://www.icegif.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/icegif-635.gif Very late to responding to this, but I really like this observation!

That's awesome! Have such a fun time--and give us excruciatingly detailed reports! You're our eye on the inside now!

I really love both Brave's and Snow White's.

Those more intricate designs make me wish we'd gotten something fancier for Ariel. Perhaps the silhouette of her at the rocks? The one imitating the "mermaid" statue in Copenhagen?
