Someone should look into the skeletons in Ellison’s closet to see why exactly he would be okay with this kind of behavior. He's an overprivileged little shit. His dad is a billionaire who gave him money to play producer. You can even tell from his photos, for crying out loud. He looks like a douche...

I listened to the Bancroft Brothers podcast and they had one about the end of animation with Nik Ranieri and he had great lines for this situation. On one hand he said that John Lasseter had and has great pressure over him from the CEO and the investors and stuff and when Disney bought Pixar and mad...

People are trippin' over the tame collar fist version, but yeah I think nobody would love the city, unless they made a film noire version where you love to hate that dreadful place. Maybe a bit too dark for Disney. And yet the part with the polar bears and the collar was so emotional, I loved it per...

I realize that lately I have not been good on my word of saying that I wasn't going to come back here, on account of some topics that I couldn't help sharing my thoughts on, only to get hooked on my usual rants on Disney and CGI again. But after careful consideration, I'd decided to make a proposal...

I find the direct film-by-film comparisons unncessary, though I admit they do show some interesting parallels. Anyway, I'd say that for me personally, the highs of the Renaissance exceed the Lasseter era, but the lows are lower. The Lasseter era is more consistent, and no matter what you think of t...

Even with the nostalgia being a huge part of the Renaissance: the first movie I ever saw on a theatre was Oliver & Co, and I remember watching it at a very young age and being afraid of the big images on screen. The big movies where the disney movies, period, TLM, BaTB, Aladdin, TLK, Pocahontas....

Plus, if subtly telling kids that stereotyping and prejudice split people apart counts as "SJW propaganda" then I worry for your children. It truly is an issue that should be directly handled in kids' films rather than skirted around. Sugar coating things only trivializes prejudice. Kids'...

This picture with Judy in the rain looks just like film noire, and has such a sad vibe, its awesome!

Seriously it looks amazing.

I agree. I think in so much time we'll end up at a place where not as many animated films are produced by Hollywood for a while and a number of animation studio might shut down or shrink to near non-existence. History has an interesting way of repeating itself. However, this might not be a bad thin...

2-D grew because films like "Lion King" made crazy amounts of money and every one in Hollywood wanted some of that bank. 2-D died because everyone in Hollywood had no idea what they were doing, put form over substance, and could not put butts in seats. As that was happening, PIXAR, Blue S...

I love that Riley's father mind headquarters is like a nuclear submarine, all black and red and with a 50's looking console LOL! On the other hand, father is not THAT old right?? They make it look like he comes straight outta 50's with that whole fear/rage of boys and the whole gettingk the foot dow...

The formula from the '90s was exhausted, but so is the Pixar one--and yet nobody ever calls it out. Finally someone else who realizes how worn-out the Pixar formula has been! Where have you've been all my life? Haha! I think it's pretty unfair that Disney always gets called out for reusing their fo...

I'm gonna take a lot of heat for what I'm going to say, but a lot of what happened that made 2d look obsolete had to do with Disney, and Disney alone. The cheapquels. Using the same formula every time they could. As it will happen with all this comic franchises you have to change, to innovate, Disne...

Regarding TLM I have a similar story, I watched when I was five in the big screen, it was the second movie I've seen in a theatre, and I distinctly remember it scared the living hell out of me, specially when Ursula was on scene. Then I forgot about it a little bit, it helped that I didn't have the ...

I'm sure Lasseter still loves hand drawn animation. Let's just say he's been controlled by Lord Hand Drawn Hater himself, Bob Iger. Id compare what is happening now to what happened to the console market in the crash of '83. You also know that the public opinion and the media want a simple story, n...

I never know if a Hispanic is just a guy from South America, or is a similar term to "latin" that makes a group with south americans and southern europeans, but as a Spaniard I must tell you, we have all the skin tones in the book, myself having black hair, green eyes and a light skin tone...

Sylvain Chomet talks about The Simpsons couch gag he worked on and 2D animation. Q: As an artist and a director, what can you say with 2D that you can't say -- or can't say as well -- in 3D/CGI? Sylvain Chomet : They are very different techniques. 3D is essentially a “puppet” animation, more akin t...

I looove that type of stuff. Its the type of thing thats really missing from animated film these days. The studios are scared little details like this will bore kids. And its not something that needs to be exclusive to 2d. Theres no reason the pacing of cgi films cant be slowed down as well. But ev...

why hasnt the same thing happened with cgi flms by now with the oversaturation of horrible cgi movies that have been released to theaters since the 2000's? is it just that cgi is so cool & shiny looking to people that you can do anything, even the worst dreck, & people will still flock to i...

Two words: Filli Vanilli. That episode was pretty amazing. And is it bad that I prefer Fluttershy's bass singing voice as opposed to her regular one? What's funny is that I have never heard of this show when it premiered, I think it was a friend of mine in high school in my senior year in 2011 who ...
