And now, a special shoutout to my absolute favorite short films produced by Pixar Animation Studios, coming from their three volume sets released on DVD and Blu-ray from 2007-2018. I love 'em all, but these are the ones that are most special to me personally. The list itself will be in the thread.

Social Media Advice: If you see a post reporting a quote attributed to a famous person, double check if they actually said it. Today, I saw a quote that Seth Rogen apparently said, went looking for the full context and turns out...he didn't say that.

I'll be honest, I got a little bit of that vibe with Forgotten Island. Like, I admire the film's themes and what it's trying to do, but at the same time I think DWA deliberately told Joel and Januel to make a movie that seemed hype-worthy from the trailers and TV spots alone.

Aardman's founders, Peter Lord and David Sproxton, have officially been knighted by the king. Given their wonderful achievements for stop motion animation as well as standing up for their artists, this is a wonderful honor for both!

And there is also Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, commonly cited as the best Dungeons and Dragons film (I know, not a difficult feat), and it suffered at the box office.

Hell, I like Masters of the Universe (and same goes for a lot of people). I also love Transformers One being one of the best recent Transformers movie. But this focus on them bombing is so... phony and like a fungus.

The Internet will never make me dislike or deem "unnecessary" a movie that introduced these characters.

"Chimptopia" Created by Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer

this is the only Chimptopia that really matters

This was stupidly fun.

Say what you want about Glitch but at least apart from the ones Kevin and Luke makes, none of their shows created by someone else felt similar to each other Plus, making your first impression of a series about a dig towards another indie animation studio isn't going to do any favours

Promoting your show by making fun of what’s popular is child’s play.

Soooo not only is this a poor parody of Tex Avery’s Screwy Squirrel, it’s unnecessarily bashing other popular indie projects for… *checks notes* … existing. What a spiteful, unfunny hill to die on when creators should be supportive of each other in the genAI-riddled hellscape we have today.

At least with the Shrek movies even with all their obvious Disney slamming moments they mostly didn’t use them in their marketing and mostly advertised the films for their own strengths.

Wow, that’s impressive! Happy to see him doing well.

Oh hey, cynicism AND shitting on another series! I hope Glitch sues their asses for this!

And also despite DreamWorks currently having controversy involving transphobia.

You know, not a good sign when the first thing someone does for their kickstarter is to shit on another creator's cartoon for the sake of arrogance. And a sign that someonone has nothing to offer.

And in retaliation because of how much he hated him, Jackson had his artists model one of the orcs after Harvey. A fine wine that gets better with age.

Once again, Alex Hirsch is the absolute best!

I still hate how this film was received, and how people STILL blindly regurgitate "Pixar isn't what it used to be"

Diaz Station (MisAnthro Pony) is a clout chaser and infamous to use death threats towards everyone who have different opinions on Disney, Star Wars, ect. by making sockpuppet accounts using hate and misleading response to make everyone look bad except himself. youtu.be/_l7CsbPDc5A

New "Mr. Coat" episode, on the history of Fine Line Features and its successor Picturehouse, which released acclaimed attention-grabbing movies like Robert Altman's "The Player" and Guillermo del Toro's "Pan's Labyrinth" www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXSd...

I'm sure it will have a wonderful legacy. Time does heal for a lot of movies and gives them second lives and that's going to happen with Elio eventually because it is that good of a film.

On today's episode of Disney Haters Gone Wild, one person demonstrates their mindset that if you enjoy certain movies that they may not, especially if those films were released by Disney, they will consider it the equivalent of you wanting a brain tumor.

Happy one year anniversary to Elio! It's such a beautiful, touching movie that means so much more to me than I could possibly describe, and it's profoundly unfair that its legacy as a film is overshadowed by failure. It deserved so much better, and I truly hope time will be kinder to it.

I find accusations of "director bias" in reviews so weak. I'm a big Spielberg fan who loves the majority of his filmography, even some of his less popular films. I'm the most likely person to give "Disclosure Day" a positive review. Yet I was underwhelmed. That's proof "director bias" isn't a thing

Got one

I stand corrected, Diaz Station has a worse take on people seeing the Moana remake. Calling people slaves, over watching live action Disney remakes? Is he serious?

Gene Shalit was one of the OG reviewers next to Siskel & Ebert. Before the Nostalgia Critic and AVGN, he was the pioneer of having a quirky appearance and a goofy gimmick to talk about which movies are good/bad in front of the camera. He walked so that we reviewers can run free on the internet.

Disclosure Day was GREAT. Really great. But man... ...it's definitely not for everyone. Just going to say that right now.

On top of ALL of the issues with this rant, I just learned that Diaz (who I have already blocked) used an enthusiastic post of mine in his video for people to see. Normally, this would make me self-conscious about my interests. But at this point, I don't care. He has NO impact on my life.

Diaz is becoming an AI bot. And this clip shows.

100 years is a remarkable life.

speaking as a Disney fan, I'm 50/50 on the remakes, some of them are good, some of them are bad, but for this Diaz to call people slaves just because they like the remakes is pure toxicity In fact if anything this Diaz person is a slave to being toxic towards others

This would be a perfect marketing opportunity for Disney where all they have to do is say “You don’t have to like our movies or our brand, but do you want to sound like this guy?”

But fun fact, Chris Sanders was one of the many directors considered for the Masters of the Universe movie, he was actually one of the frontrunners before years later Travis Knight got the gig.

An important thing to note about this is that the State AG still needs to look over first and can still sue and also that the EU and UK’s regulatory bodies are also probing this merger, which can still disrupt whether it goes through. But still, FUCK THE ELLISONS!!!!!!

"Slop" has now lost all meaning. It used to mean "something really low effort and ugly". It especially referred to gen AI garbage. Now film snobs twisted it to mean "anything I don't like" while they pretend to be superior. It is no longer effective criticism.

I cannot be more happier for how both Obsession and Backrooms have been doing. But at the same time... ...there are those who have taken their successes for granted. They aren't exactly comparable to say... ...The Mandalorian and Grogu. A film that was a much different beast than them.

And I'll personally stick up for Lightyear, too. I think people get too hung up on how it connects with the Toy Story films, while I mainly wanted an exciting sci-fi adventure and I got it. The way people reacted to Top Gun: Maverick that summer (and I did like Maverick), I felt about Lightyear.

Oh, Diaz... ...someone who will never stop giving out awful takes. Ever.

#ToyStory5 is another brilliant entry in this series, doing a marvellous job of handling the multiple plot threads, further developing Jessie and Bonnie and addressing the pros and cons of our technological world. And did it hit me emotionally, too? Yep!

To think that without her, we wouldn't have the Tinkerbell we know and love. She lived an interesting life. She is gone but not forgotten. Rest in peace, Margaret.

Tinker Bell may not have an official voice (in the original Peter Pan), but she did have someone who was a key role in bringing her to life. This is why Margaret Kerry quietly made a big impact on some of the most memorable moments and characters in animation. She will be missed.

Its funny how people are literally grasping at straws to bash Disney/Pixar over Gatto cause it has a black cat as a protagonist just like Flow. Cause yeah, Flow invented the black cat for its animated movie and Pixar decided to make a movie with stylized animation in less than 2 years.

The swedish dubbed teaser trailer for Gatto has been released !!🥳❤️❤️❗ youtu.be/tzGx3TrKXGA?...

Sure, some remakes don't work, but others are actually really good. For example, I also loved Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, The Jungle Book, and Lilo and Stitch. The one I hate the most is Pinocchio.

@skircle.me Haven't done one of these in a while.

I was already hyped because Enrico Casarosa + painterly art style + cats, but now we’re getting Ratatouille vibes + Godfather homages? GIMME GIMME GIMME.
