No Kings. Except for Him.

Because I saw Toy Story on the big screen a month ago, I went on a bit of a Disney Animation and Pixar kick whenever I have time away from my college work. boxd.it/bp0vrF

I was able to pick up some new Blu-Rays in the past couple weeks. One of them is a solid Sci-fi adventure that deserved a lot better than what it had gotten, and the other is my favorite animated film this year so far, besides KPDH.

Looking at you Criterion!

This is progress. I am glad that KPop Demon Hunters is finally starting to convince Netflix that their movies belong on the big screen rather than trapped on the streaming service. All we need now is more Blu-Ray releases and I'd be very happy.

I swear to God, Netflix saw those singing animated girls and got dollar signs in their eyes like that construction worker in the Looney Tunes short "One Froggy Evening"

To me, a live action remake of an animated film is the equivalent of a photographic recreation of an impressionist painting. Not only is it pointless, it fails to understand the artistic value of the original intention. All they are is unnecessary and a waste of time and money.

Pixar needs to realize soon that Gatto is going to be crushed, being released on the same day as BTSV. They shouldn’t be afraid to make a big delay or let Disney delay Frozen 3 next year in March for the November slot. That’s what I think, but this should be done to avoid the studio war stigma.

"Elio" is definitely a flawed movie. I think everything that can be said about it, good and bad, has been said by now. But I don't think I will ever be convinced that this film isn't BEAUTIFUL in terms of its lighting, coloring, atmosphere, and sound mixing.

If there's a game, show, or movie you don't like, cool. You're not required to like everything. But tell me in your own words why you don't like that thing, and then move on. Don't make your obsessive hatedom your whole identity.

I'm absolutely shocked and sad to hear about Diane Keaton passing today at 79. She was such a lovely and incredible actress being in so many classic films like The Godfather and Reds and many more while also doing some voicework in Finding Dory and Green Eggs and Ham. I'm so sad.

"This movie I don't like is made by AI" has got to be one of the worst and laziest bad faith criticisms I've seen yet. It's incredibly insulting to the humans working on those movies, and an "AI movie" will be so bad that even the lowest rated movies will look good by comparison.

These two’s relationship is…messy to put it mildly, even with respect rekindled. But both don’t really have patience for AI grifters and those outright stealing other’s actual art. So PICK IT UP🐈🐺 Art by always amazing @theabbeyroadie.bsky.social #PussInBoots #Lobo #deathwolf #TheLastWish #NoAI

A message from Phil Vischer, the creator of VeggieTales.

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

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.

#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.

As an LGBTQ+ writer/creator, I stand in solidarity with @hamishsteele.bsky.social & all other LGBTQ+ creators. #lgbt #solidarity #writer

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?

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.

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.

My university is doing a theater production of the original novel. Of course, I had to watch this. boxd.it/bgYuT3

The fact that Pixar is aware....it's canon now

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.

Drop something blue

Growing up is realizing that Nigel never realized that Marlin found Nemo.

Sony Pictures Animation is a great studio full of talented creatives, yet the company its named after constantly underestimates their ideas outside of anything Spidey-related, despite the proven success of certain original movies. Someone please get those people better bosses.

My university’s biology club picked the right film for movie night last night. Wall-E is just so amazing!

Disney should act on a new release day if they want Gatto to succeed. I don’t know how it would do against the ultimate conclusion to the Spider-Verse.

“Indie is the future of animation” is an argument that I’m not falling for. I’ve learned that it won’t immediately fix all of the problems going on in the industry, easier said than done.

Elio does not belong in the same boat as Cailiou, you dumb f***. This guy clearly hasn’t seen the movie.

Here's some concept art of Elio and Glordon from Elio by Ernesto Nemesio. I still absolutely adore this film with all my heart and it should have absolutely have done better in theaters. I hope people give it a chance when it drops on Disney+ next week. It's a great Pixar film.

Have some concept art from KPop Demon Hunters by Scott Watanabe. I adore how the colors from the art really popped out in the final film.

Autism is not a disease that needs to be cured. We are not animals that need to be put down. We are human and we want to be accepted as such.

Seriously, say what you will about stuff like Lightyear, Wish or the live-action remakes, but there’s a point where hearing people repeat the same rants and tantrums becomes so tiring and unpleasant that those films inevitably become more fun to experience, even with their flaws.

The cynicism in the cartoon community has become so forced and unbearable that watching the movies and shows that they hate is more enjoyable than listening to them continuously complaining about them.

As someone who has been highly critical of The Walt Disney Company, the recent hate towards Disney has become borderline grifting. We are at a point where Disney announcing a brand new original animated movie is enough to get people rioting. To Animation Twitter, please go touch grass.

You have no idea how over I am with the animation cynicism I'm seeing online regarding films and whatnot. It's gone beyond frustrating for me as I think there's a difference between being skeptical of a new film to being fully dismissive of it. Seriously, just wait till it's out.

“Elio is Pixar’s worst movie” This is something I’ll never stand.

Post a movie you like with a terrible Rotten Tomatoes score. This is along with a few others like IF, Atlantis: The Lost Empire, Smurfs: The Lost Village, and Looney Tunes: BIA. Not a bad score, but the reception was pretty weak. I still like it because of its wacky and absurd nature.

Post a movie you like with a terrible rotten tomatoes score …Actually, compared to what other people are sharing, this score actually isn’t terrible. Then again, considering how social media is treating it, you’d expect this would be much lower.

One thing I've decided to focus on less is how a movie will do at the box office because one thing I know is that just because a film doesn't do well initially in theaters doesn't mean it's always doomed to be forgotten. Films can always get second lives and find audiences.

"You had a big fall. You must not be thinking straight." "No, for the first time, I am thinking straight. I am not a space ranger. I'm just a toy, a stupid, insignificant toy!" "You are Andy's toy! You are HIS toy!" "But why would Andy want me?" Whoo boy. These lines say quite a lot.

Saw a childhood favorite of mine on the big screen last Friday. Happy 30th anniversary, Toy Story! boxd.it/b4RMHH
