And things got worse after this image.

Oh, and it was well over 5 years ago since Sony announced that Demon Hunters was going to happen. The world was not ready for how big it would end up becoming.

Demon Hunters 2 was probably one of the most least surprising news out there, knowing how massive the first film was. But heck yeah.

And a lot more than that. That description only had the basics.

I still have massive respect for Pete Docter. He's an incredible filmmaker who knows how to craft amazing stories, and I think Pixar has been in the best place creatively under him that they've been in since their golden age. That said, he needs to learn when to keep his mouth shut.

And happy Mar10 Day. The Mario movies did not give the Lumas a more better upgrade. These things are just adorable.

Nice try...

Oh, and Mario Galaxy still looks like a heap of fun. And Brie Larson was clearly, CLEARLY happy to be in the direct. I do not blame her. She has always been a big Nintendo fan, she deserves it.

THAT WAS DONALD GLOVER?!?!?

Have a Diane! (and a Rosie Riveter tribute) #foxpopvli #art

Twitter is now worse than useless and I have no regrets about leaving it. It actively promotes fascist propaganda and is a cesspool of bigotry.

Ono Ghost Market was also the Pixar film that came out of the initially scrapped Disney+ show. Will say this, compared to say, Moana 2 and Search for SquarePants, the Pixar team did have already have a much better grasp of getting it from streaming to the big screen.

I don't have too much to say about the recent Pixar news... ...although I do think Docter's reasonings for what happened on Elio were clearly an "appeasing the executives at Disney" reasoning. Still should have been worded a lot better, though. And we have gotten more originals than sequels...

Cool fun fact: Mutant Mayhem co director Kyler Spears did some additional voices on Hoppers. Animators always stick together.

Seems like Nintendo and Ben Stiller have had enough of the Orange Man who is leading America. Love to see it.

Can also hear Quan's delivery too.

Here's another one. I can hear Halsey's delivery of that line in my head.

The Super Mario Galaxy logo generator is fun. And yes, that is a line said in an actual film.

"Trust people blindly and forgive people who literally try to kill you." That's not even the message of the movie.

Oh. Oh..... With a selling point like that, I am worried.

Troy Quane helming The Wild Robot Escapes cannot be a better sign for it. As well as Heidi Jo Gilbert. She has been with Roz and Brightbill since the beginning.

I also have yet to really post my thoughts on it on here... ...but man, the new Animal Farm genuinely looks abysmal and already, it's one of THOSE films that really has a hard time understanding what made the original book and really misunderstands what tone it wants to go for.

I do still find it fascinating that it wasn't until last year that Disney REALLY decided to do more with Zootopia besides the sequel... ...except for Asia. How the first film did in China alone was why it ended up making a billion dollars.

Ten years ago today, Zootopia was released. It's hard for me to believe because this Oscar-winning animated film featuring a bunny and a fox solving a mystery is the reason that made me want to look more and study animation. I owe it so much and I adore it with all my heart.

happy 10th birthday zootopia🐰🦊

Happy 10th anniversary, Judy and Nick! And thanks, Zootopia, for being one of the things that really, REALLY got me interested in animation and film in general.

Also, the new Gorillaz cartoon that has been on YouTube for a few days is genuinely phenomenal. Watch it if you REALLY want to see some top tier cel 2D animation.

Oh yeah, SOULM8TE was supposed to be released two months ago. We did find out tonight that it will be released in some form... ...but just... ...where?

Disney and Sony severely underestimated just how many copies of Zootopia 2 they were going to sell on 4K Blu-Ray. Seriously, the easiest way to get it now is to find scalping copies of it for 100 to 200 dollars on eBay. Really hoping for a miracle...

And some shocking Cars 2 facts... ...half of the film was only animated in 2 months, as Victor Navone, a Pixar veteran who has worked there since 2000 and has worked on everything from Monsters Inc. to Hoppers pointed out. Another reminder of how rushed it was.

Want to see some very good people lose their minds over the first(and only) bad film that Pixar put out and the delusional, creepy director that... ...helmed it? Here we go. And it's great.

Six months ago, Club Nimona endured the Cars 2 commentary track. Today, you get to witness our reactions to what is probably the most delusional commentary track in the world. The Cars 2 Commentary Calamity is out now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4hf...

Hoppers really feels like something that would NOT have been made during Lasseter's time at Pixar and is not something that he would have approved of. And I REALLY do mean that in a good way.

the-raging-hornet.blogspot.com/2025/11/skyd... A mutual of mine sent this article containing anonymous reports from Skydance over to me, it's worth a read in light of recent news

With all that's going on in the world: Please remember to be kind to yourself. It doesn't matter if tomorrow is gonna be the same, or that the state of the world is the end of your life when there's so much you could be missing out, but everything WILL be OK. Don't give up on your progress. 💙

Be grateful with what you have. Especially in life.

I’m just getting tired. No more big studios getting other big studios.

There's how the mighty have fallen... ...and then there's Jonathan Majors willing to make a new film with The Daily Wire. I don't know what else is more embarrassing.

And on top of that... ...both Bad Guys films did very solidly. Sing was the most successful film to never top the box office for 7 years, and it's sequel was the first animated film this decade to hit the 100 million dollar mark in the US. GOAT made much more than expected two weeks ago...

Zootopia 2 ended up becoming the most successful film of last year in the US. Great word of mouth and fantastic staying power can do wonders.

A Pixar film getting good reactions mostly means the sky is blue. And seeing Hoppers's early reactions is no different.

Criterion will be releasing Demon Hunters physically. Gimme.

I had a double feature tonight of both War of the Worlds 2025 and Smurfs 2025. Two films that I feel reach levels of bad that I feel no film should ever reach. Oh, boy.

I feel split on Demon Hunters's Annie victories. While it was sadly yet another sweep, one that has been a bad habit for the Annies for years(it also happened with Wild Robot and Across and was an especially bad habit in the late 2000s and early 2010s)... ...the wins it got were very deserved.

And took them long enough to announce an animated Venom movie. I am already in.

So the tariffs were illegal. Not surprised at all. Just another piece to the devil's puzzle.

Having the Buzz Lightyear army actually be good was one thing I wasn't expecting. I cannot wait for Toy Story 5.

And Kristen Bell will be voicing Amy. Honestly, not a bad choice at all.

Never forget when 2 animated films with heavy anthropomorphic/furry characters had the wealthy CEO be arrested for his actions back to back in 20 years. It isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

you have no idea how good prime Jett Fillmore was (can you tell i just watched Goat)
