Turns out Turning Red was screened last week in London. So far the reviews for it have been mixed.

I feel like that's to be expected. It certainly isn't gonna be the next Up. I feel like Pixar's trying to capitalize on the Y2K nostalgia craze that was brought on by quarantine and Dua Lipa (and the twenty years thing) as well as the anime explosion (but for real this time).

I smell The Good Dinosaur 2.0. All flash, no substance.

The problem isn't just the weird troon connections, the ugly art, and the creepy puberty message. The story is a whole lot of nothing. Wow! A popular sassy kid gains a special power and becomes even more popular and sassy! So relatable!

It just sounds like a snorefest with unsettling tumblr-predator implications.

The more I look at it. It just looks like this was originally pitched as an animated film from Dreamworks, that somehow made its way to Pixar. Some of the people I know who've enjoyed Pixar have even made similar comparisons in terms of where the movie is going from the trailer alone.

And a friend finally made me realize why all the boy bands and puberty stuff sounded so familiar.

Some fun trivia. The Jonas Brothers were advised to not watch this particular episode of South Park back when they were at Disney. They ended up watching it a few years later after they left the company and all three got a good laugh out of it.

It has similarities in that DreamWorks is known for making unconventional protagonists whether they're jerkasses or not at first (and they tend to become jerks later on from cockiness), but even the worst of DreamWorks had some kind of entertaining notion to them even in the trailers. I sense more Illumination influence than DreamWorks, honestly. Last Disney movie that was more along the lines of DreamWorks-esque was Chicken Little, though I swear Big Hero 6 was trying to be How to Train Your Dragon with superhero robots.

I will go out on a limb and say this movie doesn’t fit the style of any of the aforementioned companies and comes off more like a Warner/Turner production that you would see on modern Cartoon Network. Dreamworks has far too much of an edge and good animation for this. Illumination is shit, but it is sterile shit, so designs are at least decent enough to look at and just come off as forgettable.

This movie has all the makings of a post-Steven CN property from the cal-arts designs to the jerking off of the 2000s. I love Cartoon Network, but they are definitely what inspired this shit.

Will Disney+ remove this Simpsons episode like they did with the one that referenced Tiananmen Square?

They only did that in Hong Kong but if they remove this one... well, someone was reading up on Lenin's nationality policy, if you know what I mean.

That's a relief, the timing was just stupidly suspect. Guess that means Anastasia is no longer a de-facto Disney princess. :story:

Well, I doubt any of you were predicting there was gonna be a war.

They're just salty that one of their former animators and rivals (Don Bluth) made a knock-off Disney Princess movie so flawlessly that people regularly mistook it for a Disney production for years, a confusion only amplified once they put it on Disney+. It's apparently going to Starz starting March 18th.

i saw encanto.
it wasn't bad but man what a boring and un-eventful resolution. 'grandma and i talked it out THE END'. imo coco did it better (yes i know it's pixar but it felt more like a disney movie than a pixar one), at least there was the mending between family themes in tandem with some actually entertaining plot points. but i guess maybe they just wanted to deviate expected disney shit and show that not all problems are caused by a villain.

some thoughts i had
the buff sister did not turn out to be an annoying tumblrina fantasy like i dreaded she would and her character was actually the pretty endearing to me.
i also really liked the two caterpillars song.
but that's all i can say for the music because the rest of the songs were sooo so forgettable.
also it kind of amusing to me that tumblr and twitter refuse to forgive the grandma character, the same way they got assmad how in the first frozen elsa went back home and took responsibility for her actions. it shows the lack of emotional maturity these grown ass people watching disney movies have, which. eh. yeah, expected.

It just seemed like another Ryan Reynolds movie as he plays Deadpool for the millionth time, but in a video game.

I liked that time he was Deadpool and he killed Triple H, and that time he was Deadpool but was serious legit schizo with no super powers and his pets told him to kill people

Marge voice actor sounds like one of those very sick people who warn you to quit smoking before it's too late!

the voicing is shit but tbh the idea of leaving a message to the colony has been part of my ant control plans for a couple of decades so I can't hate that too hard
