Hey, did you know that in the first decade of the Best Animated Feature category, there were 4 non-Disney/Pixar animated features that won in that decade? Yes, there was a time where Disney was distributing Studio Ghibli films and even helped out the English dub.

Oh typical Schaffrillas. Soon at this point, whenever Disney/Pixar wins in the future, toxic animation fans will be complaining instead of celebrating. Meaning that they don’t actually care about the winners since GDT’s Pinocchio.

Here's some concept art of the Abstract Thought scene from Inside Out painted by Albert Lozano. This scene in the film really does feel like a nice tribute to Chuck Jones and Maurice Noble, as it does feel something out of their shorts The Dot and the Line and High Note.

Trying to make anything AI-related to anyone is already bad enough, but trying to get kids to indulge in it is a special level of low. You might as well be treating them like idiots in doing so and children should never be exploited like that.

A Bug's Life is Andrew Stanton's movie. Toy Story 2 is Lee Unkrich and Ash Brannon's movie. Cars is the late Joe Ranft's movie. While we shouldn't ignore John Lasseter's contributions at Pixar, he's not the visionary we should be commending.

Movies deserve to be released in theaters, movies and shows deserve to be released outside of streamers exclusively, and movies and shows deserve to be released on physical media for people to own. They shouldn't be kept locked up in one specific place.

Hot take, but I feel that if you're going to become a professional critic or a YouTuber with a focus on pop culture, you should have at least some sense of media literacy. And you should actually watch or play the thing you're criticizing.

To everyone that falsely accused Wish and the trailer for Hexed for using AI/ChatGPT have never seen a trailer that’s actually animated in AI like that trailer that features AniMat in a donkey. Heck, I wouldn’t be surprised if they liked using AI without telling or showing that they like to use AI.
