Brian Bear@beapeabear.bsky.social · yesterdayI remember on a flight to France in 2000 I watched some cartoon of a lion and a bird adventuring through the jungle. It had a very comic strip art style and was only vaguely memorable. I thought I had imagined it until @bitterkarella.bsky.social ‘s podcast episode about it and then my mind melted.

Hey who was that Australian person that got kinda popular for doing mashup remixes of Disney things, got to work with them in an official capacity, and then disappeared when they turned out to be a Nazi-adjacent or something? I feel like that set a precedent that should have been followed.
Some great new reaction images to use when people are obtuse on BlueSky.
Nintendo did not choose a "random" game to become the western Mario 2. According to @winwinirwin.bsky.social's great SMB2 book, Doki Doki Panic began as a prototype for a Super Mario Bros. sequel focused on block-stacking and vertical progression. more: thrillingtalesofoldvideogames.com/m4#50
![Text:
An early, in utero version of [Doki Doki Panic] began as a follow-up to their most successful yet: They were experimenting with a new Super Mario Bros. game. This one, however, would pay homage to the past, placing the goal not far down a horizontal path, but at the top of the level, just like Donkey Kong. Only this time, the world would extend beyond the top of the screen. ... But when Shigeru Miyamoto and a young developer named Kensuke Tanabe looked at this prototype, they felt something was off. Two characters stacked blocks on top of each other to progress ever-upward, but the screen only moved in single jarring swoops, shifting up once you approached the top, so that you’d begin again near the bottom.
Below, you see level 7-1 from Doki Doki Panic and SMB2 both, showing that a vestige of this original idea of block-stacking still exists in the final version of either game.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:jjqe7wq5t6iw6znq3cmidg6w/bafkreidygiazyvobha6cxyzp7t5t2taf74cesvtt4vma7emwm6ltrt6oo4)

Oh wow, that's a clean, crisp restoration. Especially for a 1985 animation! Every fingerprint on the clay, visible!
Animation Dad@animation350.bsky.social · 2w agoThe Adventures of Mark Twain is one of the strangest blank check movies in animation history. After making it big with the California Raisons, Will Vinton would use the profits to create this epic claymation film.

As bad as things are, at least we can take solace in the fact that Michael Bay isn't making Transformers movies anymore.

I wrote an Erysichthon joke, but I already used it on Tumblr and don’t want to self-cannibalize.

Cigarettes are a hard drug to me because nicotine is a weapon of capitalism. Many people can’t quit without other drugs. It kills them eventually. Non-users avoid active users. They’re soft because they’re relatively cheap and users don’t get very high—just temporarily slightly better at a job.
Genie Lauren@moreandagain.me · 3w agoNot just hard drugs. I've seen cigarettes completely unmake people, bit by bit.
Here are some things about the Junk Food Monster: 1. This image is from The Sesame Street Library 14. 2. JFM is not discussed in anywhere else. 3. These sculptures were made by Bonnie Erickson, who designed and/or built the original Miss Piggy, Fozzie, Statler, Waldorf, and Janice, among others.

As a resident of California I have nothing but empathy for the people of any locale experiencing this. Served with a side order of resentment that dystopian air quality and disturbing sky color was only taken seriously when it became an EST problem.

over the course of my life i've heard many many people say "it's too bad hitler didn't find success as an artist, maybe this could have all been avoided" and rowling really gives the lie to that
s. e. smith@sesmith.lol · 3w agoThe fact that J.K. Rowling successfully bullied Amnesty International into taking down a report that accurately called out her attack on trans people, especially trans women, is so repulsive and such a display of the power of her money, and her choice to put her vast fortune behind persecution.
