I hope you’re right, Ben. We’ll wait & see.

Ultimately, animation isn’t really an auteur medium as any real authorship is in the writing, not the direction, so it doesn’t *really* matter who's actually calling the shots on I3 since Bird wrote it (and will be producing). The fact that he’s not directing *may* hold a clue, but I’m still surpri...

Impressive!!! Happy B-day AV
Thank you for your perseverance, excelent editorials, reviews, interviews, etc. and also all those captivating if „a little” nerdy discussions Please, carry on!

Too adorable! Love Wade's James Bond-esque attire.

Wow! It would look so much better animated in this 2D handamde illustration style 3D CGI i so literal and kinda bland trying to convey those abstract metaphores & concepts.

I just miss The Bad Guys on that list… Sadly it seems like nobody here (or there…) shares my enthusiasm regarding this entertaining and good looking DW animated gem… 😏🫤 You're not alone here my friend! https://animatedviews.com/2022/the-bad-guys-film/ Oh! Thank god, James! It’s good to have such a ...

...BTW Can you summarize your overall impression in one world/sentence before your review get published? It was pretty good. Nothing groundbreaking. But nothing terrible. Pretty by-the-numbers and straightforward story. Doesn't hold a candle to the Pixar golden age, but nothing does these days. Tha...

As veteran of quite a few propaganda-laden format wars, us old-school home-theater warriors caution against using European Blu/DVD/tech trends as early indicator of North American home-theater trends. Things like disc, Netflix and 4K/3D have a puzzling habit of not catching on over there, probably ...

Wow! It settles the argument then - Therefore I won the bet I’ve never made Still it always seemed the most logical option to me! Thank’s for the confirmation, James BTW Can you summarize your overall impression in one world/sentence before your review get published?

You’re looking good, K! ;) Good news! Looking forward to seeing the film on D+ at Crimbo, but will be getting the disc too. It’s been scientifically proved that keeping the same avatar for 20 years improves youthful appearance and longevity immensely ;) As for Encanto on disc - it’s sad to acknowle...

Tangled is unremarkable…!?

It’s a lot better than Frozen!

True that!

Wow, long time Kaszubas! Nice to see a face from the past. :) Yepp ;) I dropp by here sometimes ;) ...but checking the news (and views) frequently, just voicing my opinion once in a blue moon ;) Good to hear from you too :) Yes, definitely! :). It’s great to see you again Kaszubas! Yeah, I probably...

Great post Rand! :) Agree 100%. You summed up the situation really well. With so much line-blurring, the old definitions are losing their meaning. And an attempt to classify TLK '19 as one thing or another is doomed from the start. Yes, exactly. It’s truly a crazy time for “animation”, or at least ...
