Yeah, but I get where K.Waste is coming from. He abuses his power as Judy's boss and holds racist personal beliefs even when they get in the way of doing his job, while that picture implies that he also abuses his power against minorities.

Right. The worst behavior we actually witness between a high ranking police officer and a civilian is about the former's insensitivity to a grieving widow, but the implication from the very opening debriefing scene is that there really is a problem with violence in Zootopia, mostly marginalized from the explicit narrative, which has no relationship to night howler. He simultaneously needs to be this imposing, authoritarian figure to maintain a strict constructionist order of criminal justice, but this means that he's also very bureaucratic in his behavior, thinking in terms mainly of time and resources. He's weary and afraid of something just as the grieving widow is. Again, the problem is insensitivity, which prevents Bogo from seeing that Bellweather is a 'bully,' this cartoon figure who is straightforwardly conspiring to begin a racist coup.

The point is that Bogo is wrong because of what he simply doesn't do, which leads in some domino effect to what Bellweather does do, in a sci-fi criminal conspiracy, disassociated completely from any much more straightforwardly oppressive figure - which would be the cops. Insights into the development of the film illustrate that this was initially going to be a much more particularist cop film, with much more straightforward depictions of police behaving oppressively.

So there's a Sly Cooper TV series coming out, I think that pretty much means the movie's been cancelled.

not surprised with how Ratchet and Clank bombed, and given Sly Cooper would've had the same director.

Hello, all! I am starting several podcasts next week under the Jesse Hecht CREATIVE umbrella. One of them is a Disney podcast that goes over most of the Disney Animated films with a few deviations (Star Wars, Mary Poppins, Pete's Dragon) and I'm looking for commentators to lend their critical eyes and (mouse) ears to the cause. If interested please reply or message me. The more the merrier.

Thank you for reading and thank you for your help. :)

Is that money-barrel robot a character? It seems to show up too many times in the opening to just be a baddie-of-the-episode.

Neat. Sweet. Petite.

It looks like a big, barrel version of Gyro Gearloose's helper bot, so it's probably something of his (and subtly showing he's in the new series)

EDIT: on the opening itself - love how they use chasing the number one dime as a way to connect the scenes, good translation of some classic comic scenes, and it's going to be really interesting to see how the Duck family dynamic works with Donald doing more than show up for a few cameos - already with the flying dutchman he's immediately throwing life jackets on the triplets while Scrooge and Launchpad are manning the helm.

Man, I really like the original theme song. The new one is similar, but has waaay too much du-dun-du-dun-du-dun heavy beats and I love the brass in the original plus the guy is really emoting when he screams out the lyrics.

Don't forget the atrocious art style in the Sly Cooper trailer. A cel-shaded animated movie could've been cool, but instead they apparently had the models designed by nearsighted people watching the game played on a TV from the 1960's .

Thanks, Hedrigall for once again, making me laugh.

Serious note, though, I'm actually excited for Cars 3. Wasn't much of a fan of Cars and Cars 2, but the California Adventure sneak peek made this seem worth the watch.

He didn't like Penguins of Madagascar.

I don't disagree with anything else, but man...how can you not like Penguins? It's the best animated romp since Emperor's New Groove.

I mean, I already disagreed with him on some Disney movies (he didn't like Oliver and Co. or The Rescuers Down Under, whereas I did), and I disagree with his take on Mr. Peabody and Sherman here, so there's that.

I'm thus far really pleased with the changes they're making for the female characters. They come across as modern, but not pandering. It's also nice they're adding individual character traits to Huey, Dewey and Louie to make them more dynamic. The "twins are the same character twice" thing is lazy as gently caress. It's even more obnoxious with triplets. Anything past that loses human identity entirely and becomes a hive-mind litter. :v:

Quack Pack went with individualizing the triplets, but the totally radical direction and subpar writing canned that series. Course the comics they're pretty much identical to the point the artists lose track and would accidentally draw in a 4th duck ("Phooey")

It is difficult for me to envisage an animated film less appealing to the user base here that isnt an unabashed 90 minute attempt to convert people to christianity through a reedited cut of the film Delgo.
