Holy cow, that's some really pretty box art. The one for Bee Movie is the only non-ugly Bee Movie thing I've ever seen.

Nico Marlet did some amazing concept art for it.

It sort of depends on what you think the Oscars are "for", but I would say Zootopia is the appropriate winner, and that if it hadn't come from Disney but from some no-name studio most people would be in agreement on that.

Yeah, Zootopia absolutely deserves the Oscar this year, but Kubo deserves the visual effect award. That would be the best outcome.

I agree, and think that would be most appropriate.

I get Kid Meal Toys aren't gonna be the best quality, but who looked at Jake and goes "That's good, make millions of those." It's not even remotely close to his overall color.

The sculpt is actually pretty good, it's a shame about the bland casting.

Right, but the point is that the grand arc of a lot of Japanese media can be read as 'it sucks to lose wars', especially when paired with pro-war media that supposes WWII is redone with some particular advantage for Japan that ensures they win this time round.

However, the grand arc of Studio Ghibli films is that war is pointless and bad for people. I think they're only responsible for their own output.

The only way I see live action Beauty and the Beast working is if it correctly identifies the witch who turned a kid into a beast man and all his house workers into objects as the true villain and burns her at the stake.

In Jungle Book reboot style, they'll make the world stupidly tiny by implying or stating it was Belle's mom.

The felt and scrapbook aesthetic permeating Trolls was great but the film had too much singing and dancing for me and by the end I was ready to enslave and eat them.

The film itself has an incredibly weird vibe. I hate to corrupt this place of high art with the vulgarity of memes, but it's basically this proposal:



The moment that cinched it for me is when Branch tells her that Creek is dead, and she says, "I don't think he's alive, I hope he's alive."

Especially since by the time she says, "I don't think he's alive--" your brain has already filled in yawnmaster autocomplete "I ~know~ he is" and it's like, nope, that is not Poppy's deal at all. She is entirely cognizant of the world being a senseless void, but it's all about assigning a positive spin to it. Her proposal seems to be "Let's be good and have fun until we die!"

I'd say that's closer to existentialism, where "created" meaning is valid enough since there's no inherent meaning.

Yes I'd agree, but then I'd have to go in there and edit that meme.

Finding Nemo has the world turn out to be a lot friendlier than Nemo's dad initially suggested; that is not the case for Trolls. Everything we see of the outside world makes it clear that it is dangerous and absurd and that the trolls themselves have very little control over it. Poppy never suggests that the outside world is good, only that she chooses to have a good attitude about its oppressive senselessness.

Among other things, the trolls have no magical powers aside from the manipulation of their hair. Other, much much larger animals are genuinely trying to murder the poo poo out of them constantly, and the Bergens do indeed feel a rush of ecstasy when they eat trolls alive. Again, it's a very unusual approach.
