Looks like it's going to be kind of a weak year for animation compared to 2023. Nothing was ever going to complete with a lineup headlined by Miyazaki and Spiderverse, but drat.

Lying on your resume is usually a great idea, but it is possible to overshoot.

Finally got around to watching Elemental as I work through some Oscar nominees. I feel pretty conflicted about it.

So many elements of the movie are great. I really loved some of the gags. Wade accidentally magnifying his name tag by trying to cover it up was great. The mom running down the stairs in a wide shot was great. Got a good laugh at the "So You're Being Shut Down" flyer. The movie delivered comedically much more than I expected. I also thought the romantic chemistry was really successful, and that's a cool thing you don't get a ton in animation. Visually, it was pretty impressive.

It is a shame the central metaphor of the movie is so untenable that everything is brought down by it. I don't think it's a bad movie, but it is definitely not a great movie. The awful premise really drags it down.

Wow that feels sudden.

Moana is so great. I'm pretty skeptical about a sequel.

Finally got around to watching Nimona, and what do you know, it was great. I appreciated how they were really varied and clever with the animation. The subway tile sequence was lovely. I think there was one somewhat rushed, whiplash inducing plot sequence, but it held together thematically. Quite funny too.

I know the post is old but I wanted to ask: this is about the original mario movie, right?

CD-i Zelda and Mario games, surely.

I would have given the Oscar to Spiderverse, but I can't get angry about Heron getting it. It was a great movie, and Ghibli deserves more Oscars.
