I will say at least Strange world introduced me to electric swing music....

Call me pessimistic conspiracy theorist, but I do truly believe that there is a very real subsection of the big budget animation industry that specifically caters to parents who don't like their children and just want something to keep them quiet for an hour and a half. These parents probably won't even watch these movies with their kids, but if their kids watch a movie where the parents actually learn that they should treat their children like people, the kids watching the movie might start expect the same from THEIR parents. And the parents who bought the movie are NOT going to like that. That's why so many of them have this tone of "The only reason it SEEMS like your parents suck is because it SUCKS to be a parent. I'm sure they actually love you and are perfectly justified in their poor parenting." The parents don't even have to do anything. All they have to do is sit back and let their kids internalize that unhealthy family dynamics are normal. (Keep in mind that everyone benefitting from this is likely having all of these thoughts with about twelve layers of denial because we do live in a society that cares about LOOKING like a good parent).

Jello why didn't you like Encanto? I thought it was really good

Ultra

I’m still tickled by “He is—one of us! He has [ALWAYS] been one of us!”

Folkloric

If you count Pixar I’d say the last great Disney film was Coco

I haven’t watched the wild robot, but from the sounds of it and the reviews, it sounds like a really good media literacy level up movie where like the 1000000+ people who watched it where like “wow theming and emotion” and in 3-4 years time the will sit down to watch it as a fun rewatch and go “ohhh this was bad the whole time… oh no”

Jello for the Love of All that is good don't watch hop. I remember hating it even as a child who had no goddamn standards. Awful.

OH GOD NOT HOP hop is the only easter movie to ever be made, which means that you get to watch it in class every year between the ages of 4 and 13. it is an unwatchable movie. i HATE it. makes sense tho cus its remarkably illumination-like (DEROGATORY)

PurpleIsDebeste

That happens one (1) time

I really don't think anything can make me watch Kpop demon hunters, no matter how good I hear it is. Cause every clip I saw of it they'd make one of those over exaggerated faces. Specifically the one of the dark haired girl sniffing a sushi roll. I usually don't care about stuff like that, but there's something about the way specifically this movie animated it really skeeved me out.

I personally really enjoyed Flow, and I’m glad it got worldwide praise. It showed that an indie movie with long shots and no dialogue can resonate with so many people. I'm happy to see parents bring their kids to watch it, and there was a statistical increase in cat adoptions because of the movie. It's just nice that the success did universal good, even if there are flaws with the movie. When watching it, I guess I was more interested in the shots and animal animations, rather than water physics. Some shots with the water do look rough, but overall I still liked the way the movie looked. And what you said about the plot is valid. This may decrease your opinion on the film, but I watched Flow at a director QnA screening. He said that many parts of the film (like the bird flying in heaven scene) was intentionally open to interpretation. So that’s why parts of the plot may feel disconnected or “wait, wha?”. For some people they may despise that way of writing, but I guess I didn't mind as much for Flow. And yeah, I completely agree with your take on Wild Robot. I hated how sanitized the wilderness is. The winter scene especially infuriated me. Am I supposed to take this seriously? For a movie about a robot leaving an Amazon-like institution that’s customer-friendly all the time. The wilderness, and its denizens, felt the same to me, but with a different color palette. Maybe I’m reading too much into that aspect, but I dunno it made me wish I was watching Wall E or even Bambi instead. Also, as someone who’s watched Hop multiple times because it would be on tv often, it is one of most aggravating modern movies you could watch. It's the lowest rated Illumination movie on Letterboxd. So, uh, have fun with that.

It's not often you see a "wishes are good and everyone should have theirs fulfilled" story. Most of the time it's either "be careful what you wish for" or "there is one wish, deathmatch for it".

I refuse to give KPop Demon Hunters any more thought than they put into the entire demon aspect of the world and characters - which is to say about 5 minutes worth - but my pettiest of grievances with the movie is it doing the whole "And then the skinny girls eat a shit-ton of food!" joke. I am fully aware it is more or less just a one-off gag, but while being inundated with gifs of that exact scene on social media with text about it being "so endearing that girls are allowed to be weird", I just keep thinking about how people only find that endearing because these characters are skinny and conventionally pretty. Especially with how that aspect ties into the glamourisation of one of the worst sectors of the entertainment industry that is famous for putting its entertainers on severe and harmful diets to keep up appearances. I dunno. If you wanna do that gag at least make one of your "intended to be attractive" characters fat you cowards. KPOP is like a 6-7/10 movie to me but it's a 6-7/10 that always invites a groan when I am reminded of its existence, purely for petty things like that. Also give your movie a fucking title this movie is two steps removed from being titled like a Homestuck joke.
