How is no one talking about the GORGEOUSELY hand painted the backgrounds for The Boy and The Heron are. Every tiny detail. Every wisp of light streaming through the windows. All of it so beutiful rendered in water color. Like a children's book come to life. Look im all for glossy hyper relistic backgrounds but WOW. Wow did this movie remind you that all of that is a hand drawn craft. In the best way possible.

British Museum Under Pressure To Return Looted Hello Kitty Phone Case To Chinese National Personification
LONDON—Facing numerous calls for the institution to finally make amends for historical wrongs, the British Museum was under pressure Tuesday to return a looted Hello Kitty phone case to its original owner, the national personification of the People's Republic of China. “It is long past time for the British Museum to atone for its sins and return this novelty Hello Kitty phone case to its rightful home encasing my Huawei P60 Pro,” said Yao Wang, the national personification, noting that the British Museum had not even issued a formal acknowledgement of the fact that the British national personification Arthur Kirkland had stolen the phone case in the shape of the popular anthropomorphic cat character in 2015, with the assistance of former Queen Elizabeth II. “That Hello Kitty phone case, beyond being an integral part of Chinese culture, is a symbol of the economic and physiological abuse the Chinese people been forced to endure at the hands of British colonialism. It is unconscionable that the museum would withhold these socially significant and important kitschy accessories from the young women (and thousands years old personifications) to whom they belong.” At press time, the British Museum was facing increased criticism after claiming Wang would not be able to properly care for the prized Hello Kitty phone case.

I never was able to find out why China has a larger version of this statue of Lincoln, but it's cool that it exists.
