I find it so refreshing that we are in this rare stage in western animation where disney is actually not monopolizing all the attention. If anything, 2022 has been one of their worse years yet in the animation department. Everything they have done has been completely eclipsed by other studios for once. Their Pinocchio "movie" was just obliterated by Guillermo del Toro's version. Strange World was completely forgotten because of poor marketing choices, allowing Dreamworks to come back with the Bad Guys and Puss in Boots, the first being very good and the second absolutely excellent (I'm being serious, this movie is SO MUCH MORE than a simple Shrek spin-off).
TMNT even got its time to shine with probably the best 2D animated film this year (in a technical aspect at least), rekindling an interest for the entire franchise (with another TMNT movie by Seth Rogen in production!!)
The Sea Beast was amazing. Wendell & Wild was a masterclass. 2022 has just been excellent throughout, and it's Disney that happens to be the weakest at the moment. Even the Minions 2 got more attention than most things that came out on Disney + Animation this year (not saying that the movie was great or anything, but it's saying a lot)
And when we look at the next Pixar movie coming out next year, the hype pales in comparison to the Mario movie, and let's not even TALK about Across the Spiderverse......everybody knows it's going to snatch everyone's wig, and all the awards under the sun to match it.
So yeah, western animation gets to breathe a little, and it feels amazing.

[image ID: two images of rise leo, the top one is from the series. he has a mischievous grin on his face with his hand on his chin. a tweet overlays the image and reads: “me (young, naive): i hope something good happens.” the second image is also of rise leo, from the rottmnt movie. leo still has a smile on his face and his hand on his chin, but he’s sweating nervously. the second part of the tweet overlays the image, reading: “me (now): i hope whatever bad thing happens is at least funny.” end image ID]

So I've been reading a lot of post-movie fic lately and I got inspired ! (one sketch is totally based on something I read but I just can't remember which fic it was, dang it) Anyway, I love reading people's own version of how the turtles recover after the movie.
