Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron:

I was a Horse Girl TM, so I watched this movie a million times as a kid. It's honestly the best horse animation I've ever seen, all the backgrounds are gorgeous, and the soundtrack is incredible. Also the plot is anti-colonial/anti "taming of the west". Genuinely cannot pick a favorite scene, but I love the scene where Spirit commits many acts of violence against the US military <3

horsie :) I love how they use actual horse body language instead of just turning them into a dog. Also enjoy how the protags are easily understandable with just body language and neighs. Also the 2d and 3d animation blend seamless.

I cannot begin to tell you what makes this movie so good. It's a corner stone of animated media. The societal commentary. The incredible emotion of not only the story but the animation. The songs. Sound the Bugle makes me cry every time.

This movie was a key part of my childhood and “Sound the Bugle” still makes me tear up.

This is like the greatest horse movie of all time and I will not change my mind. I watched this movie so many times as a kid that both the VHS and first cd I had for it got ruined and we had to replace it with another cd LOL. I once convinced my teacher to let us watch it in class because it had a few scenes with Native Americans and we were learning about them at the time(It's about the old west and the expansion of the United States westward so it has some Native American characters but def not enough to make it a Native American film, but it does have positive representation I think?) The main character is the horse Spirit, a lead stallion for a herd of mustangs. His thoughts are narrated but he doesn't actively talk and the horse behaviors are pretty realistic, also the ART of it all, James Baxter was one of the lead animators for this film and his work is incredible, and hand done. Some of the behind the scenes stuff in the extras makes the animation look 3d its so good, and the camera work is also insane. As a horse obsessed child this movie was a staple for me, and I prefer it even over live action movies with actual horses. ALSO THE SOUNDTRACK OH MY GODDD how can I almost forget, the soundtrack for this movie goes so hard, I used to use some of the songs as hype music not even lying.

The Mitchells vs. the Machines:

It’s in its core about family, how we can drift and argue. Not because of one true fault, but because we are different. It shows how being weird and different don’t make you less of a family while not demonizing people who do have more stereotypical ‘perfect’ families. I think it portrays our humanity and the way we bond and what we do for those we love, what we sacrifice, so well. It’s so funny and so sweet.

It's funny and the family is neurodivergent and it's just really nice v good time it looks like anti technology at first but its clearly more of a criticism on capitalism I just really like that movie its pretty to look at.

It's funky!!! hang on, bullet point list time: - has such a unique and expressive animation style - has a lot of pop culture references that don't really feel overbearing - has honestly one of the best family dynamics in a movie I've seen???? - realistic characters!!! with realistic and interesting character arcs!!! - absolutely hilarious. makes me laugh every time i watch it :) - comedic villain! gotta love me one of those. also she's badass for a smartphone so - tHERE ARE FURBIES - basically it's very chaotic but also heartwarming, and it's honestly my favourite movie :D

Heartwarming story about family! Also kickass animation

Very good stylized animation. Well written and designed characters. Super funny and sooo heart warming. Fucking rad action scenes (again the animation is fantastic). The story comes together well, it's just quite well written. + Protective dad character who's not annoying as hell (that's rare!). I love every part of when they're at the dinosaur museum thing.

“Cell Block Tango”, but if it were evil AI from different fandoms?

Ok, think about “Cell Block Tango”, but this is AI from games/cartoons/movies who is offended by their creators and killed/tried to kill them(or not, but). Mechanized, unemotional, cynical, but offended version. Some HAL 9000, GLaDOS, Wheatley, Ultron, or maybe PAL, P03. Some other non-humans. Any AIs that fit in one way or another, I can't remember many of them, I'm sure there are more. I don't know why, I just think it would be very funny. I mean, AI in movies and games often looks like offended sometimes jealous dudes, ready to kill for it? And they often like passive aggression, turning into violent things. And all this in a robotic voice. It's weird and fun fits at the same time. It's just some my weird thoughts.

"The Mitchells vs. The Machines": Danny McBride plays the Dad of a queer kid, but that's not the source of their conflict.

Just a few years ago, there were no openly identified gay characters in any children's or family movie or tv series, ever. Then, gradually they began appearing, in quick, blink-and-you miss it scenes: two dads drop off their son for a sleepover, a boy has a rainbow flag on his wall. More often than not, they still refuse to Say the Word, leaving the "lies, secrets, and silence" intact. I heard that The Mitchells vs. the Machines was different: it doesn't try to hide the fact that protagonist Katie is gay.

Creator/director Mike Rianda noticed that he was basing Katie's character on queer people. He knew that the studio bigwigs wouldn't allow non-heterosexual people to exist, so he made Katie gay without telling them. Then animator Lizzie Nichols wrote them a "heartfelt" letter: "We do not want to silence ourselves for fear of a bigoted few. We have to be on the side of what is right and just." There was some pushback and some "very nervous people," but in the end they agreed.

So let's see how they reveal Katie's queerness to the viewers.

My review is on Righteous Gemstones Beefcake and Boyfriends.

{11 & 12} Gasping and panting here are some movies! I've been reorganizing a bunch of stuff in between drawing today and yesterday, and I didn't really leave enough time for the drawing. But my place is looking great. I mean, it's still a mess right now, but it will be great.

The Mitchells Vs. The Machines

“The Mitchells Vs. The Machines” has a super strong emotional core with great visuals, but bogs itself down with random dated internet humor.

Katie Mitchell has always been sort of an outcast. Movies have always been there for her and sparked a passion for filmmaking at a very young age. She works hard to get accepted into a film school in California and actually gets in. Her father, Rick, just doesn’t understand Katie’s hobbies and passions. He’s somewhat against technology and wants Katie to have a backup plan in case her dreams fail. After a heated argument, Rick decides to cancel Katie’s plane ticket to drive to her new college as a family. The only problem is, a robot uprising happens during their road trip.

I had one crazy rollercoaster ride with this movie. Right off the bat, the character of Katie wins me over by being a movie fan. I know it’s a bit biased to say that, but this is one of the few times where I related to a character so much that it was hard not to get attached. If anything, it’s a testament to how authentic they portrayed Katie as a movie fan because the writers didn’t make her feel like a superficial movie fan. There are deep-cut references in her short films, in her room, and even on her clothes. The dynamic she has with her family is something I believe to be universally relatable, so this movie was speaking to me on a more personal level. I love the art style used in this movie because it breathes personality, specifically from Katie herself. It’s awesome to see Sony Animation be able to push the animation medium with works like this and “Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse”. These films are not only visually innovative, but also have stories that compliment the visuals perfectly. I love the understanding that Katie and her father reach by the end of the movie because it’s genuinely heartwarming. While Rick started off as almost an irredeemable antagonist, he earns back his goodwill by not doubling down on his actions and actually starts being receptive to change. Trust me, I was ready to not like this movie just because of how dense Rick was acting in the first half of the movie. I think the only problem that I had with this movie was the random internet humor that just popped out of nowhere throughout. It just feels like a cringe attempt at the filmmakers characterizing a generation of people they don’t understand fully. Still, the actual attempts at jokes were really strong and still deliver the much-needed comedy. All in all, I think this is still a movie that’s worth watching. It has its heart in the right place and is super strong with its themes and messages.

★★★★

I’m loving the more artistic approach to 3D animation, and how each movie that utilizes the method does so in a different way with different inspirations behind it. Keep it up!

The Evolution of Style in 3D Film

I wanted to show how much theatrical animation has changed in the last few years. Incorporating 2D elements has always been attempted but was rare and went unnoticed. That’s not the case anymore with more adopting it, anime too!
