Gravity Falls getting censored, TOH getting shortened, Amphibia getting censored by Disney and having iffy promotion, and now TGAMM getting cancelled and not promoted properly.... D*sney isn't hiding how much they don't give a fuck about their animated shows, huh?

#LET ME CLARIFY THAT I'M GRATEFUL THAT THESE ALL GOT TO END PEACEFULLY (sorta); I JUST HATE CORPORATIONS #i don't think they ever cared but i'm just bitter right now #IMO i think the next show to get treated like shit will be Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur :(#animation is for everyone #animation is cinema #toh #amphibia #gravity falls #tgamm #the owl house #the ghost and molly mcgee #fuck disney

Someone brought up the lack of scope people have in regards to the 'Animation is Cinema' sentiment. Or, how people who make those tweets or posts always point out the same four American CGI movies.

So, with that in mind, let me offer:

Millennium Actress (2001)

WolfWalkers (2020)

Persepolis (2007)

When the Wind Blows (1986)

Please feel free to add any other strong pieces! Remember, try to aim for animated films that are either traditionally animated or a from foreign (specifically not Disney/Disney-affiliated) studios.

#Animation #animation is cinema #fun fact: the first of these will destroy you in a feel good way #and the last of these will destroy you in a miserable way!#yay for the vast array of emotional and interpersonal depths that can be expressed #via the MEDIUM of animation

it's really quite fascinating to see those official catch up videos for the ahsoka show not having a single frame of clone wars or rebels in them. them trying to promote this show, whose main character is someone who had like 95% of her story told through animated shows, and also serves as a direct sequel to rebels, another animated show, without ever even refering said animated shows is just such a weird move. it's almost like they're embarassed by the animated projects and afraid it will throw people off, when they had a chance to actually lead new viewers into discovering the amazing stories told in clone wars and rebels. it's a shame to see how animation is still treated like the inferior art form.

#ahsoka #star wars rebels #lucasfilm #animation #star wars the clone wars #animation is cinema #stop treating animation like this #do yourself a favor and watch star wars rebels because it's amazing

THIS

This is the version of Thrawn I craved for years, an here he finally is.

Maybe (probably not) disney will go a step more and gives uns an animated adaptation of the Thrawn novels.

I personally prefer animatet shows and series over live action, in every aspect. In animation you can literaly do whatever you want, create places, creacures and spieces without them standing out or feeling off compere to the actors. Live action is very limitated.

Follow up to cringe culture essay: animated film edition

My post about cringe culture, fandoms, and kids media, which you can read here, briefly mentioned how outsiders mock animation fans for using animated kids shows to say that animation is for everyone. I want to follow up on that point.

I had the displeasure of seeing an awful post on my Twitter timeline that went “the ‘animation IS cinema’ people always pick the dweebiest movies to make their argument. Just post Beavis and Butt-Head Do America guys, nobody would disagree” Wow okay mr edgelord. You sound like a stereotypical Disney Channel bully.

The ‘animation is cinema’ image comes from The Mitchells vs the Machines, which is a family-friendly movie that many hold up as a good example of an animated movie, and how animation is for everyone. This gets mocked by outsiders (usually snooty Letterboxd types) who think that this movie uses the “Grubhub art style” or some BS like that. As you can see, people who act like that think animation is only for children, and plug their ears and go LALALA when you bring up good animated kids’ films with mass appeal. Whether you like it or not, animation always has and always will be cinema.

This brings us to another problem: a lack of mainstream adult animated films. Thanks to the stigma that animation is only for children, we never get mass-marketed animated movies for adults these days, and any movies that ARE for adults are only shown at art house theaters. Sausage Party was a mass-marketed adult movie, but it alienated its audience with its crass humor and kiddie appearance (Silly Rabbit, CGI animation is for kids! /s)

I feel like if adult animated films were marketed more, they would reach a wider audience. As much as I love Mitchells and most of Pixar’s output, animation fans should definitely check out movies specifically aimed at adults. Expand your palate a bit. It’s okay to watch kids stuff, and it’s okay if you only like kids stuff, but adult animation needs to be appreciated more, since it suffers a stigma that it’s all low-brow, poorly animated, offensive comedy.

ADULT ANIMATED FILMS TO CHECK OUT:

Beavis and Butthead Do America (as well as Beavis and Butthead Do the Universe) - These are more teen movies then adult movies, and they are low brow, but they do it (badumtsh) in the best possible way

Heavy Metal (1981)

Watership Down*

Fantastic Planet

Akira

Ghost in the Shell

Perfect Blue

Paprika

The End of Evangelion

Urusei Yatsura 2: Beautiful Dreamer

Princess Mononoke*

Princess (2006 danish movie)

The Plague Dogs

Entergalactic

The works of Ralph Bakshi

I Lost My Body

The Spine of Night

Pink Floyd - The Wall

The Prince of Egypt*

*these are technically aimed at kids, but I mean it when I say that they deserve higher ratings and feel more adult than family-friendly

Feel free to add more suggestions

EDIT: Bringing this back because Twitter is hating on animation once again, and acting like snobs by saying that Puss in Boots is bad. ANIMATION AIMED AT CHILDREN IS STILL CINEMA. CHILDRENS ≠ BAD. I hate Letterboxd bros

this is it, I'm at my limit now.

of all the countless classics you could've remade, y'all decided to choose the one that doesn't even qualify as a classic, one that's still SEVEN FUCKING YEARS OLD fresh off the minds of today's generation, one that actually touched my heart and had me wishing we'd get a sequel or series like they did with Frozen, Tangled, Big Hero 6, and Zootopia.

BUT NOPE.

it's official, Disney does not give a flying fuck about animation, not even their newer 3D ones, because really they only care about Marvel, Star Wars, live-action remakes, and James Cameron's sci-fi white savior power fantasy franchise because they're the ones giving them money, albeit not much since their stocks have been going down lately

so, I'm out. Eat your heart out, Disney.

#disney #live action remake #the little mermaid live action #moana #anti disney #anti marvel #anti mcu #anti james cameron #james cameron avatar #walt disney company #animation is for everyone #animation is not a genre #animation is cinema #I hope Sony and DreamWorks and Japan fuck you up #disney critical #disney criticism

i think most webtoons should be left alone and away from corporate executives, however IF they start making some more tv show adaptions of webtoons, they should all be animated shows because every time a live action adaption of a webtoon has been made, they all suck, and also because animation FUCKS HARD
