#strange boots
Choose a subtly magical item for your adventure:
A sword that never chips or grows blunt
A flint and steel that works first try every time
Boots that are always comfortable, and never fall apart
Socks that never get wet
A cloak that is always the perfect temperature
A bag that can fit a little more than it reasonably should be able to
Arrows that can never be lost or broken
A purse that can never be stolen
A compass that points to the nearest source of drinkable water

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.

Disney: Yeah, sorryy, we don't know how to make villains without queercoding them and people didn't like the twist-villains, so we stopped making them alltogether :( I hope you like 3593 intergenerational family-traumas!
Dreamworks, while creating not one, not two, but three amazing villains: Pathetic

I just came back from the cinematic watching “Puss in Boots: The Last Wish” (which is an amazing film, go watch it!) and I have to say I really love the current trend of animation film.
If I look at the most recent animation films we got like Encanto (2021), Turning Red (2022), Strange World (2022) and I also would argue Wendell & Wild (2022), they share all one big theme: trauma processing.
Some of these films have a big bad, but it is usually not the main focus. The focus lies mostly on the characters and how these work through their problems, showing how complex trauma is and how often trauma has been passed on from your own family. And in the end, the main characters usually are able to proccess it and finally break the cycle, redeeming the whole family with it in the most cases.
There is nothing wrong the classical “good against evil” story line but for me it feels like these are mostly rooted as form of escapism. Sometimes it is frustating to watch these films, knowning that the good ones will always win while in reality we are powerless against all the evil in the world.
Sometimes, it is better to change the perspective and focus on the things we actually can change, break the cycle of trauma in which a lot of people have been trapped and make the first step in the direction of a better life.
