Help me out here.
Pepe LePew is too offensive for the new Space Jam movie, but Speedy Gonzales isn't?
With the demise of Apu I thought we'd moved beyond cultural stereotypes in animation, no?
It certainly speaks to the arrogant ego of #Pixar employees that they are 'demoralised' at the prospect of their films going straight to Disney+ when their colleagues at Blue Sky don't even have a job any more.
@courtney My incomplete survey says Five Guys.
@ScribbleAddict Looks great!
it's St. Patrick's Day which means it's the perfect day to watch anything by Cartoon Saloon!

SuperTed coming back and Leo the Lion getting replaced by CGI. What a day.
@ScribbleAddict It's not possible, but if you ever get the chance, the Walt's People series of books edited by Didier Ghez is a treasure trove of first hand accounts and recollections. He's up to volume 25!
@ScribbleAddict This may be cliche but I'd want to work with Walt Disney if only to see what he was really like.
Don't mind if I do! Click through for pictures of the special cocktail versions at a cafe in Japan.

Reading through my blog posts from >10 years ago :blobthinkingeyes:
I watched #EarwigAndTheWitch again and liked it much more the second time around.
Knowing the approach that Goro Miyazaki took definitely helped.
I also see where @Scofisticated has concerns about Earwig's development, but I actually think the film is a clever twist on the norm. In most films, it's the kids that change while the parents remain static. This film turns the tables and has the parents developing instead.
