Boss Baby is pretty artistic in parts which I appreciated. I don't see myself watching it again soon but it has some good laughs. I like a lot about Smallfoot, as noted, (and the lighting is great!) I just wish the style wasn't immediately dated.

I still can't get over The Boss Baby's horrible, horrible face. I can't watch the movie at all, honestly.

I recently rewatched Ice Age 2 with my son by his request. (his first time) I liked Ice Age 2 when I first saw it, but watching it now...I don't think it's a very good movie. It feels like it's just a series of short set pieces interrupted by Scrat.....Or maybe Scrat's journey interrupted by a series of set pieces of other animals. Somehow it's not really coherent I guess. My son obviously loved it.

Ice Age 2 was weird cause the romance with Manny and uh... queen latifa felt so forced. The argument on the teetering rocks was quite good though. Ice Age 3 is even more unnecessary but the Australian weasel is fun

In the second movie the Possum Brothers steal the show. My son will probably want to see the third movie at some point as well. Watching this movie I'm not surprised the Ice Age franchise dried up.

I’m all for a Hanna-Barbera cinematic universe if they just go off the deep end immediately. Like the mid-credits scene of Scoob is setting up the Hair Bear Bunch meet the Funky Phantom and no one has any idea what is going on.

Ok now I've also watched Smallfoot and I get why Pick loves it, that's probably one of the tightest plotting/themings that I've seen in any recent animated movie. And the music loving rocks.

The music is great (expect for the AWFUL Under Pressure... thing the main character sings), and Let It Lie is very cool both as a song and visually. The first song Perfection is just a good time. I thought everything else was just kind of okay though. It was a fine movie but that's really it. I wish the yetis had a more interesting look to them. There was that one character thought that is just awful and annoying for the sake of being annoying and he's not even funny, he's just the most annoying character in the history of the world and Smallfoot creators I gotta be real: Acknowledging how lovely and annoying the character is doesn't make him less annoying!

I just watched Smallfoot. I liked the double meanings in "Let it Lie" and "The stones protect us (not just the stones of the robe, but also the complicated series of stone machinery making the steam)"

I know enough to know the show was really self-aware. I just want audiences today to experience the weird fever dream that was Cartoon Network’s 2:00 am dumping ground pre-Adult Swim.

My takeaway from all marketing materials is that the theme this time is a lot simpler and less universal but still credible and a good fit: that all types of music are good, and that integrating them is also cool and makes good & new kinds of music.

What was the theme of the first one? It's OK to feel sad and sometimes you need outside help (medication) to deal with it right?

What I liked is how they almost immediately make sure you see that Branch isn't just being ridiculous or paranoid about the Bergen. They pretty quickly are like "the Bergen are actually quite dangerous, and Poppy is wrong to do this crazy rave party" so Branch pretty early on is seen as reasonable instead of just the crazy conspiracy fun police.

I think that's key. I think a lot of people who haven't seen it assume the theme is "Branch is wrong and Poppy is right, party down!" but it's more careful than that; "Branch is completely right that the world is dangerous and that they're all in danger, but Poppy is right that they have to be able to live full lives because the part about danger will never end" so it's more of a compromise than I think some people expect. She does cop to the party etc being a horrible idea and that she was wrong to do it.

there's an animated short that's one of my favorite ever about a little ghost girl who finds some tapdancing shoes, and it's so loving good from an animation standpoint and the way it shifts focus on who's "controlling" the shoes at any given moment, I've gushed about it many times before so I won't again, but it's this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byAfC5yW_hw&hd=1 and the animator is I guess making an indie platformer based on it. like, sure, okay, why not, but also, it's very cute, especially when she uses flippers to fly.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcVicFIjCH4&hd=1

It seems like each genre has its own style so the country trolls look like centaurs, the funk trolls are like the giraffe guy from the first one, and glitter trolls may be hiphop. So hip-hop has been around, because Guy Diamond was in the first film. I think Poppy just didn't know about any other communities and didn't realize there was anything outside of pop, which again, probably plays in to the theme.

BTW I, at least, was really excited for Disney's "The Owl House". The promo artwork was pretty good and the premise was cool, the setting was great. Somehow I missed it on my radar, but I managed to see it got released! Can anyone explain to me why it immediately veered into some incredibly derivative anime tween Hogwarts? What the gently caress? It's like two shows in one, and one is ok, and the other is excruciating.

The woman with white hair is literally based off a character from one of the shows that helped define the harem anime genre. (Ryoko from Tench Muyo for those curious.)
