Has anybody seen Marona’s Fantastic Tale? I just streamed it from a local theater and thought it was excellent. Absolutely loved how the art style reflected the world of a dog’s POV. Got some big cries out of me.

Not sure, it’s not in Aus either but maybe it’s available in a lot of south east Asia

I’m gonna mess around with VPN this weekend to try to find it, or otherwise see if I can get it by..... other means

I tried "other means" and it's not available on any of the places I usually use. Hope you have better luck than I did, this is a tough one to find.

Is it any good? I remember liking it, but I was a wee babe at the time and I basically liked anything with cartoon animals in it (this is still kind of true of adult me).

They made a spinoff TV series for everything in the 90s. I used to watch the Little Mermaid one. I most remember the song about the lobster mobsters. And the red tide.

I finally got to watch How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World a couple days ago. I have to say that DreamWorks makes loving gorgeous movies and I will absolutely see it again on a big screen if it comes up for second-run during these pandemic times (I've been literally in empty theatres for stuff like Tenet and New Mutants already). That said, as someone who watched the Netflix series I am kind of miffed that a large part of the plot revolved around "will they, won't they?" bullshit with Hiccup and Astrid, especially since most of the final season of Race to the Edge was resolving exactly that. It also seemed kind of insulting because in the second film they were acting very much like a couple so reseting and rebuilding all of that again for this film seemed like a really bad idea.

They could have still capped the series with the wedding but I feel that they could've made a better movie by just not having a hard reset on a relationship that had been established years ago

Neat. Sweet. Petite.

It's endemic to a lot of movies that they have to reset the relationship because writing a healthy pre-established relationship is soooooo hard.

Like say what you will about the Mummy Returns, I love that Rick and Evie are a happily married couple with a kid with zero hints of relationship troubles.

If Lassie went to hell for killing that man by freezing him to death and pushing him off a mountain than God deserved the rebellion against them.

I looked at Wikipedia on a hunch and it turns out that Toy Story turns 25 in three days., which seems like a momentous sort of occasion given how much of a game-changing film it was.

Animated movies handled the 3D leap far more gracefully than video games did.

Then again, Disney actually waited until the technology was mature to mandate that all their thatrical features must be CG.

My kid watched the Toy Story movies a bunch a for the past year or so and even though Toy Story one aged well, it is very sparse in the backgrounds. The models kind of move janky too. It’s still really impressive.

Ghost Leviathan

I think it helped that most of the well regarded early CG stuff built its premises around the concept. Toy Story makes relatively little use of humans, and them looking a little off does make some sense from the perspective of toys to which they are basically gods, and they used mostly nonhuman characters from then on until the technology was more refined. Similarly, Beast Wars doesn't have primary human characters at all, and Reboot's cast looking like contemporary video game characters make sense because that's what they more or less are. Even Zoids comes to mind as one early anime use of CG, exclusively for the titular giant animal mechs, which actually works really well. (Mind you, they clearly put a ton of work into it, I could go on about that)

Having rewatched them recently, Toy Story 1 is still quite good and the rest of them don't need to exist and I don't care for them.

It's a piece of JUNK!
Counterpoint: Toy Story 2 is a near-perfect example of how to do a sequel to a movie that didn't necessarily need a sequel. Expand on the concept in a logical way that doesn't undermine the original, but does introduce a little more complexity. Yes, the original is a more pure and self-contained story, but a sequel can't and shouldn't be that.

I will say none of them are quite as funny as I seem to have thought back in the day. They kind of got by on a general idea of "this ain't your grandma's Disney movie" and I guess also that very '90s style of "irreverence" directed at nobody in particular. But obviously there's a lot more to them than just comedy, so that's okay.

Counter-counterpoint: Toy Story 1 is best in the context of woody not being special and never being Andy's favorite again, as it underscores the power of one of my favorite scenes ever, when woody finally has to articulate that Buzz is a better toy and Andy's right to love him more.
