#the visuals are visualing

Rati and Thee going back and forth about erasing Désolé (French for "sorry") from the board which rests between them as Thee continues to apologize to Rati for not telling him who he is while standing in front of the Thai word for "sorry" (ขอโทษ) which is also written on the board to reinforce that they are not representatives of their nations but simply two friends (who love each other).

That was the visual equivalent of a five-course meal at a Michelin-starred restaurant.

Since we keep getting "live action" CGI remakes of already perfectly adequate animated movies, and because people need to understand that animation is a medium and not a genre, I have prepared this primer about the importance of Visual Language for Conveying Information.

Can you tell what the personalities of these two mice are?

Can you tell now?

Which of these two tigers feels safer to be around?

Which of these three dogs is the funniest one?

If you can answer these questions, then you already have experience with the idea of visual language and stylistic choices being used to impart narrative meaning. If you can understand why these choices were made to impart meaning, then you can understand why animation is a medium for telling stories that has its own inherent value, and is not merely a "placeholder" for the eventual implementation of photorealistic presentation (aka "Live Action" CGI). Animation does not need to be "corrected" or "legitimized" by remaking it into the most representational simulation of observable reality.

Echidna warriors are inclined to let the youngsters in their tribe win small battles to encourage confidence. They are also inclined to humble those who boast too much confidence lol.

I don't know what the hell that coded conversation he had with Jin was about, but I do know that Cir's entire world is nothing but darkness.

And there is only a tiny sliver of light that shines through when he speaks to Phu.

This boy is all the light in Cir's dark world.

So I'm about to forgive Cir for everything he has possibly done because the visuals are visualing, and they are telling me Cir is always being watched like an animal in a cage as his mom puts it.

He is always alone and isolated.

He has never been allowed to let the light in.

He is caged in.

And even the exits are really just bars to imprison him.

Caging a dog that has tasted freedom will make it suffer more.

He is running out of time.

And no matter how this goes down, it's going to hurt Phu.

Keep your secrets.

'Cause I already forgave Cir regardless.

Can i also point out how freaking funny is that Telemachus went on a "diplomatic" mission, only to return cosplaying as Athena to kill the suitors?

Telemachus: "im going to kill those bastards"

Athena: "no not dressed like that"

Telemachus: "ok better?"

Athena: "yes bitch slay"

Thankyou all so much for following along. The outpouring of support and care for the artists behind the art has been really heartening throughout this whole process. Not to be cringe but I honestly think this medium captures the human spirit better than any other form of expression, so I know whatever the future brings for us we’ll be able to weather it for that reason alone. 🕊️
