Saving this one btw. This One Is crazy. Insta hall of fame

[borrowingtheborrower]

The gt community has some serious problems and i genuinely feel like everyone Is blind in here. Racism and dehumanization is literally so widespread. Everyday i'll read people refer to other PEOPLE with merely different cultural customs as "feral" and "wild". Everyones favorite trope Is the White savior and White mans burden. "Tinies" are talked about as if they are actually animals, they live miserable lives that the "civilized" humans saves them from. If tinies are in trouble, no problem a single human Will come in and save all of them. Pet trope resolution is a human buys a slave and later realizes they are actually a person. Or the slave appeals to their suppressors and "oh actually these tinies aren't so bad" and they're all friends. Or straight up someone being owned as property is actually fine and cute. "Darker themes" in here are literal race play. There's no nuance, no respect no nothing. Dehumanization is a fun little trope. All of these things are said and thought in absolutely honesty by users here. Boundaries are an absolutely alien concept in here. I'm into size difference but never referred myself as part of the gt group, however i had my characters added to a gt tournament without my permission. Absolutely uncalled for comments. No my character Is not a tiny. Artists are treated as content farmers. So many times i've seen people beg others to stop sending shit asking them abt requests. There's things that are absolutely not sfw here that get shared as such. There's no Need for there to be a dick and a ball for It to be nsfw, your fic where a tiny guy pisses themself, gets tortured twelve chapters straight or Is treated like a pet Is not sfw of fluff. Get outta here

One last additional color script and trailer similarity.

Tink and Vidia seem to have their argument inside this building.

Have Y'all ever seen the first Trailer for Tinkerbell and the great fairy rescue that includes a scrapped version of the movie?

Lizzy is the villian and her dad is nowhere to be seen instead Lizzy has his same motivations to bring the museum into this and capture fairies.

Vidia and Tink were gonna go at it in this movie, Tink was like genuinely mad and it makes me wonder why?

this version of the movie was probably too sad for kids but honestly it always confused me how the movie was so different from this trailer.

Tinkerbell is known for lost media so I think this also counts.

Full Trailer:

Was thinking about this again and wanted to add some additional info:

While obviously we have no idea how the first draft of the movie was like, we can infer some things based off of these old color scripts by Fred Warter:

Link to his blog:

Now, you can actually see a few of the scenes used in the first trailer draft in this script.

It seems the only thing that really stayed intact was the building of the boat, which I theorize was always meant to be there perhaps for marketing.

Besides that, here's some scenes we can pick out.

First we have this shot, which looks alot like this one from the trailer, I assume maybe Vidia and Tink get into an argument about Tink's love for lost things.

So from the original color script, Lizzy seemed to not exist, at least not in the way we saw in the movie. Instead we had two characters, a young boy and girl who were seemingly fused to make Lizzy's character. The boy acting as the one who actually believes fairies and even snaps photo evidence of Tink and Vidia, which made it even into the trailer.

This use of cameras in the original script is interesting to me, as Fairies remaining hidden would be completely destroyed due to the existence of photo graphic evidence, although there is concept art of Tink and Vidia destroying the pictures, so perhaps that's what gets Tink captured, they go in the house looking for the photos only to be caught?

I just wanted to show that this iconic shot made it from the color script stage.

Next post I wanna compare the concept art to the trailer/color script. There's alot to talk about when it comes to the scrapped ideas for this movie and it's something that has interested me for years.

So nostalgic...

[borrowingtheborrower]

weird as hell to be back in the g/t community while dealing with fucko stealing my work, but i also want to say very point blank that aside from the mistreatment of my work, the other reason i left this community was the racism. and the transphobia. and the overall bigotry. and the people who are weird/creeps abt kids. and that all of those bitches are still here. some of them are very popular in fact. and while i can’t stand to be in this community, there are people here who remember.

you know who you fucking are.

[borrowingtheborrower]

Man i miss when this community was just pick a fictional twink from an anime and put them in a situation what the hell are you people doing

[borrowingtheborrower]

Blue spirit productions: The Borrowers (Info we have so far 2018-2024)

Many of you may remember this video from a couple years back...

2018

This is a pitch from "Blue Spirit Productions" a french animation studio, you may know their works such as "The Blue Samurai" or "My Life As A Courgette."

The pitch is for a potential animated TV show for "The Borrowers", made for companies and audiences to watch and get an impression on what they're gonna make and if anyone would be interested.

This was shown at the Cartoon Fourm 2018 as a project pitch and uploaded by CartoonBrew online, which is where the video comes from.

CartoonBrew's review here:

We know very little about the pitch for this other than it was shown off a few times at international animation conventions. Due to that we have very little concept art other than a few online.

From what little info we had the plot was simple and already created the groundwork for things such as characters and story.

The official Blue Spirit productions website wrote:

"Whilst out on a foraging mission, Arrietty, a Borrower no taller than an apple, is spotted by Tom, a human! But what should have been a disaster turns out to be the start of a wonderful friendship"

Although there's still a few reviews where a other plot points get mentioned, such as Tom's grandma running a Hotel where the Borrowers currently reside, but this is likely many ideas from the concepts they had.

More about the creation and throught process about this pitch project can be found here in this interview:

2019 - 2021

Little was heard about the project for years despite a positive response online from borrower fans, specifically on Tumblr.

(Fun fact I was originally the first person to post it on Tumblr lol)

The only thing new info we got was in a few new images, Tom's appearance had change except his outfit, while Arrietty remained the same.

Until about 2022 - 2024 where we've gotten more news.

The series was now in development, with a new director David Lopez.

Job listings were put up for new animators, the page about it on Blue Spirit's official website had updated and most importantly we got new images.

For a short while this was the only new official image online, with Tom and arrietty sporting new looks.

Although slowly, Arrietty specifically would be used in advertising for the company for things like new animation positions and for more international conventions.

Speaking of the conventions, a few of them had special talks at booths or even screenings of the show such as at Cartoon Fourm 2023, Annecy 2023 - 2024, Mipsjunior 2023 - 2024 ect ect.

Soon after this it was announced the team up of Blue Spirit Productions and Newen Connect, a french distribution company.

The series as of now is currently in production, on Newen connect's website we even have a new description:

(Translated from french and slighty fixed words.)

"The Borrowers are tiny people who live, unbeknownst to us, inside the walls of our homes. Their number one rule in life is simple: a peaceful existence means never being seen by Humans. Arrietty, 11 years old and 2 inches high, lives with her parents in a small community of Borrowers inside the house of a Human named Marie. Fearless and very curious, one day, Arrietty meets Tom, Marie’s grandson, and against all odds, befriends him. But shhh, its’ a secret... From this day forward, Arrietty divides her time between her daily life as a Borrower and her dream of exploring the world of Humans which takes on a whole new dimension, with her new friend, Tom. Together, Arrietty and Tom will embark on a gigantic adventure!"

Newens official website:

While it's been a long journey I genuinely cannot wait for this show, it's always exciting to see new animated projects especially a new Borrowers animated project as well. Despite The Borrowers having such an interesting idea it's only been animated once, which was about a decade ago with "The Secret World Of Arrietty" created by Studio Ghibli.

With the end of the year coming soon, let's hope to see this in 2025!

If you have more info feel free to add commentary, or if I got any details wrong feel free to message me. Thank you and have a wonderful day! <3

I feel like I'm the only person who actively looks up the development of this show. I've been waiting since 2018 lol.

[borrowingtheborrower]

I wonder what the age range of the G/T community is. I think I first discovered it when I was maybe 13, and now I’m 19. Bizarre how the community has been around for so long, so I’m assuming we have both older people and younger with us.
