#2d animation obviously

[i-only-know-fandoms]

Since we're all talking about Suzanne Collins again now that the BoSaS movie is coming out soon, can we talk about her first book series, The Underland Chronicles? I know we all know she doesn't hold punches in THG, but holy shit, she does not hold punches! Those books literally changed me

F-TIER!

talking about the topic of animated movies not Hitting, I accidentally reminded myself of one time on twitter, I think around the time that Raya came out?? I was poopooing on how much the dragon looks like elsa, and then talked about how I wish 2d animated and hand animated films were still The Medium instead of nothing but the highest resolution skin texture fur textured 3d animated films bc I'm tired of seeing it, etc etc and then someone who I was not mutuals with, they must've been someone working under the disney IP in some form, and must've either done some work on raya or just worked on 3d animated projects in general, replied to me SEVERAL TIMES as if I was subtweeting them, with something to the tone of "just say you hate me and you think my art is trash" and I think about that ALL the time

Zootopia 2 teaser. ....

[narwhalandchill]

the unfortunate thing abt the narwhals 4.2 appearances is that both in those kind of dynamic cutscenes and bossfights alike there are set limitations in terms of scale given the model kinda. Has to actively be there moving in game environments . and as huge (& beautiful 🥰) as the narwhal Is even within those (particular props to how the model dimensions warp and get way bigger during the swallowing animation kinda implying how big its Actually intended to be). its also just Not That Massive for a creature whose whose sheer size in lore is p much described as like. genuinely incomprehensible . that casually consumes entire worlds and hosts newborn ones within its stomach. Like its just a Bit tiny for what youd expect (but very cute and stunning!!! With lovely animations!! Dearest)

But that also makes the subject of its Actual In Lore Size very funny bc it lets you kinda. Forget about that aspect for a little bit and then you go back to the 4.1 scene like

Right. Right.

THATS the all-devouring narwhal we are talking about . Thats the real deal 💀

Okay so I watched the trailer for Snow White, just out of curiosity (I don’t intend to watch the movie I’m not giving them money for that), and I can very much concur that the colour grading is terrible, none of the backgrounds look real, and the dwarves are awful CGI abominations.

However. The Evil Queen’s outfit… Kind of brilliant. I give whoever designed that one a pat on the back, and only them specifically.

"this tutorial WILL teach you how to shade hair finally!" *shows incredibly unrealistic anime shading thats easy on purpose so it can be mass replicated during animation*

What's up gamers I'm bored

[infizero]

ok. my things

[lepidopoda]

final animation from my first year of uni! it's not perfect but considering I'd never animated before in september, I am incredibly proud of the progress I've made over the past six months. the song is 'the killing kind' by marianas trench (which absolutely SLAPS, I had such a hard time picking a section from it to animate)

[1oddboi1]

This is a perfect example of my favorite thing about animation on the internet. This is clearly someone who has an incredible understanding of form, and perspective, and motion, and expressions, but they use it to make an animation of a little bunny guy falling in love. I don't mean to undermine how genuinely impressive and well done this is, or be dismissive of it in any way. The camera movements are spectacular, and with how the characters move and rotate, they almost feel like 3d models. What I'm saying is that I love when someone super talented with a deep understanding of their craft decides to makes funny little internet cartoons. I've subscribed to them, and I think everyone who see this should too :)

"Go See The Day the Earth Blew Up" Masterpost

this isn't really anything new for anyone following me, but i wanted to make a comprehensive post covering my adamence on seeing this movie--i have a lot of different versions of a lot of different posts being spread around, and wanted to uncross the wires a bit. entering Tumblr PSA mode for a bit like it's 2013 all over again--bear with me!

before getting into the nitty gritty, though, this is a TIME SENSITIVE POST. most theaters were beginning to pull the film out as early as end of day TODAY--not even a full WEEK'S worth of a run. but, thanks to word of mouth, the film has mostly been extended to the end of the weekend. with continued word of mouth and support, the film has a chance to run even longer.

What the Heck is The Day the Earth Blew Up

The Day the Earth Blew Up is an all traditionally hand-drawn, 2D animated film starring Looney Tunes' own Porky Pig, Daffy Duck and Petunia Pig. initially announced in September of 2021, it's the very first all traditionally animated film in the franchise's entire 95 year run.

Why Haven't I Heard About The Day the Earth Blew Up

originally intended to be a direct to streaming release, this film's existence has been wrung through the wringer. for the benefit of tax cuts, Warner Bros. wrote the film off and just barely avoided axing it entirely--even during its production. the film was put up for sale and only just last summer finally was able to procure an independent distributor, Ketchup Entertainment. unfortunately, Ketchup Entertainment is a much smaller name than Warner Bros. is, and because WB isn't releasing it, it's Ketchup who is marketing and spreading the film--obviously, something incredibly difficult to do with a very small budget.

Why the Heck Should I See The Day the Earth Blew Up

hand-drawn, traditionally animated films are all but extinct in theaters, and by setting the film up for what could essentially be described as sabotage, a meager box office performance is the perfect excuse for the suits to claim that there's no more demand for traditionally animated movies anymore.

it's the first all-animated Looney Tunes film in the entire franchise's history.

you don't have to have any knowledge or attachment to the characters to enjoy the film--there are absolutely no prerequisites required (but there are plenty of loving nods to fellow fans of the film.) i dragged my best friend to see this with me who doesn't have the same LT brain parasite that i do and she absolutely loved it.

WB just axed the entire LT library of shorts off of HBO Max, as well as gutted all of the cartoons freely available on their YouTube channel--there seems to be a clear embarrassment for the franchise on their behalf, and seeing the film proves that notion dead wrong.

supporting the film spreads the message that there is a demand for the love and craft that goes into these films. you will genuinely be experiencing history in the making--when's the last time you've seen a brand new, all traditionally animated film in the theaters from the States?

crew members themselves are urging you to spread your support and mention how it empowers them to keep making more

the money goes to Ketchup, not Zaslav--you don't have to worry about boycotting the film. the absolute opposite is necessary.

supporting this film could potentially spawn similar films with similar opportunities. Eric Bauza himself has mentioned that suport and turnout for this film could see a potential revival in Coyote vs. ACME, another film victim to WB's tax writeoffs all in the name of the dollar

EDIT: Ketchup Entertainment is in talks with WB to distribute Coyote vs ACME!!! because of the word of mouth and positivist surrounding The Day the Earth Blew Up!! keep it coming!!

it's likely that the film will be completely overshadowed by the Snow White remake, with theaters initially beginning to pull screens to make way for early previews. what could be more poetic than supporting an all traditionally hand-drawn film over a cash-grab remake of the very first feature length traditionally hand-drawn film?

How Else Can I Support The Day the Earth Blew Up

GO SEE IT! go see it again! go see it with your siblings, your friends, your family! tell your coworkers! reblog this post! spread the news! keep the conversation going!

pre-orders for the Blu-ray, releasing May 27th, are already scheduled

there's a limited edition run of 1,000 copies for the film's soundtrack on vinyl!

said soundtrack is also available on YouTube, which you should likewise listen to! get those view counts up!

Why the Heck Should I Listen to You

i'm asking myself the same thing! but, i do want to put this out there: i get it. i usually do not like being a walking advertisement. i know this is full on shill-mode and you're surely asking "you're being paid, aren't you" (i wish!). i also share the Ferocious Contrarian Gene where seeing posts like these is an instant way for me to NOT want to see the film. i genuinely understand how pushy and obnoxious this can come off. especially since, clearly, i'm a little biased to the franchise and these characters. i also balk at the guilt trippy idea of "YOU'RE A MONSTER IF YOU DON'T SUPPORT THIS FILM YOU KILLED ANIMATION". i HATE that rhetoric with a passion, and that only is going to alienate people from wanting to see this further. please know that's not the intent of my messaging here at all.

but even beyond my personal biases, i really think this is a film worth supporting. movies like this are a once-in-a-lifetime event anymore, and that could only be exacerbated by how this film's fate is handled. i've been overjoyed with the amount of messages i've received from people who said they caught the film on a whim and enjoyed it--especially from those without a clear LT bias like myself. it's proven that this film is enjoyable for anyone.

also, just, spite. the reason you haven't heard about it is by design. this film has been set up to fail. and while the success shouldn't be the sole responsibility or burden of the consumers, but instead the higher-ups, you are making a difference by supporting and spreading word of mouth of this film. crew members themselves are saying so. the distributor themselves are saying so.

i'm not expecting a miracle for this film, as much as i'd love one. i will genuinely be surprised if it makes a profit (which it should at a measly $15 million, pennies compared to most features that look much worse than this). but that's all the more reason to TRY rather than give up and say there's nothing we can do. you all have been making such a wonderful difference. that energy needs to continue, not dwindle. every single person is able to make a difference.

there are a lot worse ways you could be spending your time than spending an hour and a half at the theaters enjoying some gorgeous traditionally hand-drawn animation on the big-screen, feeling good that you're helping to spread a message and supporting the hard, loving craft of the people who worked on it. imagine if all "good turn"s in the world could be as fun and easy as seeing an animated comedy!

Have you seen this post?:

"the angel staying over at my house asked for a nightlight in their room and i told them buddy, don't you produce your own light? what're you gonna do with more? and they said they wanted to see why people like it so much. and also that the nightlight i own is blue and they're been trying to understand color. anyways i think they've stared at it for an hour now" (post by pigswithwings)

What if I told you that it’s getting animated into a short film?

“Angel back at home” is a 2D animated short film made by small artists all over the world, with its own unique soundtrack, voice acting, and character designs!

Page 2:

We follow Angel (it/its) and Rafaela(she/her) through the same events seen on the post, and invite you to experience it with us!

We hope for it to come out in film festivals before it is out on youtube, as a way to properly thank our artists, but we still hope you’ll join us through the process and support small productions!

Page 3:

Who is responsible for this?

Obviously, all of the story/script is credited to JPEG(any pronouns), an illustrator and writer of which you should see more art of in @pigswithwings #pigsoriginals #pig-does-art if you haven’t already!

The production is made by Pierre SQ(he/they), a brazilian animator, script writer, and new director and producer, of which you can see future works of in @patchwork-artists!

and many, many other artists to be introduced soon!

Page 4:

When will it be out?

We’re hoping to finish it by September and release which festivals accept us (as well as sneak peeks), but after the festivals we’ll release it on youtube!

Keep an eye out on the project!

All this talk about Leona's / Vil's chest makes me think of ... This. I just got the art book for my bday, went to check Leona's section and got hit with THIS... In front of my mom too 😭😭 (she didn't read it but. HELP)

6 UNDONE BUTTONS BUT MAKE SURE TO AVOID SHOWING TOO MUCH SKIN 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 they really put a bunch of buttons on it just for him to have them open but not show "too much", huh...

W-what the hell. Sure. W-whatever.

[Referencing this post!]

Average L*ona reaction to someone pointing out his loose and/or lack of buttons (taken straight out of his School Uniform vignette):

Ah, yes... That infamous note from the art book 😭 (<- has known about it for years and chose not to make a public comment unless prompted)

OKAY, but to be fair (*grips Riddle by the head like he’s a melon I am testing for ripeness*) take a look at a character that wears the Ceremonial Robes properly:

The black undershirt has a somewhat high collar. Additionally, the buttons seem to be spaced very close together. The white dress shirt for the NRC school uniform has more standard height collar and its buttons are noticeably farther apart than those of the ceremonial robes.

This means you would have to unbutton MORE buttons on the ceremonial robes in order to show the same amount of skin as in your school uniform. For example, what is 6 buttons on the ceremonial robes is only 2-3 buttons on the NRC school uniform. Like so:

My guess as to why that note in the art book exists is because they wanted to call attention to the spacing of the buttons being closer, meaning that 6 buttons being undone would still roughly have the same amount of skin showing had it been 2-3 buttons on the school uniform. They probably didn't want whatever artists were working on the Leona Ceremonial Robes initial artwork to get confused and accidentally show more skin due to the button count. (6 buttons undone on a regular shirt would show much more skin!)

While I was researching this I SWEAR TO YOU THIS WAS NOT AN EXCUSE TO STARE AT KINGSCHOLAR'S CHEST FOR LONGER THAN IS SOCIALLY ACCEPTABLE, I realized that there's an inconsistency in Leona's Ceremonial Robes initial art and his live 2D model?? (This shouldn't be a shock though, considering that there's plenty of details in the card art that don’t always carry over to the live 2D models.)

If you look at Leona’s live 2D, the robes collar is clearly undone (you can see the flaps open). That's... clearly not 6 buttons undone. You can't even see any visible cleavage in the model:

But then???? If you take a look at the card art??? THERE'S VERY OBVIOUSLY WAY MORE BUTTONS UNDONE??? YOU CAN TELL BECAUSE SUDDENLY THERE'S CLEAVAGE OUT AND ABOUT AND WHAT WAS ONCE ONLY JUST THE FLAPS OF THE COLLARS IS NOW SHAMELESSLY OPEN 💀

And when you compare this to other instances in which Leona appears in his ceremonial robes (such as the second anniversary PV and the Twst anime trailer), HE HAS THE COLLAR COMPLETELY OPEN AND CLEAVAGE SHOWING. This leads me to believe that the initial card artwork is the INTENDED depiction, not the live 2D model.

You know what that means, fellas??? IT MEANS BIBLICALLY INACCURATE LION BOOBS FOR THE LIVE 2D MODEL...

ANYWAY. THAT IS ALL I HAVE TO SAY ON THIS MATTER, GOOD-BYE NOW 🤡
