It's taken me years to piece together why the dragon from The Last Unicorn was an Eastern style dragon, rather than a more traditional Western style, like you'd see in D&D or GoT. It's because the studio that made it was by the literal predecessor to Studio Ghibli, Topcraft.

Learning that one of my favorites movies was made by them, a couple years ago, was a bit of a trip, but only realizing this fact, now, makes me feel a little silly.

Forgot to post here, but I made a small animation related to a Brazilian minecraft rp series, called topcraft

Here is the link to watch it(pls watch it :])

So,

this showed up in my ‘for you’ tab and i have to say, this is the least attractive piece of ai-generated content i may have well seen yet

this is untagged, obviously ai-generated “art” being passed off as hand-made art by some absolute tool @gr1mmweeper, who should honestly be ashamed of this. But given how low the quality is, the lack of care even in vetting results, it’s likely they don’t feel any shame at all.

You can tell it’s ai generated because the artstyle on each individual character is distractingly different, not unified or similar at all like it would be if an actual artist was behind this project, the backgrounds are straight fucked, the shadows are all wrong, off-brand scooby has two tongue left teeth, and that pathetic “mystery machine” that was thrown together with no care or consideration, merely fulfilling the objective of matching a colour palette.

you would think other people wouldn’t be so blind, but...

@marshmallsy​ @juniperhillpatient​ @hexitca​ @seeksattentionhatesattention​ @ursamajor17​ @yoohyeontual​ @hoennislands​ , among others

You have failed the challenge.

“you did not have to make fred so cute like that” BECAUSE THEY DIDN’T.

This is all bad enough, but to try to do this AI shit with Ghibli...?

"I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself."

“I feel like we are nearing to the end of times. We humans are losing faith in ourselves.”

Leave Studio Ghibli and Topcraft outta this shit. Leave scooby doo out too. Leave algorithm generation out of everything, actually. Before you people get consumed and drag the rest of us down with you.

Eu duvido muito que alguém vá ler isso, mas eu fiz uma AU de Top Craft, essa AU se passa após a destruição de Top-city, nesse post vou focar no Lggj, no apuh e no coelho, então.. vamos pra história:

Ato 1, parte 1:

A história se inicia com Lggj, que após a destruição de top-city, perdeu a memória do que aconteceu naquela cidade, então ele se tornou um ótimo médico, até que no dia 10/05 de 2023, uma pandemia digamos.. estranha começa, por que um traficante descobriu o Dark Lichen, logo, essa droga se espalhou rapidamente, milhares de hospitais lotam por coma nas mãos dessa droga, muitos desses morreram e outros.. ficaram em coma pelo resto da "vida" até que, mais ou menos em 14/06 de 2023, lggj tomou um tiro de raspão no ombro, então ele descobriu que seu sangue era puro dark Lichen..

Querem que eu continue?

There are a lot of crazy connections in animation, and here are some of my favorites.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and The Last Unicorn were both produced by Rankin-Bass, and it’s honestly kind of funny considering that when you watch them both back to back.

However, TLU was animated by Topcraft, which was a Japanese studio that later animated Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind before evolving into Studio Ghibli. So that means there’s a direct link between Rudolph and Princess Mononoke. 

Plus, some of RB’s stop-motion animators also worked on a film from 1979 called Nutcracker Fantasy, including Tadahito Mochinaga, the animation director on most of the sixties stuff like Rudolph. It has a very similar style to the stop-motion RB specials, but was actually produced by Sanrio. So there’s also a direct link from Rudolph to Aggretsuko. 

Romeo Muller wrote the majority of the Rankin-Bass stuff, but he also did work for Fred Wolf Films, including writing all three Puff the Magic Dragon specials. And Fred Wolf Films also provided the animation for The Mouse and His Child, another Sanrio film. 

Oh, and both Rankin-Bass AND Sanrio have a direct link to Osamu Tezuka as well. Like, you probably already know Sanrio produced both Unico films, which were adaptations of Tezuka’s work. But Mushi Productions, the same studio that animated a lot of Tezuka shows like Astro Boy and Kimba the White Lion, animated Frosty the Snowman for Rankin-Bass!

Speaking of Unico, both films were animated by Madhouse, which later made a lot of really edgy and mature anime like Ninja Scroll, Perfect Blue, Death Note, and Black Lagoon. 

Before starting up Mushi Productions, Tezuka briefly worked for Toei Animation. Toei is a studio you know best for stuff like Dragon Ball, Sailor Moon, and One Piece, but they also did some outsourced work for some American studios back in the day, including some work for Rankin-Bass (again!), and the eighties My Little Pony series. Oh, and Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata did work there early on, so there’s another Ghibli connection.

Speaking of My Little Pony, the G1 series (along with other Hasbro cartoons like Transformers and G.I. Joe) was produced by Marvel Productions, which was actually directly spun off from DePatie-Freleng Enterprises, the studio that produced both the Pink Panther cartoons and most of the seventies Dr. Seuss specials like The Cat in the Hat and The Lorax. If DePatie-Freleng’s name sounds familiar, that’s because one of the founders was famed Looney Tunes director Friz Freleng. So I guess MLP has a connection to both Dr. Seuss AND Looney Tunes. 

I could go on and on, and maybe I will in an eventual reblog, but I think you get the point by now.
