The Tom-and-Jerry comedy is honestly SO funny, when Jaq copies Lucifer opening up folds in the blanket, but he's opening up the folds of Lucifer's fur. The king's dialogue when he screeches out his litany of TREASON! SABOTAGE! THE WHOLE THING WAS A PLOT! Walt really was in the business of entertaining with a side of the most beautiful, absolutely stunning, raw, painterly beauty you've ever seen: the dress transformation, how light spills into a tall Mary Blair room. I mean how does that shit even work, on a still background painting. Cinderella, in the words of Jewels Sparkles, has been Piggy-of-the-Week for 75 mf years.

Inside Out 2 2024
An interesting drop-off from my very tearfelt experience in theaters, almost a year ago. I think I was just thrilled for a Pixar film to have propulsive energy again.

Empty philosophizing and meandering melodrama.

Moana 2 2024
It’s even worse than I could have possibly imagined. The songs are actively bad and the animation has no art direction. A stain for this to be shoehorned as WDAS and even worse that exhausted parents found their perfect match. Moana, Polynesian culture, and animation all deserve better than this trash.
The plain animation of the background characters made me so angry. The transparency of unimagination is sickening in its boringness.
