I was thinking about when we discussed the Disney and Pixar animation shorts in class and how the company packages shorts with featured films. The first thing that came to mind was Finding Dory and the short that came before it, Piper. I thought it was interesting how Disney packaged its shorts to provide an extra incentive for people to go to the theaters to see the short.

    Yeah! Now that you mention it, I find it interesting how the shorts are shown along with the feature length films, too. Now I'm wondering; how would they show their animated shorts to audiences if they couldn't do it that way?

    I agree with you how it is interesting that Disney and Pixar are starting to put animated shorts in front of their films. Personally, I think it is a great idea because it opens a new field of film (shorts) to an audience that might not have been introduced to them too much. Something interesting when I see these movies in the theaters is that most of my friends and family don't like how there is a short in front and think that they usually go too long (I.E. Frozen Fever in front of Coco). I wonder if Disney/Pixar should keep the films to a specific time limit when placing them in front of feature lengths to maybe produce more popularity?

    I am however a huge fan of them!

Bratz: Rock Angelz is the movie I didn't know I needed

This weekend, I watched the hit 2005 animated movie Bratz: Rock Angelz. This movie was one of the first Bratz films in CGI, and let me tell you- the plot is ALL OVER THE PLACE. The girls start a fashion magazine and use stolen passes to get into hot London punk clubs, but when they lose their passes they decide that the only way to get into the gig is to become a rock band? This movie can be considered capitalist propaganda- the Bratz shop in order to destress about their problems, and it's an implemental part of their lives. They don't have jobs either- Jade has an internship, but only for three hours until she is fired. Chloe meets a TRASH British prince and ignores her best friend Yasmin who finds celebrity judge Byron Powell's (I don't make this stuff up) dog, Ozzy. Jade and Sasha try to do a photo shoot for the magazine, but Sasha micromanages the whole thing and makes her friend feel bad! And this whole time, there's these two evil blond twins (Kaley Cuoco PLA...

The New Spider Man!

Yesterday I saw spiderman with some buddies and we all walked out absolutely giddy! This animation is the best animation to hit the theaters in 2018. Period. I remember watching it and as I was watching it thinking, "thank god I already finished all my reviews because I don't think I can put into words how good this movie is in just a page". The style of this animation is something you have never seen before from Hollywood. It is absolutely stunning. It follows traditions of comic book artists with bright colors, dark lines on the face, and a pop art texture overlayed on top of everything. My breath was taken away during the final fight scene: it was gorgeous , emotional, and the stakes were made clear in every shot. Not only was the animation fantastic, but the story was also so well told. Every character had a meaningful arch or something you didn't expect from them. Every relationship and turning point felt genuine and earned. And you didn't have some v...
