Sherri Stoner served as the animation model for Ariel in The Little Mermaid (1989) as well as Belle in Beauty and the Beast (1991).

A new 3D model has dropped on the official Project Hail Mary site. You can now print your own Rocky figurine: a fully articulated action figure or a static version. This is cosmically cool.

Every single goddamn time I feel frustrated that my art/animation isn't good enough

I forget all professionals use references

I am just stupid

[Project Hail Mary Updates @HailMaryLogs]

There’s a really cool hidden gem on the official Project Hail Mary site. You can download a 3D model of the xenonite Grace sculpture and, if you’ve got a 3D printer, make your own mini Ryland for your desk ✨

Walt Disney Imagineering has revealed that Audio-Animatronics figures from Disneyland’s Splash Mountain are preserved at their headquarters.

Hoppers’ creative team was inspired by Imagineering’s Audio-Animatronics lab for the film.

Apple spent a decade gluing batteries into $2,499 MacBook Pros. Then it shipped a $599 laptop you can take apart in six minutes.

The MacBook Neo teardown numbers are wild. Eight screws to open. Eighteen screws hold the battery, zero glue, zero tape. The USB-C ports, speakers, and headphone jack are all modular, meaning each one swaps individually. The speakers come out with four screws. An Australian repair channel disassembled most of the machine in under six minutes using standard Torx bits you can buy at any hardware store.

For context, the 2019 MacBook Pro scored 2 out of 10 on iFixit’s repairability scale. The 16-inch Pro got a 1 out of 10. Soldered RAM, soldered storage, glued battery, proprietary pentalobe screws, keyboard riveted to the top case. Apple’s own Self Service Repair program required you to rent a 79-pound repair kit shipped in two Pelican cases just to swap a battery.

The timing explains everything. The EU Right to Repair Directive takes effect July 31, 2026. Member states are transposing it into national law right now. Manufacturers must offer repair beyond warranty, provide spare parts within 5 to 10 working days for seven years, and publish repair manuals. In the US, over a quarter of Americans already live in states with enforceable Right to Repair laws. Oregon banned parts pairing. California’s act is in effect.

Apple read the regulatory calendar and realized the cheapest laptop in the lineup would face the most scrutiny. Millions of students and first-time buyers will own it. The volume will be enormous. And regulators love consumer-protection cases involving the most affordable products in a company’s portfolio.

So they built the Neo as the compliance flagship. Standard screws, modular ports, no adhesive, a battery that lifts out. Meanwhile the $1,099 MacBook Air still has soldered storage and a riveted keyboard. The $2,499 Pro still scores poorly on independent repairability scales.

The $599 laptop is the most repairable MacBook in over a decade. Apple always knew how to build a repairable laptop. They just needed a reason that showed up on a regulatory deadline.

🎉 We just released Rotate Object in Photoshop (beta) 🎉

You can now rotate 2D images! 🤯

Then use Harmonize to add light and shadows, to blend it perfectly with the rest of the scene.

It's like Turntable in Illustrator, but instead of vectors, it's pixels in Photoshop!

I caught up with the Tomorrowland concept art wall for its reaction to Jill Estorino being named Disneyland’s next president.

“I’ve proudly served under four Disneyland presidents. Looking forward to number five. And to my fans, don’t worry. I’ll be here, standing tall.”

When the Disney heads had "Basil of Baker Street" changed to the more generic and vague sounding "The Great Mouse Detective", the filmmakers did not take it well and promptly responded with the greatest memo ever written.

This is an absolutely brutal followup to an amazing legacy— The former behind the scenes animation studio tour is what inspired me to become a filmmaker.

I understand the youths might not love Cronkite & Robin Williams these days, but this is just not a suitable replacement.

NEW: Learn to Draw with Olaf!, coming to the new Animation Academy Experience at Disney's Hollywood Studios, will feature an all-new Olaf Audio-Animatronics figure.

Another view for the record breaking BIGGEST drone show EVER seen over Hollywood California to celebrate the second season of ‘Monarch: Legacy of Monsters’.

Titan X, Godzilla, & Kong making their debut tonight!

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

A drone show featuring Godzilla and Kong was held last night.

It had the world record for tallest drone show and used over 3K drones.

It's not your imagination: Old video games DID look better in the past.

Old games relied on old TVs to blur the images together, when viewed on a modern TV things dont look right -
