Nobody has ever made the dark feel as real as old Disney did.

In these films the night isn't an absence of light. It's a color, and someone mixed it by hand…

Disney had its own paint laboratory, built by a woman named Mary Weiser, the first of its kind in animation. Its job was to invent shades that did not exist yet. In the early thirties, when the studio was still making shorts, there were around eighty shades on the shelves. By the time they finished Snow White there were fifteen hundred.

Every one of them went on by hand, cel by cel, and each cel needed hours to dry before it could be photographed.

The Ink and Paint department was almost entirely women. According to the Walt Disney Family Museum, the paints were sometimes named after them, and to have a color carry your name was considered an honour.

So the dark of Bambi's forest, the lamplight in Geppetto's workshop, the blue at Cinderella's attic window: none of it is a filter or a setting or a dimmer turned down. Each is a specific colour that a specific person mixed in a jar, and some of those jars had her name on the label.

That is why these scenes still feel more alive than anything made since. We went from hands, to computers, to AI, and at every step there is a little less of the person left in it…

The author Joanna Maciejewska said it better than anyone: "I want AI to do my laundry and dishes so that I can do art and writing, not for AI to do my art and writing so that I can do my laundry and dishes."

Also Im SO happy I took so many screenshots during COVID.

There are SO MANY articles that do not even EXIST anymore. People are trying so hard to rewrite history from the last 6 years.

Can we please go back to TV shows having 20 to 26 episodes a season?

I’m tired of getting 6 episodes, finally getting invested, then being told to come back in 3 to 5 years for the next season. By then I’ve forgotten half the plot and everyone looks 10 years older.

THE PLANET IS GIVING US WARNING AFTER WARNING. EXTREME WEATHER. DISAPPEARING SPECIES. DESTROYED HABITATS. PEOPLE SUFFERING. HOW MANY MORE SIGNS DO WE NEED BEFORE WE STOP TREATING THIS LIKE SOMEONE ELSE’S PROBLEM?????

they are actively trying to kill the earth and nobody is doing anything abt it

Seeing one of gods most majestic and divine creatures, fight so valiantly against the destruction and rampaging of his home should do untold psychic damage to your psyche. We should be radicalized by this.

No one wants to admit it but humans are the cause behind another mass extinction event on Earth, and it's already been happening

God Disney lost so much sauce when they abandoned 2D animation

The World Health Organization has announced that we will start running out of clean water (drinking, showering, laundry, dishes) in the next FEW YEARS. We are officially entering water bankruptcy. This is a direct result of AI. Please stop using it now.

Movies like The Chronicles of Narnia and Pirates of the Caribbean still hold up as some of the best cgi in the industry compared to any modern day “live action” slop and I mourn the soul and creativity movies used to be filled with instead of just pathetic cash grabs 💔

[Brendan Hodges @metaplexmovies]

PIRATES OF THE CARREBEAN is obviously a masterpiece, but in retrospect I feel very lucky to have grown up when visual effects started to cook but productions still used huge sets, shot in exotic locations and had to rely on human stunt work in camera. we've rarely had it better

People can’t fucking afford groceries. Bragging about taxpayers paying for your luxuries isn’t the flex you think it is.

Growing up hearing “Wikipedia isn't a valid source” and then entering a workplace where people say “just ask ChatGPT” is a surprisingly strange timeline

This is how ruins should be displayed

I JUST LEARNED THAT IF WE LOSE THE AMAZON RAINFOREST WE BASICALLY TRIGGER A LITERAL CARBON TIME BOMB AND MASS EXTINCTION EVENT, SAVE THE RAINFOREST RIGHT THE FUCK NOW
