Honestly, I don't care why this even exists in the first place, but whatever. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Unsurprisingly, it really blitzed the box office this year.
Box Office: ‘Toy Story 5’ Crosses $1 Billion, Becomes Highest-Grossing Movie of the Year"Toy Story 5" has crossed $1 billion at the global box office and ranks as the highest grossing movie of the year.variety.comTHANK GOD! IT'S FINALLY OVER!!!!! Well… at least, for the time being. But even then, we still gotta combat this whole merger situation, so… KEEP ON FIGHTING!!!
Culture Crave 🍿The Warner Bros and Paramount merger has officially been put on hold Paramount has agreed not to close the deal until 5 days after the upcoming antitrust trial or June 1, 2027 — whichever comes first (via Variety)
I agree. It's honestly just sad. I mean, animators working tirelessly to pull off an animated movie for audiences to enjoy, and FIRING them is the thanks they get from the execs?! So freakin unfair, dude. I feel as if corporate execs are just SO bloodthirsty for more money than they actually need. 🤦♂️
Animated AnticIt's genuinely despicable that after giving studios hits, execs pay back animators by firing them. It's such an unfair enviornent and these companies never treat their studios or employees fairly. I feel awful for everyone laid off at Pixar right now. Just heartbreaking.
Actually some GOOD news for a change, but the war ain't over yet. We gotta keep fighting. I hope to God this blockage will eventually be PERMANENT.
ToonHiveA judge has temporarily blocked the proposed Paramount–Warner Bros. merger. If the merger isn’t completed by Sept. 30, Paramount will begin owing Warner Bros. investors millions of dollars per day. (via Variety)
Just got back from watching Minions & Monsters! Needless to say, it was pretty enjoyable! There were some really fun moments, and it does a very good job at paying homage to 1920s Hollywood! Strangely enough, I feel as if this should be a master class at how to be a better director. Excellent!!! :D
musselus (Oli Diomede)Currently OMW to see Minions & Monsters! Pretty psyched for it! Wish me luck!!! ;)
Yeah, still not convinced. IYKYK.
ToonHiveNew look at ‘Ray Gunn’ from Brad Bird. Premieres December 18th on Netflix.
Well, I bet they'll regret this, then. Given the record-breaking success of Backrooms as of late, and how much Kane Parsons refuses to embrace AI, this partnership WON'T end well for them. This decision will most certainly go down as one of the WORST mistakes they've ever gone forward with. 🤦♂️
Culture Crave 🍿A24 defends AI partnership “Our relationship with our audience is something we don’t take for granted .. We want to dictate what tools get built for artists, and so they have a voice in shaping them rather than having tools handed to them. We’d rather have a seat at the table than on the sidelines"
I'm somewhat intrigued by this, considering this is an alien sci-fi! Thank God that Illumination is stepping back into original movies with this one. Although the aliens look sorta minion-like (AND as much as I'm not a fan of the "little green men" stereotype), I sure hope this turns out well! :)
Animated AnticIllumination has announced their next film which will be an original film titled Not Alone. It stars Timothée Chalamet and Selena Gomez and follows a mechanic & astronaut who hide three aliens that come to Earth for safety. The film releases on April 16, 2027.
Exactly this! Happy anniversary to Elio!!! :D
JeffMovieMan #BlockTheMergerHappy one year anniversary to Elio! It's such a beautiful, touching movie that means so much more to me than I could possibly describe, and it's profoundly unfair that its legacy as a film is overshadowed by failure. It deserved so much better, and I truly hope time will be kinder to it.
