Adjusted for inflation Spirited Away cost $22 million to make. The Triplets of Belleville cost $16.5 million, Cartoon Saloon's Wolfwalkers cost $14.28 million, and Oscar winner Flow cost only $4 million. These critically acclaimed, made by real people films, cost less than this pile of actual vomit.
OpenAI confirms they're helping make an AI-generated movie called 'Critterz'
• Goal is to finish production in 9 months
• Budget is ~$30M
• Plan is to debut the film at Canne
• 'Paddington 3' writers penned the script
• Art will be fed into Chat GPT 5 and other image models

A fantastic video by my good friend @peturssondrew.bsky.social summarizing the true capabilities of what animation can be capable of in the right hands, and the struggle to preserve the craft in this overly tech-savvy world.

The following exchange was between me and Andrew Wallace, a voice-actor who's apparently accusing me of being "emotionally unstable".
These screenshots, do you see anything going on in here that looks "unstable"?
In an act of pettiness, he announced on his server that I'm apparently some schizo.

Coming back home after a long day of work, the first thing Karina is met with is her daughter; Nutmeg, hugging her back wrapping her in a cozy, flight suit-filled hug~💖
Always fun to draw Gerry's characters again, had a blast making this all cozy-like~ x3

Cleanup on Judy is done. Last steps are to color her lineart, add shading, and finish the background.

Saw the new Zootopia 2 trailer, and lemme just say, with each passing month, I get all the more excited for this sequel - nine years in the making - than ever!
Also got the urge to draw this little pic when I saw Judy's gala gown!! She looks so beautiful in it! :D

For those worried about the state of society today, we all must remember that everything goes through ups and downs. Like, whole decades for example. I think we can all agree that the 2020s at this point is a pretty miserable decade. But in time, who knows?

And she's got awesome retractable wing-flaps built into her athlete suit, allowing her to soar in the sky like a bird... or a flying squirrel! XD And they make a comfy blanket to wrap around in too!
Thanks so much @captainquack.bsky.social!
