Pixar designed Toy Story to be printed on physical film. The Disney renaissance movies were the same.
Today, it's hard to see them as they were meant to be seen. The versions on streaming and home media aren't quite the same films that ruled the '90s:

Have some background art from Over the Garden Wall painted by Nick Cross. This miniseries really does capture autumn atmosphere so incredibly well with how warm the colors are and yet cold it still feels. Such a brilliant miniseries.

To those using Kickstarter: before backing a project, make sure it's legit. See below: Canadian artist @kness.bsky.social had their work stolen, images generated with the help of AI. 😢
Well this is not a nice start to my week. Someone reported to me that a kickstarter uses my pictures and it’s really sickening because they’re ALL mine with FREAKING AI bg. I already filed a copyright claim but it makes me sick.

Heads up for folx playing Arc Raiders: Embark has openly stated (in an interview with GamesRadar+), that the game uses the same AI voice tech as The Finals, and the CEO has talked about using AI to generate 3D models from YouTube rips.
If you're anti-AI you should not be playing Arc Raiders!

Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice.
They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

FYI this is really happening and not just spooked horses in the barn. I got one of these DMs today. Report to BS and block. Don't click the link
Head's up there is a Bluesky ban scam going around. This account just joined 40 mins ago and send me this DM.
DO NOT CLICK THE LINK.
Bluesky would NEVER send a DM like this and make you scared. This would come through email and would have a more professional email than this.
Stay safe!

I appreciate Over the Garden Wall's commitment to turn-of-the-last-century weirdness that they went out of their way to include what seems to be a rotoscoped bit like Cab Calloway in a Fleischer Bros. short, but it's not even rotoscoped - it's just one random bit of weirdness for weirdness' sake.

Hearing "why aren't you working for a big studio? Why aren't you directing at your age? You're so good, what do you mean you have trouble finding a job?" gets so tiresome. Thank you for saying I'm a good artist but I don't think that really is the thing that actually gets you jobs anymore 🤷
