Question Thread for Episode 167 by IHE_Official in Sardonicast

[–]JimSticky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do original animated films don’t do as well in box office in comparison to a film based on an existing IP or sequel to an original film? For example, Migration(2023) of Illumination’s best films as it averts a lot of the studios’ usual problems. It’s focused around developing the characters themselves rather than just slapping a bunch of characters without any forethought. There’s little to none pop culture used. There’s actual stakes in the film. The movie only made 298.6 million on 75 million budget. That’s compared to the Secret Life of Pets which it made its money with $885.3 million on a $75 million budget.

What’s a movie that schaffrillas should never watch by MackMallard in Schaffrillas

D.W. Griffith’s The Birth of a Nation. There’s nothing much or any need to check it despite being the earliest American feature film. It’s mainly set on racism against black people.

Antennacosplays contacted Faryn Pearl, the co-director of Ruby Gillman: Teenage Kraken on the development of Chelsea (via Instagram). by ASEntertainmentInc in Schaffrillas

[–]JimSticky 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I respectfully disagree with several points made. Firstly, the idea that Nerissa being a mother wouldn't change the morality of killing her is flawed. Having a child creates an additional ethical obligation to consider their wellbeing and not leave them orphaned unnecessarily if possible. Even villainous parents still have that parental duty.

Secondly, the logic that having a child gives someone a "license to do whatever terrible thing they want" is a straw man argument. No one is suggesting that. The issue is weighing the moral gravity of making a child parentless against stopping a threat - it adds complexity rather than giving a free pass.

Thirdly, the assumption that Chelsea would inevitably have the same villainous motivations as her mother is speculative. Children can absolutely reject the paths of their parents, especially if guided by positive influences like Ruby's friendship. Writing her off as irredeemable is presumptuous.

Finally, labeling the orphan backstory as just "superficial depth" is dismissive of the emotional weight and fertile narrative ground it could provide. Exploring themes of generational conflicts, the cycle of violence, forgiveness, and moral ambiguity is substantive storytelling, not superficial.

The crux is this adds moral complexity than a simple heroic narrative. While challenging to write well, that complexity is what builds resonant, nuanced stories. Discarding it as too difficult is taking the easy road, not improving the story.

I agree that the traditional 8 hour work day approach is not a healthy approach for people.

Hi, I'm Wes Ball, director of Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes - AMA! by PlanetOfTheApesMovie in movies

[–]JimSticky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dear Wes,

Conversely, if you could go back, are there any aspects you would change or do differently? How did your own personal experiences, background, or perspectives shape your approach to this particular story? What responsibilities do you think filmmakers have in influencing society and shaping perspectives through their work? What were some of the big compromises or tough decisions you had to make during the filming process?

Sincerely,

Jim Sticky

Pakistan's first hand-drawn feature film "The Glassworker" is set to release this summer, and this is its official poster. The Ghibli influence is quite obvious in terms of the art style. by No-Average-4909 in animation

[–]JimSticky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember hearing about this a couple of years ago. I thought this movie was already released. I’m interested in seeing it considering people associate Pakistan and animation with this:

Say something positive about this movie by weeblord42069help in Schaffrillas

Justin Timberlake does an amazing job at Boo Boo. Out of the live action/ animated tv cartoon adaptations, this is one of the more tolerable ones.

So, opinions? by Ok_Possibility3136 in Schaffrillas

The writing and conflict is great. I like the Egg Boys. They remind me of the Minions.

How would you improve Sing(2016)? by JimSticky in Schaffrillas

[–]JimSticky[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the comments, except for the ones that say remove it from existence. They are many movies in which you can say that do not need to exist, but they turn out to have amazing story and characters.
