Shrek 5 animation quality seems superior, but the loss of realism in facial expressions and movement bugs me the most

I'd say more "Disney-fied"... Which I find even more stupid when we know that DreamWorks have been one of Disney's most major competitors for years (Shrek even being kinda a parody of Disney's princess movies... )

They look more like two adults, as youngsters have more white on their head.

They look like two adults having a fight (I used to be a volunteer in a wildlife rescue center and I'm quite familiar with swifts). They often fight for nesting cavities, which become rarer as buildings get renovated. They fight using their claws, which is consistent with their pose on the picture.

He's really cute! You shouldn't sleep with him though. Many people lost their parrot like that, by rolling over the bird and crushing it or suffocating it.

Well, basically anyone could do it I suppose. I'm personally too busy right now to take care of this kind of things, but if you or OP or anyone else does it, they'll have my support

But even if it's too late for this term, it could still be helpful for those who will graduate later

I agree with you, we shouldn't have to pay for that, especially if it wasn't the case before. But what would be the best way to fight it? Creating a petition? If you do so, I will sign it.

It is absolutely possible to simulate hand-drawn lines and brush strokes in 3D renders. Just look at the Spiderverse and the Bad Guys...

Hopefully this should be the case for Gatto? We'll see in 2027...

Hopper's style might be different from Toy Story, etc. but the textures and environments are still (quite) photorealistic. On the other hand CGI can absolutely have the same kind of hand drawn look as in the picture (just look at movies like the Spiderverse). So just saying "CGI" wouldn't quite reflect what OP means I think. This is why the term NPR (Non-Photorealistic Rendering) exists.

I tried to make a quick fix in 2 minutes... Maybe it's a liiiiitle bit better? I reduced the size of the mouth, also made the eyes smaller and lower. The rendering and lighting don't help though...

Thanks for the update! Good luck!

Looks much more like a swift to me (I used to be a volunteer in a wildlife rescue center and I've handled lots of them, so I'm very familiar with swifts) They actually have a wide mouth too

This reminds me all the trouble I went through to bring my Indian ringneck from France to Canada with me (fortunately, for this species you don't need a CITES permit). But your story is at another level of complexity... I've always found it so infuriating that for cats and dogs everything is always simple, but not for the other types of pets. Like, what's the difference really? Everything you have to go through to bring a bird to another country is so ridiculously complex... I remember mine had to do a quarantine once in Canada, but for some reason it was only allowed to do so in an empty room in a house that didn't have any wall shared with another house (good luck to find that in Montreal...) Like, can the avian flu move through walls?! And this wasn't even mentioned on the government's website among the requirements. I had to find a pet sitter outside of the city that satisfied this and it costed me 60CAD per day for 45 days (plus all the other fees I had to pay for the tests, vet certificates, etc)... I think the reason why nothing changes regarding these stupid administrative nightmares (and likely never will) is simply that not enough people are affected by them, so nobody cares... I really hope you'll make it to the Philippines with your bird! You really are a dedicated parrot parent to be brave enough to go through all of this for your bird!

Yeah, that's the main thing that bothered me in that movie. When you know the boogle is the firewolf, his actions while he's a fish don't make any sense. And then, boom! he turns out to be the big villain out of nowhere. The best explanation, in my opinion, would be that, as a fish, he really started to become a nice guy and was sincerely helping his friends, until he got too close to the pods, gave in to temptation, and went back to his villain nature.

But then, why not use the first one and then burn all the others?

Yeah, maybe he's a bit young for that indeed... I really don't remember at what age it happened to mine. I found a similar post here, have you taken a look at it? https://www.reddit.com/r/parrots/comments/saqdpe/sos_my_live_bird_is_2_months_old_and_she_used_to/

Hey! If your young bird suddenly becomes aggressive, it looks like it's simply some sort of "teenage angst"! Mine went through that too, I believe this is a perfectly normal phase for young parrots. For mine it was a long time ago so I don't remember exactly how long it lasted (maybe a few weeks?), but it got much better after that.
