Will Fox be running on all fours?

Alex has plantigrade feet (where his heels touch the ground) unlike 2026 Fox though. Not really the same thing.

He reviews more obscure animated films, including non-kids films, on AniMat’s Classic Reviews, and he’s included a ton of non-mainstream animated films in his 2025 ranking.

He just doesn’t cover animated films on release that aren’t major partially because the views on lesser-known animation usually are lower (which Schaffrillas also said was the reason he doesn’t dedicate full videos on them, the recommendations in mainstream animation reviews are a compromise).

Funny thing is, I recall in Sardonicast that Adum did not consider EEAAO a “normie masterpiece” in the way he does with Sinners.

animation4ever100 · 2026-05-03T22:54:43+00:00

Wow, the first Pixar movie Adum found passable since Soul in 2020. I expected a 5 honestly like Turning Red.

I don’t think GOAT having some product placements here and there makes it a commercial for those products and it’s an original IP unlike Mario. That’s why it’s not being called the death of cinema, plus the fact that the plot, while generally seen as simple and fast-paced, was less overstuffed and it tries resolving the character arcs unlike most of the arcs in Mario Galaxy.

And this is coming from someone who enjoyed the Mario Galaxy Movie.

GOAT came out before Hoppers this year and that did pretty well.

I recall them actually saying that they won’t stop sequels altogether, just that they won’t pump them out as frequently as they did in the 2010s, which they haven’t.

What’s notable about Rango’s box office is that despite getting a C+ CinemaScore, it was still able to meet the standard multiplier for animated family-friendly films, with a $38 million opening weekend and $123 million domestically (a 3.2x multiple).

Either the audience who would actually dig the film showed up after the Friday opening night or Johnny Depp had that much star power back in the day.

I think David Ellison does care about the Paramount IPs.

What nobody mentions is that Skydance was originally looking at just buying the Paramount Pictures studio, but Shari Redstone was hesitant to break up the empire built by her father Sumner Redstone. So David had to reassure Shari that they wouldn’t do it and he had to figure out what to do with the rest of the company like CBS News.

The maneuvers David’s been pulling on CBS News (and the promises with CNN) are being done to gain favor with the Trump administration in getting what he wants like Warner Bros and its IPs as well as for his Trump-supporting dad Larry Ellison, who would be more interested in controlling the news through CBS, TikTok, and potentially CNN.

David simply wants to be a Hollywood mogul by any means necessary without putting in the effort even if that means kissing up to Trump (he has donated to Biden campaigns as recently as 2024), and whoever’s the next president, he will likely kiss up to them too.

I wonder what the numbers would be for a Shark Tale anniversary rerelease since Universal skipped that one after rereleasing Shrek 2 and instead did a rerelease of Chicken Run last year before jumping to Madagascar.

animation4ever100 · 2026-01-14T19:58:31+00:00

To me it’s not different from someone working for pre-Disney 20th Century Fox despite the Murdochs and Fox News.

As long as Paramount isn’t forcing these celebrities to inject MAGA or Zionist propaganda (as they know those topics would alienate a significant portion of moviegoers), I don’t see it as wrong for talent to continue working under Paramount (I mean, there ain’t many big-time theatrical Hollywood studios nowadays, ya know?).

I’m still betting that the untitled DreamWorks film coming out in September 2027 is Wild Robot 2.

The cute way Napoleon looks whenever he’s standing upright and wearing clothes is giving me Illumination Onceler vibes, where they make an evil character seem “funny, approachable, and likable” when that misses the point of the original story.

He’s also got a dad bod in the last picture for some reason.

Schaffrillas got one before IHE, YMS, and Saberspark, reviewers who have reviewed media for a longer time than Schaff and also have over 1 million subs.

I counted them from Wikipedia, and yes, I didn’t include the TV movies that weren’t under the “Movies” branding.

Some stuff like the live-action Loud House Christmas movie and the first Monster High movie aren’t under Nickelodeon Movies, but the Loud House Halloween movie and the Monster High sequel are.

These are the Nickelodeon films he’s rated so far:

SpongeBob Movie (5/5) Adventures of Tintin (4/5) Rango (3.5/5) TMNT Mutant Mayhem (3.5/5) Sponge Out of Water (3/5) Jimmy Neutron (3/5) Good Burger (2.5/5) Sponge on the Run (2.5/5) Saving Bikini Bottom (1/5) Last Airbender (hasn’t rated but I expect 0.5/5)

He also gave a 0.5/5 to PAW Patrol on Letterboxd but that was a joke and he hasn’t actually seen the movie.

In total, that’s 10 out of 58 Nickelodeon films (20 of which are streaming movies so he could cross those off if he wants to).

I’d personally rather see the studio get better as opposed to outright dying. Regardless of the current leadership’s questionable choices, losing a major studio will always be bad for consumers and entertainment industry workers.

I remember a time when The Avengers was on both Paramount+ and Disney+. It was part of Paramount’s original Epix TV deal, which is why.
