When will Calarts bean mouths die already? It's one of the ugliest character artstyles ever invented.

Who the fuck even knows?
It's about anxiety and his aunt not approving of him being a poof or something.
Why would old hags think they should be the ones to tackle boy's mental health?

Unironically when you become a CalArts instructor anon. YOU teach current gen kids to stylize and good fucking luck with that, art has been evolving, from mimicking realism to stylization, to experimental narratives to a current complete focus on narratives about personal issues in spite of losing the art of stylization. Whoever is teaching in CalArts right now will have to inspire the students to stop fucking moping around their mommy issues and bring the focus back to childrens stories, except childrens stories have been dead for over a century.

I was already mad about Turning Red, cos China sanitizes their image with "panda diplomacy". If she cared about CCP's brutality to anyone who doesn't take their micromanaging, why is she using a panda (china=red) for identity? Find some other shit a genocidal regime isn't using for PR.

in the movie the panda represents horny pussy

I'm more angry about the retarded revisionism. In 2002 elementary school kids didn't had cell phones, only office workers and busy adults did, let alone use them as if they were modern smartphones.

In Disneys kind, hordes of brown immigrant children. In reality no one

>>211858491
That's the point. Anyway animation is dead as an industry.

>>211860687
me and my teenage friends definitely did in 2001-2003. you're right not kids, but wrong that it was office workers.

>>211861086
2003 I can believe, but 2001? No way, in 2001 most adults still used beepers, some used cell phones and top professionals used Pocket PCs like the Palm Pilot.

>>211861296
2001 is late for having a phone in the west. Palm devices weren't very expensive, most people had at the least a Nokia, early web browsing on phones was in the 90s (WEP). You're either from a non top ten economy or your memory is fucked.

>elementary school kids
teenage, yeah. I started high school in 2001 and we had cellphone and already texted a lot. But I don't think they did in elementary. Maybe not even much in middle school.

>>211861296
>No way, in 2001 most adults still used beepers,
I don't even think you're wrong, even if my dad had a cellphone back then. They were fucking boomers after all, a lot of them were out of touch.
But kids in high school had cellphone in 2001

Bitches will literally do a 300 million project instead of going to therapy
Maybe they hire psycologists as consultants and then pass off their services as "business expenses"?

>>211858498
>Young boys
False. If I had seen that trailer for this as a young boy, I would have immediately thought it was for girls because of the soft designs and lack of violence, then I would have gone back to reading my Judge Dredd comics.

>>211861296
Nokia 3310s were ubiquitous in my western european school; snake and texting were important activities.

bluesky and resetera

>>211861296
>>211866895
2001 anon - the Nokias wave was 2002 for me but in 2001 it was other brands like one was Motorola flip phone. In 2001 it was like every third guy not everyone with one

>>211866993
I think the 3310 was either the 2nd or 3rd phone I had, the first were hand me downs from my dad in the late 90s and you're right they weren't used constantly like today, just emergency "come pick up" phones. But the 3310 absolutely was, and it was released in 2000. And having elementary kids act older isn't exactly surprising for hollywood.

I think the problem is that the trailers don't even show what the stakes are.

> boy who wants to be abducted gets abducted and [???] happens
Why would I bother watching the film with this premise?

>>211858400 (OP)
It's intended for adults that want to imagine it's what kids would enjoy.

Similar to Steven Universe. Bores actual kids, so develops more of an audience with adults who want a 'safe' thing to enjoy.

>>211858491
Took me a while to realize part of what's happening with designs like this is roundedness is coded as being kids while sharp angles are for mature/serious characters.

>>211858498
Looks fun.

>young boy accidentally becomes earth's ambassador to aliens

Honestly that's not all that bad of a premise but the character design is just too fucking ugly and gay looking

I could see young boys that would otherwise be drawn into the idea being alienated by just how gay the main character looks

>>211858491
Can it die if that's all students are being taught?

>>211867483
The trailer showed 90% of the movie and all the stakes though.

It's more tragic when you remember this was supposed to be Pixar's big "we still know how to make boy movies" picture and it turned into another generic "my differences are what make me special" slop.
Disney ruined Pixar's writing.

The director and his friends.
Seriously, it's hyper-specific and alienating when it's always the director or writer's self-insert whining about how hard it is to be a child of non white ethnicity : Turning Red for Asians, Elio for beaners etc. There was a good article in The New Yorker about this phenomenon (titled There Is More Than One Way to Be Exhausted by “Turning Red”) which pointed out that 'If one sees the movie as too sexualized or adult-themed for a young audience, that suggests only the conservatism and squeamishness of the critic.'

>>211868321
Elio is about being a military brat

Wanted to watch this in Germany with my wife's son (3 years old).
>FSK 6
>UCI website: mindestens 6 Jahre, auch in Begleitung Erwachsener
I honestly don't know. I don't know anyone who goes to the movies at all at this point

>>211867857
Those films have more substance than that, Elio barely engages with the profundity of space.

>>211868360
>The film was conceived by Molina as a "personal coming-of-age story about youthful alienation."[9] Molina was inspired by his childhood growing up at a military base and eventual enrollment at the California Institute of the Arts when developing the film's story. Director Madeline Sharafian described his feelings on the private art school by saying "he felt like he'd found his people there, he'd found his world".[18] After working on the project for a couple of years, Molina felt like he "ultimately wasn't the one to see it to the finish line," exiting the film in order to work on Coco 2 (2029).[19]

it's funny because they have women in the writing and directing seat for it. but when they make a movie like Moana or Soul they have a "story trust" from those people to make sure they're getting it right

who wants to watch this pansy shit? young boys are already watching skibidi toilet, hardcore porn, alpha content and shooting niggas in video games.

The panda virus killed the theaters so the movie and production companies are getting comped by willfully producing bombs stinkers and flops.
Honk honk.
