Me to american animation: I know your stories are great buy why does your animation suck so bad?
American animation: We have to create simplified characters to make the movement faster and more creative and interesting.
Me glancing at Japan:
Me: k.
Hey you know what studios do in America? Due to animators unionizing, instead of paying all the animators proper wage they started sending animation to be done over seas to lower labor costs. Now most studios’ animation are shipped to Korea and China and etc., which means the designs for the characters have to be simplified for easy character animation. Not to mention the history of American animation overall and how the American cartoon style has led towards more simplified styles over the years.
Also animation in Japan, while it does have plenty sakuga stuff, are actually just budget dumps for the best fight scenes. During normal scenes, characters can be very static and has a lot of holds. There’s also the mouth-flapping thing that a lot of animators in America detest. Everything is revolved around budgets for both countries. For America, to pay animators working wages they decided to cut costs and ship labor overseas. For Japan it means terrible working hours and labor, where plenty of animators have fallen ill or even die in their own cubicles.
So watch your fucking language and learn animation history. People like you are the reason why a lot of studios are cutting costs on their workers in America.
at first i was like “why did they make those things in his head weird growths and not hair??” but then i looked it up on the Pokemon Wiki and
It was never hair and Mr. Mime has always been terrifying
That’s the only part of that entry you found terrifying?
this post gets worse everytime i see it
This is the best holyday cause in Mexico we get two extra days of spooky, hot chocolate and pan de muerto bitches
Yes hi, I’m just going to casually drop this on my blog
!. I’m a hoe for protagonists, side characters and villains with precise goals and who fit the theme. I’m also a hoe for theme and consistent assuring so the audience knows what’s up.
2. It showed my culture to mass audiences and showed them that we’re not criminals or grotesque monster the media and president keeps saying we are. We love our family and protect our own. I can’t speak for every Mexican (because I don’t know everyone’s story), but I can tell you as stubborn or prideful as we are. We truly want what’s best for our family. We go above and beyond for the people we love who are living and are dead. WE VALUE FAMILY FOLKS.
3. Mi abuelita y mi abuelito were on screen. Imelda and Hector really remind me of my grandparents, because Imelda was rightfully pissed off at Hector for being an ass and abandoning his family. But they had one thing in common: they loved family. They would move mountains for their family. And that’s my grandparents. They had their problems and issues, but they would do anything for their family.
4. I saw myself in Miguel. I have dreams that don’t coincide with what my family expects of me. They’re supportive, but they’re very hesitant and scared for me. Which is understandable. There are days where I feel like it’s more of an idea than a reality. It is an idea. But as Frida Kahlo said to Miguel in the movie “You’re an artist” .
5. My family in Mexico on both sides of my family never forget my name even after many years and just make life better when I come by to visit. It’s like I never left. Coco reflected that. Even in death, your loved ones are warm and congenial to you. It’s what Dia de Los Muertos is about. Celebrating your loved ones, never forgetting them and loving them when they’re not there to receive your hug.
Anyway, I’m bawling my eyes out in university lounge.
Here’s some music my grandparents listened to
Feliz Dia de Los Muertos, amigos.
Preach, dude. It’s about time the media didn’t portray us as some sort of violent or aggressive crowd. Especially with how our ‘beloved president’ constantly berates us like garbage.
Y'know uh… when the trailer for Coco was released on YouTube, I saw the amount of criticism it was getting because apparently another film about ‘Dia de los Muertos’ is a total ripoff of The Book of Life?¿?¿ Even despite the fact that we have like 1838282718372772 Christmas films in the US that no one says anything about?¿?¿ But I on the other hand was stoked as heck. Why? Because for once, I was finally getting a movie on my culture.
And god damn, I was not disappointed.
