The Nut Job fandom is dying

Repost if you are a true nutter

Going off of videos and reviews of Zootopia: Better Zoogether, it seems like I would feel the same way I do with Tiana’s Bayou Adventure.

A cute attraction that’s good for cooling off when it’s hot, but a step down from its predecessor in the story/stakes and impressiveness.

Saw KPop Demon Hunters again in theaters since it was brought back this weekend.

Still crowded, but everyone else was behind me, and the reactions weren’t as energetic as it was last time. I also barely heard anyone else singing. Don’t worry though, I sealed the honmoon alone!

Happy Halloween everyone! Hope you’re having a spooky night!

I got an account on Backloggd, which is like Letterboxd but for video games.

I do think the website can be frustrating to use on my phone since there's no separate app for it, but it's mostly fine for what it is. I'll link my account below.

I move that she starts a new creator-driven animation studio out of spite. Maybe get Vanessa Coffey on board too.

Bad Bunny and Will Ferrell Film ‘Dropz’ Among Five New Projects in Development at Paramount Animation, Says Chief Ramsey Naito (EXCLUSIVE) Paramount Animation's Ramsey Naito has revealed new projects in development, including the Bad Bunny and Will Ferrell-produced "Dropz".

Remember all these announcements from summer 2024? Well get ready to see them added to “Cancelled or inactive projects” on the studio’s Wikipedia. variety.com/2024/film/ne...

She never even got a chance to get her batch of originals and book adaptations greenlit like the previous eras of Paramount Animation. Now they’re either going to not happen at all or be heavily tampered with by whoever runs the studio next (which hopefully ain’t John Lasseter).

(She technically started her Paramount era with TMNT Mutant Mayhem and two PAW Patrol movies, but those were strictly Nickelodeon, and Transformers One was greenlit before she took charge of Paramount Animation, even if she had to see it completed)

Ramsey Naito’s only Paramount Animation film that was fully developed and released under her watch was Smurfs 2025, which wasn’t a good start admittedly.

Naito’s next projects (SpongeBob, TMNT 2, Avatar) have a stronger chance of performing well, making this layoff all the more shocking.

This right here is why Paramount Animation can never be on the level of its peers in the animated film industry. They NEVER keep a steady leadership no matter what. After a president greenlights and releases one film, they’re suddenly out.

I feel so bad for Ramsey Naito, man.

What Could Have Been: A Look at Vanguard Animation’s Defunct Pipeline When it comes to investigating and researching the remains of a defunct animation company, Vanguard Animation continues to be a

I haven't seen the new Twits movie on Netflix yet, but I remember that before Netflix got the rights to Roald Dahl's works, Twits was gonna have an animated film by Vanguard Animation, and it would've been directed by Conrad Vernon.

One of many Vanguard films that went nowhere.

TIL there’s a character designer on the 90s direct-to-video Corduroy series who asked, “You know what a Corduroy adaptation needs? An attractive polar bear woman!”

Okay, since Zootopia 1 cut reptiles and primates during development (the former was cut to simplify the world, and the latter because they're too similar to humans) and Zootopia 2 introduced reptiles, I expect Zootopia 3 to introduce primates.

There's HUGE potential there.

Since this was a Fathom Event, there were no traditional previews. Before the Fathom Feature Presentation, there were trailers for Fathom’s Boy and the Heron Ghibli Fest release and the Twilight Saga rereleases. Oh, and the Stitch Head trailer (the only “normal” one).

ParaNorman holds up so well 13 years later. Watching it in the same theater I saw it in when it first released is a big treat! I was laughing really hard too.

They also played a preview for Laika’s Wildwood and the CG short film The Thrifting, both of which were cool additions!

I assume Nickelodeon kept certain aspects of Doug even after selling it to Disney like the original music and MAYBE things that were altered in the Disney version like the Honker Burger.

Does Nickelodeon own more minor easy-to-slip-into aspects like the character designs or even voices?

Abcnews graphic: surreal moment as coyote drinks water from skylight window on top of Los Angeles hair salon (Image of exactly that, except the framing is canted and as a result it looks like a coyote imprisoned in a glass square a la the phantom zone from Superman)

I understand why they had to stop him but I don’t agree with imprisoning him in the phantom zone

The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie has joined the One Million Watched Club on Letterboxd 🧽

Animation took up 8 spots in the Gen Z study group’s top 25 answers to “Favorite show or movie” (9 if you count Spider-Man since they never specify which one).

SpongeBob SquarePants, Family Guy, KPop Demon Hunters, Tom & Jerry, Rick & Morty, Naruto, Bob’s Burgers, and Coraline.

I am now 25 years old! A big milestone number in terms of birthdays, indeed.

It just sounds so old…

My funny head canon for Toy Story 2 is that Andy’s mom works for Nintendo or someone she knows does, and that’s why Andy has an SNES console with Nintendo Switch 2 level graphics.

Nintendo felt the world wasn’t ready for them until 2025.

Trailers:

Muzzle: The City of Wolves

Anaconda

Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere

Wuthering Heights

Good Fortune

Black Phone 2

Regretting You

The Running Man (modified to include Skydance’s byline in the Paramount logo)

I saw Roofman, AKA one of my favorite “true story” movies, like, ever. Great performances from everyone and well-shot.

It is more of a drama than the trailers hinted. Maybe Paramount didn’t know how to sell “Criminal hides in Toys R Us” as anything but funny.
