“Do dishes” and “take out trash” both require the use of a spell slot, vs “use phone” is a cantrip, and brother, I am a level one wizard

#Happy Labor Day to Shrek I guess

[taavicleric]

So, this scene is specifically a fuck off to famously anti-union Disney. But it goes beyond the dialogue. Look at Puss on Shrek's shoulders. Puss's movement is counter balancing Shrek's so that he stays up there. It's a lot of movement, a lot of animation, for a character who isn't talking. Every time they have to animate that feather in his hat, that's extra work, extra care, extra money, and that's just one element of the work, there. The animators could have chosen to put Puss on Donkey- look at Donkey's relatively small amount of movement compared to Shrek or Puss. But they didn't, they put him on Shrek's shoulders and they animated him. Why might they do this as a fuck-you to Disney? Well. Disney is not only anti-union, they are cheap as fuck. There's a lot of recycled rotoscoping in Disney movies in the 1970s because they were cheaping out on the process so they didn't have to pay rotoscopers. There are probably other examples, but, they recycle their own work a lot, and I assume most Tumblrinas have probably seen that video of the scenes from Robin Hood and Jungle Book and 101 Dalmations directly compared with scenes from Snow White and several animated cartoons that the rotoscoping was taken from. The reason that Don Bluth left Disney to start his own company (not Dreamworks, but, this is the example that I have) was because on The Rescuers, there were a lot of examples of the whites of eyes not being painted in- you can see it a LOT with Bernard, especially in action sequences. Don was told that the reason for this was that it was too expensive. He thought it looked like what it is, unprofessional and unfinished for a company that's allegedly got Disney money and Disney quality, so he went off and did the math and was like, "It doesn't cost shit." And Disney told him to shut up and stop colouring in the whites of the eyes. So he left. And you can see the kind of "needless" art he did in movies like The Land Before Time and The Secret of NIMH where there's a LOT of attention to detail in the art and in the animation.

We're seeing the same thing here with Shrek and Puss. While talking about union protections for union workers, in a nod intended to stick it to Disney, they are showing animators, "Look. We didn't need to animate this scene like this, you know this. But we did. We spent the money. We're pro union and we didn't cheap out."

"grace, why is there glove on your door, question?"

"oh that's uh -- i put that on there when i need to remember something. so when i'm leaving i see it."

"oh, okay. this is human culture?"

"well, uh, no. just me."

"mmm. this is grace culture."

he laughs. "grace culture, yeah."

"so what grace need to remember?"

"ummmm... uhh.. i forget."

"not good system. grace culture not very advanced."

"hey, it works sometimes!"

-later-

"grace have attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, statement."

"don't you mean question?"

"no question. statement. rocky research on my portable earth thinking machine!"

"rockkk, what did i say about using webmd on me. you can't just be diagnosing me with stuff."

"apology. rocky will not use webmd to diagnose grace. even if grace has all symptoms of deadly cancer."

"i don't have cancer, rock. it tells everyone that."

grace gets up to leave.

"besides," he says, tapping rocky as he walks past him. "the earth doctors already told me i had adhd when i was 12."

rocky swears he heard him wink.

[robotslenderman]

can you imagine tho if Eridians discovered radiation years and years after the Blip-A left

and they're just absolutely horrified because now they know why the Blip-A never returned, they sent them all to die, now to save their sun they have to redo the entire program all over again and Adrian is devastated -

and then three Eridian years later Rocky shows up with his pet alien and a ton of taumeoba all I LIVED BITCH

[stealingpotatoes]

"grace. grace! grace give attention. rocky perform human ritual of escape closet now. statement."

"come again?"

"i learn more from thinking machine. human gender preference. attraction to same gender, means word 'gay.' all eridian same gender." rocky stands straight up. "rocky come out to grace now. all rocky plural gay, statement."

"...wow, that's... rock, i'm not sure it makes much sense to apply human ideas of sexual orientation to a monogendered species."

a long and judgmental pause. then:

"grace HOMOPHOBIC, question????"

[sharkfiinn]

i love this part so much theyre so stupid . look at them

[chernozemm]

Love the soft, curious moments of them sharing about their own cultures, biology, etc. I do think Rocky would have a field day when Grace explains skin as a very sensitive and permeable organ with lots of stuff packed tight on the surface. Since goosebumps are very tactile, I thought Rocky would enjoy hearing those.

Also, bonus.

Because it is endlessly entertaining to me to consider how deep in the trenches Rocky is.
