This fake yarn is supposedly better for sheep.

Aimed at people who don’t know where wool comes from, it’s 100% plastic. Yes, plastic.

So any garment you wash will release microfibres into the sea. It’ll never decompose.

You’re supposed to believe that sheep shearing is violent and cruel. There are imbeciles out there that work in an unprofessional manner while shearing, but that’s not the case overall.

Sheep don’t suffer from having their fleece removed.

Left on, the fleece can become a home for fly eggs and the subsequent maggots which can eat the sheep. Chemical treatments are available to prevent that happening. It’s much better for the sheep, the land and the farmer to avoid chemical use.

Don’t be fooled. Wool is a sustainable material, one we should make more and better use of.

So I saw this tweet and all that came to mind was the men who came up with those terms who probably lived in terrible fear that an unmarried woman might reach the ancient age of thirty and ascend to True Royalty, then proceed to dethrone the current rulers and become the rightful Queen of the land.

You know the main problem with the “live action” Lion King? Why it looks so lifeless?

The hyper realistic style is actually limiting the animators, rather than freeing them. The style makes it much harder to have memorable character designs and good expressions. Real lions don’t need to do things like emote in a way that humans can understand – but characters in a film do. The original movie was more cartoony not due to animation limitations of the time, but because that style genuinely serves the story better.

To show you what I mean, compare these two shots of Simba, from right after Scar says “run away and never return.”

Here is a clear reaction, with a strong beat for us to connect with before the character makes a decision. Even without any dialogue, even without any context, you can understand the emotion there just by the expression and the mannerisms. Is it realistic? No! He’s bright yellow and has eyebrows. But do we empathize with him? Yes!

Meanwhile, here is… a lion. Turning and running. No expression, no beats, no character moments, nothing. He actually can’t express himself because the animators are locked into the realistic style. If they tried to animate a strong expression as warranted for the scene, it would look terrible. Is it realistic? Hell yeah! Look at those textures! Look at that fur! But do we empathize with him? …nah. Not really.

To conclude: when you’re retelling Hamlet with a bunch of animated lions, cartoonish-ness is your friend, not your enemy.

no hate for u specifically op, b/c ur far from the first person I’ve seen making this argument, but I’m getting sick of ppl failing to grasp that realism isn’t the failure here

one of the most beautiful movies I’ve ever seen– and easily one of the most realistic in terms of CGI animals– is Guardians of Ga’hoole

now I’m not gonna get into how the movie was adapted or how certain changes may or may not have affected the story/characters, I’m only talking aesthetic and style here

and y’know what this highly realistic style does?

it delivers scenes like this

realism doesn’t just make this scene look real– it punches you in the goddamn gut with the color, framing, and intense zoom-in

and what about the characters? do they show any real emotion?

look at these expressions– these microexpressions! I bet you can easily name every expression here w/o even knowing the context of the scenes! and the realism is absolutely critical here– from the slight pulse of contracting pupils, to a twitch of the cheek. realism shines best in the subtle details

the people animating Ga’hoole clearly had a clear, vibrant vision which they were passionate to deliver. they knew how to bend light and color to grip the audience, they knew how to map gorgeous landscapes and feathered bodies alike, and most importantly they knew where to emphasize owl body language vs. where to emphasize anthropomorphic body language

realism isn’t failing these stories– Disney is 

Disney doesn’t fucking care about these stories. if they did, then we’d be getting more Ga’hoole-esque realism– it’s not like they don’t have the budget for it compared to other studios. they rly don’t have any excuse beyond apathy, b/c ppl are gonna shill out to see any movie Disney’s name is attached to, no matter how shit

I have a great respect for both cartoony and realistic styles, and I’m tired of ppl blaming the tool instead of the person wielding it

[feral-anarchy]

AMEN!!! Its not realism, its lack of care!
