@twiggy-mouse Just read the Zootopia Quora session with the directors, and it might be confirmed that reptiles and amphibians and birds exist in other cities in Zootopia’s world. They focused on mammals in this setting, but it’s entirely possible if they continue with this we might see these cities!
I CAN’T WAIT FOR EAGLE PEOPLE AND ALLIGATOR PEOPLE AND KOMODO DRAGONS. YEEEEEE.
I didn’t expect for that answer, and was really excited for it. Out there there’s a land of reptiles and birds and amphibians. I’d be freaked out with the frogs though, and the lizards. I’m sorry. Anole lizards freak me out.
OH MAN I LOVE LIZARDS THOUGH I had a pet lizard once… but this also would mean like, snake people? Would that be a thing? Could there be a Cobra person out there that just, slithers its way through the city? Can they wear clothes and slither at the same time? Or would they curled up in a little snake wad in a wheelchair instead? I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS AND ALL OF THEM ARE VERY STRANGE XD
I DON’T HATE THEM. I am just terrified of them. For some reason they do, and it’s the way they have arms and legs UNLIKE SNAKES. But what about poisonous snakes/reptiles? Are they de-fanged, is their toxin somehow taken out? Oh gosh, their Social Security Services Office is ran by tortoises, and the DMV has turtles. Except snapping turtles…those suckers are feisty, jk. THE STRANGE QUESTIONS ARE THE BEST ONES. Shows how much you care.
Pilot film of Funan, the new people french animated feature film by Denis Do (inspired by his mother’s personal story during the Khmer Rouge era in Cambodia).
I cannot speak for anyone but myself, but as much as I am shipper trash, and I am, I am not going to be disappointed if they don’t end up romantical in any future Zootopia endeavors. Really.
This is the very definition of blessed if you do, blessed if you don’t.
It’s true that man/woman does not have to automatically warrant a romance and it can get tired and tedious when forced. It’s not like a box you have to check off. But that doesn’t mean every time a romance does pop up it is forced. Sometimes the story wouldn’t work without it. Sometimes things just click with you.
Go there if you feel like it, but it’s not a requirement. If you do feel like it, don’t hold back just for the sake of holding back cause platonic male/female relationships are more rare, that can feel just as forced.
I want to add that, I do agree with everything said, but for the sake of the shipping, I ask that they don’t get romantic involved with anyone else, if you go for the platonic round.
OH, I feel ya. I feel the same about romantic love triangles.
Though I also tend to subscribe to the idea that there is nothing that can’t work and work well, it just a matter of execution. Probably goes without saying, but it depends on the story and how it’s being told.
Look dude Disney face characters have these majorly important specifications that come with playing the character you have all this shit typed up about how the character is supposed to behave and interact with fans and other characters and the actors have to follow it to the letter and NICK AND JUDY KISSED ON A FLOAT THAT BASICALLY MAKES THEM CANON BECAUSE THEY WOULDN’T HAVE DONE IT UNLESS IT WAS ALLOWED OR SPECIFIED THE CHARACTER DESCRIPTION

Google honors pioneering female animator Lotte Reiniger with doodle
Thursday’s Google Doodle is a short, wordless animated tribute to the one of the first female trailblazers in film, Lotte Reiniger. Born 117 years ago June 2, Reiniger’s animations were laborious works of art, consisting of hand-cut pieces of card and air. Watch Google’s tribute and her original work.
“With the box office-busting Disney film set for home entertainment release on June 7, the most pressing question surrounding Zootopia — which opened on March 4 and has since grossed a whopping $993 million worldwide — is what comes next.
‘The fan response is a huge help for that kind of thing,’ says co-director Byron Howard, who says he and co-director Rich Moore were overwhelmed by audience reactions to the grown-up kid caper. 'I think we all loved the world so much and got so attached to the characters, that we actually got a little sad when the film finally came out [because] we felt like, ‘Well, we’re kind of done with it.’ And it’s nice that there’s this potential for it to get bigger.’
No plans have been announced as of yet, but if its studio predecessors are any indication, Zootopia stands to take a few leaps following its theatrical run.
'We cut a lot out during the making of the film,’ says Howard. 'We introduced districts that we talked about that couldn’t fit in, other characters that we eliminated from the movie. There’s a vast potential for this world, so I’d love to see something more come from it.'”
“On May 29, 1941, 334 employees of the Disney animation studio walked out on strike (303 employees remained on the inside). The events that led up to the strike are too numerous to recount here, but suffice to say, tensions had been building at the studio since the runaway success of the studio’s first film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in 1937, and employees of the studio had a litany of grievances from low wages and salary cuts to arbitrary layoffs, arcane bonus distribution systems, and oppressively long hours (including mandatory work on Saturdays).
The strikers vowed to stay on the picket lines until Walt Disney recognized their union. With neither side willing to give in, the event lasted into the fall, turning uglier and lasting longer than either side had ever imagined. In the end, the workers won, and neither the Disney company nor the animation industry would ever be the same again.
The union is not a panacea for all of the animation industry’s labor ills. It is also not the strongest union in Hollywood, not by a long shot. But to this day, it remains the best option for artists who want to earn pensions and medical insurance, and ensure that they have basic workers’ rights. Union shops in Los Angeles understand that they can’t take advantage of their employees, which is why some of them like Titmouse try to skirt the system by launching satellite studios in other parts of the United States where they can pay employees less than a living wage.
The current president of Walt Disney Animation Studios, Ed Catmull, is staunchly anti-union, and has fought tooth-and-nail to keep the company he co-founded, Pixar, a union-free shop. As a result, even though Pixar is now owned by Disney, and even though Pixar has been the most financially successful animation studio in America for the last twenty years, the average starting wage for animators at the studio remains below unionized feature animation workers.
Seventy-five years after the start of the Disney strike, as we honor the sacrifices of the brave women and men who improved workplace conditions for themselves and tens of thousands of artists who followed them, we must recognize that there is still plenty of work to do and that improving the industry’s welfare is a shared responsibility passed from one generation to the next. As for Disney, let’s just say the strike worked out pretty well for them, too: the company today is worth $163 billion, making it the most valuable entertainment conglomerate currently in the world.”
