I’ve realized I don’t like animated “anthro animal” movies when there’s 1. No point of them being animals or 2. Them being animals isn’t taken advantage of world building and design wise.

[the-old-cha0s-smith]

Real talk tho, my biggest gripe with SING is the fact that having all the characters be anthro animals was kinda unnecessary. If anything, I think people would be able to relate to and enjoy the characters more if they were actual humans. Cos that’s the thing, them being animals in the movie is seriously… Wasted I guess? They all move and act like humans, there was no interesting factors to be brought in by them being animals. 

And I know what you’re thinking: Oh, well that’s the point of anthro animals, they’re supposed to move and act like humans. 

Which I understand! But, there should still be some creative liberties you when making characters (who could have easily been humans) as animals. 

For example:

Aside from a few nods to their “ original animal behavior”, everyone really does just behave like human people, and as previously stated, I feel a better connection could have been made with these characters if you made them humans; them being animals feels almost gimmicky in this movie. 

But with Kung Fu Panda on the other hand:

It almost ALWAYS takes into account that these characters are animals, which adds so much charm to them and really opens up a lot of creative opportunities for world building and character interactions. 

Like, this is a super obvious/minor addition in the animation, but I always loved how they have Monkey walk on his knuckles

It would have been super easy to just have him walk on both feet, with practically little to no complaints I think. 

Anyways, I didn’t think that far ahead so I have no way to wrap this up, thank you for coming to my TED talk and remember to wash your hands.

So there’s this artist, Alex Schaefer, who makes a bunch of paintings of Chase Bank burning.

There’s just

so many of these

and I think it’s incredibly funny but

I just read this bit from the artist and

This is a "plein air" painting which means I set up my easel right across the street of this Chase bank in my city and painted it like it had caught fire. The police questioned me on the spot. Three weeks later Homeland Security was knocking on the door to my home. The question they kept asking me was "Do you hate these banks?" I can honestly say yes.

And I just think this is the greatest artist statement I’ve ever read.
