Another fine example of just how good Antic is at what he does. A video that REALLY delves into so much and how A Charlie Brown Christmas came to be...
...and one that is just as good as the special that it covers. There's a reason why it has stood the test of time for 6 decades...

Sixty years ago today, A Charlie Brown Christmas premiered on television screens. The story of how the Peanuts gang got to the screens is quite a journey through trials, tribulations, and stupid execs. Join me and discover When Peanuts Became Animated.

Today I learned that The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants started life as a streaming spin off film and would have centered on Mr. Krabs.
Considering that there were plans for more SpongeBob streaming spin off films after Saving Bikini Bottom and Plankton, this doesn't surprise me.

Getting to see the original 1977 version of Star Wars on the big screen in IMAX would be quite something.
This is a massive deal.

No more mergers. Please.
Skydance has already done an abysmal job of handling Paramount and I gurantee Netflix's handling of WB will be no better.

VERY happy that what has been going on at Paramount did not affect Mutant Mayhem 2 at all. Even more happy that a third one is also in the works.
I have adored this interpretation of the turtles very much, and my hopes for the sequel are high. Hope it doesn't disappoint.

I still love Wolfington and there is that part of me that hopes WildeHopps could still happen.
But I also still love that Zootopia 2 made Judy and Nick platonic and really continued to explore more of their relationship and what makes them stick.

Zootopia 2 didn't quite do it.
But it still did something WONDERFUL with Judy and Nick.

I'm not the kind of person who likes to compare one similiar film to the other on social media, but...

Amazon is a terrible company and one that has done many shady things.
And them removing the AI anime dubs really could not have been a better decision. Calling big companies out does work.

I think it's fine if a film is meant to be a crowd pleaser, but I do think both fans and critics offer valuable feedback.
Critics offer a more casual yet critical perspective on if a movie works on it's own merits, while audiences offer a look into if a movie does the source material justice.

Sorry, but I don’t think having any film be "not for the critics" be the best excuse or goal for any film to have. At all.
Or let alone have TOO much fan feedback.

All animated films NEED to end with this from now on.
Proof that they weren't just the work of 1 or 2 people, but rather, a massively and incredibly talented team.

Wake Up, Dead Man:
With a slick mystery at it's center, gorgeous asthetics, and a top tier ensemble cast, Wake Up, Dead Man continues Johnson's Knives Out trilogy with a ton of grace and is one terrific detective film. Benoit Blanc is still good guy.
9.5/10

Genuinely was NOT expecting to see Lou Romano's name at the end of Wake Up, Dead Man. The man is a freaking legend and not only voiced both Bernie and Luigini, but he also worked on so many beloved and highly regarded films and shows.
It was also fantastic on the big screen too.

David Ellison needs to go and he's only been leading Paramount for 3 and half months
Of course someone like him can let Brett Ratner continue to have a career
He's already done the same for people like John Lasseter and Jeff Shell
