The problem with children is that some are super sensitive and will have nightmares of any show that isn’t complete mush, and there are some kids that thirst for blood and love disturbing shit. The “kids are sensitive and can’t be shown dark things” vs “kids can take anything” angles don’t take into account that kids cover a range of sensitivities
Some kids are kind of both, and can handle disturbing things happening to the characters but not blood and guts, or the other way around where blood and guts are fine but realistic psychological horror will scare them in an entirely un-fun way. I was the third type of kid; I loved Animorphs, which is infamous for hiding a dark and morally grey war story behind silly-looking covers (ReBoot’s third season – which I also adored – had some similar themes with fewer limbs getting ripped off, though a main character does lose an eye on screen), and at age twelve I was terrified of the dentist from Little Shop of Horrors. (Not the plant! The dentist.)
Everyone’s like “those Germans have a word for everything” but English has a word for tricking someone into watching the music video for Rick Astley’s Never Gonna Give You Up.
This is either going to be the most wonderfully educational post I’ve seen all night, or else this is five (5) links to the music video for Rick Astley’s Never Gonna Give You Up.
when a character turns their head and you hear bones cracking
Also really good
Person doesn’t want to animate walking, so they either have the characters slide on the ground while or just fucking fling them into the shot
Other fun ones: -Sliding along the walls/ceiling when a spot can’t be accessed by walking -N64 music is constantly lurking around -When a character slaps another character or object and it goes flying somehow -Ed Edd and Eddy sound effects
-When an upright character moves into a shot but their legs are still subject to ragdoll physics so even though their torso has stopped moving, their legs are jiggling wildly
why is concept art always 300% better than the final product especially in western animation
99% of the replies to this are twelve page essays about how time consuming it would be to animate concept art like . buddy. i know. im in film school for animation. u ppl needa know how 2 see a funie joke on the internet and move on without takin it so seriously
aight but have none of those ppl seen The Book of Life bc uh lemme tell you
the concept art and the finalized versions of sets, characters, and scenes in the film look THE SAME. The Book of Life had a lower budget than Frozen too so uh…….. 👀 y’all need to open ya eyes
tbh the book of life looked even better than its concept art
Book of Life cost only $50 million yet it looks more vibrant and colorful than a movie that cost $150 million. How is that possible!?
