One of them still has a white character, surprisingly

You’d be hard-pressed nowadays to know there are any white people in America/Europe, much less that they are the MAJORITY, if the commercials and pop culture movies are any indication.
This is what it's like now. Imagine what it's going to be like in 20 years.
You can't imagine anything good, can you?
In ten years the west went from begrudgingly hiring white men because they get shit done to outright adopting an "a few million deaths by negligence and incompetence are a small price to pay for diversity" mindset. I'm expecting boxcars by 2030, unless the Saxon can begin to hate before then.
Boxcars either way.
What about we crash container ships with millions of refugees into the coast of Israel?
The English.
The poem (Kipling's "The Beginnings") was calling for the English to hate the evil Saxons (of Saxony), reflecting the author's own mood after the Germans killed his own son in France and murdered civilians in England and elsewhere.

Tarrant lied to you.
Eh I wouldn't trust the Kipling society. They've been trying to "rehabilitate" his image.
I should be clear: The poem is about the English, yes. I just don't think you should trust the society.
Rehabilitate form what?
"anti-Semitism" I think
Either we'll be living in the Restoration golden age or we'll be shitting in the woods again.

If there are any whites in advertisements nowadays they're usually a useless dad or part of the rainbow reich.
There's also a fifth one: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FcYnw8hXwAEOxEX?format=jpg&name=large
The characters in Iwaju look literally like these creepy emoji people.
The Win or Lose ones as well. It's the Grubhub commercial style. 3D CalArts.
Still, this is nowhere diverse enough. I demand that all Disney films are just an infinite loop of a morbidly obese negress twerking on camera. Cinemas need to be patrolled by drones that deliver painful electric shocks to anyone who looks away. The bugpeople want their horrible mass-produced "entertainment", so they should REALLY get it.

Ironically, many shows that actually feature dolls as major characters, such as Coraline, actually have life to them.
So do any of them have good writing behind them or are they all just banking of the Pixar brand and style?
As I'll be honest, kinda went a bit downhill for me when they made Toy Story 4, you had a perfect ending with 3 and you could do shorts easily, why spoil it with another sequel.
because the story was originally about a male character and they had destroy him and replace him with a female one, and they had to add the black-sounding characters being "sassy"
Does the Pixar brand still mean anything? I may not be the best mainstream bellwether, but when I saw The Good Dinosaur I realized that there is no reason to assume that anything Pixar produces in the future will be good.
Looking at the list, their most recent movies of any real quality are Coco (2017) and Toy Story 3 (2010...holy shit 2010?? I'm so old). Onward was okay. Their crap movies outnumber their good ones by this point.
It means another overly sentimental movie with characters that look like they're made out of Play-Doh starring a protagonist who's unsatisfied with his current lot in life, who then inadvertently gets caught up in some wacky adventure that takes him away from home where he learns an important life lesson about the value of friendship and the family he had and took for granted. Or some crap to that effect.
Scouring imdb...
Elemental is a movie, the other three are series. Only Tiana has a credited writer or director (so far, much of the information hasn't been given yet) of any real note, or at least with work outside of Disney shorts.
This is laughable. Everything doesn’t have to have everything
If they do a Pocahontas remake, they'll make John Smith black which will be the only reason why he won't be a villain.
Part of me wants to laugh but I wouldn’t put it past them. I mean there was the idiotic Anne Boyelin show
I'm not even joking, at all. Look:
They can't make a literal white colonizer a good guy in current year. Their own cultivated audience would burn down the Disney parks, literally.
They also can't have a blonde, blue-eyed MAN stealing not only land but even a woman-of-almost-color as a protagonist, even if it's not as bad as 1, but it's add to that and makes it even worse for current year.
They can either make him black (you know there are no other races, uncless it's Mulan where everyone is Asian and there are no black people), or change the story entirely and make it about Kocoum where he kills all the English and wins back his disney princess gf. (Think their live-action remake-reboot-prequel things Maleficent and Cruella, and Kocoum wasn't even that much of a villain to begin with, the real villain was the physically ugly Ratcliffe.)
Either this or that, they just can't do it otherwise.
Dang when you break it down like that you are right
Everything 2D is absolutely "fake 2D" now.
Everyone thinks they can imitate the look of 2D animation by just slapping a cel shade filter over their ugly CG models (and in Japan's case, deliberately sabotaging the frame rate) and calling it a day.
I recently saw a great 2d animation compilation, made me miss old school animation. Sure, stuff wasn't always hyper dynamic but I don't need that always. I prefer backgrounds and actually good looking characters to dynamic movement and same-y looking chracters in everything.
This is the 4th report labeled a violation of Rule 12 over 2D graphics.
Shut up, reporter. That's literally not how anything works. These are opinions I literally could not care any less about.
Land of the Lustrous... Aaaaand... That's it. And that's a show that's watchable ONLY because it's the only show that does 3D-CG-as-2D somewhat decently as a case study, it doesn't really have any other merits.
It CAN be done... But... That anime is years old now, and they've not reached that level of approaching-decent CG animation since, so clearly it is too costly or difficult to do. And they did every cheat in the book: The villains are non-Euclidean, the protagonists are animate stone golems, the scenery has minimal details, they did everything they could cheat at to make it work, and it... approaches decent.
I never thought I'd miss the days of studios using Adobe Flash to make their animations, but I'd give anything to see that being the norm again over this hideous, robotic faux 2d shit we have now. But that would involve paying animators to, you know, animate. And we can't have that.

calart beaner face woke art style + likely a movie about baseball + guarantee is a snooze fest + Tyrone hidden under the letter O
nignogs
flattest deviant art style and quality + likely strong womyn movie for women + guarantee turbo woke mary sue + muh Tiana
I 've never seen before this kind of art + AD says absolutely nothing + maybe fanstastic elements in it + asian chick
nobody of these seems really suitable to make toys to sell based on it, well maybe elementals. but at least they are original IPs.
Yet another twitter link without a Nitter or Archive alternative. Makes you wonder..
Paint drying.
Get excited for product

What's this law?
Oh, like CanCon laws in Canada, which state that every TV production in Canada must have at least one onscreen Canadian.
These laws are the one and ONLY reason why, when Geoff Edwards hosted Chain Reaction when it was taped in Canada for US airing, the announcer appeared onscreen to welcome the contestants. The announcer was Canadian. Edwards wasn't.
Yup, the laws for what is an is not a "Canadian production" are beyond arbitrary.
