Wolfwalkers is 2020’s greatest animated film so far

The trailer for that animated film left me distinctly underwhelmed.
I've met a lot of wonderful people in the animation business down through the years for which I'm grateful but @mexopolis is not one of them and I hope that will change someday.

Posting something a bit unusual. Please go with me on this.
Over a year ago, SEGA published a Sonic Xmas special. It was animated by a small group of artists. During a stream, they had the director & the compositor on for behind the scenes process. What is a compositor? Well it goes into that showing how animation gets great effects with thumbnails, boards, etc. It's a great look at how animation can be done, even w/ a small team. If you want, you can advance to 10:56.

It’s about The Problem of Low Wages in the Anime Industry.
I wish I could translate it, but it hard to explain.🙈
If you are interested in this article, might be able to read with Google Translate ......🙈
I mostly agree with Bob Lefsetz on the new Oscar rules. Vast swathes of the population didn't care before, and they aren't going to to care after either.

Not sure why Charles Soloman is reviewing #Inuyasha now, but he does have nice things to say about it.

Not long ago, I enjoyed Annecy Festival online. I loved TV problems competitions so much!
In Japan, many people can’t enjoy NOT ANIME style animation works.
because of that, the animation industry is dying.
I have concerned about that.
Also, Some people say too, like Sunao Katabuchi(In This Corner of the World).
I don't know about other countries, but many Japanese people call NOT ANIME style animation ”アートアニメ”(Artistic anime).
It seems odd I think :(
