Yes?
What kind of kid didn't find a joke that their parents liked and then repeated it over and over again? That's a near universal thing that you just described.
I know this is supposed to be a "how immature, how crazy" insult, but did you genuinely forget all of your childhood? Do you not remember at all being a kid and just quoting things or getting a laugh from one joke, so now that became THE joke you thought was a hard hitter?
Kids LOVE repeating shit that makes them laugh. It's part of what makes babysitting so annoying.
i tell the same joke, just to different people
I cant tell if you're whining about Cinemaphile racism, or whining about all these new Pixar movies being about ugly brown women mugging towards the heavens while being spoonfed shallow validation.
Anons, he was making that comment as a parallel on Disney, and others, making the same movie over and over again expecting people to still care about the message. The sentence further ridicules the point that he reduced it to something a child would do.
Why are we the dumbest board in Cinemaphile? It's quite accomplishment, but not one I am particularly proud of.
>Fox and the Hound
You can be friends despite your differences. >Finding Nemo
You can surpass challenges if you just try and persevere. >Brother Bear
You should respect other creatures.
None of those are about "finding your true self" unless you want to stretch it really fricking thin.

If this were a board to talk about animation, people might talk about the irony of making a movie about a wooden doll in a world where all the dolls are made of plastic, but doing it in 3d instead of in the obvious 2d equivalent of wood in a world of cgi movies. But since nobody cares about animation, let's just talk about how the doll is black while unanimously pretending that there were never black characters before 2016.
Wow, you're so enlightened. Every word you type is so fricking insightful it brings a tear to my eye. I bet you could run a video essay channel with 12,000 WHOLE subscribers. Great job.
>Woah, bro, it would be like...meta because she's 2d and the rest of the world is 3d! It's totally a critique on modern animation!
have a nice day, you creatively bankrupt hack.
Easy there, Bob. We all watched the Chip and Dale movie, we already know you couldn't make a 2d movie to save your lives. No need for excuses, the good thing about direct-to-streaming movies is that you won't have to explain why nobody wanted to watch your movie.
Besides, a movie about living toys is sooo original! It's not like you made exactly the same several times already. 🙂

Now that's a little interesting. Why the frick wouldn't they mention that in the tweet? I guess the question is if the two mediums are going to be utilized equally. It'd be cool if this was a test for a bigger project.
For Laika, it helps that your dad is one of the richest people on the planet.
Aardman is actually struggling because the company that supplied the clay for their animations shut down, and they have to find a new supplier. They couldn't even make the Chicken Run sequel in claymation (at least, not all of it)
As other anons have said, it's not that she's black. It's that it's a never fricking ending gay-ass homosexualy fart-sniffing spiral. I hate to pull out the east vs west card, but nobody complained about baki being 'woke' when they introduced Biscuit Oliva.
Why? Because he's fricking cool. He's an badass strongman. And people like him. In comparison, this is just >le hacking racism so bad :...(
for the 59495945846th time.
It's extremely popular, anon, to a crazy degree. Normal people in the street know and meme about the anime, and it stills has a cult following on top of that.
>let's just talk about how the doll is black
Look at the background characters. They're ALL black. >pretending that there were never black characters before 2016.
You're oversimplifying a specific point people are making. It's the intention behind it, not just them simply being there (which I haven't any issues with, naturally).
You were right. 180 replies in, and like half of those talking about nogs. But honestly speaking, barely anyone wouldn't replied ITT if she looked normal
Why are there so many disingenuous homosexuals that pretend that it’s simply about skin color? Here’s a question how many black characters existed before 2016 that were just black? As in that was the only string to their bow and not seen as either pandering bullshit, racist, or tokenism? How many movies were made specifically for hyper specific issues targeted at a small sector of the population? How many movies were made that constantly preached the same shit over and over while being so tone deaf that the only thing separating them from a fricking minstrel show was the fact that the people behind it weren’t wearing grease paint?
A lot of the products today couldn't have been made in the earlier decades because they'd be deemed too risky or largely unacceptable by the audience, which is why most of the time black characters were just relegated to tokens or side characters in stories that, at best went "racism bad" and "let's not judge others by the color of their skin" instead of issues that would make people more uncomfortable
But here’s the issue, you had black characters that were just that characters without any bullshit and they were considered token of problematic and now you have characters that look like borderline stereotypes but are seen as positive and empowering. And mind you it’s not about whether the stereotype is accurate it’s that the people who like them and say it’s okay will and have thrown a fit over them.
Can confirm. As a black guy from Britain (Origins from Sierra Leone) I never really felt all that bad hanging around white guys (Over here, it's more about class warfare than race) I went to Congo for a business trip a few years back, boy i felt more prejudice in the 4 days i spent there than the entire rest of my life put together. All of them staring at me like i'm walking fricking trash.
America needs to stop this "We are all sons of Africa" bullshit. Africa is as united by their skin colour as Europe is.
It's largely a product of American blacks idealizing Africa because most of them are descended from slaves that had their ties to the continent completely severed and then forgotten. They don't understand how massively fricking varied the continent is and assume it's all just "you are black so we are the same" like it is in America, even though that was just a product of nearly that entire group of people losing their cultural ties. This then causes resentment in Africa itself because they see it as a huge misrepresentation and gross oversimplification of what the continent's like, as well as resentment towards an enormous array of cultures being represented by black American culture specifically. Like a Lulua in the DRC has FRICKALL in common with American culture in any capacity.
>resentment towards an enormous array of cultures being represented by black American culture specifically
Can't fricking blame them, this must be maddening. Everything has to fit into an American context and then they fricking export that shit everywhere.
The weird thing is that this is a fairly recent phenomenon. Like it only really started around the civil rights movement and was mostly pushed by that one insane dude that was constantly saying how blacks invented whites or some shit and that fricking UCLA professor that invented Kwanza.
Lumping whole clades of people together as "white" or "black" or "asian" has been a devastatingly reductive concept. The Irish aren't the same as the Germans, the Tutsi aren't the same as the Bantu, the Japanese are not the same as the Koreans. Lumping us all into 3-4 groups destroys our individual cultural distinctiveness, reducing diversity of culture globally.
"celebrate diversity" should mean ethnostates for minority races, there's no reason the Taiwanese people (and their culture) should be subsumed by China and vanish off the Earth forever.
And now you know that diversity is actually about promoting homogeneity based on a doctrine of universal human rights. People promote diversity precisely because they think that humanity is NOT diverse, and that all differences are skin deep, socially constructed, or otherwise only apparent
Yes, the Taiwanese should be subsumed by China because they are Chinese occupying indigenous Austronesian lands. It's a political difference, not a ethnic one.
Also, bad example since China itself is multiethnic, everyone has seemed to forgotten about Tibet and Xinjiang
So they're butthurt they were sold into slavery. But the blacks in Africa did that to them, and still do it to this day.
So it's just a display of their innate bottom tier IQ how they idolize the people that caused their reasons to be butthurt.
>resentment towards an enormous array of cultures being represented by black American culture specifically
Can't fricking blame them, this must be maddening. Everything has to fit into an American context and then they fricking export that shit everywhere.
Isn't there a similar thing with "All latino countries are just Mexico"?
>Over here, it's more about class warfare than race
We tried to do that over here back in 2012, then the billionaires pushed identity politics hard so that we'd all forget about them in their ivory towers and go out and buy bells to ring whenever we see black people on TV.
>billionaires pushed identity politics hard so that we'd all forget about them in their ivory towers
Careful, last time I mentioned this I was banned for "off topic post." Free speech here is that you're allowed to say you don't like black people, but questioning why all big corporations want everybody to talk only about black people is as much a taboo here as it is in the places you're legally obligated to worship them.
>post doesn't mention race >uses no "woke"buzzwords >just a standard story about a b***h wanting to fit in
so what's the narrative that culturewargays want to push?
we already had a shitty live action pinocchio remake come out, so the whole the whole "pinocchio but black and woke" isn't it
just with the way it's presented, you can already tell it's going to be "symbolic" of racism. Even in this image, you can tell the stop motion character is also conveniently the only dark skinned character, as if the wood vs plastic metaphor wasn't too obvious for you.
Based negresses fighting against the Stacy establishment.
I will NOT be fighting against this film. White women did not give me sex therefore I will not be defending them here.
Sorry, I just won't. I hope this film inspires millions of black women to go out and punch the first blonde girl they see in the back of the head.
and with a premise that is pointless and tired. >Oh no she is black and can't fit in at school because everyone looks different from her
After years of being shoveled that racial integration would stop this kind of shit. This is like complaining about going onto the back of the bus in the 90s where there is no jim crow laws.
I just looked at the wiki page for the series of shorts this is a part of and 9/11 of them have one-word titles
Also, one of them is called Kitbull, is about a kitten that makes friends with a pit bull, and was directed and produced by two women because of course lol
>I just looked at the wiki page for the series of shorts this is a part of and 9/11 of them have one-word titles
>An earnest ball of yarn named Purl gets a job at a fast-paced, high energy, male-centric start-up. Things start to unravel as she tries to fit in with this close-knit group. Purl must ask herself how far is she willing to go to get the acceptance she yearns for and in the end is it worth it?
I've watched this one with a lot of people just to see their reactions and they always roll their eyes and think it's moronic, men and women alike. If anything, the women were MORE critical of it lol
>tries to watch short >half a minute in >B.R.O. Captial
God damn it, I can’t take this pandering and division any longer. I just want Disney to disappear off the map. THEY’RE ALL WHITE MEN, when was the last fricking time you’ve seen an all white men business group? Even in the 1990’s when they were satirizing this shit. I’m so fricking tired of it all. They steal your jobs and cry you’re excluding them
>speeds through the video >the bros at B.R.O. Capital are just bros >uncomfortable at first, but welcome the yarn balls in the end >it’s more about the pink one trying to be something she’s not
Ok, that’s not as bad as I thought it would be. In fact, it’s based because it makes an argument against transgenderism. But holy hell, how many times do they need to learn these lessons? How many times are they going to fight the same imaginary enemy while displacing actual hard-working bros?

if you look closer, you will notice that in the beginning they were all white, after the yarn successfully infiltrated the racist whites space, they started to let in black people too and fired 2/3rds of the white guys. Because white people are racist, sexist and probably homophobic too, I'm sure there is a rainbow flag hidden somewhere in the end shot

Ego before competency, that’s the mantra of the average Disney writer now
"I feel like I don't belong"
you DON'T you clearly do NOT fit in so go somewhere else
I cannot stand this trope its all activist writers doing it its so fricking boring and shit
How can Pixar make a movie about race-mixing and then turn around and make a movie about colorism and "light-skin privilege." Race-mixing is the reason light-skins have their precious privilege and good hair.
>fire and water
imagine starting with the premise that two individuals are completely incompatible and the entire movie stays racist just from the original assertion
I wonder if we will ever get a story about a character that gets along TOO well with their peers and just wants to be left the frick alone.
Where's my representation disney you lazy fricks!
They're waiting another 10ish years for Robin Williams' wish for his likeness to not be used in any of their content to lapse so they can recreate him with AI tech.
>Story has a "just be yourself moral" >Racism allegory >Character is a black girl to maximize ESG points >Title is a single word
Were they trying to make the most stereotypical modern pixar movie ever?
Let me guess; she's quiet, intelligent, gets bullies by generic stacy, underestimated because she's not like other girls, never gets in trouble, always listens to her parents, the popular guy develops a crush on her and is so much better at plot thing than those meanies in the background. Oh and she's totally gonna change the school and get her own fan club! Same old shit.
Calling it now, all the other dolls are made of porcelain and "fragile" and the big reveal will be that the negress doll is indistructible while the other ones break easily under pressure
>Directed by one "Searit Huluf"
That's a made-up name lol
Also, looking at pictures of her, I wonder if there's some mixed race overcompensating going on here, though apparently there are relatively light-skinned Ethiopians
It's fine for your allegory to be pretty on-the-nose, but when it's so on the nose it's literally just "black person in white city", then it's not really an allegory anymore, is it?
I'm going to say cultural appropriation, Africans never produced dolls with that level of articulation/artisanship. Marionettes and dolls articulated like that were from other cultures.
This isn't new. I don't know where you grew up but light-skinned blacks have always gotten discriminated against by other blacks. There have been studies done on the prevalence of it.
As a latino minority in America black people were also prejudiced against every other foreigner. The white kids would make fun of you the blacks always went to violence. I don't feel any sympathy for them.
wait a minute, I just read a description of this short, part of it was: >a wooden doll who desperately wants to fit in makes an ill-fated wish upon a star, sparking a journey of self-discovery. >ill-fated wish upon a star
that's literally the opposite of what the moral of WISH was
>As we discussed the short, she talked about the importance of bringing her Ethiopian heritage into SELF >Huluf was born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. >Ethiopian heritage
What's the matter anon? Aren't you excited for the scene about (FOOD) and (FAMILY PRESSURES)? Think about all the exciting ways they could explore (FOOD) and (FAMILY PRESSURES) from (COUNTRY OF ETHNICITY). Truly a great representation of (COUNTRY OF ETHNICITY) that won't be warped through the American perspective at all.
Most black people don't know were they came from
Even tho we keep records of slaves ships
Even tho just from asking around and using Google they could get at least a general idea of what part of Africa they are from
Even tho there are at least 4 different kind of black people and you can tell them appart by their facial features the same way you can with Europeans
They don't give enough of a shit to spend an afternoon finding this out but they are supposed to educate you
Black people are smart enough to realize that history is irrelevant, what matters is the narrative you can enforce right now and use to get whatever you want.
Rich studio execs greenlighting these types of movies from unsuspecting and deluded creators thinking their derivative garbage is getting a chance because it's "inclusive" and "representation is necessary"; when all the rich are doing is furthering the divide between superficial features amongst people at the bottom of the barrel so they continue fighting amongst themselves instead of looking at who's controlling them.
Don't blame us in Europe for you people constantly pumping out this "culture of a foreign country but from the american immigrant/second generation immigrant perspective" bullshit.
my theory is that people at the top are scared of being literally eaten alive by the growing minority population, so continue to insist on pumping out these idolatrous stories that put the black MC on a pedestal like Jesus Christ
shame that when people actually try to write a modern animation with a black MC, it's bland and boring because no one seems to know how to write an interesting narrative anymore. or it's ugly af because people don't know how to make appealing cartoon characters. picrel.
To be fair, Wendell & Wild had way more issues beyond the art style like the fact that it's based on an unfinished story.
Wendell & Wyld sucks not just for the ugly main character but the writing. Not only is the story unfinished but it's derivative, too exposition heavy, & pandering.
Minorities aren’t a threat to the power structure, only middle and lower middle class wypipo are because many of them are armed and they are the tax base. It’s more that the ruling class is trying to use minorities as a blunt object to disempower and demoralize the “middle america” type people to stop a white people fascist chimpout
Let me guess, you're going to say some place like Alabama or Georgia while forgetting the large black population there because your racist ass thinks they all live in NY instead
>my theory is that people at the top are scared of being literally eaten alive by the growing minority population
Then why the frick are they pandering to Black folk instead of spicks!?
Blacks are 13% of the population DESPITE... while hispanics are around 60% by now.
At what point does this turn into the girl being just a bumpy mass with a hole for breeding and a joke for shitting and two massive tumors?
Because I'm getting dangerously close to getting off to it and it scares me
I just noticed that the plastic dolls are light skin black people while the wooden doll is dark skinned and is wearing a dress with traditionally African markings. The true controversy will be African-American versus African immigrants.
When you were a kid, did you ever keep telling the same joke over and over again expecting to get the same reaction every time?
Yes?

No, it’s the inverse. She starts out “good” until she decides that what she is and what she wants is more important

If this were a board to talk about animation, people might talk about the irony of making a movie about a wooden doll in a world where all the dolls are made of plastic, but doing it in 3d instead of in the obvious 2d equivalent of wood in a world of cgi movies.

I dunno, I think the 3d version's doing some pretty good work making the wooden doll look different from the plastic ones through the use of texture.
The proper way to do this sort would be in stop motion. But it seems that only Aardman and Laika have the balls to do that anymore.
This IS stop-motion animation.
>Stop motion & CGI hybrid
Now that's a little interesting. Why the frick wouldn't they mention that in the tweet? I guess the question is if the two mediums are going to be utilized equally. It'd be cool if this was a test for a bigger project.

Judging by how Cinemaphile discusses animation, yes, it is.

I can't think of any characters who aren't some variety of pandering. That's just what sells, the genie can't go back in the bottle.
Many, anon. If not freaking 99%. You should've made your point using 2010 rather than 2016.
the short's conciet only works because 3d animation shows off the texture of the doll
>racism is ok when it's dark black people talking about how much they hate lightskins

Don't forget that Pixar already made a movie about a nignog called SOUL henceforth implying that crackers have no soul. Why is this allowed???
Soul was about a man who played soul music.
You’re moronic
Here you go.
Add a forth one, where three of them are Asian, three are white, and then the two black ones, and have it say "The creator is racist against blacks."
Media today lacks subtlety.
Too much agenda pushing as well.
Based negresses fighting against the Stacy establishment.
I will NOT be fighting against this film. White women did not give me sex therefore I will not be defending them here.
Sorry, I just won't. I hope this film inspires millions of black women to go out and punch the first blonde girl they see in the back of the head.
Why is everything still ugly Black folks? Have we not gotten over that hump yet?
Hump? More like a wall, because you might as well be talking to one when you're talking to a lefty troon.
>journey of self-discovery
Sick of this navel-gazing narcissist bullshit, the average person needs far less, not more.
I wish Black folk would just get over themselves. Black folk in Hollywood even moreso.
I just assume it's meant to black girls or something.
I'd certainly not watch it.
and with a premise that is pointless and tired.
>Oh no she is black and can't fit in at school because everyone looks different from her
After years of being shoveled that racial integration would stop this kind of shit. This is like complaining about going onto the back of the bus in the 90s where there is no jim crow laws.
The one word title thing is starting to feel extremely pretentious.
I just looked at the wiki page for the series of shorts this is a part of and 9/11 of them have one-word titles
Also, one of them is called Kitbull, is about a kitten that makes friends with a pit bull, and was directed and produced by two women because of course lol
I hope those two women own a pitbull too.
>9/11
Lol
>I just looked at the wiki page for the series of shorts this is a part of and 9/11 of them have one-word titles
>An earnest ball of yarn named Purl gets a job at a fast-paced, high energy, male-centric start-up. Things start to unravel as she tries to fit in with this close-knit group. Purl must ask herself how far is she willing to go to get the acceptance she yearns for and in the end is it worth it?
This looks like one of those fake AI Pixar posters.
still waiting for 'Caust
I kinda want to see this just for the obvious cope of some art school graduate failing at babby's first office job.
I've watched this one with a lot of people just to see their reactions and they always roll their eyes and think it's moronic, men and women alike. If anything, the women were MORE critical of it lol
I feel like they only made this short just to make this description full of puns
Oh, and to shit on men and go full on feminazi
what the frick
how do you frick up a cute, female ball of yarn character so bad
she gets fricked by all the men, right?
Yep
>tries to watch short
>half a minute in
>B.R.O. Captial
God damn it, I can’t take this pandering and division any longer. I just want Disney to disappear off the map. THEY’RE ALL WHITE MEN, when was the last fricking time you’ve seen an all white men business group? Even in the 1990’s when they were satirizing this shit. I’m so fricking tired of it all. They steal your jobs and cry you’re excluding them
>speeds through the video
>the bros at B.R.O. Capital are just bros
>uncomfortable at first, but welcome the yarn balls in the end
>it’s more about the pink one trying to be something she’s not
Ok, that’s not as bad as I thought it would be. In fact, it’s based because it makes an argument against transgenderism. But holy hell, how many times do they need to learn these lessons? How many times are they going to fight the same imaginary enemy while displacing actual hard-working bros?
if you look closer, you will notice that in the beginning they were all white, after the yarn successfully infiltrated the racist whites space, they started to let in black people too and fired 2/3rds of the white guys. Because white people are racist, sexist and probably homophobic too, I'm sure there is a rainbow flag hidden somewhere in the end shot
Ego before competency, that’s the mantra of the average Disney writer now
>All these projects about self centered notions about being inferior and that being societies fault.
>Never about showing oneself to be able in their own right
Should of kept her faceless or just add some blush stickers.
i remember that one, it was terrible.
>male centric
Disney/Pixar is going to burn, is it not?
"I feel like I don't belong"
you DON'T you clearly do NOT fit in so go somewhere else
I cannot stand this trope its all activist writers doing it its so fricking boring and shit
How can Pixar make a movie about race-mixing and then turn around and make a movie about colorism and "light-skin privilege." Race-mixing is the reason light-skins have their precious privilege and good hair.
>fire and water
imagine starting with the premise that two individuals are completely incompatible and the entire movie stays racist just from the original assertion
American movies were beyond parody 5 years ago, I don't even know what to call this.
I wonder if we will ever get a story about a character that gets along TOO well with their peers and just wants to be left the frick alone.
Where's my representation disney you lazy fricks!
I wager Disney would make more money from another Aladdin or Cinderella sequel.
They're waiting another 10ish years for Robin Williams' wish for his likeness to not be used in any of their content to lapse so they can recreate him with AI tech.
>Story has a "just be yourself moral"
>Racism allegory
>Character is a black girl to maximize ESG points
>Title is a single word
Were they trying to make the most stereotypical modern pixar movie ever?
the power of AI movie plot prompting homosexual
Let me guess; she's quiet, intelligent, gets bullies by generic stacy, underestimated because she's not like other girls, never gets in trouble, always listens to her parents, the popular guy develops a crush on her and is so much better at plot thing than those meanies in the background. Oh and she's totally gonna change the school and get her own fan club! Same old shit.
Animators fear putting an accurate to reality loud mouth hoodrat Shaneiqua in the MC role, otherwise the audience would 100% support the antagonists
I feel like, with Wish, we’re already at that point with audiences.
Looks like an AI generated Pixar poster.
Calling it now, all the other dolls are made of porcelain and "fragile" and the big reveal will be that the negress doll is indistructible while the other ones break easily under pressure
Until they go to the incinerator.
Well it’s a good thing they only light it on Tuesdays
>checks the calendar
Oh shit…
Well, there's always a chance they decided not to light it today.
At any rate, when’s this turd releasing?
Imagine Tom and Jerry shenanigans with this version of Wonka
>Directed by one "Searit Huluf"
That's a made-up name lol
Also, looking at pictures of her, I wonder if there's some mixed race overcompensating going on here, though apparently there are relatively light-skinned Ethiopians
It's fine for your allegory to be pretty on-the-nose, but when it's so on the nose it's literally just "black person in white city", then it's not really an allegory anymore, is it?
I'm going to say cultural appropriation, Africans never produced dolls with that level of articulation/artisanship. Marionettes and dolls articulated like that were from other cultures.
I see the whole "Asians are honorary white people" thing by Black Americans is still going strong.
>the ugly black fat doll works hard and in the end becomes as good as the thin white dolls
didn't they shit on red shoes for this same reason?
Not a single one of those thin dolls are white, anon. They're lightskinned blacks. Look at their hair.
anon, there's only two colors of skin, white or black, if you are not white then you are black and if you are not black then you are white.
No no, he's right those are light skinned blacks. HAHAHA it's a movie about a Dark Black trying to fit in with her lighter people. Also, you're dumb.
lefty's hate asian people
This short looks too generic and "kid-friendly" to be schizoing this hard about.
Ok race stuff aside why does it look so ugly and cheap like something out of the early 2000s
Subtle.
You have to consider the audience they’re after. If anything, it might be too subtle for them
>All the wpppp look the same
>Only the black doll has any depth
So now they are making light skinned black people into villains really? Frick off.
This isn't new. I don't know where you grew up but light-skinned blacks have always gotten discriminated against by other blacks. There have been studies done on the prevalence of it.
As a latino minority in America black people were also prejudiced against every other foreigner. The white kids would make fun of you the blacks always went to violence. I don't feel any sympathy for them.
I didn't realize they were all black.
wait a minute, I just read a description of this short, part of it was:
>a wooden doll who desperately wants to fit in makes an ill-fated wish upon a star, sparking a journey of self-discovery.
>ill-fated wish upon a star
that's literally the opposite of what the moral of WISH was
What was the moral of Wish?
Don't hire affirmative action Black folk or they will destroy your compan- I mean kingdom.
no, the moral of wish was "if you are a woman and there's a man with more power than you then you should destroy him"
Ok incel
well, that was Amaya's moral
Asha's moral was "destroy your actually utopian society because you're a selfish b***h in league with an eldritch being"
So they ripped off Genesis.
well, it's essentially a "(wo)man vs God" sort of story, so you're not outright incorrect
>As we discussed the short, she talked about the importance of bringing her Ethiopian heritage into SELF
>Huluf was born and raised in Los Angeles, CA.
>Ethiopian heritage
>Self-insert movie about self-discovery focusing on ethnic heritage from a second generation American citizen
STOP
STOP
STOP IT
STOP DOING THIS
It's like the quirky indie RPG about depression of western animation
What's the matter anon? Aren't you excited for the scene about (FOOD) and (FAMILY PRESSURES)? Think about all the exciting ways they could explore (FOOD) and (FAMILY PRESSURES) from (COUNTRY OF ETHNICITY). Truly a great representation of (COUNTRY OF ETHNICITY) that won't be warped through the American perspective at all.
Better than another movie about a fricking cracker
At least it isn’t the usual “I’m representing my unrepresented community in Los Angeles”
Most black people don't know were they came from
Even tho we keep records of slaves ships
Even tho just from asking around and using Google they could get at least a general idea of what part of Africa they are from
Even tho there are at least 4 different kind of black people and you can tell them appart by their facial features the same way you can with Europeans
They don't give enough of a shit to spend an afternoon finding this out but they are supposed to educate you
Black people are smart enough to realize that history is irrelevant, what matters is the narrative you can enforce right now and use to get whatever you want.
>Smart enough to be full of shit
>Not smart enough to get out of the ghetto
>Another Disney One-Word-Title film.
I'll pass.
I'm a mutt from the Ivory Coast, Britain, and Sweden
>ethiopian heritage
So is she going to talk about being a descended from Solomon and how much she hates Italians?
>yet another pointless garbage film with no other purpose than to cause drama
don't these usually bomb?
Hey, I've seen this one! It's a classic!
That’s more a book about how God wants to spend time with all his children than what Disney’s been doing
So now it’s bad to be a light skinned black person?
I bet she wish that she was made from lighter wood
Subtlety of a trainwreck
what is it with burgers and their fascination with black people?
Rich studio execs greenlighting these types of movies from unsuspecting and deluded creators thinking their derivative garbage is getting a chance because it's "inclusive" and "representation is necessary"; when all the rich are doing is furthering the divide between superficial features amongst people at the bottom of the barrel so they continue fighting amongst themselves instead of looking at who's controlling them.
surely that trick can't work forever?
Well you see, American culture is centered around...
>Its another /misc/shitters think California and the European WEF propaganda arm is all of America thread
Don't blame us in Europe for you people constantly pumping out this "culture of a foreign country but from the american immigrant/second generation immigrant perspective" bullshit.
my theory is that people at the top are scared of being literally eaten alive by the growing minority population, so continue to insist on pumping out these idolatrous stories that put the black MC on a pedestal like Jesus Christ
shame that when people actually try to write a modern animation with a black MC, it's bland and boring because no one seems to know how to write an interesting narrative anymore. or it's ugly af because people don't know how to make appealing cartoon characters. picrel.
To be fair, Wendell & Wild had way more issues beyond the art style like the fact that it's based on an unfinished story.
yeah, totally agree.
Wendell & Wyld sucks not just for the ugly main character but the writing. Not only is the story unfinished but it's derivative, too exposition heavy, & pandering.
Minorities aren’t a threat to the power structure, only middle and lower middle class wypipo are because many of them are armed and they are the tax base. It’s more that the ruling class is trying to use minorities as a blunt object to disempower and demoralize the “middle america” type people to stop a white people fascist chimpout
>minorites aren't armed
homie what?
You think redneck America has most of the wealth? Lmao
They cost more in welfare than they contribute.
>source needed
Let me guess, you're going to say some place like Alabama or Georgia while forgetting the large black population there because your racist ass thinks they all live in NY instead
How are minorities disempowering middle America when middle America is doing things against themselves?
>my theory is that people at the top are scared of being literally eaten alive by the growing minority population
Then why the frick are they pandering to Black folk instead of spicks!?
Blacks are 13% of the population DESPITE... while hispanics are around 60% by now.
What’s with the frogs and bongs obsession with arabs?
Wood
At what point does this turn into the girl being just a bumpy mass with a hole for breeding and a joke for shitting and two massive tumors?
Because I'm getting dangerously close to getting off to it and it scares me
When no arms, legs and face.
morning wood
Twist: all the white dolls were made by a toymaker named Yakub.
Just lose weight you fat Black person. Its not that hard.
>wooden doll stop-motion & intentional crappy CGI hybrid
it's bretty interesting 2bh. i bet they took inspiration from Anomalisa.
This looks 30 years old.
30+ is the new 18
why even make her a doll at this point? it's very clearly about racism so just make her a regular human, it's not like anything would change
I thought this was a movie initially, but it's just a short film, not surprising it's moronic.
>Race relations shit
I think I'll skip this one. Give me a movie with a different, more interesting story.
Are they all made of wood? The ones j. The purple leotards look Hispanic
Yea those are clearly Asians in the background
OOOOOOhhhh I get it. She's a puppet because she's used by those in control, for their nefarious ends.
NNNOOO STRAIGHT WHITE MEN ARE OPPRESSED NNNOOO
How do I find a black bawd who looks like that
So when does race bait twitter threads become a bannable offense?
I just noticed that the plastic dolls are light skin black people while the wooden doll is dark skinned and is wearing a dress with traditionally African markings. The true controversy will be African-American versus African immigrants.
>dude what if literaly me but.. like just literaly me
What the frick is going on at pixar?
