Tiny Review: Transformers One 2024. MUST WATCH for Transformers fans.

I love how Optimus lowers his bulking self to level with the miners.

I like how D-15 changed from the voice to reason and restraint to I-know-better Megatron

I appreciate the class divide allegory as well. Elita literally described how leveraged buyouts work: “Sentinel bought himself power. Then put us to work paying off his debt.”

And the Peele and Key reference... A-A-Tron 😂

Great characters. Great pacing. Great transformations. Great writing. MUST WATCH for Transformers fans.

Transformers One is a 2024 American animated science fiction action film based on Hasbro's Transformers toy line. It was directed by Josh Cooley from a screenplay by Eric Pearson and the writing duo of Andrew Barrer and Gabriel Ferrari, based on a story by Barrer and Ferrari. The ensemble voice cast includes Chris Hemsworth, Brian Tyree Henry, Scarlett Johansson, Keegan-Michael Key, Steve Buscemi, Laurence Fishburne, and Jon Hamm.

Wrong #583

So, apparently the snacks were for a Black Butler watch party, which Angra has decided to throw for some reason

He’s not even watching the show, I don’t know what the point was

I think Henry knows how to gut and skin various animals (including rabbits) and he took Bill hunting with him once or twice and he probably had some thoughts watching him do that I feel.

One of the funniest thing the Spy x Family anime did was at the end of episode 9 while showing the next episode preview it had this clip for episode 10

Making you think it'll be of Yor, because well, who else would they show showering? The preview did show her in gym clothes exercising so it makes sense right?

And then you get to the next episode and you see it's actually him

Anyway hilarious fan service baiting if I've ever seen it

[phantomram-b00]

I know I’ve been on a good omens brainrot. But I want to stop and talking about something, some movie as it been exactly this day (edit: yesterday, I meant to post this yesterday but it got hectic and I couldn’t finished until 12. So my bad, I tried. That and the wifi is shit, so forgive me) (at least released on Netflix). But it just not some movie, you might know it, you might not that’s okay because I would like to talk about…..*drum rolls*

Now for those who don’t know and without spoiling too much as I recommend this movie, it follows Kat Elliot a black teenage girl who’ve gone through a traumatic event of her parent’s death and have two demons, Wendell and Wild, who have their own agenda of opening a theme park for the souls. Can’t stress this enough that this movie is worth the watch. Please go watch before going to see this post as I will be discussing the movie, spoiler warning ahead 🤭 unless if you wanna get spoil then, that’s on you, who am I to tell you what to do am I right? With that being said let get into this

(Disclaimer: Now, I am planning a drawing for it so stay tone for that. But I couldn’t finish in time due to being on vacation but it will be done! ^v^ now onto the post.)

Honestly, this is my second stop motion picture movie since coraline, who funfact Henry Selick directed. He also directed Wendell and Wild and was produced by Jordan Peele who also stars as Wild himself with his friend Keegan-Michael Key who plays Wendell; honestly to see these two play the demon bring be back to Key and Peele show they did, always happy to see them together and be chaotic duos. But I do wanna give honor to Jordan Peele as imo, his movies have been phenomenal between Get out, Nope, Us, and now Wendell and Wild (granted produced but he did have control), I can’t wait to see what else he got in plan. I think what make me appreciate his directing/producing is how he can say and I quote in this news article,

“I feel fortunate to be in this position where I can say to Universal, ‘I want to make a 20$ million horror movie with a black family’ and they say yes” - Jordan Peele (2019)

And frankly, I’m happy representation is happening, (I’m not black, I’m only Puerto Rican, but to have poc representation make me happy! but also that, imma say this, representation do matter. You (and I’m talking to the non-poc/white) might not think it not a big deal, but trust me, it is matter and it is important. And it should. And I’m happy Jordan Peele for example here is able to diverse the cast, and like he said, “not that I don’t like white dudes but I’ve seen that movie.” I’ll dive deep soon so remember this.) and I hope they keep going with representation.

Henry Selick, he’s responsible for Coraline, Nightmare before Christmas and more! And to see another Henry Selick movie, I had a feeling with a help of Jordan Peele that I was going to love it. And I did! I’m excited to see whatever he come up with next, though if it another stop motion, which I love stop motion animation as much as a next person, however, do you know how long these shit takes? Like I gotta give them prop for the dedication! But I don’t know how you get patience for stop motion- but back to Henry, he responsible for my love for Coraline and nightmare before Christmas, and I gotta give him and Jordan Peele props and credit, and also to thank them for making this movie!

Now the casting, honestly the casting imo was fantastic, Lyric Ross was excellent as Kat Elliot, both when Kat is a no nonsense headstrong character to when she is actively grieving of the death of her parents as she grows from her trauma. Very much Phenomenal work and her chemistry with Wendell and Wild is what make it much cool as well as her chemistry with Raul (Sam Zelaya), Siobhan (Tamara Smart) and even Sister Helley (Angels Bassett herself!). I feel the casting was phenomenal and was well-casted I don’t think I had a moment where I think “oh this person could’ve been better” or “wow they bad”, nope I don’t think I have a complaint. Oh and Father level bests (James Hong) was just the right amount of a comedic antagonist next to Siobhan’s parent, his delivery was comedic and also a right amount of asshole. They all ate, and it was worth it for the cast!

The story! While I do think the pacing could’ve been better to flow better and also other qualms, but I won’t say that what toke me away, as I really like the story, I like how while yes the title and that it is about two demons, but I do like how we get to see Kat’s story and how she grows. As Jordan Peele mentions in again this article, the demon represent her personal demons with both her guilt and anger, and how she can overcome and wear your fears in a sense as well as dealing with her being a hell maiden. This was done well, and I like how it was done, sure was it a messy landing but it landed and it did well. Learning to overcome your demons is a challenge, hell I’m still trying to overcome them as I go and I’m twenty one, but as Kat shown, we can overcome our demons, and learn to carry on. And now as we saw at the end, she while she still grieve her parents, she learns that she not or never will be alone as she now surrounded by people who care and who won’t hurt her like the people in her past. Even accepting her two person demons, and being a hell maiden (which I will say, I think the demons can also represent how you handle them, like helley bottling up her demon can be a commentary on bottling up your problems rather than facing them. And seeing the amount that was there she had the bottle it up alot, which I can relate and I feel it was done well as well.) if they ever do a sequel, I would be here for it, i doubt their might because 1) stop motion takes such a long time. 2) the advertisement for this movie was done dirty. But if they did, I will be here for it and can’t wait to see what they do.

And finally the representation, honestly the presentation and the diversity of this movie was amazing. My eyes widen seeing just how diverse it, something I wish I had growing up as stated by Peele, I’ve already seen movies where predominantly of the cast was white, and (and this isn’t me saying “I hate white people” let me put this out there) I’m tired of seeing an all or almost all white or cast, I think it been done so many time and also it feel tiring and disheartening not to be represented in a way or even if there was it done stereotypical. So seeing representation was wonderful between black/Asian/Latine/Latinx/indigenous representation to there being Trans and disability representation. I hope more representation keep happening and there is, very much so! And as I said and I will say again, representation matters! And this movie’s rep was done very well! Im sure I’m missing some (forgive me it been a while and I don’t have access to Netflix as of now. Please forgive me, if I miss any please let me know!)

Before I close this blog, I gotta say, the advertisement for this movie was done very dirty! Like i don’t know what it is, but I felt we hardly saw any promotional work for this movie, it the same thing that happen with Disney’s Strange world. If there was, I probably missed a lot because I felt there wasn’t much ads for this movie, and because of it, I felt it didn’t get the recognition it deserved. So if you made it this far whether you seen this movie or you haven’t to please go watch Wendell and Wild, I promise you will have a good time and a wonderful experience watching this movie. I can’t wait to show the drawing. And I just needed to talk about this, as it one of my favorite stop motion films, I can’t wait to see where Wendell and wild go, and hope we get more of it. Even if we do get a sequel, I hope we see more of hell maidens and of Kat’s journey with her demons and her friends. hope you enjoyed. Phantom. Out.

Exploring The Depths Of James And The Giant Peach (1996)

James and the Giant Peach, directed by Henry Selick and produced by Tim Burton, is a visually stunning adaptation of Roald Dahl's beloved children's book. Released in 1996, this film combines live-action and stop-motion animation to create a whimsical yet profound narrative that resonates with audiences of all ages.

The Journey Of Self-Discovery

At its core, James and the Giant Peach is a tale of self-discovery and resilience. The protagonist, James, is a young boy who loses his parents in a tragic accident and is forced to live with his cruel aunts, Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker. The film's opening scenes, with their pastel, soft-focus live-action sequences, set the stage for James's bleak existence. However, the discovery of the enchanted peach and the subsequent journey it takes him on symbolize his escape from oppression and his quest for identity and belonging.

The Magic Of Animation

The transition from live-action to stop-motion animation is a pivotal moment in the film. As James bites into the giant peach, the world around him transforms into a vibrant, animated landscape inhabited by anthropomorphic insects. This shift not only highlights the film's technical brilliance but also serves as a metaphor for James's transition from a life of hardship to one of adventure and wonder. The use of stop-motion animation, a technique perfected by Selick and Burton in their previous collaboration, The Nightmare Before Christmas, adds a layer of charm and nostalgia to the film.

Themes Of Friendship And Courage

Throughout his journey, James forms deep bonds with the insect inhabitants of the peach, including a centipede, a ladybug, a spider, a grasshopper, a glowworm, and an earthworm. These characters, each with their unique personalities and quirks, represent the diverse relationships we form in our own lives. The film emphasizes the importance of friendship, teamwork, and courage in overcoming obstacles. The camaraderie between James and his newfound friends is heartwarming and serves as a reminder that we are never truly alone, even in the face of adversity.

A Commentary On Childhood And Imagination

James and the Giant Peach also delves into the themes of childhood and imagination. James's ability to dream and create, even in the direst of circumstances, is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. His imaginative drawings and the magical journey they inspire underscore the power of creativity in shaping our reality. The film encourages viewers to embrace their inner child and to find magic in the mundane.

Conclusion

James and the Giant Peach is more than just a children's movie; it is a thought-provoking exploration of loss, resilience, friendship, and the boundless power of imagination. Its blend of live-action and stop-motion animation, coupled with its rich narrative and memorable characters, makes it a timeless classic that continues to captivate audiences. Whether you are revisiting the film or experiencing it for the first time, James and the Giant Peach offers a poignant reminder of the magic that lies within us all.
