#man wall-e's a weird film. yeah i love the first third of the film but they lost me as soon as they got into the space station

[clownkiwi]

OH WAIT i just realized the original plan they had for the last 2/3rds of the film wouldve been. a lil bit more ableist, because the aliens in the original films treatment were just revealed to be what humans would turn out into years later (green, see-through gel blobs)

Thomas x fem!Reader Maze Runner (2009 novel - James Dashner, 2014 film - Wes Ball)

Word count: 1944 (whoo!)

Summary: you’re used to the boys who come up in the box being a little weird at first, but something about this one is oddly... familiar. And he feels it too. 

Content: canon-typical amnesia, light angst, Thomas just being Thomas, teenaged-romance-typical cringiness, you get the gist. 

Notes: starts in Thomas’s POV (but alternates between his and yours cause I love a good dual perspective) so obviously it’s a little weird since he initially doesn’t know you, so I didn’t wanna jump straight into the “you” etc. It’s in third person for this reason (”she” “her” etc), although everything from the second paragraph onwards is second person as per usual. You gotta just ignore that bit and take it as necessary backing for the main thing cause I wasn’t 100% sure on how to do it, but this made sense in my head. 

I just got my wisdom teeth out so I’m stuck in a hospital with not all too much to do just eating custard, soup and jelly. My friend did come and visit me so that was pretty great, but multiplayer minecraft isn’t working :( Also why are all nurses ever so freaking pretty I genuinely don’t understand. Is being pretty something that happens to you at nurse school? Do they only allow pretty people into nurse school? It’s a mystery, truly. Either way, this, reading the book my friend brought me and annotating my English book are pretty much all I have to do other than watching stuff so yeah... 

Unrelated, but I love a good sweaty confused sad angry lost annoyed little man and he does it so well

The boy looked up, shielding his eyes from the light to see a girl crouched at the top of the box, smiling down at him. There was something about her, he thought, that seemed to compel him to keep looking at her slightly messy (y/h/c) hair, her bright (y/e/c) eyes that seem to be sharing some kind of joke with him. 

You reached a hand down, and he got up off the floor, taking it. Your skin was warm and you had a strong grip. You helped him out of the box, smiling at his no doubt stunned expression as he looked around, taking in the massive stone walls and what appeared to be a farm tended by about 20 – no, more – people who couldn’t have been much older than he was. And somehow, amid all the strangeness, your hand in his was familiar.

“Hello, Greenie,” you said – damn, you even had a nice voice, the kind that made him believe that everything was ok. “I’m (Y/N).”

“I’m…” the boy trailed off. He didn’t know what his name was. How could that be? Surely he had a name. But as he racked his brains, the only thing that came to him was that you were called (Y/N), and that everything was going to be fine as long as you were beside him. “What is this place?”

“This is the Glade.” You gestured around, encompassing the whole farm in a sweep of your arm. “And don’t worry about your name, it’ll come back later. It’s the one thing they let you keep.”

“They?” Everything was getting weirder by the second. 

“I’ll explain later. First, let me show you around.”

~

The Greenie asked a lot of questions. Like, a lot. It was odd, you felt like you knew him, like you’d seen him before, and you kept almost grabbing his hand. You did your best to answer his questions, but eventually you stopped. To tell the truth, as bad as it sounded even to you, you couldn’t really be bothered anymore. He’d find his feet before too long. 

“Greenie,” you said, turning to him, “I’m gonna need you to just be patient. You’ll pick it all up eventually, but enough questions, ok?”

“Yeah,” he answered ruefully, “ok.”

He was cute, you supposed, with dark brown hair cut short, a muscular build, and bright green eyes. Nice face, if only he’d stop looking so confused all the time. You couldn’t blame him, not really. A little wrinkle appeared between his eyebrows every time he frowned, and you caught yourself almost reaching up and smoothing it away several times. You realised you were staring at him and looked away quickly, continuing the tour.

 You had a bonfire that night, as was tradition every month when a new Greenie arrived. You sat back, watching as he challenged Gally to a fight (bad idea) which you somehow found endearing and normal, like that was the way it should be. Maybe he just had the kind of vibe of someone who wouldn’t back down, people who were upstarts tended to have a certain look about them. At least, that was what you told yourself as he froze, stood still for a moment then shouted,

“Thomas! I remember my name, I’m Thomas!”

After that, everyone patted him on the back, his disagreement with Gally completely forgotten.

“So, Thomas,” you said as you approached, looking up at him, “what do you think?”

“I don’t know,” he frowned, that little wrinkle showing itself once more. You took his hand, leading him to where you usually sat with Newt, away from all the clamour. You both found that while the vigour and headiness of being around the others could be fun, it was also tiring at times. 

“Thomas, huh?” Newt said, offering him a jar of Gally’s god-awful moonshine.

Thomas took a mouthful, but spat it out pretty fast. “What is that stuff?” he asked, revolted.

“No idea,” Newt answered, taking the jar back.

“You know,” you decided, slinging an arm across Thomas’s shoulders, “I like you Greenie.”

~

 “(Y/N)!” Thomas ran up to you, his face sweaty.

“What’s up, Greenie?” You straightened, leaning on your shovel. It had been a week since Thomas’ arrival, and he was settling in pretty well apart from the odd disagreement and his unfortunate condition of too much curiosity. You hadn’t seen him around too much, your work as a gardener and his constant stream of odd jobs and trials of the different occupations had seen to that, but you’d found that you had an easy rapport with him on the day that he’d been beside you tending to the vegetable patch and when you were eating (he’d sat with you most for most meals after that first night, which you weren’t too fussed about. Besides, he brought Chuck with him and the little kid was always fun to be around). Even if he could be a little annoying with all his questions and occasionally slipped into a morose bout of heavy brooding (“I’m not brooding,” he’d protested when you’d poked him and told him to stop it, “I’m just… thinking.”), you liked the comfortable back and forth between you, and being around him felt… right. 

Now, he looked near frantic as he stood panting before you, his eyes wild. “I remembered something. From before the Maze.”

“What?” Your mind spun. That never happened, ever. Maybe it was a dream and he’d gotten confused, maybe he’d hit his head. Still, you could indulge him. “What did you remember?”

Thomas glanced around, then jerked his head towards the Deadheads. Against your better judgement, you followed him into the fringes of the trees.

~

The memories swirled around Thomas’s head, disjointed and confused, but still memories. He remembered you, how you’d been with him before the Maze, how close you were. A flash of white hallway, disabled security cameras and sneaking into each other’s rooms at night. He remembered your lips on his, the way your body felt under his hands.

He reached the edge of the Deadheads, and you stopped, resting your weight on one leg and placing a hand on your hip. “Alright Greenie,” you said – Thomas wished you’d use his name, “what did you remember?”

“I remembered us, you and me, before we came here,” he said quietly, not quite sure how to tell you what he knew. Would you think he was crazy, delusional? That he was just a stupid boy with a crush – because yeah, he liked you, definitely did – on the only girl he’d seen in… He supposed he’d known girls before whatever strange memory block that started at waking up in the elevator – Box, as you’d called it. That was another strange thing about this place, he thought, you were the only girl, and nobody apparently knew why. Either way, he didn’t want you to think he was silly or mad. 

He forged on. “I felt like I knew you even before you told me your name, when I woke up.”

You frowned, chewing the inside of your cheek. You really were adorable when you were thinking. “What about us, what did you remember about me and you, Thomas?”

He took a deep breath, looking around again. “I just remember sneaking through hallways with you, and…”

“And what? Just spit it out already!” You were getting impatient.

“Ok, this is going to sound super weird,” he looked around again and you crossed your arms. “We were…” He stopped. He couldn’t say it, he couldn’t face the raised eyebrow as you tried to hide your look of incredulity and then pity that would inevitably flash across your face. 

“Are you going to share this wonderful pearl of wisdom with me or not?” The sarcasm in your voice jolted him back to another time, hiding outside in the cold, you sitting on his lap, his jumper wrapped around you both. You were saying something about the weather. “Thomas?” you asked, a hint of concern in your voice.

“(Y/N),” he said, placing a hand on your shoulder, “before the Maze, you and I were together.”

“Together?” you asked, “Like, you knew me?” 

He thought he caught a faint flash of apprehension, hope, even, dart across your face. “Yeah, I remember you, we used to sneak into each other’s rooms and outside, and you’d hack the security system, so we wouldn’t get caught.” He smiled at the memory.

“Thomas what…?” A crease appeared between your brows, and you were tilting your head to the side slightly. “What do you mean? How do you know?” Your frown deepened, even more unsure as you gestured to the space between you and him. “Were we… a couple?” 

Thomas released a breath, secretly relieved you’d been the one to say it. “Yeah, yeah we were. (Y/N), trust me, I remember, and I know these are memories.” On an impulse, he took your hand, holding it tightly. “I feel like I know you, and everything about you is familiar. Sometimes when you do or say something, I get a flashback…”

“What do you mean a flashback? What of?” you interrupted, and he realised he wasn’t really making sense.

Thomas tried to talk slowly. “Like before, when you were being sarcastic, I remembered us, sitting outside at night and it was freezing cold, so you were sitting on my lap and we had this jumper wrapped around us, and I must have said something about it being cold because you were being sarcastic about the weather and…”

“Thomas stop,” you said, and he looked at your beautiful clear eyes, so full of emotion.

“(Y/N),” he almost whispered.

“No,” you said, searching his face, “Thomas, I really like you, I do, and I feel like I’ve known you before as well, but this is crazy!”

“No,” he protested, “this is what I remember!”

“I know,” your eyes were sparkling with unshed tears, “I know it’s what you remember, but how are we supposed to trust that whoever took our memories, and someone definitely took our memories, how do we know that they didn’t plant fake ones?”

“I know what I feel towards you is real, (Y/N), I just know it, right here.” He placed a hand on his solar plexus, still not breaking eye contact.

“I…” You stopped, looking at the ground then back at him. “Ok,” you said, “and if I trust this? If I trust that your memories are real, that we’re not going crazy? Then what?”

“Then…” It was his turn to trail off, raising his hand from your shoulder to your cheek, gently wiping a tear from your face with his thumb. He leaned down slightly, tilting his head to the side. Hesitantly, you stretched up to meet him halfway, your lips brushing his softly. You gave a sharp little intake of breath, and Thomas stopped, pulling away again.

“Sorry, I…” he swallowed, “I understand if you don’t want…”

You cut him off by way of kissing him, hard. Thomas gave a grunt of surprise, then wrapped his arms around your waist and pulled you closer. It was right, this was how it was supposed to be. You held in his embrace, fitted against his body like you were the last piece in a puzzle. Because you were, you were the last piece in his puzzle. 

Thomas broke away first, looking down at you still held in his arms.

“That was…” you said, looking puzzled, “That felt really familiar.”

“Do you believe me?” He asked, and you nodded thoughtfully.

“Yes, Greenie,” – he rolled his eyes at that – “yes, I think I do.”

NWH Thoughts (with Spoilers)

I’ve had this in my drafts and finally remembered to post it. It’s super long so you’ve been warned

I know we knew this going in but I really liked that it just immediately picked up with the daily bugle announcement. Even just having the sound under the studio logos brought you right back into the moment from the end of FFH. Of course we had to get one smug shot of Mysterio’s face (seriously would be on sight if you know any of this was real).

The swinging scenes were really well done and I know it was such a hardship for TZ to have to be stuck to each other for all those days of filming 😂. That first scene in his apartment though is still probably the most chaotic and hilarious and I just want to watch it on repeat. Happy not knowing how to handle a break up, May just trying to get him out, PJ making the most suggestive noises in their moments of panic. Shirtless Peter. May being a mood when seeing their compromising position and still going to introduce herself to MJ. Peter bouncing around to close all the windows while focusing on happy and May even though he has much bigger problems. 10/10.

I love that his legal troubles weren’t drawn out. May and MJ being on the same sunshine protector squad was amazing. Getting confirmation that MJ is Michelle Jones-Watson and he giving zero fucks when being interrogated while also driving looks. I am in love. And sweet sweet Ned. Bless him. Then Daredevil showing up at the kitchen table and catching a brick. It’s fine he’s just a really good lawyer *screams*

Happy lives like a NBA rookie who just got money and I’m here for it. And of course he lives on LI. Dum-E!!!! The whole Peter MJ face time conversation is adorable and Z’s line delivery was on point. I love playful sarcastic MJ. Honestly would watch a whole movie of them just interacting with each other.

Darnell 100% was the best part of that exterior school scene. I just love him. Still not sure how I feel about blonde flash but I do love that in a few weeks tops he’s been able to write and publish a whole ass book detailing his “best friendom” with Spider-Man.

The teachers at Midtown are always hilarious and I am so sad they cut the rest of the school scene out and we only got a minute of them. I want more of Mr. Dell and Mr. Harrington fawning all over Peter (that case though 😂) while the gym teacher hates him cause he’s team mysterio.

Rooftop PJ!! Need I say more… Also Ned being the oblivious third wheel the whole movie had me dying. He really said “okay you’ve got a girl now, what does that have to do with me?”

Them not realizing they didn’t get in to college with all those small ass envelopes… really? I know it’s been a decade since I had to do college admissions but pretty sure small envelopes are universal for rejection. Also having watched so many acceptance videos more than likely it would have been an email. So weird choice.

And now we get my least favorite part of every Spider-Man movie… Peter being a fucking idiot. He’s so smart. Like canonically he’s one of the smartest people in the world but his lack of common sense drives me up the wall. How hard would it be to just listen to Dr. Strange telling you to stop talking. Tell everyone you love your Spider-Man again and leave it alone. Better yet just ask for Everyone to forget Mysterio and everything he’s ever said. And boom done. Strange is me also when realizing he didn’t even attempt any other solution first. Like I love Peter but he’s so dumb it hurts.

The bridge fight with Doc Ock was immaculate and Peter playing with his tentacles once he gained control was probably the most comic Peter Parker we’ve ever seen him. But the real winner was protective Peter coming out ready to kill when he says “I should have killed your little girlfriend” Yeah he flipped a switch. Also MIT lady ready to read Otto the riot act also hilarious.

The jump scares in the basement scene, is that the horror moments they kept teasing cause… ok. Peter now recognizing he should ask his friends for assistance when needing to catch villains. If only you had thought to brainstorm with them before breaking the multiverse.(MJ agrees) And again Ned’s just happy to be there. Peter trying to get paint out of his suit and then deciding to just turn it inside out. But leaves it in the water and in the next breath he says he needs to go. No way your suit is dry at all but ok.

I’m so glad they didn’t keep Jamie Foxx blue. Ned and MJ were very unhelpful on video chat but I loved that he wanted them there. Peter “fixing” power lines with web. Friend I don’t think it works that way.

More protective Peter (my favorite Peter) when he gets that call from May. Only to get Norman in the kitchen stealing donuts. I love May but please let him be a kid and stop saying fixing these villains is his job. They’re grown ass men in need of therapy and he’s 17. You do it if you care so much.

Strange was right. I do not care argue with a wall. Their deaths don’t matter and they needed to just go home. Even after everything at the end the only real redeemable one feels like Doc. But I do applaud MJ for standing between Peter while running and Dr. Strange. Yes girl protect your man even if he is known for making very hasty decisions he clearly hasn’t thought through.

Still confused why exactly astral projection didn’t work on Peter but we did get “you know what’s better than magic… math” which is just so Peter but more hilarious since we know how Tom feels about “maths”.

The villains being in disbelief that Peter could pull MJ 😂 And her once again being the captain of the Peter Protection Squad while threatening them.

And moving to Happy’s apartment is when it all went to shit. And I just wanted to pull my hair out and yell at Peter for trusting them without any sort of insurance policy. Like leave them in the cages. Take them one by one. I don’t care but a whole apartment full of known villains is just disaster waiting to happen. And it did. Love the visualization of his spider sense and that’s the last nice thing I’ll say about that.

I can’t believe they fucking killed off May. May??? Are you fucking kidding me. He’s 17 barely and now he’s on his own. Did we just forget he’s a minor. That was fucking stupid and I stand by this stance. We did get her quoting the actual correct SM quote from the comics so I guess that’s something. And Marissa and Tom acted their asses off but I was just still so angry they killed her.

The aftermath of him in front of those LED billboard broke me. I was in the theatre crying with him. He just looked so broken (and fuck all the people who get a hard on for this version of Peter. And act like he hasn’t been through enough. This was enough right here and then it gets worse.) 😡

Ok so I’ll admit I wasn’t initially a fan of T and A being in the movie but Ned conjuring a portal and being Andrew in was so great to see with a crowd. Also MJ throwing bread is a mood. Ned’s Lola also a mood when she started ranting about the webs being shot. Tobey just causally walking through the portal like he doesn’t have a care in the world. Another mood.

We’re back on the rooftop and their hugging and I’m back to crying. They weren’t lying when they said this movie was emotional. Holy crap the way he breaks down while they’re holding him then grabs them either tighter until he senses something is off and then jumps up and moves MJ behind him. He’s so over everything and these assholes are still like no just fix them. No Peter be selfish and say fuck off.

I did love the lab scene. Andrew watch PJ and seeing the obvious love between them and getting dad missing Gwen (his MJ). Hearing Tobey also has a girl named MJ. Ned learning about the Spider-Man best friend to villain pipeline. Peter having no clue about that conversation but Ned vowing to never try to kill him confusing the hell out of Peter but making T and A proud. Everyone freaking out over Tobey’s organic webs, (as they should organic webbing has always been gross to me). Later the boys not letting it go and Peter asking if it comes out of anywhere else. Bless.

The final fight was absolute chaos cause they don’t know how to work in a team besides Peter. “I don’t want to brag but I will” yes Peter. And Andrew assuming the Avengers were a band 😂. Also Andrew just radiating golden retriever energy. His “I love you guys” he is the definition of just happy to be here.

Ned not knowing how to close the portals 🤦🏾‍♀️ MJ being so supportive and trying to coach him through it. I really liked that we got a lot of MJ/Ned interactions this movie. They’re hilarious together. He never gets it to close but he does bring back Stephen who is definitely impressed with Ned.

You know what’s not hilarious though MJ falling and the green goblin clipping Peter mid air. But Andrew gets to redeem himself for not catching Gwen. And we get a nice safe landing for our girl who is very confused why this grown man is about to cry just from catching her.

And now we get Dark Peter, the hottest Peter Parker has ever been probably. Cause watching him go feral and beat the absolute shit out of the Goblin was amazing and gave me something I never knew I needed. I really just wanted him to end him but you know moral high ground Tobey had to come and ruin the fun (kidding, not really)

And now the moment that ripped out my heart, part 1. Watching Peter tell the MJ and Ned they’re going to forget them. Ned and his long hand shake. And then Z gave the most heart breaking performance as she said goodbye. “I really hate magic” “I love you” “I love” “just wait and tell me when you see me again”… (cue mental breakdown). They awwed while watching the trailer. There was nothing Aww about that kiss. It was fucking heart breaking. And I just want them back together. It’s okay though he’s totally going to keep his PROMISE and tell her how he feels when he goes in the coffee shop. But wait he sees a bandaid and decided to fuck it and just keep quiet. WTF. She has a small scrape. Boy if you don’t tell her how you feel. She had that look on her face like she was putting together pieces. She’s going to figure it out and then ream your ass out and you deserve it.

Peter Parker meets Cherry…yeah that’s all I have to say about that. (Apparently the beanie exists solely because they shot that in November and his hair was too long.)

And we get lonely PP in his one room apartment with mementos from his former life. He made a new suit. (Why so shiny Peter?) And that’s how it ends. Tom Z and Jacob were going to fight because y’all kept saying it was a satisfying ending and that was the biggest load of bullshit you’ve ever said.

10 Animations (and games) that made my life a little better

So for my first post I’d like to just share my appreciation for 10 animations I really felt a connection to, whether they were emotional, out of fascination or just pure amazement. I have no “rules” for what kind of animations they’re gonna be, aside from them being animated (Shocker I know). 

So yeah, I hope yall enjoy this list, and leave a comment about some of the animations that left you with a smile on your face!

#1- Wall-e

I’m gonna start of this list with my favourite animated movie (or just movie in general): Wall-e. It’s no secret that Pixar makes great animations, and I know I’m not the only one who loves this movie. What really captures my attention is the feeling of soltitude and ambience shown throughout the first act of the movie, until Eve arrives. What I find great about this part is how much “show don’t tell” is used, to describe to us, the viewers, about the post-apocalyptic world. 

Being that the main character almost never speaks, repeating alot of words or lines when he actually does, makes it super duper cool how the animators used visual storytelling to show us how the world has gone to shit, as well as Wall-e’s expressions and sounds to pinpoint exactly how he feels. 

If you haven’t seen this movie, I highly reccomend it!

#2- Ori and the Blind Forest

For my second pick I chose one of my favourite games, name is in the title.For me, this game has everything: Awesome music, tight gameplay, a flubtastic story, and smooth animation. Playing this game really felt like going on a journey through a MAGICAL world, where anything could happen! Even though this game was the source of alot, and I mean ALOT, of ragequits, it still brought me back every time. The art in this game is fenomenal, and combined with the animation I really feel it when Ori, the game’s main character, flies through the world, up and down walls and through changing environments. 

Also Managing those difficult jumps feels really satisfying!

#3- Death Parade

There are alot of animes out there (yes I’m a weeabo), but there’s a few that I’ve really enjoyed, Death parade is one of them. It’s opening might trick you to think you’re gonna watch a friendly, happy-go-lucky show about different people living in purgatory, but you couldn’t be more wrong. It’s dark themes and how it tackles different topics about human pshychology with a touch of humor and warmth really got to me. I felt a connection with the main character in a way I haven’t with any other characters in anime, and the realization about the main characters fate (no spoilers), really worked for me. 

#4- Night in the Woods

I really love this game. I don’t know if it’s the overall great stylized aesthetics, the great, great music, the amount of clever, funny voicelines given to the characters, the characters themselves, showing multitudes of different personalities and charisma, the general story of the game, the oh-so-smooth animation or the underlying themes of friendship, anxiety and an existential crisis that grips me. I might have a clue though. 

This game really delves into the greater questions about life in a really humorous and philosophical way, and i loved every step of the journey. It has really worked as an inspiration for me when it comes to creativity and life itself.

#5- Spider-man: Into the Spider-verse (trailer)

I’m just gonna throw this out here first to clearify: As of the date I wrote this list, the full movie wasn’t out, so I had just the trailer to go by.

Ok, I’m not gonna lie. The moment I saw the trailer for the spider-verse movie my mind. Was. Blown. The animation in this video is perfect. It’s the amazing mix between cycadelic cartoon meeting animation. The colors are vibrant, the animation is smooth as butter, and the textures really capture the comic-feel of everything. Along with me being a Spider-man fanboy I really love the whole concept of the spider-verse, and I can’t wait for this movie to come out

I hope Spider-pig is in it.

#6- Animator vs. Animation (the whole series)

If you watch alot of animations on youtube, you’re bound to come by one of these videos. Made by Alan Becker, Animator vs Animation is a series about an animator (You don’t say), who has to fight his own animated stickman. The genious about these videos is how it’s animated. The animator uses different tools in the animation program, as well as the computer and even phone, to really make it seem that he’s fighting with a virtual stickman. Getting better and better for each video, you can really see how different principles of animation are applied, to make for a really cool untraditional “stick-man fight���.

The series is pretty funny and shows you how creative and meta you can get with animation. Just don’t come to me if your pc is attacked by a small stickman.

#7- Angry Birds - Piggy Tales (The first two seasons)

NOW BEFORE YOU LEAVE THIS BLOG IN DISAPPOINTMENT AND ANGER, let me just say that there’s a special reason as to why I chose this, out of all things.

There was a period in my life where I was going through some rough things, and I spent a lot of time cooped up in the hospital. As I didn’t have a lot to do, phone games became my rescue, one of them being angry birds. I remember getting 3 stars on every stage (get on my level noobs), and having fun watching the different animations the creators of angrybirds made. 

That being said, Piggy Tales is actually a funny short show, made on computer to resemble clay and stop-motion animation, making use of physical humor and slapstick. The animation is pretty smooth and funny, where different kinds of settings are explored each time. 

Be aware though, as the third season shifts from clay-like animation to more refined animation. This might be off putting for those who found the clay-style appealing.

Piggy Tales are short but many, so if you wanna kill some time, this might be a good time-assassin. 

#8- When Marnie was there

I had to include a Ghibli film here, I mean come on! Which one was the question though, but I was kinda allready set on one in particular. “When Marnie was there” is my favourite Ghibli film. I feel like it really connected with the movie in a weird beautiful way. The themes I saw and experienced throughout the movie, might not have been the same as the ones the writers and producers saw. opr me though, I felt like the movie really showed what it can feel like to be alone. Along with beautiful music and composition of scenery, the movie really grabbed me from the get-go and didn’t release me until the credits started rolling. What I was left with was a feeling of solitude, but at the same time I felt grateful for having friends and family, and for being part of this journey we call life. 

Conclusion: Anime makes you feel feelings. 

#9- Sly Cooper (trailer)

As with the Spider-verse, this is only a trailer, since the movie has been either cancelled or suspended for a long time.

The Sly Cooper games were the first games I ever played on a home console, so they have a big place in my nerd-soul. So when a movie was announced, I was well on my way to the cinnemas, even before the trailer was released. When I saw the trailer though, I was overwhelmed with just pure good-feels. The character-designs had changed to give them a more natural look, but it worked really well in my opinion.

As for the dialogue, the voiceactors were the same as the ones I grew up with, aside from the main character, Sly, but I let that slide since the new voice actor, Ian James Corlett pulled off Sly’s charcter pretty good! The animation of him jumping, sliding and running through the city also matched the way it felt playing the game, and doing those exact same actions.

If the movie ever comes out, I’ll be the first in line by any sacrifice necessary.

#10- Pooh’s Grand Adventure: The Search for Christopher Robin

To finish of this list I thought I’d share a piece of nostalgia! Though It’s been a long time since I last saw it, this movie was a big part of my childhood! Now don’t make fun of me for choosing a kids movie for this list, I still think this movie has a great story and music, along with the animation and background-paintings. Besides, making fun of me makes me sad, and I’m a big boy so I’m not supposed to cry. 

This movie really excels at showing how vivid our imagination can be. Every scary location in the movie is shown at the end to be a reimagined version of reality, emphasizing just how much a kids imagination changes the world around them. 

So yeah! Thanks for reading through my list of 10 animated things that really made for the raisin in the sausage (It’s a norwegian saying so don’t feel confused). 

I don’t know what this list says about me as a person, but it is what it is. I also hope you found some of the stuff on this list intriguing, and that you might wanna check it out. 

Welp, that’s it for me! 

Ztufs out!
