I think this might be missing a few line breaks.

I think it easiest view this usage of “animated films” as a genre rather than an a technical description. Films like the MCU and Avatar will have digital effects on every frame but they are not marketed as animated films.

According to Wikipedia the top 5 are:

• Despicable Me
• Shrek
• Toy Story
• Ice Age
• Frozen

For some reason Wikipedia isn’t listing Pokemon on the animated franchise table but The Numbers put the Pokemon franchise box office at $1.156b. If we cross reference that with the Wikipedia table that places it above The Lego Move but below The Secret Life of Pets.

It sure feels like they took an intensive three week course.

They interpreted esports as the electronic version of sports (similar to email, e-cigarettes , E-commerce, etc) instead of the more common usage of playing video games as a competitive sport.

Every developer would be happy to put in a paintball mode if it got them Olympic level press coverage.

I had a look at some comparison numbers over on Wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_films#Highest-grossing_franchises_and_film_series

It looks the main Shrek series (2001 to 2010) averaged $745m each while the first 3 Despicable Me films (2010 to 2017) averaged $849m each. These numbers feel roughly equivalent given inflation.

But the spinoff series is a different story! The two Minions films (2015 and 2022) average $1b each while the two Puss in Boots films (2011 and 2022) average only $520m.

Its a shame Puss in Boots didn’t achieve more success, I thought they were both excellent films.

The problem wasn’t that the line I wanted wasn’t on the page—it’s that the whole document wasn’t being rendered at once, so my browser’s builtin search bar just couldn’t find it.

I feel like this has been the case for a while now. Luckily they offer other search tools so its a gotcha that you only have to hit once.

In edit mode they capture the crtl-f keystrokes and offer their own search and replace tool. An argument could be made that they should offer a custom search tool for read mode if they are going to break the browsers built in tooling.

On android I take a screenshot and use the lens tool in my photos app.

The screenshot tool has a lens feature too but that one only offers opening the link while photos will also let me copy the URL without sending it to my browser.

In this case it is: https://watchdominion.org/

Lens is also good for OCR with built in copy to clipboard and translation features. As you can screenshot most apps or take a photo of a sign, letter, gift card, etc. it can be a handy little tool.

Its sales have probably dropped off so it may not beat Sword and Shield but 25 million is nothing to sniff at.

And the grammaphone was just leapfrogged; the first news radio broadcast was only 7 years after this cartoon

These phone services were the current tech when the strip was printed.

I thought it was “better than 3”, I know thats faint praise but I had more fun than I was expecting so I left the cinema happy.
