Appreciate your work on updating this!

Genuine question. How representative is anime corner to the tastes of the broader viewer base?

• The Last Mermaid #5
• Absolute Power #1
• Birds of Prey #11
• Scarlett #2
• Public Domain #6

Super interesting. I think there was a lot of interest from young 20-somethings that really pushed this movie like crazy. Makes sense considering they were probably the perfect age for the original.

Also probably helps that there aren’t a lot of well marketed “kids movies” this summer break for parents to take them to.

Is that Disney is good at making their films seem like “must see” events, that they’re perceived as a cultural staple.

Disney has really struggled with this the last few years though.

I think the era of stars at that level is over.

!animation@lemm.ee is doing pretty well. Last couple of weeks I have started getting other people posting so I’m not feeling as pressured to find something to post every day. There was also a lot of news to share due to the recent Annecy festival. Now that it’s over, the associated subscriber growth has slowed down a little bit, but I do have some ideas to have more discussion and conversation starters rather than mostly just news all the time.

Hey if they can even come close to the greatness of the latest Puss in Boots movies, I’m all in.

Oh that’s super interesting! Really liked the book and Studio Laika has made some awesome stop motion films.

Thanks!
