If you want to see real 3D CalArts look no further than Pixar's upcoming Turning Red.

The character doesn't look so beanmouth-y in stills, but all her exaggerated expressions are Steven Universe in 3D. This is a deliberate design choice.

I just see Ponyo. Either way I'm kind of burned out on Disney films right now so this will probably go on the pile with Raya until I get bored enough to watch them. Still haven't seen Monsters at Work, but I haven't heard great things which sadly confirms my suspicions about it.

tfw you learn the only reason Disneyland exists at all is because old man Walt was having a midlife crisis and was obsessed with trains.


I'm not even kidding his love of amusement parks and recapturing his youth coupled with a love of trains lead to him prioritizing the construction of Disneyland over everything, even the production of the animated films.

Don't forget the monorail and the people mover - trains of the future.

Disney believed in it as the future so much that he wanted to build a brand new community with monorails and people movers as the main method of transportation there. An experimental prototype city of tomorrow if you will.

That never happened obviously, but I think he'd have been excited about other technological advances. Like people doing virtual shopping on tiny rectangular computers they carry in their pockets, or being able to watch movies in high quality in their home without projection equipment and on a big TV that's also compact and flat at the same time.

It’s funny how people miss that, that Disneyland is basically a huge model train layout. The model train guys I know would love to be able to walk they their layouts and I bet Walt, Ward and the others loved it.

On another note I feel bad for the Disney Parks employees who’ll be asked to move to Lake Nona in Florida, the housing shortage in Nona means they’ll probably get raped on rent or mortgages, and Disney’s relocation plans they offer are barely a pittance from what I hear; still, Josh D’Amaro is spinning it in official comms as a great deal because Florida’s cheaper somehow. I’m sure those employees will recoup losses in… oh, 20 years.

If I worked for Disney parks and got asked to relo to Orlando, I think I’d be insulted at the idea of basically being asked to by swampland in Florida.

Really not sure how they're planning on cramming 2,000 families into the Lake Nona area. It's on the ass-end of Orlando and neighborhoods tend to get sketchy very quick as you get further away from there.

The mayor is giggling over all the phat tax dollars nice Disney people coming to live in Nona, and assures everyone they're ready for the surge but local real estate brokers say there is a housing shortage and higher prices accordingly.

My guess is the relocated Disneyslaves will find all they can afford is rentals in bad neighborhoods and will have long commutes as well.
 
To briefly get back to Turning Red, I’m cautiously optimistic about it. It’s from the director of Bao, a short that baffled me when I first saw it but grew to really like it after watching it a billion times with my daughter, and the absurdity of the premise harkens back to that really creative stretch of films from the late 2000s (specifically Ratatouille, WALL-E, and Up). And say what you will about “hur hur Cal Arts mouth,” the moments before the transformation have them doing things with the character models that Pixar rarely does.

The tentative plans seem to be that Disney is putting in some sort of new housing units in related to a presumably new building for operations.
From what I've heard it looks like mostly corporate / imagineering types, not like they're shipping mop and bucket technicians over, and they were already affording Cali housing with the stupid high costs _and_ commie taxes, so it should balance out okay to just have pricedup current FL rates.
 
In order to counter out the recent and frankly...Horrible news please enjoy this 1941 Disney cartoon featuring a cute kitten.
