I’ve seen ‘Puss in Boots: The Last Wish’ three times and counting

Natalie Allton | Wednesday, January 25, 2023

“Puss in Boots: The Last Wish” was recently announced as a nominee for the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature Film. It’s a sequel to the 2011 “Puss in Boots” film, which was so culturally impactful that I couldn’t remember anything about it even after I looked up the plot synopsis, despite the fact that

2022 was the year of Pinocchio

Andy Ottone | Thursday, January 19, 2023

Who doesn’t love Pinocchio? Whether it’s Carlo Collidi’s original novel or Walt Disney’s 1940 feature film, many know the story of the wooden boy with the growing nose. In 2022, three film adaptations were released, and I took it upon myself to watch all three. I would be remiss to not mention an influence on

Animation Nation: ‘Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse’

Gabriel Zarazua | Wednesday, November 9, 2022

This past week was one of my roughest weeks yet. Yes, I got to see a part of history and storm the field while Notre Dame beat Clemson, but waiting for me was three paintings and one drawing with fast-approaching deadlines. The Sunday Scaries were hitting hard and more late nights were coming. Naturally, I

‘Primal’ and the language of evolution

JP Spoonmore | Thursday, September 22, 2022

Genndy Tartakovsky’s “Primal” is a masterpiece like no other. Through blood and prehistoric rage, the silence of a show without dialogue is drowned under the terrifying screams of beasts fighting their very extinction. But this is more than just a show about a caveman and a T-rex fighting duo. Sprayed across this show’s violent tapestry

Animation recommendations: ‘If Anything Happens I Love You’

Gabriel Zarazua | Wednesday, September 21, 2022

Whether sudden or expected, the death of a loved one is something we can never prepare for. Grief is not easy. Imagine you stumble across an old item — a beloved sweatshirt, a collar with a bell on it or a trinket in the back of a cabinet. You start to remember all the good

Animation recommendations: ‘Mob Psycho 100’

Gabriel Zarazua | Tuesday, September 13, 2022

“Your life is your own”  In this world, we are all born with our own special gifts, whether we see them that way or not. Some people are fast, “booksmart”, or good at art. Either way, they are just another characteristic. We must embrace that as part of ourselves and continue to live positively. However,

Animation Recommendation: ‘A Silent Voice’

Gabriel Zarazua | Tuesday, September 6, 2022

“Animation is something kids enjoy, and adults have to endure.”  The 2022 Oscars received major backlash as presenters Halle Bailey, Lily James and Naomi Scott came out to present the award and spoke on how animated movies are “formative experiences” for kids who watch them “over and over.” Many animators throughout Hollywood, including famous director

‘Guess why I smile a lot. Uh, cause it’s worth it.’

Annie Brown | Wednesday, August 31, 2022

Propelled seemingly by some mechanism inside its rubber body, a tennis ball rolls, turns and erratically bounces down the stairs, eventually coming to rest near the couch.  The ball is a little tattered, as if it has been rolled down these stairs many times before and the viewer is simply looking in on a daily

The nuances of ‘Chip N’ Dale: Rescue Rangers’

Andy Ottone | Wednesday, August 31, 2022

Before reviewing Disney’s “Chip N’ Dale: Rescue Rangers,” let’s take a look at one specific scene. At one point the titular duo gets cornered during an attempted locker room heist by a DJ, who also happens to be a snake. To distract from their theft, Chip and Dale freestyle rap about how they do not

Let me talk about ‘Miraculous Ladybug’

Natalie Allton | Wednesday, March 23, 2022

Okay. Hear me out. “Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir” is a French children’s show about two superheroes, Ladybug and Chat Noir. Every episode, the villainous Hawk Moth “akumatizes” (read: makes a supervillain out of) a poor Parisian having a bad day, with the aim of stealing the Miraculous jewels that give Ladybug and
