The power of animation: A Shrektrospective

Anna Falk | Wednesday, April 26, 2023

As a student at Notre Dame, it’s hard to deny my love for the “Shrek” franchise. The film boasts of alleged connections with the University that have been denied by various sources but still remain present in campus culture. If it were any other film, the perpetuation of such mysteries and affections would not be

‘Demon Slayer: To The Swordsmith Village’ is a cash grab

Caitlin Brannigan | Monday, March 27, 2023

It is a major stretch to call “Demon Slayer: To The Swordsmith Village” a movie. The latest installment in the popular action anime functions more to excite fans about the new season than to deliver good cinema. The film is the last two episodes of season two combined with the first episode of season three,

‘Ferb, I know what we’re gonna do today!’: Fifteen years of ‘Phineas and Ferb’

Andy Ottone | Thursday, February 9, 2023

There’s 104 days of summer vacation, and it’s been 5,488 days since the official debut of the first episode of “Phineas and Ferb” on Disney Channel. As a lifelong fan of the series, it is my pleasure to bring you through the show’s development, what came after it ended and what the show means to

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

This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bou This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bouts will begin its preliminary rounds. A men’s boxing tournament that benefits the Holy Cross Mission in Bangladesh, Bengal Bouts seems to perfectly combine two integral aspects of Notre Dame’s identity: a passion for sports and a commitment to social impact.

This week, From the Archives takes a long overdue look at the history of Bengal Bouts. While this tournament predates the Observer by nearly four decades, we uncovered a selection of stories that capture at least a part of the rich history of this Notre Dame tradition.

We asked you to Ask The Observer Sports Department We asked you to Ask The Observer Sports Department and you responded with the request: “Northwestern @ Notre Dame 2014 Football Breakdown”. That game was a heartbreaking loss for a Notre Dame team that had started 6-0 before stumbling down the stretch to a 7-5 record. A bowl game win over LSU salvaged some optimism for the program’s future, but that loss to Northwestern was a shocking result that contributed to one of the more appalling stretches of Irish football in the Brian Kelly era.
