A screenshot of a few paragraphs from an article on the entertainment news site. It reads:

"So far, Marvel Studios is the only in-house VFX team unionized with IATSE, but Walt Disney Pictures VFX staffers recently moved to unionize in late August.

"This is a historic step and I'm glad to be part of it, Thomas Barnard, VFX coordinator at Marvel, said in a statement. "Not only will this radically change the game by increasing the quality of storytelling through our work, it's also a huge step forward for taking care of the unsung individuals who helped to build the industry.

The next step for the union is to engage in collective bargaining negotiations with Marvel Studios execs in order to draft a contract that addresses workers' needs. As of now, negotiation dates have yet to be scheduled."

Also, for context IATSE is the major union that entertainment industry technicians and craftspeople are organized under, ranging from sound production to set builders to now VFX!

Go Hot Labor Summer, can't wait for Hot Labor Fall

Apparently there's a new Disney mobile game where the characters are all redesigned and idk anything about it but my Twitter feed has been going nuts at this Woody design which made me laugh so hard I had to run to the bathroom to wipe the tears off my face

okay fuckin. hold on. I just found it (it's called Disney Mirrorverse) and holy shit ALL of them are like this

like what the fuck is going on

SULLEY????

update: THERE'S MORE

love this

mother fucker they girlbossified cruella

I FUCKING HATE DYSNEY BUT THIS IS SO FUNNY

It just means so much to me :’)

All the weird misinterpretations and revisions of Russian history aside, Anastasia is one of my favourite movies because its plot structure is so fucking weird

It’s a period piece romance. That’s cool, that’s all well and good, except that on the sidelines there’s an undead warlock who’s trying so hard to kill the protagonist, but all in ways that the protagonist either doesn’t notice or doesn’t accept as supernatural

And it isn’t a twist! The audience knows about the warlock! The warlock has a villain song! The warlock is one of the principal characters! But the protagonist spends 95% of the movie completely unaware of the warlock, and just spends the entirety of the movie doing period piece romance things while being repeatedly inconvenienced by the warlock until the climax, when the protagonist has to very suddenly

I have never seen a movie with a plot structure like this before, and I don’t think I’ll see one like it ever again. It’s like an adaptation of Pride and Prejudice that turns Lady Catherine into a vampire who’s just repeatedly trying to drink Lizzy’s blood, but Lizzy doesn’t even notice until the climax whereupon she stuffs Lady Catherine’s mouth with garlic and cuts off her head (an adaptation I would kill to see, by the way). There are two completely different genres playing out at the same time, and one of them is trying to kill the other

Anyways that’s why the stage musical is bad, thank you and good night

The only thing I’m adding to this is that Disney’s Hercules has almost the same hero-villain dynamic in that the protagonist and antagonist think they are the heroes of two wildly different stories, and the protagonist doesn’t really know the antagonist exists until the endgame starts. It’s so fucking bizarre. They also both came out in 1997, and feature a red-headed protagonist who starts the story trying to find out who their parents are and falls in love with a shady brunette with dubious intentions who winds up trying to sacrifice themselves so the protagonist can live/be happy. I dunno what this means, but coincidence? I think NOT!

Listen that was just the vibe of 97 alright some shit went down that year

Alex Hirsch reminding us all to go buy the Gravity Falls complete series set since streaming services are untrustworthy now

possible explanations for Baymax being able to get 10 bags full of menstrual products:

The new baymax shorts are good, thank you animators for the representation, and remember kids, Disney doesn't get the credit for the diversity!! Animators typically have to fight for it, just remember alex hirsh and dana terrace and Rebecca sugar! And thats just to name a few off the top of my head, along with the animators who fought to keep Louisa physically buff!

hey my friends and I just all remembered the disney channel original movie “Luck of the Irish” exists so we found it and watched it (don’t do this) and it’s four messes and a half but at the end the main character challenges the enemy leprechaun to a wager and says “if you lose, you’ll be banished to the land of my father, to spend eternity on the shores of Eerie” and the bad guy corrects him and says “Éire,” thinking he’d mispronounced the Gaeilge for Ireland,

and when he loses he’s like “I’m going back to my homeland, and I’ll gain power once again!” and the main character is like “no. My MOTHER is from Ireland. My dad’s from Cleveland.”

and the bad guy gets banished to live on the shores of Lake Eerie in Ohio forever and I’ve been thinking about that for like two weeks now

please watch this video of real ass complaints alex hirsch got for his work on gravity falls, it is comically bad

The entire video is so good and worth watching ;-;:

Here’s a transcript of Dana’s video, in case anyone needs it:

Hi everyone! This is Dana Terrace, creator of the Owl House, and if you’ve been following my timeline, you know that Disney was recently found out to be donating large sums of money–hundreds of thousands of dollars–to the sponsors and co-sponsors of the Don’t Say Gay Bill, a bill that effectively tells LGBTQ+ kids, “You don’t exist, you don’t deserve to exist, and you shouldn’t even be talked about, sh.” Well, we got a company-wide email this morning, basically telling us in summary: Disney as a company is not going to change, we’re not going to not give money to these people, but here are a bunch of flowery and compassionate words to shut you up. The email goes on to say–from Bob Chapek–that “I believe the best way for our company to bring about lasting change is through the inspiring content we produce and the diverse organizations we support.” Yes! Such diverse organizations, such as all the Republicans who want to out queer kids against their will and put them in danger! It’s honestly hard to talk about this stuff, I’m someone who had a hard time coming to terms with my queerness until my mid-twenties because of stuff like this, because I thought I shouldn’t exist, because no one even told me I had the option of existing! And man, I know I got bills to pay, but working for this company has made me so distraught, and I hate having moral quandaries about how I feed myself and how I support my loved ones. So, I’m gonna to put this video to an end, and I’m gonna end it by saying, March 13th, we’re doing a charity stream, twitch.tv/DanaTerrace, we’re gonna do a charity stream that will go to support actual queer organizations to help actual queer kids, and we’re not just gonna say pretty words to shut you up. So thank you, hope to see you there, and have a good day. Byeee!

My name is Helga Sinclair. I’m acting on behalf of my employer, who has a most intriguing proposition for you. Are you interested?

ATLANTIS: THE LOST EMPIRE (2001)

Every found family should have

Look at this family, a glowing constellation So full of stars and everybody wants to shine But the stars don’t shine, they burn And the constellations shift

ENCANTO (2021)

#The most relatable character in Encanto was the 10 years old kid with an addiction to coffee

Cross your fingers for Disney losing full Avengers rights

Just to be clear this would not make them unable to make the movies they’d just have to properly pay the creators and their families for the use of the characters.

I fucking hope they lose so bad.
