Behold the revival of good animation movies

I’m so fucking mad at myself for not adding Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio and now that tmnt muntant mayhem got released and I love it sm as well so here it is months later

Best of 2023 Animation (both movies and TV shows). Or at least the best animated projects I've seen in 2023.

In no particular order:

Here's to hoping 2024 will be full of awesome Animated Projects too!

dont need to thank me

So much to take in, what is happening this year for cinema?

@joshbruh10x ready for a movie marathon :)?

To all the people who say that these films are copying and/or ripping off Spider-verse because they have similar animation styles:

PLEASE SHUT THE ACTUAL HELL UP.

It legitimately aggravates me when people say that this art/media is copying this other art/media just because it committed the oh so heretical act of having common elements. Like when people say that "The Owl House is ripping off Amphibia because they have similar premises", or that "this cartoon art style is generic because bean mouths" or some shit.

As a person who still trying to grow as a digital artist, I know for a fact that creativity is not simply just conjuring up something completely different from everything else out of thin air. It's about taking certain elements and qualities and arranging and reassembling them in a way that's unique.

There's no denying that Spider-verse was nothing short of revolutionary when it came to its animation, but even though the above 4 films clearly have many things in common with Spider-verse (and each other), they each still have many other qualities and subtleties that make their animation styles stand out on their own.

In the end, all I'm saying is that just because this art/media is similar to another does not automatically mean it's less creative.

They were all inspired by Spiderverse and that’s a GOOD thing

Hell, Shrek was inspired by Disney to become the anti-Disney movie

Luca was inspired by Ghibli Movies

We should be encouraging this inspiration, the unoriginal art of copying elements, because that’s what every artist does

Musicians sample music (Star Wars has a surprising number of Western samples in its OST) and authors sample tropes (as well as defy those tropes, but you have to know the rules before you break them)

You can’t say “omg why are you drawing with pastels that’s MY thing” because everyone is free to create art in their favorite formats using their favorite tools

Spiderverse sparked a revolution in visual media and I for one CAN’T WAIT to see more of the after-effects

MUTANT MAYHEM TEASER 😭!.!.!
