The Silver Screen Oasis

nice examples of different modern techniques

I've seen

Apollo 10 1/2
DC League of Super-Pets
Lightyear
Mad God
The Sea Beast
Turning Red

I liked Apollo, Sea Beast and Turning Red quite a bit. Lightyear was better than expected but nothing exceptional. Super-Pets was run-of-the-mill. Mad God was unhinged and very unique, but will turn off a lot of viewers.

While I'm sick and tired of the story, I am looking forward to Del Toro's Pinocchio.

if you check out some of these, you'll see quite a diversity of imaginative techniques....
Animation ain't ALL Pixar, Disney & 'South Park'...

"This year’s Golden Globes nominees were revealed today, and the animated feature race sees big budget U.S. studio fare go up against the best from Japan.
Best Motion Picture, Animated

The Boy and the Heron (Studio Ghibli)
Elemental – (Pixar)
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse – (Sony Pictures Animation)
The Super Mario Bros. Movie – (Illumination)
Suzume – (Toho Co.)
Wish – (Disney)

The big U.S. award shows have largely ignored anime titles in the past, and it was easy to envision a scenario in which voters would only be willing to pick one film from the region. In fact, the Globes have never nominated to anime titles in the same year, making the inclusion of Makoto Shinkai’s Suzume a pleasant surprise. That said, the nomination is entirely deserved considering the film’s critical, audience, and box office receptions. ..."
