Somehow they got Richard Williams to do this ad, which makes its existence even more bizarre.

Merry Christmas! Enjoy this banned and hilariously dark anti-Soviet Union propaganda commercial.

Hey, don’t blame me, blame autocorrect. :wink: I do need to watch Super/Man on Max as soon as I’m able to. It had a theatrical run here for about a week but didn’t stick around long enough for anyone to really check it out (which has sadly become the norm for smaller releases post-pandemic. Memoir o...

I actually had to Google who he was.

But I’m so excited this film is actually happening after years and years of people trying and failing to get it off the ground.

I’m hoping this does well. Even if it is focusing on Merida for some reason (someone Tolkien didn’t even name in the texts), but hey, she at least looks like a cool character. But WB isn’t marketing it at all. I know anime in general has a large but still niche audience in the states, but there shou...
