Just crushing.

This is getting so weird. 2025 in a nutshell:

Well, this looks terrible…

Beautifully animated but absolutely heart-wrenching Alzheimer's PSA from the UK. Seriously, this one's hard to watch, especially with the gut-punch of an ending:

Tom & Jerry mega-collection on the way. 114 shorts! Extras! Collectible booklet!

Shame if Snoopy: The Musical isn't included, although I guess I could purchase that separately. It's one of the best specials with a terrific soundtrack, including what might be the best-known Peanuts song (and famously Jim Henson's favorite). I actually don't own any of the Peanuts specials on disc...

Cool, but when is that Casper movie reboot announced in 2011 coming?

Peanuts: 75th Anniversary Collection coming with 40 TV specials… https://screen-connections.com/2025/07/29/peanuts-75th-anniversary-ultimate-tv-specials-collection-blu-ray-dvd-release-details/ No information on extras (if any), or a specific list of specials.

Better late than never?

No, no. Elio has two fully credited directors at the start of the credits. It's not a Wonder Park thing. It's only the original director who's not given top billing (unlike Brenda Chapman on Brave).

Interesting things about Elio's end credits... Despite initial reports indicating "three credited directors," that is only technically true. Poor Adrian Molina doesn't get top billing, and has his name hidden in the main crawl (even when not credited as a "co-director," he is credited as "director,"...

Okay. That's very weird, because I could swear they did change it. I'm (almost) certain the paragraph originally read "Bird’s schedule seems to be the reason as to why he is not directing the third film in the franchise, given he’s in pre-production on Skydance’s Ray Gunn, as well as 1906 for Disney...
