FF+ Migration

Posted on by Aaron White.

A surprisingly adorable, funny, family-centric, and affirming adventure story with vibrant animation. This story has meaningful family representation and less constant empty slapstick nonsense than the typical Illumination film, and it is refreshingly welcome.

Episode 392: The Boy and the Heron

Posted on by Aaron White.

Hayao Miyazaki returns, 10 years after his semi-autobiographical previous final feature which led him into a lengthy hiatus. In what many believed would now be Miyazaki’s new final film before retirement, the legendary animation director tackles blending the real life grief of a boy who loses his mother in World War II with a fantastical story about an artistic creator passing the torch. While ripe with stunning animation, a beautiful score, and pockets of creative and amusing fantasy elements, the story lacks cohesion and left us emotionally disconnected.

FF+ Merry Little Batman

Posted on by Aaron White.

Damian Wayne, at his most adorable ever, tries to save Christmas from a classic rouges gallery of Batman villains in order to prove to his father that he’s ready for superhero work. Though aimed at kids and with a definite Saturday morning cartoon tone, this Batman super fan found plenty to enjoy and was left wanting more after a ridiculously fun reference-filled holiday romp.

Episode 391: Suzume

Posted on by Aaron White.

While full of the stunning visual style that we love about Makoto Shinkai’s work, the director’s attempt at blending Miyazaki-like fantasy and his typical themes of young romance and time travel don’t quite coalesce. We appreciate the exploration of national grief over natural disasters and enjoy elements of the road trip journey Suzume goes on, but as a whole this left us wanting more and not wowed as we have been with many of his previous films.

FF+ Wish

Posted on by Aaron White.

Disney’s delightful newest fairy tale pits a teenage girl and a friendly wishing star against the controlling ruler of a utopian kingdom. It’s not quite as magical as their best stories, though, and instead finds its biggest strength in valuable social commentary.

Episode 373: Elemental

Posted on by Aaron White.

Pixar brought us one of their most adult films yet in this beautifully animated tale of anthropomorphic elements. There’s a lot going on, though, from a romantic comedy to an immigration allegory and more. We dig into our responses to this somewhat surprising entry from the studio and share what moved us and where we felt it fell a little short.

Episode 370: Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse

Posted on by Aaron White.

Our animated web slinger Miles Morales is back and this time he’s got a lot more friends, a new enemy, and some spider-frenemies too. We talk about our love for the animation, of course, how this story utilizes more of a dual protagonist structure, and the fantastic meta narrative about “canon”, among many other things (including a few nit picks). Dive into the Spider-Verse with us this week, and enjoy a great conversation.

Episode 357: Belle

Posted on by Aaron White.

We love a good blockbuster anime that presents emotional themes, striking visuals, and awesome musical numbers. Hosada’s latest doesn’t quite coalesce as strongly as we might have hoped, but his depiction of a metaverse and some moving themes still held our attention, and the film has some memorable highlights for sure.

Episode 355: Everything Everywhere All At Once

Posted on by Aaron White.

We take on one of the most creative multiverse stories ever put to screen and share our responses to its absurdity as well as its strong familial relationship drama. Not everything worked perfectly for us, but we think there’s a lot positive to be taken away from this special film.

Episode 353: Strange World

Posted on by Aaron White.

Disney put out an original animated tale this year with a diverse family who goes on a fantastical adventure in the style of old serials, encountering odd, adorable creatures and fascinating biomes. It is also a heartfelt story about legacies and fatherhood, in addition to the strong points it makes about careful stewardship of natural resources. Sadly, too few have seen it, but since we thoroughly enjoyed our journey to this strange world, we just had to have this conversation all about why.
