I always love when this pixel art pops up on my dash.

Walt Disney Pictures intros and outros
If Hotel Transylvania didn’t come out, this would have been the #1 animated film walkcycle in 2012
Jesus King Candy, HOW DO YOU EVEN DO THAT?!
His feet are just twirling on his ankles it’s fucking magical.
Okay I don’t normally do this but let me just say something about this animation and the sheer amount of detail they put into this walk-cycle in correlation to the character themselves. The way he walks in this first real ‘introduction’ to the character; notice how his legs go straight out to the sides of him while he twirls his feet- like the wheels of the cars he has been programmed to drive. Not only that, but the lull in his walk is exactly like spinning your tires while breaking (or revving one’s engine), which happens at the start of every cart-racing game. Also, his hand literally changes gears and ‘locks’ before his shooing hand gesture, before returning to the unseen gear-shift. Even in the second shot close-up, he stops in perfect time of 3, the same as the ‘ready, set, go!’ of racing games.
He is literally embodying both his car and racing games in general. His animation team made him into the true ‘king’ of cart-racing.
HOLYFUCKINGSHIT
Holy Hera! I didn’t even consider that! 😯
That just makes him that much more awesome! 😀
And kudos to those awesome Disney animators for always finding ways to add nice little touches to the characters in their films. 🙂
I just sincerely love this post
Fun Facts About The Nightmare Before Christmas Movie pt 1
Reasons why this is still one of the coolest films ever.
This film is the reason I’m a filmmaker and Tim burton is my favorite director
Also a fun fact:
Tim Burton did not direct The Nightmare Before Christmas
Henry Selick never gets the credit he deserves for this movie, and Coraline (which he also directed) never gets the credit it deserves for being total genius.
incredible.
The Prince of Egypt (1998)
The 4 minute parting of the Red Sea sequence took 10 animators 2 years to complete. (x)
suck it exodus.
can we talk about how alex hirsch has flat out said in a reddit forum that he would love to have a queer character on gravity falls but he legally can’t do that so when the episode “The Love God” came out Mabel was in a rainbow sweater
For anyone wondering how/why he can’t “legally” do it, it’s not any kind of United States law. It has to do with the laws in certain foreign countries where the show airs.
In some countries where Gravity Falls airs (China and Russia come to mind in particular), it is explicitly illegal to depict a queer character in a show for all-ages/children/families/etc. If it were to have a queer character, it could get the show and possibly the entire network banned from that country. This is also why in Adventure Time, Pen and Olivia have said at panels and such that while PB and Marceline being exes is canon, they unfortunately can’t bring it up in the show proper (or at least not state it outright).
It’s important to know this because I think it’s generally believed that the non-inclusion of queer characters/relationships in shows like Gravity Falls and Adventure Time is because of some executive decision, fear they’ll get angry letters from fundamentalist parents or something, when this isn’t actually the case. Creators have said the executives themselves are okay with it, but getting your show or maybe your whole network banned in another country is understandably not a good business decision. Foreign markets are actually really important to keeping a show going sometimes, there’s been a few I know of that have been cancelled simply because foreign branches of the network didn’t want to air it. So next time you’re wondering why your favorite cartoon doesn’t have a character that’s gay, lesbian, transgender, non-binary or so on, you can blame Chinese and Russian law.
The whole thing still really sucks though…
