Aardman’s Pokémon show is a delightful-looking romp that follows Sirfetch'd and Pichu

engadget.com Unknown 2025-07-22 16:59:07

We knew that Aardman, the animation studio behind Wallace & Gromit, was prepping a Pokémon show , but now we have some juicy details and actual footage. Pokémon Tales: The Misadventures of Sirfetch’d and Pichu, as the name suggests, follows the sword-wielding Sirfetch'd and the baby pre-evolution of Pikachu. It looks extremely charming, as one would expect from Aardman. The trailer is on the shorter side, but shows the dynamic duo getting involved in some cutesy shenanigans as an oblivious Wool

James Gunn Thinks ‘Anti-American Sentiment’ Is Hurting ‘Superman’ Overseas

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-07-23 02:45:27

James Gunn has a new Superman movie out—perhaps you’ve heard of it? The DC hero’s latest cinematic adventure, the first under DC Studios’ Gunn-led era, is a box-office hit and already has fans dreaming of sequels and spin-offs. But one notable quirk of those ticket sales is that Superman is doing better domestically than it is internationally, despite its seemingly broad appeal as a Hollywood superhero movie.

Ask anyone what the Thing’s catchphrase is, and, almost certainly, everyone will simultaneously say, “It’s clobbering time!” That’s just been a fact of the character for years. And, in the new movie Fantastic Four: First Steps, it’s also the case, but with a little twist. A twist that’s coming to the video game Marvel Rivals in a kind of unprecedented synergy of gameplay and movie promotion.

‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps’ Isn’t Quite Fantastic, But It’s Pretty Great

The Fantastic Four: First Steps is like an ice-cold drink on a warm summer’s day. A slice of apple pie with a glass of milk. It’s a nice, simple, familiar-feeling movie that will make you feel warm and fuzzy for a while but maybe doesn’t have the lasting power of something stronger. It’s easily the best Fantastic Four movie ever, and yet, falls just short of being fully “fantastic.” Nevertheless, it’s still highly enjoyable.

We Might Have Been Wrong About Where Spiders Came From

Technically speaking, every living thing on Earth can trace its origins to the sea. Some of these earliest creatures crawled onto land, evolving to become many different kinds of animals and insects—including, scientists believed for a long time, spiders and their relatives. A new study published today in Current Biology challenges the popular conception that spiders first emerged on land, instead suggesting that these arachnids and their relatives originated and evolved in the ocean.
