The First Trailer for ‘Hoppers’ Wants to Be ‘Avatar’ With Beavers

Pixar‘s animal kingdom and sci-fi mash-up, Hoppers, just dropped a hilarious first look fleshing out its premise, which asks, “What if we could finally talk to animals?” The trailer introduces a tech breakthrough in the form of a robot animal that scientists manage to transfer anyone’s brain into in order to get in deep with other species. And yeah, it’s like James Cameron’s Avatar, but make it cute. Our Sully in this case is Mabel (Piper Curda), who lets her mind hop into the tech prototype an

See How ‘M3GAN 2.0’ Built Itself a Bigger, Better M3GAN

For better or worse, M3GAN’s sophomore outing in M3GAN 2.0 brought with it much more action-packed mania than the killer-doll horrors of the original. That, and of course the awkward inconvenience of M3GAN’s body being destroyed in the climax of the first film, meant her return for round two needed a mechanical do-over… including a few upgrades for good measure. Now that M3GAN 2.0 is heading home digitally today, you can see just how the team behind the movie made those upgrades to make the all

How Netflix’s ‘Leviathan’ United Japanese Animation and Western Imagination

Leviathan, the latest collaboration between Beastars‘ Studio Orange and Star Wars: Visions producer Qubic Pictures, marks Netflix’s entry—alongside Crunchyroll—into the realm of Western novel-to-anime adaptations, echoing a path carved by the Answer Studio’s Anne Shirley. Based on Scott Westerfeld and Keith Thompson’s 2009 steampunk alternate history of World War I (featuring mechs and living animal airships), the anime aims to go beyond a copy-paste replication of its source material.

The enduring legacy of Hiromu Arakawa’s FullMetal Alchemist can be partially owed to its pair of anime adaptations by animation studio Bones.

In the rollout of its stylish and musical trailers, the anime hewed close to Watanabe’s Cowboy Bebop aesthetics, setting it up to live up to a standard from a bygone era of animation that it would never be able to satisfy audiences with, and never tried to.
