I think Alberto is one of the most thoughtful and exciting animation directors working today. Interrogation of legacy of Spanish fascism and the Church, but with heavy genre lens. (I am also team unicorn)

@Real_Kilometers Yeah international animation wasn’t eligible for Best Animated until something like ~7 years ago, only for Best International. That’s why Wind Rises was nominated for Best Intl only 10 years ago.

Waiting to confirm Isao Takahata‘s passing, but if true, the world lost an amazing filmmaker, a talent whose sensitivity and intelligence gave us some of the best films about the human condition... that just happened to be animated.

Like I keep telling y’all, you have to invest in physical media if you want to be able to hold onto the things that are important to you. You cannot trust streaming services. “Buying“ a movie or an album through Apple or anybody else is a sucker’s game.
