This is Drawing For Nothing, an art book for the animated movies that never were or didn't get the chance they deserved. I'm very excited to announce the release of the first installment! I would absolutely love to know what you all think.

In 1985 there was apparently a E.T. spoof movie called P.P. The Planetary Pal and it was stolen before it could get released anywhere. Does someone want to send me 12 dollars via kofi and to buy the magazine with the interview with the director and I'll scan it

@TopazTwt This poster is from 1929. Mickey was not shown with gloves until 1929, the 1928 year was a guess by appraisers at the auction house.

@hyperprisms That's what I'm saying! This looks like shit and honestly a film shouldn't allowed to be tampered with after its theatrical release unless it's a vital change by an ARTIST. This change does not feel like it came from an artist.

@croffeepot Fun fact most arcades during the 80s didn't use carpet that looked anything like this. These patterns weren't adapted until the mid 90s. Here's a compilation of actual arcade floors from the 80s.

@walkout2winter Tons of people back then opposed trans people. The story of Peter Alexander is a very good example of this, he was ostracized from his county and wasn't allowed to be wed as a man or even have access to reassignment surgery. It's just that now the hate has a bigger spotlight.

@TopazTwt It's ok! People keep sharing this poster with the 1928 year without actually knowing the story behind it, just hoping more will see this. The poster is either from 1928 or 1929, and given Mickey never appeared in a cartoon with gloves until '29, it's safe to assume that's it

@rae_1347 @LemonadeAna7 @iamnotcrys @ThyChronos It actually scientifically makes the soda taste better! When stored in a plastic bottle the taste is tainted by the plastic beginning to pollute the drink. It's safe but it definitely changes the taste. The same thing happens in cans, which also have a plastic lining.
