They even keep away filthy Orcs with their dams.

Just watched Atlantis for the first time with my daughter the other day. Beautiful movie, great characters and writing. All around great animated movie, even if it didn’t do well at the box office.

I'll wait around for some of that psychojet fot the extra damage and damage resistance.

Beavers flood areas so they can reach the trees they like to eat, particularly aspens up north. Most trees and plants can't handle being flooded. Anywhere they're non-native, they're basically pests, just look at Argentina.

This article reads like it was written by either a 12-year-old or Microsoft Explorer's shitty attempt at an AI.

Finns, do you carry a picture of Simo in your wallet?

The production style of that reminds me of YouTube in 2008. The windows movie maker titles, the soft guitar background, and nothing but pure information from start to finish.

Well, they didn't get paid because they made 4s of music, they were paid because they are Kraftwerk and Hannover Expo used that quite a lot in advertising, imagery and sounds and all.

.. .and released that as CD single (which I managed to buy at that time).

it says "Expo 2000 Radio Edit" and it's 3:36 long.

Beavers and mosquitoes. You heard it here first!

Sms... a bit pointlss.

I agr.

I checked if there are any Häyhäkäinen in Finland for more Ä's but no only Häyhänens besides Häyhäs apparently.

So is diamond. They are both carbon.

That still makes your criticism completely arbitrary with no empirical reasoning behind it. And you're completely wrong. Plenty of media with a mix of human and non human characters. Stupid criticism just complaining for the sake of it.

It's not an umlaut, it's the letter ä.

It may appear arbitrary, but note that such a mix is highly unusual. I can think of no other example. I cannot think what artistic contribution it can provide, and makes the pitching of the movie more difficult.

That's actually very common in Finland and even more than 2 isn't rare. But I can say that 40% (2/5) is a bit much, even by local standards. ;)

OK, let's get all this sorted out:

1. The Florida studio was (at the time) the last Disney studio to make hand-drawn theatrical films.

2. But they aren't now. Disney revived the traditional animation department in California for Princess and the Frog (and Pooh 2011).

3. And of course Disney owns several animation studios outside the feature animation division; those studios didn't switch to CG at that time. Remember all those mediocre direct-to-video sequels with hand-drawn animation in the 00's? And then there's the television animation division, which still does some hand-drawn shows today.

I think this is an arbitrary criticism that has no meaningful or empirical reason to be

How dare you!

I personally think having a random mix of human and anthropomorphic characters is a mistake. Choose a lane.

You are absolutely correct.

But I want to be one of thr animals that fill and adapt.

Also, humans are causing it. There will be a lot of suffering for humans and animals...we should probably try to limit as much suffering as possible and not actively contribute to it.

I re-watched Treasure Planet last year, and it is wonderful. If that came out today, it would probably be a big hit. I haven't watched Atlantis in years. I should re-watch that one as well. So many flops in this period for Disney that later became beloved.

I understand the purpose of roads. But the road is man made. So that road benefits us. The dam benefits a whole ecosystem.

Does he clear what he does with the forest and game commission?

Emperor's New Groove is so great. The story behind the making of that one is even wilder: https://www.vulture.com/article/an-oral-history-of-disney-the-emperors-new-groove.html

I think you're referring to the book by Rnst Wright.
